Knightsbridge Romps in Pacific Classic

Key Points:

• Knightsbridge, favored at even money, dominated the GI Pacific Classic S. at Del Mar, winning by 6 1/4 lengths over Full Serrano and Original Sin with a final time of 2:01.79 for 1 1/4 miles.
• Trained by Hall of Famer Bill Mott and ridden by Junior Alvarado, Knightsbridge set fast early fractions and maintained strong momentum throughout, showcasing impressive stamina and talent.
• The victory marks Knightsbridge's continued rise, following a recent win in the GIII Monmouth Cup S. and multiple graded stakes victories earlier in the year, solidifying his status as a top contender.
• Knightsbridge is the 12th Grade I winner sired by Nyquist and has notable pedigree connections, including being a half-brother to Speaker's Corner and descending from GI Breeders' Cup Distaff winner Round Pond.
• His dam, Tyburn Brook, is related to other Grade I winners, and she has produced recent offspring by Curlin and Nyquist, indicating strong breeding potential for future racing success.
