Zoomin Effortlessly on Sunday was crossing the wire first for the ninth straight time, but just eight of those races are counted as wins. Zoomin Effortlessly was disqualified from his victory in the Grade 1, $250,000 Remington Park Invitational in his prior start June 4 after testing over the threshold level for stanozolol, a steroid. Richard Lee Robinson, his trainer for his starts in Oklahoma, which included a win in the Grade 1 Leo Stakes, waived his right to a hearing and was fined $1,500.
Zoomin Effortlessly earned $85,934 for his win in the All American Gold Cup. He is a 5-year-old by Zoomin for Bux and was bred in Texas. Zoomin Effortlessly’s other Grade 1 wins have come in the Championship at Sunland Park and the Refrigerator at Lone Star Park.
