When I was 9 & 10 years old and sorta lived at Santa Anita cuz my Dad would go there every single chance he could we would travel to Del Mar on rare occasion.

My Mom would go. Its the only time she went to the Track, with us. That, The Architecture & The Distance we'd travel to get to Del Mar made it seem to a Kid like it was in another country, and the fact that Del Mar Track was surrounded by dirt, not much else around it made it seem so Exotic. Del Mar was a "Grand Adventure".

Wait a Minute.....that might have been my memory of "Aguas Caliente" Racetrack and it may have actually BEEN in another country lol.

I don't know, I was so young. Traveling to Del Mar though, regardless, was always a Big Deal.

Wish I was going to be there. Supposed to be one of the most beautiful tracks in the country.

Bagiant, do you know the head chef at DelMar? Guy who used to live next to me in Arlington, MA went out there to take the head chef job. His name was Phil. Damned if I can remember his last name. Real good guy.

Yeah and 'Aguas Caliente' was a Shit-Hole. 'Specially by comparison to DEL MAR lmfao.

It was them LOOOONG DRIVES, hours in the car to wind up at a Horse Track that confused me, between the two tracks

plus being so young + 44ish Years of Time Passage since then lol.

Collected.

Calm, cool, and collected – that's what jockey Martin Garcia and his mount Collected had to be as they neared the wire in the $1 million TVG Pacific Classic at Del Mar. That's because superhorse Arrogate was roaring down the stretch with dead aim on them.
"I could feel a big animal coming behind me," Garcia said. "(It was like) when you are in a little car and you can feel a big car coming. I could feel it, and I was praying I could hit the wire first."
The pair kept it together, giving Collected his first Grade 1 win – and allowing Garcia a huge sigh of relief with the half-length victory over the richest horse in the world.
Collected nabbed the early lead in the Pacific Classic, while Accelerate (upset winner over Arrogate in the San Diego Handicap) stayed close and Arrogate settled in third. They stayed in that formation through the first three-quarters of the mile and a quarter race, before Collected started to pull away. Arrogate found his best stride in the last furlong and came with a rush, but couldn't get there in time. Bob Baffert trains both Collected and Arrogate, who has earnings over $17 million.
Collected has not only out run his breeding as a son of City Zip, who was best known as a sprinter, but has also proven to be quite the bargain as a $150,000 purchase at the 2014 Keeneland September Yearling sale. To date, he has earned $1,260,500.
Collected is a perfect four-for-four this season, and a winner of eight of his 11 lifetime starts. After breaking his maiden first out at Santa Anita, every start has been in stakes company. The Pacific Classic victory secured the colt a spot in the starting gate for the Breeders' Cup Classic as a part of the Breeders' Cup Challenge Series.
