I am pretty sure that Ferocious Won gets a $250,000 bonus if he wins this for sweeping all three legs.

I'm quite sure that he will if he wins this race. This is the most exciting running of the race in quite some time because of it.

Hard not to root for him.

Ferocious gets pressure from Run Red Run, Indian Hawke and Albert here right from the bell.. Joe Gioia's Shuffling Maddnes gets the switch to Castellano, and it all comes his way late...
