ARCADIA, Calif. - Bolo’s win in the $200,000 Arcadia Mile on turf at Santa Anita on Saturday kept trainer Carla Gaines occupied in the hours after the race.
Asked on Sunday how many times she had watched the replay, Gaines said, “about 500.”
There was much for her to like while reviewing the race. In his first start since July, Bolo stalked pacesetter Obviously and rallied in the final strides to win by a neck at 7-1. The Grade 2 Arcadia Stakes was the first graded stakes win for Bolo, who finished 12th behind American Pharoah in the Kentucky Derby last May.
