DEL MAR – Jockey Clinton Potts celebrated his 37th birthday Wednesday by riding Ten Churros to a 2½-length victory over Tammy's Luck in the $108,200 Generous Portion Stakes at Del Mar.

Ten Churros, who carried 116 pounds, covered six furlongs in 1:11.61 and paid $9.80, $5.40 and $3.80. The win in the race for California-bred 2-year-old fillies was the second in four lifetime starts for Ten Churros and was worth $64,920.

“They put the blinkers on her today to get her to relax,” Potts said. “You can do that with them sometimes and that was the plan today and it worked. She was very responsive and when it was time off that fast pace, she came running. It worked out great.”

Tammy's Luck returned $9.40 and $4.80. Trash Master, a 17-1 long shot, finished third and paid $5.20 to show. Streamin Heat, the 17-10 favorite, was last in a field of seven.

The stakes win was the first of the Del Mar meeting for trainer Bob Baffert and his 79th overall at the track – most of any trainer.

“Well, I got my stakes win for the meet,” he said. “Now I can go home. She's been working well and training, and I decided to put Clinton (Potts) back on her. I told him if we're going to rate her, maybe this is the day. When he came off the turn, I was feeling pretty good.”
