Awesome Gem's First Grade 1
It took Awesome Gem USA (Awesome Again USA) 36 starts to win a Grade 1 at seven years.
He beat defending champion Rail Trip USA (Jump Start USA) in the $500,000 Hollywood Gold Cup, 1-1/4m.
Rail Trip had won the two 9f Hollywood Park prep races and was favourite.
AG's jockey David Flores said his horse was behind in traffic until he found an opening. "That was the most beautiful thing, when you have a horse that can accelerate like that at any time."
