Caracaro’s Throckmorton Wires the Awad

[Wandering Eyes]

Gold Square's Throckmorton (c, 2, Caracaro–Whatarocket, by Goldencents), the even-money favorite, went wire-to-wire to take the Awad Stakes at Aqueduct Sunday. Making his first start on the turf, the bay colt easily took the early lead and was under a snug hold through an opening quarter in :23.26. Let loose at the top of the lane as the half went up in :45.93, he scampered clear with a furlong to run and maintained a 1 1/2-length advantage to the wire, completign the six furlongs in 1:08.91. Glorious Boy (Independence Hall) was second and Zuby (Vekoma) was third.

Throckmorton was third over a sloppy Saratoga oval in his July 12 unveiling and was third again in an off-turfer at the Spa Aug. 14 before graduating over the synthetics at Gulfstream Sept. 14. Purchased by Global Racing for $8,000 at the 2023 Keeneland November sale, the colt sold earlier this year for $250,000 at the OBS April sale. He is the third stakes winner for sophomore sire Caracaro (Uncle Mo). Lifetime Record: 4-2-0-2. O-Gold Square LLC. B-Sierra Frla Farm LLC (Ky). T-Jose D'Angelo.
