PILOT COMMANDER 2023 GRADUATE

NBS GRAD Pilot Commander broke well then stalked close up to the inside, looked to bid from the fence approaching the five sixteenths-pole but had to pause when lacking enough space, then gained and opening at the quarter pole quickly challenging out outer rivals, seizing command in the upper stretch, emerging clear with a sixteenth remaining and was kept busy to the wire winning the G3 San Carlos at Santa Anita Park! Congrats to all winning connections, breeder A R Enterprises INC., owner CSLR Racing Partners LLC, trainer Bob Baffert and jockey Juan J. Hernandez.
