On Saturday, the virtual racing world will be focused out west as our next “win and you’re in” race for the BC Classic takes place at DMR. It is none other than the Pacific Classic, a race that has seen the likes of Icicle, Barbarino, and Ginger Haggis pick up victories, while Combat Wombat even did it twice.

Lady Sammyantha Will Be Back in BC After Ballerina Win
It is now official: Lady Sammyantha will be returning to the BC Fillies and Mares Sprint to defend her title in that race, just as long as her trainer wants her there, after her victory in the Grade 1 Ballerina. It will become the third time that the veteran Ginger Haggis mare will be in the race, and she will look to become the second repeat winner of it.
Starting Over Wins Personal Ensign Again and Continues SAR Dominance
The Personal Ensign has been run every year since 2004, but one thing that we have never had in the race was a repeat winner. Starting Over would have the chance to be the first one to accomplish the feat, and she has always taken a liking to SAR, so she seemed to have a good shot.
Twelve Look to Dance the Best in The Ballerina

Starting Over Looks to Win The Personal Ensign Once Again
It’s a big weekend at SAR, but all of the exciting racing is not going to be on Saturday. Friday will also give us a big Grade 1, as the $500.000 Personal Ensign takes place.
