Leggs Galore and Ricky Gonzalez winning the Irish O Brien on the Santa Anita turf
William Sims homebred Leggs Galore was long gone in Sunday s $100,000 Irish O Brien Stakes at Santa Anita in Arcadia, Calif., as she waltzed to a 2 ¼-length win, which was her fifth consecutive triumph dating back to Aug. 7. Trained by Phil D Amato and ridden by Ricky Gonzalez, Leggs Galore, a 4-year-old California-bred filly by 2014 Breeders Cup Classic winner Bayern, got six furlongs over a firm turf in 1:08.17.
Breaking like a rocket from her outside post position, Leggs Galore opened up a four- length cushion after the first quarter mile and it was readily apparent no one was capable of pressuring her, thus assuring the brilliantly fast grey her second consecutive stakes win over the course in what may ve been her best effort to date.
