The 31st running of the Pacific Classic can be viewed live on TVG.

Past form, of course, does not guarantee the results of the next race. But this is a tough race to bet.īased on past form, the combo would seem to be Flightline on top of whichever local horse performs best on this occasion. Should he happen to run out of the first two spots, that would open a reasonably-sized payday. If he runs as expected, players must be very precise in isolating the right combination. They might back it up with a smaller exacta with him second. Some players may take a one-way exacta slam, taking Flightline only on top in a straight ticket. Otherwise, the field is small enough that none of the jockeys should allow their horses to be swallowed up in a speed duel.įans will enjoy his stature as a special horse, even if it will be difficult to make money with him. Stilletto Boy may push for the lead with Flightline. Has three respectable efforts at 1 1-4 miles, including fifth at this surface in the Breeders Cup Classic won by Knicks Go. After Express Train beat him in the Santa Anita Handicap, Stilletto Boy toppled him in the Californian. Did turn the tables on Express Train, one of the better horses in this race. Forwardly placed and in good position coming around the turn, but just didn’t have enough. Gave a good honest effort in the San Diego Handicap, finishing a distant third to Royal Ship. Has not been the distance, otherwise he might be 1-9. His six-furlong time of 1:08.54 was just an introduction to his putaway burst that buried the field. His last also was impressive, scorching the Met Mile field after breaking slowly from the gate. He prevailed at Maiden Special Weights, then Optional Claiming and was a Grade 1 Malibu Stakes winner in just his third outing. Flightline (1-5)Ī generational horse? Follow the rising star, now 4-for-4. Was in position at the top of the lane, but Stilletto Boy would not let him by. Beaten by Stilletto Boy in the Californian.

Enjoyed a victory in the San Pasqual Stakes and captured the Santa Anita Handicap at this distance, 1 1-4 miles. It’s a win over the track on a day in which he looked able to stretch to 1 1-4. Based on that form, would have to be highly respected here. Enjoyed a nice stalking trip on the outside, allowing Stilletto Boy to pressure the pace, which eventually compromised favored Country Grammer. Ran a big one in capturing the San Diego Handicap, with ease, paying handsomely at 9-1. Was not a prohibitive favorite at 2-1 and was a clearly beaten second to Royal Ship. Came back to the San Diego Handicap at Del Mar. Authored a thunderous home-stretch rally to overtake Life Is Good shortly before the wire. He cashed in for his connections by winning the $12 million Dubai World Cup in March, beating Hot Rod Charlie.

Country Grammer (4-1)Īlready a big winner this year. Being able to regard 1 1-4 miles as a step down in distance is a positive, but still has much to prove against these. Has never been 1 1-4 miles, but went 1 1-2 and finished third in the Cougar Stakes. Beaten by Royal Ship and Express Train in previous races. The winner obtains a guaranteed berth, with all fees paid, in the $6-million Breeders’ Cup Classic at Keeneland in Kentucky on Nov.
