Kinnon LaRose Earns First Stakes Win with Modo at Lone Star Park

Kinnon LaRose Racing added another milestone to its young training career as Modo captured the $75,000 Bluebonnet Stakes at Lone Star Park.

Making her move from the gate, Modo led wire-to-wire to win the 6 1/2-furlong Texas-bred stakes by 5 1/2 lengths, giving LaRose his first career stakes victory as a trainer.

Racing for Joel Politi, Modo covered the distance in 1:16.31 over a fast track, earning her third stakes victory and improving her record to five wins from 11 starts.

The victory comes early in LaRose’s transition into the lead trainer role following longtime mentor Tom Amoss’ move to an advisory position. After earning his first career training win at Keeneland just days earlier, LaRose has quickly added a stakes victory to his résumé.

From his first training win to his first stakes score, LaRose’s new chapter is off to an exciting start.
