In some minds, the field for the 26th running of the Grade 1, $1 million TVG Pacific Classic at Del Mar consists of Beholder and California Chrome, with the other seven just afterthoughts. For others, the main contenders are not a duo but a trio which includes Dortmund, all competing for a spot in the Breeders Cup Classic in November.California Chrome is the all-time North American earnings leader with $12.65 million banked, winning 13 of 22 races including multiple Grade 1 stakes like this one. The mare Beholder has won 17 of 23 races including last years Pacific Classic. Dortmund, by comparison, has earned two Grade 1 wins (the 2014 Los Alamitos Futurity and the 2015 Santa Anita Derby) in his career but considering he missed by a half-length to California Chrome in last months Grade 2 San Diego Stakes he should be respected. Among the others, 2015 Grade 1 Gold Cup at Santa Anita Stakes winner Hard Aces may be competitive in this group as he won the Grade 3 Cougar II Handicap over the track last month. The rest look overmatched, with the exception of Dalmore, a 3-year-old facing older for the first time, who enters the Classic off a pair of wins including the Grade 3 Affirmed Stakes.Dalmore earned a career-best 113 Equibase Speed Figure winning the Affirmed Stakes last month. Although that figure was below the career best 120 career best California Chrome earned winning the San Diego Handicap in July (with runner-up Dortmund earning a 119 figure) and below the 115 lifetime best figure Hard Aces earned winning the Cougar II Handicap one day after Chrome, it is the next-best last race figure in the field. It is even better than the three figures Beholder has earned this year. Considering Dalmore is just a 3-year-old, he is not even near full maturity and has much better races ahead of him. Trained by Keith Desormeaux and ridden by his brother Kent, Dalmore comes from the same connections as Preakness Stakes and Haskell Invitational Stakes winner Exaggerator so there is little doubt the trainer and jockey know how to get a horse ready for a big race. Dalmore gets the No. 9 post position for the Classic, which will allow Desormeaux an excellent trip behind Beholder, California Chrome and Dortmund, who all like to race on the lead or close to the pace in the early stages. As such, Dalmore has a nice shot to outrun his double-digit odds in the Pacific Classic.California Chrome didnt lose a step between his Group 1 Dubai World Cup victory in March and his San Diego Handicap win last month when he earned a career-best 120 figure. One of only three horses among the nine entered in the Classic to have won at a mile and a quarter, California Chrome has done so four times, proving he is truly a classic distance runner. With all horses except the mare Beholder and 3-year-old Dalmore assigned the same 124 pounds, there is no handicap in that department and from the rail regular jockey Victor Espinoza can go to the early lead or sit behind Dortmund or Beholder if either one of them choose to lead from the start. Personally, I cant find a single flaw that would have me believe California Chrome may be the anything other than the most probable to win the Classic. However, because he will be the prohibitive favorite he may not offer the most value as a win bet.Beholder is undoubtedly one of the best female stars in horse racing, having won 17 of 23 races and nearly $5 million. Never worse than second in six career races at Del Mar, she dispatched a field of 10 in last years Classic with a 116 figure, one below a career-best 117 earned winning the 2013 Breeders Cup Distaff. Last years Classic was her first attempt at this mile and a quarter trip and she handled it with ease. This year Beholder won her first two races but was upset in the Clement L. Hirsch Stakes over the track last month. Regular rider Gary Stevens knows her well and even though her recent figures of 105 and 107 seem far from the 120 and 110 California Chrome earned this year in North America, Beholder stepped up from a 106 figure to 116 in last years Classic so could be up to the task once more.For the exacta, considering Dalmore opens at 20-1 odds, he represents value even if he finishes second, so playing exacta boxes consisting of Dalmore/Beholder, Dalmore/California Chrome and Dalmore/Dortmund offers excellent potential return for the risk.The rest of the Pacific Classic field, with their best representative Equibase Speed Figures, is Dortmund (119), Hard Aces (115), Hoppertunity (114), Imperative (114), War Story (102) and Win the Space (112).Contenders, in preference order1.

