Something Special Rallies to Win Pimlico Special

May 18— Edgar Prado was in no hurry rushing Something Awesome from the gate in the $300,000 Pimlico Special. The talented seven-year-old by Awesome Again remained far back as Irish Way Cry and Jose Ortiz led the field through the early stages.

A hop from the finish, Irish War Cry was two lengths in front of Hedge Fund and far in front of the rest of the field. It was only at this point that Prado got to work on Something Awesome, pushing him forward past Hedge Fund and finally to even terms with Irish War Cry. The final margin was three-quarters of a length.

Irish War Cry held off Hedge Fund by a half length.
