I just looked at the history for the Hawthorne Gold Cup Handicap -- the race Awesome Again used as a final prep for his Breeders Cup Classic win instead of the Goodwood.
The Hall of Famer Sun Beau is the only horse to win that race 3 straight times.
A lot of great names have won the Hawthorne Gold Cup Handicap:
Sun Beau, Equipoise, Discovery, Challedon, Round Table, Kelso, Dr. Fager, Awesome Again ... and of course, Perfect Drift.
