Something Awesome gets break after bleeding

Something Awesome, who finished last as the 5-2 favorite, bled through Lasix during the $300,000 Pimlico Special on Friday, according to trainer Jose Corrales.

Since being transferred to Corrales last fall, Something Awesome had won five of six starts, including the Grade 2 Charles Town Classic and the Grade 3 General George at Laurel Park. The 7-year-old had previously been racing on a synthetic surface at Woodbine.

“On a scale of one to five, he bled a three,” Corrales said.

Something Awesome, who is owned by Stronach Stable, will be turned out on a farm and will rejoin Corrales’s stable in late summer. Corrales said that if he trains well, Something Awesome could be considered for the Breeders’ Cup Classic at Churchill Downs.

The son of Awesome Again is 9 for 25 in his career with earnings of almost $1.1 million.
