Posted on Sunday, August 24th, 2008
Strongly-supported Dearest Trickski held on tenaciously in the final strides to barely withstand the late challenge of longshot Tiz Elemental and win the $200,000 Rancho Bernardo Handicap (G3) Sunday at Del Mar.
Dearest Trickski scored her 11th victory in 16 starts and earned $120,000 in the Rancho Bernardo to increase her bankroll to $660,100. Since the Rancho Bernardo is part of the 2008 Breeders’ Cup Challenge, Dearest Tricksi also guaranteed herself a place in the Breeders’ Cup field for the the $1-million Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint on Friday, August 24 at Santa Anita.
Second choice in the wagering at 2-1, Dearest Trickski, a daughter of Proudest Roman bred in Florida, ran 6 1/2 furlongs in 1:15.17 and returned $6.20, $4.20 and $3.40. Tiz Elemental paid $10.40 and $6.40, while La Tee paid $11.60 to show.

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.
