2025 Pacific Classic (G1) at Del Mar, Fierceness over Journalism.
The G1 Pacific Classic has been an amazing race this decade
Just check out the feats we’ve been able to enjoy:
2016: California Chrome cements his place as the best older male in training when he bounds away from Beholder and Dortmund. (photo: Eclipse)
2015: Beholder takes our collective breath away and leaves the racing world speechless when she absolutely romped by 8 1/4 lengths. (photo: Penelope Miller)
2014: 3yo Shared Belief runs his undefeated streak to 6 while teaching his elders a lesson. (photo: DMTC)
2013: Game On Dude’s 3rd time was the charm, after just missing the previous year he crushes his opponents by a record 8 1/2 lengths. (photo: Bloodhorse)
2012: Dullahan denies Game on Dude while setting a new stakes record of 1:59.54 for the 1 1/4 miles (photo: Bloodhorse)
2011: Acclamation just keeps his nose in front, holding off a hard closing Twirling Candy after setting the pace. (photo: Benoit)
2010: Richard’s Kid wins for the second straight year (photo: Eduardo Contreras)
@thelookofeagles Looks like you were right about Arrogate looking off. Bafferts now saying he lost a bunch of weight out of the Pacific Classic and thus why he hasn't been training him right now.
Pacific Classic
What a grand little horse he was.
Looks like Pavel might have finally put it all together last out. No one was catching Accelerate but he was fairly clear of the 3rd.
On a different note holy smokes that win by Accelerate.
I am terrified about this race.
