What the Nation is saying about Trainer Gary Jones...

Invasor: First-Ballot Hall of Famer

A Grade 1 winner on three continents, Horse of the Year in two nations, Triple Crown champion, and a winner of the two richest dirt races in the world, you better believe that Invasor is headed to Racing's Hall of Fame.Read More

Mike in SB · Totally agree, I was lucky enough to see him run twice, in the Pimlico Special and Breeders Cup. He was a great horse and as you said he would often go off in the big races at pretty good odds. He will be in the Hall of Fame. I am looking forward to the article on Chris Antley and personally I think Alex Solis deserves to be in the Hall of Fame as well. · 79 days ago ·

goblin · I agree that Invasor deserves to be a first-ballot Hall of Fame horse! He was a unique presence in the U.S., generating excitement and inspiring confidence as he provided win after win regardless of the circumstances of the race. His Breeders' Cup Classic is my favorite. · 79 days ago ·

AmbitiousD · Thank you for chronicling this wonderful horse's career. I agree that he is well deserving of the Hall of Fame. Although his progeny have not accounted for much yet, it is hard for me to think that he will not sire a high caliber horse in his stud career as well. · 79 days ago ·

mshutty · Little known fact that Invasor is my all-time favorite thoroughbred. There was never a Breeder's Cup Classic contender in which I had so much confidence. Just as the sun broke through after a grey BC day, Invasor comes bounding around that final turn and if you were sitting in the stands at the top of the stretch as I was, there was no doubt who was going to win the Classic. Very deserving horse for a spot in the Hall of Fame. · 78 days ago ·

Best Pal Was First Pacific Classic Champ

Patrick Valenzuela was up on Best Pal, returning to the winner’s circle. But he was well aware of what was going on in the Del Mar grandstands. “The crowd was going crazy,” Valenzuela recalled of the moments after the inaugural running of the Pacific Classic on August 10, 1991. “It was an honor just...Read More

A little perspective on the induction of Best Pal into the National Museum of Racing’s Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., on Friday: It is entirely comparable to Ted Williams in the baseball hall, Marcus Allen in football and Bill Walton in basketball.

Best Pal rallies for upset win in inaugural Pacific Classic

Published: August 11, 1991 On a day that many believed would settle the rivalry between Farma Way and Festin, local upstart Best Pal ran the race of his life to defeat perhaps the year's best field of older horses and capture this afternoon's inaugural $1 million Pacific Classic. Read More
