Something Awesome works for Pegasus World Cup
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – The Gulfstream Park main track was upgraded from muddy to “good” during training hours Sunday, and despite the wet conditions, the work tab was extensive. It included Something Awesome, who is prepping for the $9 million Pegasus World Cup.
With jockey Edgar Prado aboard, Something Awesome broke off at the five-furlong pole with stablemate Golden Noguez, was allowed to drop several lengths behind nearing the half-mile marker, angled wide into the stretch, and could not make up the ground when set down out near the middle of the track.
Something Awesome finished about a length back of his target after completing the distance over the then-muddy and somewhat gluey surface in 1:02.54.
Something Awesome, an Adena Springs homebred, scored his biggest win last spring with an upset of the Charles Town Classic under Prado for trainer Jose Corrales.
