The $1 million FanDuel Racing Pacific Classic Stakes is the signature race of the Del Mar summer meet as well as one of the more important races in the chase for Eclipse Awards across multiple divisions such as champion older dirt male and Horse of the Year as well as champion 3-year-old male, on occasion.

Foot traffic was heavy around trainer Jena Antonucci’s barn on the Oklahoma Training Track Aug. 27. That was to be expected. When you have a horse that wins the Travers Stakes at Saratoga Race Course, everyone wants to see him.

And, on Sunday morning, a lot of people wanted to see Arcangelo.

The fields for the 14 races that comprise the Breeders’ Cup World Championships really begin to come into focus in summer and fall and this regular feature will offer a snapshot profile of one of the previous weekend’s standout stars.

Given that Anarchist won the seven-furlong Grade 2 Pat O'Brien Stakes after narrowly losing the six-furlong Grade 1 Bing Crosby Stakes, logic would dictate he wants more distance. Yet that's what makes the Aug.

It was on June 10 that Jena Antonucci entered the record books by winning the Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets with Arcangelo and becoming the first female trainer to win a Triple Crown race.
