Pacific Classic Stakes Winners

The Pacific Classic has seen many memorable winners over the years. In the 1990s, horses like Best Pal (1991), Bertrando (1993), and Tinners Way (1994, 1995) made their mark on the race. Dare and Go's (1996) upset victory over the legendary Cigar is still talked about. Pleasantly Perfect won in 2004 before going on to international success. In more recent years, California Chrome (2016) and Beholder (2015), one of the few mares to win the race, have added their names to the list of champions. These historic victories contribute to the race's rich legacy and are a big draw for those interested in online horse betting.

The Pacific Classic Stakes is a significant event on the American racing calendar, particularly because it serves as a Breeder's Cup Challenger Series "Win and You're In" race. This means the winner automatically earns a spot in the Breeder's Cup Classic, which is the premier race for older horses and is held at Santa Anita Park in November. This makes the Pacific Classic a crucial stepping stone for horses aiming to compete in the Breeders’ Cup Classic and provides added excitement for bettors and fans alike.
