Longshots reigned supreme in Saturday’s $1,001,500 Pacific Classic (G1) racing 1 1/4 miles over the Del Mar main track, with 22-1 Mixto edging 7-1 Full Serrano in narrow fashion.

Adare Manor seemingly ran out of competition long ago in Southern California's older female division going long on dirt. Indeed, the five-year-old daughter of Uncle Mo has won her last seven starts in graded stakes for which she started as an odds-on favorite.

Godolphin’s homebred First Mission chased the pacesetting T O Saint Denis for most of Friday’s $730,000 Alysheba S. (G2) at Churchill Downs and cruised home to a commanding four-length win.

The leading older dirt male in training, Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) winner White Abarrio, will be sitting out Saturday's renewal of the $3 million Pegasus World Cup (G1) to await a pair of rich stakes in the Middle East later this winter.

The $600,000 Clark (G2) has often showcased up-and-coming three-year-olds for much of its 149-year history, Gun Runner, Will Take Charge, and Blame being recent examples.

Late-blooming sophomore Scotland put himself into Travers (G1) consideration with a front-running victory in Friday’s $130,950 Curlin S. at Saratoga.
