Knightsbridge Pulls Away to Win the $1M Pacific Classic by 6 1/4 Lengths
Knightsbridge won by a wide margin and secured an automatic berth in the $7 million Breeders’ Cup Classic, officials said.
- On Saturday, Knightsbridge won the $1 million Pacific Classic at Del Mar, California, finishing 6-1/4 lengths ahead of the field under jockey Junior Alvarado.
- Trainer Bill Mott shipped the Godolphin-owned horse to the West Coast from New Jersey after winning the Monmouth Cup five weeks ago, entering as the 5-2 favorite.
- The victory, worth $600,000, increased career earnings to $1,523,155 with eight wins in 12 starts; Original Sin finished second and Full Serrano held third.
- This win secured Knightsbridge a berth in the $7 million Breeders' Cup Classic at Keeneland on October 31, with Alvarado noting the horse showed "what kind of horse he is."
- While only two horses have completed the Pacific Classic-Breeders' Cup Classic double since 1991, Knightsbridge enters the conversation alongside star older horses like 2025 Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty.
