Breeders’ Cup Challenge Races at Del Mar: Del Mar Handicap, Pacific Classic, Pat O’Brien, Rancho Bernardo
Posted on Tuesday, August 19th, 2008
The 2008 Breeders’ Cup Challenge dominates Del Mar this weekend, with six horse races: the August 23 Del Mar Handicap (G2), the August 24 Pacific Classic (G1), Rancho Bernardo Handicap (G3), Del Mar Mile Handicap (G2) and the Pat O’Brien Handicap (G2).
With the decision by race horse trainer John Sadler to send Tissy Fit into the Del Mar Handicap (G2), a full field seems likely for Saturday’s 1 3/8-mile race on Del Mar’s Jimmy Durante Turf Course.
While two Saratoga-based Pacific Classic prospects, one at Churchill Downs and one at Del Mar, put in their final serious works for Sunday’s $1-million Pacific Classic (G1) at 1 1/4 miles on the Del Mar main track.
