On Pacific Classic day, my wife Pat and I sat in the Del Mar clubhouse next to a young girl and her grandparents. Pat said she was about 12, I said 10, so let's make her 11. Like the intrepid reporter I am, I never got her name, so let's call her Kelly. Had she been around 20 or more years ago, raci...Read More

  • medlocke · I think The Usual Q.T. is the logical favorite for the Pacific Classic. But it's certainly not a lock by any means for him. He's going to have to do some real racing to win the Pacific Classic. Dakota Phone has really been racing well. Having won his last start at Del-Mar. Beating Battle of Hastings in the San Diego Handicap. Richard's Kid won the 2009 running of this race, and is also more than capable of winning it again in 2010. Although Awesome Gem ran a stormer of a race to beat Rail Trip in the Hollywood Gold Cup. Most of his biggest racing successes prior to the Hollywood Gold Cup had come on conventional dirt. With the G2 Hawthorne Gold Cup having previously been Awesome Gem's biggest win. Del-Mar is also a very different surface than Hollywood Park. Much more difficult going over the track at Del-Mar, IMO. I think the biggest "live wire" in the race, if he run's to his ability? Is the recent raider from Great Britain, Crowded House. This colt possesses a tremendous turn of foot. He's been raced primarily on turf in the UK. But ran a couple of outstanding efforts on the Tapeta surface at Meydan during the Dubai racing carnival. If he likes the surface at Del-Mar as well as he did the Tapeta at Meydan? Crowded House's turn of foot could absolutely propel him to a victory in the Pacific Classic. IMO. · 532 days ago ·

  • humphrey · Many people forget that old Cougar II's first North American start (and the longest price he would pay) were at Del Mar. Imported by Anita's long time caller Joe Hernandez, my late wife and I were lucky to have seen him in second start at much shorter odds. The Big Cat was something but had to play second fiddle to Ack Ack. · 558 days ago ·

Spendthrift Farm's Temple City, the only speed horse in a field of five marathoners, took advantage of an ideal set-up to lead from wire-to-wire under careful rating by jockey Joe Talamo and win today's featured $125,000 Cougar II at a mile and one-half over Del Mar's main track. As expected, Temple...Read More
