  "account": "Del Mar, California witnessed an intense battle on the lead as the $1 million Pacific Classic horse race concluded on Saturday. The 5-year-old horse, Knightsbridge, ridden by Junior Alvarado, emerged victorious with a margin of 6 1/4 lengths. Prior to the race, Knightsbridge had transferred from the East Coast after securing a win in the Monmouth Cup five weeks ago in New Jersey. Alvarado observed Knightsbridge \"skipping over the ground\" during the race. The horse was challenged by Full Serrano at the head of the stretch, but Knightsbridge quickly shook off its competitor. Full Serrano finished second, while Original Sin concluded third. The race's richest prize, $600,000, boosted Knightsbridge's career earnings to $1,523,155 in eight wins from 12 starts. This triumph marked Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott's second Pacific Classic win, achieved with Go Between in the 2008 edition. Knightsbridge, owned and bred by Godolphin, was founded by Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoun.",
