Acclamation is injured, likely out of Pacific Classic
Acclamation, expected to be the favorite in the $1 million TVG Pacific Classic on Aug. 26 at Del Mar, will likely miss the race after suffering an injury on Monday.
Owner E.W. “Bud” Johnston reported that the 6-year-old son of Unusual Heat came out of a Monday gallop with a slight swelling by the left front ankle.
“It might be just a lousy little strain, but it could develop into something serious, and it’s probably going to keep us out of the Pacific Classic,” Johnston said. “We’re only concerned about what’s right for the horse.”
