BrianZipse · I always considered Awad a major late running threat year after year in the big turf races at Arlington Park. His '95 run was powerful! · 296 days ago ·

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. · 296 days ago ·
