Pat O'Brien Handicap

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pat O'Brien Handicap is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually at Del Mar Racetrack in Del Mar, California. The Grade II race was named in honor of actor and Del Mar Racetrack co-founder, Pat O'Brien. The race, also known as the Pat O'Brien Breeders' Cup Handicap, is open to horses age three and up willing to race seven furlongs on the dirt, and carries a purse of $300,000.

Pat O'Brien, a classic character movie actor almost always appearing in a Jimmy Cagney starring vehicle, loved the races.
