CC, LLC is salivating lol oh wait.................there's a nice horse on the east coast, who won't have home track advantage, but may just ruin their party - go frosted - much classier, better bred horsie
so Delmar cuts purses and goes in on this? not so nice for their horsemen
unless Frankie isputting in 999.999 (actually probable!) more proof dm needs a "management makeover"
seriously, the BC at SA- again? no wonder it's ratings keep dropping
Del Mar and The Stronach Group have announced an offer of a $1-million bonus to a horse who sweeps this year's TVG Pacific Classic, the Xpressbet Awesome Again Stakes and the Breeders' Cup Classic.
The three Grade I races, all open to 3-year-olds and up, are scheduled to be run on Saturday, August 20 (TVG Pacific Classic at Del Mar), Saturday, October 1 (Xpressbet Awesome Again Stakes at Santa Anita Park) and Saturday, November 5 (Breeders' Cup Classic at Santa Anita Park).
The $1,000,000 TVG Pacific Classic and the $6,000,000 Breeders' Cup Classic are both run at a mile and one quarter. The $300,000 Xpressbet Awesome Again is contested at a mile and one eighth.
“A big part of our business is to bring our fans the stars of the game,” said Del Mar's executive vice president for racing Tom Robbins. “A bonus like this is an extra added incentive for the best horses to come to Southern California and aim for our biggest prizes. With the Breeders' Cup at Santa Anita again this year, it is a gold lining on a natural path for a potential champion.”
Santa Anita will host the Breeders' Cup for a record ninth time this year on Friday and Saturday, November 4 and 5.
