Posted on Sunday, August 24th, 2008
Peter Vegso’s favored Go Between gave jockey Garrett Gomez his second million-dollar victory in two days East to West, capturing the $1-million Pacific Classic Stakes (G1), signature event of the summer racing season at Del Mar.
Jockey Garrett Gomez, who won the $1-million Travers Stakes for three-year-olds aboard West Coast-based Colonel John at Saratoga on Saturday, drove Go Between to a neck victory over Well Armed, with Mast Track third and Zappa fourth in a field of 10 older horses.
McCann’s Mojave was withdrawn from the Pacific Classic line-up Sunday morning.
Runner-up in both the Santa Anita Handicap and Hollywood Gold Cup this year, the 5-year-old son of Point Given, Go Between, is trained by Bill Mott, who was running a horse in the Pacific Classic for the first time since l996 when Cigar was upset by Dare And Go as he sought his 17th consecutive victory to break the great Citation’s record.
Go Between accomplished the mile and one-quarter in 2:01.18 and paid $7.60,. $5.60 and $3 while earning a prize of $600,000 with his 8th win in 26 starts. Go Beetween now has earnings of $2,783,880. Since the Pacific Classic is part of the 2008 Breeders’ Cup “Win & You’re In” Challenge, Go Between has earned a place in the Breeders’ Cup field for the $5-million Breeders’ Cup Classic on Saturday, October 25, at Santa Anita Park.
Well Armed, who was piloted by jockey Aaron Gryder in a sterling performance, paid $5.80 and $5.60, while Mast Track paid $5.80 to show.
Student Council was 5th in Del Mar’s Pacific Classic Stakes followed by Surf Cat, Awesome Gem, Mostacolli Mort, Delosvientos and Barcola.
