Lorenzo Robinson kicks off season in style with Awesome Line
TRAINER Lorenzo Robinson kicked off the 2024 racing season in style, saddling his first winner of the year with Awesome Line’s impressive victory in the $1.05-million Maiden Condition Race on Saturday, August 24.
The talented three-year-old bay filly, sired by Midnight Hawk out of South, dominated the native-bred three-year-old field, crossing the finishing line four lengths ahead in a swift time of 47.2 (23.0) over the four-furlong (800m) dash.
With Paul Country in the irons Awesome Line broke off well at the start of the race and disputed the early lead with Cherry Blossom (Victor Sanchez), Blood Moon (Tevin Foster), and Gelroy (Oneil Mullings).
Awesome Line maintained her gallop well, staying with runners for the first for the part of the race before drawing off crossing the dummy rails. Awesome Line then printed home ahead of Blood Moon and Radam (Reyan Lewis).
