Muth (Juan Hernandez riding) heads a field of seven for the Shared Belief Stakes on Sunday at Del Mar, his first race since his Arkansas Derby win in March. Bob Baffert also entered Imagination (Kazushi Kimura) and Wynstock (Kyle Frey). The trainer said it’s a prep for either the Sept. 28 California Crown at Santa Anita or the Sept. 21 Pennsylvania Derby. • The Pacific Classic Day undercard at Del Mar on Saturday features 2023 stakes winners seeking repeats: Phil D’Amato-trained Gold Phoenix (Frey) in the Del Mar Handicap, which the gelding also won in 2022; Bob Baffert-trained Du Jour (Hernandez) in the Del Mar Mile, and D’Amato’s Motorious (Antonio Fresu) in the Green Flash Handicap. • The 11-race card Saturday starts at 1:30 p.m. as first
