—Feb 3— Editore made amends for his dull showing in the San Gabriel Stakes in January with a convincing length-and-a-half score in the San Marcos Stakes on Saturday. The Paulo Lobo trained gelding did it with style, rallying from fourth place to overtake front-running Free Rose in a thrilling stretch run. Perhaps due to his lackluster effort in the San Gabriel, Editore 6/1 in the San Marcos, and paid $15.90 to win.
Free Rose, who was making his 2018 debut in the race, was the hard luck loser. The longest shot on the board at 26/1, he appeared to have the race won but tired badly inside the final eighth.
Itsinthepost, a six-year-old gelding bred in France and trained by Jeff Mullins, finished third as the 4/5 favorite, who earlier lost in the San Gabriel as the 2/5 choice (where he also finished third).
