Bella Vita and Leggs Galore headline in Sunday’s $100,000 Irish O’Brien Stakes

At 1h02, on March 13, 2021 • By SANTA ANITA

Bella Vita and Leggs Galore, a pair of 4-year-old fillies by Shah’s 2014 Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Bayern, headline a strong field of eight California-bred fillies and mares going six furlongs on turf in Sunday’s $100,000 Irish O’Brien Stakes at Santa Anita.

Sponsored by the CTBA, the Irish O’Brien is part of the lucrative Golden State Series for eligible California-bred or sired horses.

A filly that has done nearly everything asked of her, the Simon Callaghan-trained Bella Vita was “push button” in rallying for a thoroughly dominating 4 ½ length win going six furlongs on dirt in the Spring Fever Stakes on Feb. 21, her first start since running in the Evening Jewel Stakes on May 16, 2020.
