The Del Mar Futurity is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually at Del Mar Race Track in Del Mar, California. A Grade I event since 2007, the race is open to horses, age two, willing to race seven furlongs on Polytrack synthetic dirt and offers a purse of $250,000.
The race is currently part of the Breeders' Cup Challenge series. The winner will automatically qualify for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile. In 1971, it was run in two divisions on Turf.
Not only does trainer Bob Baffert hold the record for the most Del Mar Futurity wins with nine, seven of those wins came in consecutive years.
