Roll On Big Joe emerged victorious in the $100,000 Grade III Palos Verdes Stakes at Santa Anita on Saturday, seizing the opportunity left by the scratch of favorite Big City Lights. Under jockey Umberto Rispoli and trainer Bob Hess Jr., the 5-year-old gray gelding secured his second stakes win with a dominant performance over the 6-furlong sprint. Bet as the second choice, Roll On Big Joe led from start to finish and paid $6 for the win. For All Mankind followed in second place, while Bartholdy, the 3-2 favorite, settled for third in a field of five contenders. Big City Lights, initially expected to be the top contender at 2-5 odds, was unexpectedly pulled from the race by trainer Richard Mandella on Saturday morning. Roll On Big Joe’s impressive victory solidified his status as a rising star in the stakes ranks, capturing the attention of spectators and fans alike with his exceptional performance.
