Del Mar: Pacific Classic

The list of candidates for the $1 million Pacific Classic on Aug. 28 grew over the weekend to include a Canadian stakes winner and a horse claimed for $40,000 on Saturday.




Don Cavallo, a 4-year-old colt owned by Frank Stronach, won the Grade 3 Dominion Day Stakes by 3 3/4 lengths in his last start on a Polytrack surface, which came at Woodbine, near Toronto, on July 1.

Trained by Roger Attfield, Don Cavallo has won 3 of 4 starts on synthetic tracks.
