Multiple grade 1 winner Colonel John schooled for trainer Eoin Harty during the races Saturday afternoon in preparation for Sunday's $1 million Pacific Classic. Colonel John heads a field of 12 that includes Einstein, Rail Trip, Informed and Awesome Gem.

The Pacific Classic is the ninth race on an 11-race card that begins one hour earlier than usual, at 1 p.m. Pacific. The card includes three other stakes races: the grade 1 Pat O'Brien Stakes, the grade 2 Del Mar Derby, and the Torrey Pines Stakes.

Misremembered Going to Pacific Classic for Bob Baffert

How unforgettable is this horse?

Misremembered is certainly one that Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert will have no trouble remembering, especially since the talented son of Candy Ride gave Baffert his first stakes victory with a horse he bred when he won the Grade 2 Swaps Stakes at Hollywood Park July 18. It was also Baffert's 4th Swaps Stakes win.

Misremembered, who is headed for Del Mar's Grade 1 $1-million Pacific Classic on Sunday, Sept. 6, posted a six-furlong work in 1:13.8 at Del Mar last Thursday, 8/20/09.
