Oh So Awesome
Team Valor bought Oh So Awesome in March with the specific intention of starting the Awesome Again colt in the Belmont Stakes (G1) on Saturday,
Oh So Awesome, by Awesome Again Awesome Again Deputy Minister – Primal Force, by Blushing Groom (Fr) Standing at: Adena Springs Kentucky 2006 fee: $125,000 First Year at Stud: 1999 Top Ten Runners By Lifetime Earnings Updated 5/30/2006 Ghostzapper $3,446,120 Wilko $1,814,574 Toccet $931,387 Spun Sugar $764,171 Personal Legend $744,805 Belenus $615,665 Round Pond $596,300 Awesome Action $450,339 Hotstufanthensome $417,220 Eishin Newton $371,032 Oh So Awesome finished third in an overnight stakes race on the dirt at Belmont Park on May 19 in his United States debut. The colt combines elements of two previous Team Valor horses who hit the board in the Belmont: he is a European import like 1992 runner-up My Memoirs (GB), and he is trained by Jimmy Jerkens, like 1998 third-place finisher Thomas Jo. "I'm a little apprehensive about this, because we usually buy them based on talent, not pedigree," Irwin. "With him, we were banking 100% on his pedigree—that he would improve on dirt since he's by Awesome Again. That's the play on this one. It's worth a shot." http://www.thoroughbredtimes.com/tod...64213&subsec=2

He is the one who scares me the most out of the entire field.

i would like to think that they have some idea of what they are doing, but if you look at the times he has raced, they are not too impressive. although its tough to judge, becaus etheone race has an "HY" caption, i presume that is hilly ??
what is of note, is the wilko connection in his pedigree, that horse never stops trying.
