Knightsbridge wins Del Mar Pacific Classic

Overview

The 36th running of the $1 million Pacific Classic Stakes at Del Mar concluded with a dominant performance by Knightsbridge. The 5-year-old Godolphin homebred, trained by Bill Mott, secured a 6 ¼-length victory in the 1 ¼-mile dirt race. This win marks Knightsbridge’s fourth graded stakes victory of the year and serves as an automatic qualifier for the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic in October.

Prior to the race, the field of 11 included high-profile competitors such as Dubai World Cup winner Hit Show, Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile winner Full Serrano, and Santa Anita Handicap winner British Isles. Analysts had previously noted that track conditions and pace would be critical factors in the outcome.
