2016 Kelso H.

about this race

Race Info
History

Front-running Anchor Down could not be run down in the Kelso Handicap on Oct. 8, fending off Tamarkuz by two lengths for jockey Javier Castellano. The 5-year-old Tapit horse picked up his second stakes win of the year to go along with a runner-up finish to Frosted in the Metropolitan Handicap.

Trainer Todd Pletcher noted that the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile will be run at two turns at Santa Anita Park and said he was leaning toward directing Anchor Down toward the one-turn Cigar Mile Handicap on Nov. 26 at Aqueduct.
