Bolo and Om Get a Rematch in $400,000 Frank E. Kilroe Mile
On Saturday at Santa Anita, the stakes action will kick off with the $400,000 Frank E. Kilroe Mile. Carded at one mile on the turf, the Grade 1 event has drawn a field of seven colts and geldings.
Bolo headlines the competitive field as the morning line favorite at odds of 2-1 for trainer Carla Gaines. A four-year-old son of Temple City, he has been on the board in six of his nine starts and is a four-time winner. Last time out, he returned off of a seven-month layoff to defeat a quality field in the Arcadia Stakes (G2). Mike Smith will be aboard and they will break from post position four.

He is trying to improve off of a third-place finish in the Arcadia Stakes (G3) last time out and will break from the rail under jockey Gary Stevens.
Bal a Bali (BRZ) coming in fresh
Also in the field at morning line odds of 7-2 is Bal a Bali (BRZ) for trainer Richard Mandella. A dark bay son of Put it Back, the six-year-old has won thirteen of his eighteen starts and is a graded stakes winner. He is coming out of a third-place finish in the San Gabriel Stakes (G2) and has been training steadily since then. Flavien Prat will be in the irons and they will break from post three.
