After finishing fourth in her grade I debut in the Del Mar Debutante, Noted and Quoted found success in her second try at the top level with a half-length victory in the $300,000 Chandelier Stakes (gr. I) Oct. 1 at Santa Anita Park.

After tracking early leader With Honors through most of the 1 1/16-mile race, jockey Rafael Bejarano asked Noted and Quoted for more in early stretch and the daughter of The Factor   surged to the lead as With Honors held second. Zapperkat finished third. The victory gives trainer Bob Baffert 10 wins in the Chandelier.

"I have to give Bob a lot of credit for this," said Bejarano who secured his fourth Chandelier win since 2011. "Baffert told me that he thought I might want to stay on Noted and Quoted because she was going to be prepared to run the mile and a sixteenth. And, he was right. American Cleopatra (who finished eighth) was right next to me but Stewart (Elliott, on American Cleopatra) didn't have enough horse and mine was the better horse today." The Chandelier marked her first try at two turns.

Speedway Stable's Noted and Quoted completed the distance in 1:44.88 on a fast track.

The Chandelier is a Breeders' Cup Challenge "Win and You're In" race to the Juvenile Fillies (gr. I). Peter Fluor of Houston races as Speedway Stable.

LNJ Foxwoods' With Honors, who was trying dirt for the first time after winning her first two starts on turf, including a stakes race at Del Mar, raced well from the inside post under Flavien Prat. The daughter ofWar Front   skipped through a quarter-mile in :23.29 and a half-mile in :47.10, while Bejarano kept Noted and Quoted close.

Noted and Quoted challenged after six furlongs in 1:11.81 then powered to the lead in early stretch.

"When they turned for home, I thought, 'That's a good filly (With Honors) that ran second.' I have a lot of respect for her," Baffert said. "(Noted and Quoted) is a very slight filly. I don't have to do a lot with her, but the fact that she's already proved she can go two turns—that's what we were trying to find out with her. I'm pretty proud of her effort, because she ran against a really great filly."

Noted and Quoted paid $16.80 to win, $8.40 to place, and $5.80 to show, while With Honors paid $10.60 and $7.60 to place and show. Zapperkat, the 5-2 favorite in her stakes debut, paid $3.80 to show.

Trainer Keith Desormeaux believes With Honors will move forward in the Breeders' Cup.
