Del Mar Stable Notes—August 9, 2012

MAJOR CANDIDATES WORK FOR TVG PACIFIC CLASSIC

Richard’s Kid, Acclamation and Interaction, three primary candidates for the $1 million TVG Pacific Classic on Sunday, August 26, put in workouts this morning preparatory to the meeting’s signature event.

Bob Baffert-trained Richard’s Kid was the first to go. With jockey Rafael Bejarano up, Richard’s Kid, winner of the 2009 and 2010 runnings of the 1 ¼-mile main track event, went five furlongs in :59.80 and galloped out to three-quarters in 1:13.00.
