Gold Cup Down Awesome Gem Napravnik

Horseracing Betting Lines

Inglewood, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - First Dude and Game On Dude have been entered by trainer Bob Baffert in Saturday's $500,000 Hollywood Gold Cup at Hollywood Park. The pair of four-year-olds are two of the eight older thoroughbreds set to start in the 72nd running of the 1 1/4-mile race. The Gold Cup is a Breeders' Cup 'Win and You're In' race giving the winner a berth in the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic November 5 at Churchill Downs.

 

"They're ready," said Baffert. "We're going to put Game On Dude on the lead. A mile and a quarter is no problem for him. The distance should not be a problem for First Dude either. He's like Shaq (Shaquille O'Neal), a big intimidating horse."

 

Owned by Donald Dizney, First Dude is working on a two race win streak. He won an allowance race at Santa Anita Park in April and captured the Alysheba the next month at Churchill Downs.

 

Awesome Gem is back to defend his crown in the Gold Cup. The eight-year-old gelding will start from post five with David Flores in the saddle.

 

Owned by West Point Thoroughbreds, Awesome Gem is the wealthiest horse in the race with more than $2.5 million in earnings. In his last start, he was second to Headache in last month's Cornhusker Handicap at Prairie Meadows.

 

Post-time for the Hollywood Gold Cup is set for 7:40 p.m. (et) and will be televised on ESPN.

 

Stanton, DE (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Leading female jockey Rosie Napravnik suffered a broken arm at Delaware Park on Wednesday when her mount went down during the eighth race. The 23-year-old rider will be out indefinitely. Napravnik was riding Naseeb, the 2-1 second pick in the five-furlong allowance race. The five-year-old mare broke down less than midway into the race, throwing Napravnik to the track. Naseeb was humanely destroyed.

 

This year Napravnik has earned nearly $4.7 million in 617 mounts and 131 wins.
