*Overnight Stakes

Among the changes this year:


•New Grade I designations on two local stakes: the Clement L. Hirsch and the Pat O’Brien. The $300,000 Hirsch, for fillies and mares, will be run on Sunday, August 9, while the $300,000 O’Brien, a seven-panel dash, will add extra punch to Pacific Classic Day, September 6.

•The shifting of the Del Mar Futurity from its normal closing-day spot to a feature role on Labor Day Monday, along with an enhancement of its purse from $250,000 to $300,000.

•The renaming of the Del Mar Debutante as the Darley Debutante, honoring a liaison between the track and the worldwide racing and breeding giant that will provide significant extras to the juvenile filly championship race scheduled for Sept. 5, including a purse rise from $250,000 to $300,000.

•The reshaping of the closing weekend with its Labor Day anchor featuring a stakes bonanza of 11 races between Friday and Monday dubbed the Pacific Classic Racing Festival, highlighted by six Graded events, four of them Grade I’s.

•The dropping of handicap conditions on five of the track’s record nine Grade I events – the $350,000 Eddie Read Stakes (Sunday, July 25), the $300,000 Bing Crosby Stakes (Saturday, August 8), the Clement L. Hirsch Stakes, the $350,000 John C. Mabee Stakes (Sunday, August 16) and the Pat O’Brien Stakes. The installation of allowance conditions in place of handicap conditions is reflective of similar adjustments taking place nationwide.

•Besides the big four-stake afternoon around the Pacific Classic, four other afternoons feature stakes doubleheaders: July 25, Aug. 9, Sept. 5 and Sept. 7.
