OM N JOY will be the first filly or mare to run in the G1 Pacific Classic since Beholder in 2016 and trainer Aggie Ordonez will try and become the first female trainer to ever win the race 🏇🏝️

Beholder is the only filly or mare to win the Pacific Classic, dominating by 8 1/4 lengths in 2015 and covered 1 1/4 miles on the dirt in 1:59.11 for trainer Richard Mandella with Gary Stevens aboard.

Om N Joy, a 4yo Om filly bred in California, is a 5x stakes winner including 2 graded stakes victories. Last time out she finished 2nd by a half-length in the G1 Clement L. Hirsch at @DelMarRacing on August 1.

With a 20-1 ML, is Om N Joy your pick in the 2026 Pacific Classic?

I wish rider LUIS SAEZ good luck today🍀 He sits on the edge of a milestone with 3,999 career wins heading into Thursday's card at Saratoga. I consider the 34-year-old to be one of the best and most underrated jockeys in the nation. Here he is riding DORNOCH to victory in the 2024 Belmont Stakes 🔥

Meloni, a 2yo American Pharoah filly, earned the highest Equibase Speed Figure of any juvenile in North America last week, posting a 91 for her 3 1/2 length victory in the Catch A Glimpse Stakes at @WoodbineTB for trainer @kevin_attard! 🏇💨

After a slow start, Meloni broke dead last and was 8 3/4 lengths off the pace at the first point of call. She rallied from 8th by 4 1/4 lengths to first in a single point of call and went on to draw clear by 3 1/2 lengths under @ljlmvel for her second victory from two career starts.

Notably, she averaged a massive 26.05 foot stride length and averaged 39.04 MPH with a top speed of 42.38 MPH, covering 6.5F on the turf in 1:15.62.

Fair odds: Golden Tempo returns in the Travers, and @EJXD2 hopes that means value elsewhere.
