The Pacific Classic Thread
 

It is absurd that California would even honor this ban, but you can sleep rest assured that she will not be suspended for the Pacific Classic

From what I have heard, they can and will honor it. But she is appealing it so it wont affect the Pacific Classic status.

or she can ask for a waiver just for the pac classic. i just have a hard time seeing her kept from that race. not that i think it would matter for the horse.

The Pacific Classic
 

It's shaping up to be a pretty nice field, no?

Dullahan
Acclamation
Richard's Kid
Game on Dude
Rail Trip
Suggestive Boy
Where's Sterling

Does anyone know who else is possible /probable?

Yes it is!

Dullahan being the big X factor...:$:

dullahan will be a contender. so far my top pick is richard's kid in the pacific classic. dullahan is 2nd. rail trip will be 3rd. those horses are specialists on polytrack. those remain my top 3 picks.

game on dude and acclamation are gonna be the speedsters. game on dude doesn't seem to have yet lost a step but i dont think del mar isn't his best surface. so may not win this one. as for acclamation, well he appears to have lost a step and beat the dude easily in last year's race but had to hold off twirling candy at the end though. in his lone 2 starts have been wins but barely though. so am not too high either of them but will root for both them.

A little off-topic, but any news on Creative Cause. There was probably no chance of him going in this race, but talk of these west coast based horses had me wondering about him

Welcome to the forum.

Nice avatar! :)

Not biting your head off but merely asking... how has Acclamation lost a step?

He's won his last 7 starts... 5 of which were G1s and the other 2 G2s.

Juat curious why you think the way you do.

I haven't heard a thing since reading he'd probably be back later on this summer but that was a while ago. :wf

in his lone 2 starts have been wins but barely though. i've noticed they haven't been in the usual fashion imo as his wins last year.

TY! Being a west coast capper it was the only one for my style... :D

Acclamation is out.

Don't start another thread about the Pacific Classic.

:tro::tro:

what a surprise!!

I don't know why this was so ****ing funny but I had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. :D

Too bad about Acclamation.

I guess now I don't have to decide which horse to root for.

Speaking of Rail Trip this is the official oh-yes-he-did post for when he wins and Kingie is forced to admit that he is a teensy bit sentimental and had him on top. (You know you are). :p
