A 'PRIVILEGE' TO WATCH
   Pegram, Watson and Weitman's "TDN Rising Star" Executiveprivilege (First Samurai) stayed perfect in her third career attempt, reporting home a 1 1/4-length victress over Speedinthruthecity (City Zip) in the GIII Sorrento S. at Del Mar. The $650,000 OBSAPR graduate, a sharp debut victress at Betfair Hollywood Park June 28 and equally impressive next out winner in that track's Landaluce S. July 14, was never too far from the front in third through fractions of :22.58 and :46.01 here. With Rafael Bejarano aboard, the bay filly took over with a three wide move entering the stretch, and held off the determined rail rally of Speedinthruthecity to deliver her first graded stakes tally. "She's really talented--just a really good filly," trainer Bob Baffert offered. "I knew coming in here she was special and [Bejarano] rides her with a lot of confidence." Baffert continued, "It was a nice race for her. We've been going easy with her down here. She got a lot out of it, so it will set her up for the [GI] Debutante [S. at Del Mar Sept. 1]." Bejarano has been aboard in all three of Executiveprivilege's career attempts. "When I asked her to run, she ran," Bejarano commented. "She's very good. We wanted to let her run late today. [Baffert] is wanting to get her ready for longer races. And I think she'll be fine with that. She can run."
