Halo Dolly crosses the $1 million mark

Halo Dolly, a 6-year-old Popular mare, ran second in a Golden Gate Fields allowance race Saturday as she passed the $1 million mark in earnings.
She ran second as the favorite to Sing and Tell in the 1 1/16-mile allowance race, earning $9,100 to surpass the $1 million milestone.

The multiple-stakes-winning mare, who is at her best on the turf, has 18 career victories, six seconds, and six thirds while earning $1,003,416. She has won 10 stakes, including the Grade 2 Yellow Ribbon, the Grade 3 Wilshire, and the Solana Beach three times.

She is trained by Jerry Hollendorfer, who also is a member of the large group that owns the mare.

Alvarado injured one day after milestone

Jockey Frank Alvarado, who scored his 3,000th career victory Friday and won two races earlier on the card, sustained a concussion and was also undergoing X-rays on his right shoulder following a two-horse spill in the ninth race Saturday at Golden Gate Fields.

Pedro Terrero also sustained a concussion and bruised his left shoulder after his mount, Tebows Big Play, fractured his right front ankle at the 16th pole. Alvarado’s mount, Adriatic Son, couldn’t avoid Tebows Big Play and fell. Tebows Big Play had to be euthanized, but Adriatic Son was not injured.