Much of their preparations centered around fielding drills, team-bonding sessions through football, and watching video clips to figure out the opposition.As it turned out, Tripuras string of abject performances in the tournament ended in emphatic fashion as Services were routed by 219 runs after being bowled out for 163 in the final innings. It was Tripuras first win in the tournament since December 2012. That win had come against Himachal Pradesh and since then, they had gone without a victory for 29 matches, including their tournament-opener against Chhattisgarh.Smit Patel was one of the driving forces of the win, setting it up with his unbeaten 127 in Tripuras second innings. Patel and Udiyan Bose (165) joined hands for a 292-run partnership - the highest ever for Tripura - that turned a slender first-innings lead of 42 runs to a hefty 382.It actually felt very good, to be on the winning side and contributing significantly to the win feels really good, and we see some positive things from here, Patel told ESPNcricinfo.Patel made a difference in only his second match for Tripura, having turned professional after leaving the Gujarat side for better opportunities. It took me a little while to adjust to the players and, of, course, the atmosphere in the dressing room, Patel said. Gradually, I made it really comfortably, and the players are also comfortable over here. All the players are young, they are around 23 to 27, so weve gelled nicely.There are always various things which dont go your way all the time when youre home and when youre away, so its a part and parcel of the game. I have taken this step to move out and play for more opportunities, so its just the part and parcel that comes around.Before Patel, Manisankar Murasingh, the Tripura captain, played an important part, taking three wickets to help prevent Services from grabbing a first-innings lead. Murasingh was also a part of the team that won in 2012-13, under Ajay Ratra, and had played a central role then too, taking five wickets in the match and pulling the side out of a spot with a half-century in their second innings.We lost our first match against Chhattisgarh, so this win is very important as far as the points table is concerned, because we play our next match against Himachal Pradesh, and we usually do well against Himachal, Murasingh said. So, if we can do well for two-three matches, there is a chance of qualifying. We arent exactly thinking of qualification right now, our first goal is to prepare for the next match. There are seven matches to go, so we shouldnt get too carried away by this win.Murasingh said familiarity with the surface, which was similar to the tracks at home, helped. Itt was a sporting pitch.dddddddddddd If you showed enough application, you could score runs, not easily, but the fast bowlers had some assistance and the ball was coming on nicely to the bat because the bounce was even, unlike in Ranchi, where it kept low, it turned, and all sorts of things happened. The wickets in Agartala are similar to this one, so the guys got some help.Its very important because we won after four years in the Ranji Trophy, and this is the second match of the season. Yesterday, we got a call from TCA (Tripura Cricket Association) and they congratulated us, and announced a prize of Rs 10-11 lakhs for the team.Sundays win was only Tripuras eighth in 153 Ranji Trophy matches since their debut in 1985-86, and they have lost 99 of them. Murasingh put the win down to the kind of preparation that had gone into the season. Nothing wrong as such, but our preparations, I wouldnt say they are less, but in Agartala, when it rains, practising or finding a good nets facility becomes very difficult.This year, we were outside for at least two-three months. We played KSCA in Bangalore, then we had a camp for about 25-30 days in Mysore, and spent about 10-15 days in Hyderabad for another camp before the season. So, our preparations were good, and the TCA is also supporting us well. In the last two-three years, I felt our preparations were a bit scarce. This time, we started conditioning and fitness about three or four months before and focused on that.Did pitches have anything to do with the result? Murasingh didnt think so. As far as surfaces go, we play on neutral venues. This year, six of our games are in the East Zone, where they are mostly similar, be it Kolkata, Bhubaneswar, Ranchi. So surfaces dont make much of a difference. If we travel to Delhi, Valsad, Mumbai, we could face problems because we havent played more than one or two matches in these regions, but in the East Zone, I highly doubt we will have any hassles because all the players have experience.Patel felt the BCCIs move to stage matches at neutral venues was a good one. I think its pretty good because both teams have to adjust to the wicket as well as atmosphere around the ground. So, its pretty good, and, at the same time, pretty challenging to play on the wickets that are not familiar to you, to go out there and read the wicket and apply yourself.After the win, the team got together for a celebratory dinner. Its always good to enjoy the wins. Its equally important to enjoy the moments where we have done better, Patel said. So, yesterday, we had a team dinner and everyone gathered and put some music on. Today, we are flying to Kalyani, and from tomorrow, we will start our preparations for the next game. ' ' '
