The Pacific Classic Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually August or September at the Del Mar Racetrack in Del Mar, California. This Grade I race is open to horses, age three and up, which race one and one-quarter miles on the dirt. The event currently carries a purse of $1,000,000.

History

The event was inaugurated on 10 August 1991 with a purse of US$1 million and immediately became the premier event of the racing season at Del Mar. The first running was won by the 1990 California Horse of the Year three year old Best Pal in a time of 1:59{{frac|4|5}}. Best Pal would run two more times finishing third to Bertrando in 1993 and second to Tinners Way in 1994.{{cite web|url=https://www.pedigreequery.com/index.php?query_type=stakes&search_bar=stakes&field=view&id=16 |title=PACIFIC CLASSIC STAKES - DEL MAR, CA |work=Thoroughbred Pedigree Online |date=2020 |access-date=10 August 2020}}

The event was classified as Grade I for the third running in 1993 and has held that class since.

Notable among the runnings of the race was the 1996 renewal that saw champion Cigar attempt to best Citation's mark of 16 straight victories, but fall to a shocking upset by the unheralded 39-1 Dare And Go and jockey Alex Solis. Another exciting running saw Hall of Fame Jockey Julie Krone become the first female rider to win a million-dollar race when she guided Sid and Jenny Craig's undefeated Argentine bred Candy Ride to victory in track record time of 1:59:11. It would be Candy Ride's last race as injury would force him to retire prematurely.

Del Mar switched its main racing surface from dirt to synthetic Polytrack in 2007 and the Pacific Classic winner that year was long-shot Student Council, who was handled by veteran Richard Migliore.{{cite web|url=https://www.equibase.com/profiles/Results.cfm?type=Stakes&stkid=1834 |title= $1 Million TVG Pacific Classic Stakes |work=Equibase |date=2020 |access-date=10 August 2020}}

Starting in 2008, the TVG Pacific Classic became a part of the Breeders' Cup Challenge, where the winner of the race would automatically earn a spot in the Breeders' Cup Classic.{{cite web |url=http://www.breederscup.com/challenge.aspx |title=Breeders' Cup Challenge |access-date=2008-08-02 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080913093126/http://www.breederscup.com/challenge.aspx |archive-date=2008-09-13 }}

has become one of the top prizes for older horses racing in the United States each year.

In 2015 Beholder became the first filly or mare to win the event. She won by {{frac|8|1|4}} lengths with a final time of 1:59.77, against an otherwise all-male field of nine other horses, including 2014 Breeders' Cup Classic winner Bayern. She won in the third-fastest winning time in the history of the race,{{cite web|url=http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/aug/22/pacific-classic-del-mar-beholder/|last1=Zieralski|first1=Ed |title=Beholder romps in Pacific Classic |work=The San Diego Union-Tribune|date=August 22, 2015|access-date=August 23, 2015}} and with the second-largest margin of victory at that time, behind the 2013 win of Game On Dude.{{cite web|url=http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/93877/beholder-blows-away-pacific-classic-foes|title=Beholder Blows Away Pacific Classic Foes|last=Balan|first=Jeremy|date=August 22, 2015|work=The Blood-Horse |access-date=August 23, 2015}} In 2018 Accelerate would win by an even greater margin of {{frac|12|1|2}} lengths.

In 2016 California Chrome became the first Kentucky Derby winner to win the event.
