Seabiscuit vs. Ligaroti (1938)<\/strong><br \/>\nLin Howard, co-owner of Ligaroti with Bing Crosby, thought their horse could beat his father\u2019s Seabiscuit, but in the 1938 match race it was Charlie Howard\u2019s horse by a nose after a slam-bang finish that led to the suspension of both jockeys, George Woolf on Seabiscuit and Spec Richardson on Ligaroti.<br \/>\n<strong>2. Cigar upset by Dare and Go (1996)<\/strong><br \/>\nCigar had won 16 in a row, matching Citation, but in the 1996 Pacific Classic, Dare and Go, ridden by Alex Solis and trained by Richard Mandella, beat him by 3 1\/2 lengths in an upset that shocked a crowd of 44,181.<br \/>\n<strong>3. Shoemaker wins 94 in \u201954 (1954)<\/strong><br \/>\nBill Shoemaker, riding 36 of the 41 days, won a record 94 races in 1954, 42 of them for the trainer Red McDaniel.<br \/>\n<strong>4. Del Mar Thoroughbred Club granted lease (1970)<\/strong><br \/>\nThe not-for-profit Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, which still conducts racing as a tenant of state-owned Del Mar, got its start in 1970 when Gov. Ronald Reagan, hoping to give a slumping track a boost, granted a lease to the\u00a0 group headed by Clement Hirsch and John Mabee.<br \/>\n<strong>5. Shoemaker one-ups Longden (1970)<\/strong><br \/>\nOn his way to 8,833 wins, Bill Shoemaker passed the retired John Longden as the winningest rider when on Sept. 7, 1970, with Longden cheering him on, Dares J gave him his 6,033rd win.<br \/>\n<strong>6. Longden becomes winningest rider (1956)<\/strong><br \/>\nTen years before he retired, John Longden surpassed England\u2019s Sir Gordon Richards as the world\u2019s winningest rider by winning the Del Mar Handicap with Arrogate on Labor Day, 1956, for his 4,871st win.<br \/>\n<strong>7. Frankel wins four straight Pacific Classics (1992-95)<\/strong><br \/>\nThe late Bobby Frankel won the Pacific Classic six times, including four in a row with horses not favored: Missionary Ridge (24-1) in 1992, Bertrando (3-1) in 1993, and Tinners Way (7-1 and 5-2) in 1994-95.<br \/>\n<strong>8. Pincay gets win No. 8,000 (1993)<\/strong><br \/>\nLaffit Pincay won his 8,000th career race Aug. 29, 1993, but because of a bookkeeping error \u2212 a win in Mexico that hadn\u2019t been logged \u2212 wasn\u2019t honored until the next day.<br \/>\n<strong>9. Espinoza\u2019s seven-win day (2006)<\/strong><br \/>\nRiding mostly short-priced horses \u2212 the average win payoff for a $2 bet was $5.30 \u2212 Victor Espinoza became the first jockey to win more than six races on a Del Mar card when he clicked with seven of 10 mounts on Labor Day, 2006.<br \/>\n<strong>10. Man runs onto track (1995)<\/strong><br \/>\nOn Aug. 10, 1995, Russell Howard Caputo, a distraught 38-year-old man, was taken into custody and sent to a county mental health facility after he jumped the outer grandstand fence, ran on to the track and threw a duffel bag in the middle of a stretch run of a race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Celebrating its 75th season, Del Mar
