Game On Dude racing early in a perfect stalking position right off of Winning Machine, went by the long shot frontrunner with ease at the top of the stretch and then held off Nonios inside the final furlong to win the Grade 1 Awesome Again Stakes by three lengths at the wire. Richard's Kid ran on well to grab the third spot while Rail Trip finished fourth.
The victory in the Aweseom Again is Game On Dude's second win in a Grade 1 race in 2012 following wins in the G1-Hollywood Gold Cup on July 7th.
