Santa Anita H. Recap

Game On Dude entered into the record book when he became the fourth horse to win two runnings of the Santa Anita Handicap (gr. I). The same goes for Game On Dude’s breeder, Frank Stronach, who raced one of the other two-time winners, Milwaukee Brew, in the name Stronach Stables. The other two to pull off a double in the Big ’Cap were John Henry (1981-82) and Lava Man (2006-07).

Stronach bred Game On Dude out of the stakes-winning Devil His Due mare Worldly Pleasure.

Worldly Pleasure was a solid race mare. Bred in Maryland by Robert L. Ingram, Worldly Pleasure carved out a record of 8-4-4 from 31 races and earnings of $183,095. She won the restricted Politely Stakes at Laurel Park and ran third in the Summer King Stakes at Delaware Park, both for owner John V. Alecci.

Worldly Pleasure, who last raced for Barry R. Ostrager, found her way into Stronach’s broodmare band following her retirement from racing. Her first foal was West Spirit, a Smart Strike colt who was a winner in Russia, and her next was Game On Dude.

Worldly Pleasure produced one more foal for Stronach before he sold her at the 2009 Keeneland November breeding stock sale. Consigned by Adena Springs in foal to Adena stallion Macho Uno, Worldly Pleasure was bought for $15,000 by K.O.I.D. Co. and sent to Korea.

Game On Dude, whose first Santa Anita Handicap win came in 2011 under 115 pounds in 1:59.47, carried high weight of 125 pounds in this year’s running on his way to a 73/4-length score as the 6-5 favorite in 2:00.14. Game On Dude races for Joe Torre’s Diamond Pride, Lanni Family Trust, Bernie Schiappa, and Ernie Moody’s Mercedes Stable. Mercedes, in partnership with owner/breeder Madeleine Paulson, won the 2005 Santa Anita Handicap with Rock Hard Ten.

Awesome Again has sired 50 stakes winners including additional 2013 added-money winners Golden Mystery (gr. III) and Oxbow (gr. III). Awesome Again stands for $75,000 at Adena Springs near Paris, Ky.—D.S.
