Carving (center) triumphs in the Real Quiet S.

Carving made it back-to-back wins for Bob Baffert in the $100,000 Real Quiet S. with a well-earned victory Saturday at Hollywood Park. Baffert, who won the Real Quiet a year ago with eventual CashCall Futurity (G1) winner Liaison, is the first conditioner to win the Real Quiet twice.

Owned by Baffert’s wife Jill and Olympic gold medalist skier Bode Miller, Carving outlasted Fury Kapcori by a half-length. Ridden by Martin Garcia, the 2-year-old son of Any Given Saturday completed the 1 1/16 miles over Cushion Track in 1:46.04.

The win was the third in four starts for Carving, who was purchased for $55,000 earlier this year. Bred in Kentucky by WinStar Farm LLC, the dark bay has earned $129,900.

Fourth behind stablemate Power Broker in the Grade 1 FrontRunner S. Sept. 29 at Santa Anita, Carving has now earned his wins at three different tracks. He won first time out against  maidens Aug. 23 at Del Mar before taking the C.B. Afflerbaugh S. Sept. 12 at Fairplex Park.

Baffert, who has won the CashCall Futurity a record six times, indicated Carving could return for that race on Dec. 15.

"Hopefully, he will go," said Baffert. "I’m going to run as many as I can in that. I’ll try to load the gate up. I have a lot of nice ones. (Carving) has been a fun horse because he always runs better than he trains. Everyone in the barn has outworked him. He’s been a real surprise to me."
