Awesome Gem Odds Breeders Cup 2009: The Breeders Cup 2009 Betting Odds makers at Sportsbook.com have Awesome Gem at 30-1 odds to win the Breeders’ Cup Classic. The local boy will try to make good when Craig Dollase sends out the 6yo gelding in the Breeders' Cup Classic Saturday at Santa Anita.
“I was an Arcadia Apache,” said Dollase Thursday from Barn 7 as he spoke about his scholastic days at Arcadia High School a few furlongs away. The trainer made headlines when he became the youngest trainer to win a Breeders' Cup race at 27 with Reraise in the 1998 Sprint at Churchill Downs, a record that still stands.

David Flores, aboard Awesome Gem recently as winning jockey: "We were in good position after the first turn. I was pretty much looking for the right spot, and he was taking me there pretty easily. At the top of the stretch, I tapped him left handed and he just went on really nice."
