2010 has been a great year for horseracing. There have been some amazing races over the past few months, and the future holds more still. Awesome Gem is a horse that has delivered outstanding results during the past four years, and is pushing for another strong finish this year.

On Saturday, he will run in the Grade 1, $1 million Pacific Classic for the fourth consecutive year. Since 2006, Awesome Gem has proved to be a promising competitor, racking up some serious coin in the process. Now age 7, he has made 36 starts since beginning his racing career in July 2006. He has earned an amazing $2,274,682.

The horse, which is owned by West Point Thoroughbreds, has posted victories on all sorts of surfaces. From grass to dirt to synthetics, the magnificent animal keeps going on strong. The Gold Cup marked the first Grade 1 win of his career. It was a win he took earlier this year. Horse Betting
