ARCADIA, CA – The 2/5 heavy favorite Concert Tour fought hard to eke out a narrow victory in Saturday’s $200,000 San Vicente Stakes (G2) at Santa Anita Park.
Concert Tour outkicked the pacesetting Freedom Fighter to win the 7-furlong fast dirt sprint by a neck after tracking him early from third.
The Chosen Vron, Found My Ball, and Uncle Boogie completed the order of finish.
Mr. Impossible scratched in favor of a maiden special weight Sunday.
Concert Tour’s win was his second straight following a local debut score on January 15. The Street Sense colt’s earnings now stand at $156,600 for owners/breeders Gary and Mary West.
“He was a little green and he cut away a little bit at the last part when I took the lead,” said winning jockey Joel Rosario. “I thought that was a good race.”
Concert Tour returned $2.80 to win, $2.40 to place, and $2.10 to show. Freedom Fighter brought back $3.60 to place and $2.10 to show, while The Chosen Vron paid $2.10 to show.
