L’Auberge Del Mar Will Host This Year’s Pacific Classic Party

In collaboration with the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, L’Auberge Del Mar will host this year’s Pacific Classic Party, the highlight event of Del Mar’s racing season and benefiting the Winners Foundation.

The celebration will acknowledge Martine Bellocq, who will be awarded the prestigious 15th Laffit Pincay, Jr. Award the following day when the track runs its signature race, the $1 million TVG Pacific Classic.

Bellocq is being honored for her heroism on December 7, 2017, when she raced through fires at the San Luis Rey training site to help rescue most of the 400 thoroughbreds that were trapped in eight burning barns.

 

The Pacific Classic Party will be held at L’Auberge Del Mar’s outdoor Coastline, Bleu Bar, Sunset Terrace and Pacific Terrace. Del Mar Thoroughbred Club Executive Vice President, Craig Dado, and racing expert, Michelle Yu, will honor Bellocq and all the heroes of the San Luis Rey Fire, as well as lead a live auction to benefit the Winners Foundation.

This is sure to be a beautiful event at one of San Diego’s best hotel properties.

See you there!
