all in Breeders' Cup

The 30th running of the TVG Pacific Classic at Del Mar will be contested on Saturday, Aug. 22. Here is a look back at some interesting facts from the history of this important 1 ¼-mile race.  

The path to the 2020 Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Keeneland Race Course on Nov. 6-7 is a road with plenty of ups and downs as talented racehorses vie for a spot in one of 14 championship races and $35 million in purses and awards.

Saturday’s $500,000, Grade 1 TVG Pacific Classic at Del Mar is the premier West Coast prep race for the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic and is part of the Breeders’ Cup Challenge “Win and You’re In” Series, offering an automatic berth to the signature race at the World Championships.
