  • JohnSigerson · The million drew a top notch international field. Looks like a fantastic betting race. They have free pp's for the graded races at AP at their facebook page! · 288 days ago ·

Awad’s greatest victory was in the Arlington Million in 1995. That day Awad turned in a dominating performance by not only winning by 2 ¼ lengths with Eddie Maple aboard, but set a course record of 1:58.3: a record for 1 ¼ miles that still stands today.Read More

  • LAZMANICK · Awad……the horse that no one seemed to respect. A four time G1 winner of $3.2 million and yet in 70 career races was favored only 16 times and was even money or less only twice. His greatest win was that Million in 1995 when he defeated Sandpit and The Vid in 1.58.3 for the 10F, the course record. In June of that year, 10 weeks before the Million, he ran another big one winning the Manhattan at Belmont in 1.58.2 for the 10F. One of his greatest races was when he finished 5th in the Japan Cup in 1996 beaten by 1 ½ lengths by Singspiel in a 15 horse field. And to think he started his career in a maiden 50K claimer. · 293 days ago ·
