Dortmund, the 2015 Santa Anita Derby winner last seen April 1 in the Santana Mile, has been nominated to the Grade I, $300,000 “Win and You’re In’ Awesome Again Stakes and “we’re leaning towards running,” trainer Art Sherman said by phone Thursday morning from his Los Alamitos headquarters.
“We’ll play it by ear and nothing’s definite, but we’re leaning on going,” Sherman said.
Dortmund has raced twice for Sherman since being transferred by owner Kaleem Shah from Bob Baffert’s barn, finishing sixth when he made his turf debut in the Grade I Kilroe Mile last March 11 and fourth in the Santana Mile on dirt.
Dortmund, an oversized chestnut son of 2008 Kentucky Derby winner Big Brown, has eight wins from 16 career starts with earnings of $1,987,505.
Also probable for the Awesome Again are Accelerate, Breaking Lucky, Cupid, Curlin Rules, Donworth, Midnight Storm and Win the Space.
