Awad Kicks To Victory

Eddie Maple supplied the patience and Awad delivered the kick, rallying to win the Arlington Million at Chicago’s Arlington International Race Course in record time.

Awad pulled away for a 2-1/4-length victory over favored Sandpit. He completed the 1-1/4-mile turf race in 1:58-3/5 shaving one-fifth of a second off the course mark set in 1982 by Perrault.

Awad paid $13.80, $4.80 and $4.20.
