Best Pal (born February 12, 1988 in Ramona, California - died November 24, 1998 in Ramona, California) was a champion racehorse, who to this day holds the record for purses of any California-bred racehorse, earning his owners, the Golden Eagle Farms, US$5.6 million over his lifetime.

He won the first running of the Pacific Classic at Del Mar, and finished second in the 1991 Kentucky Derby as well as the Santa Anita Derby and won the California Gold Cup at Hollywood Park. Retired in 1996, Best Pal had a massive heart attack while on his way to a training track at Golden Farm. He was buried at the farm, and a large boulder with a plaque covers his grave.
