Before that, Olah was a jockey, recently telling the New York Times that he won approximately 190 races, including the 1947 Interborough Handicap aboard Tavstock.

Ariege was unable to beat Golden Doc A when they met on turf in the Blue Norther here Dec. 30.

"What a Cinderella story," said owner Johnny Taboada, who purchased Autism Awareness at the CTBA Northern California sale in his hometown of Pleasanton in September of 2006 for $1,000. The colt was named for his 8-year-old son Renzo, who was diagnosed with autism at age 2.
