2nd-Indiana Grand, $34,000, Msw, 9-20, 2yo, f, 5 1/2f, 1:04.86, sy, 3 1/4 lengths.
AWESOMELY SHY (f, 2, Gormley–Awesome Story, by Awesome Again) was pegged at morning-line odds of 9-2, but was completely friendless in the market and was off at 12.50-1 for a high-percentage outfit based south and east at Belterra Park. Straightened out after breaking a bit to her right, the homebred cut out a decent pace on the front end, increased her advantage in upper stretch and was punched out to best even-money Abuela's Humor (Distorted Humor) by 3 1/4 lengths. The 10th winner for her freshman sire (by Malibu Moon), Awesomely Shy is out of a winning daughter of MSW Drexel Monorail (Glitterman), herself a full-sister to the useful MGSW sprinter Champali. Awesome Story foaled a full-sister to the winner this year and was bred back to Cloud Computing. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $20,400. Click for the Equibase.com chart.
