Jose Corrales, the trainer of Something Awesome, winner of the $1.2 million Charles Town Classic, said if his horse comes out of the race well, he will be pointed to the $300,000 Pimlcio Special on May 18.

Something Awesome, who was bred and is owned by Corrales' longtime clients Frank and Andy Stronach, is a 58-year-old native of Panama, who has worked in racing since he was 14.

Corrales began as a jockey at age 16, He was training in Ohio in 2011 when the Stronachs sent him to Maryland with a string of horses. He said he has always wanted to develop a good horse for them, and Something Awesome, who has improved dramatically since being sent to Corrales last fall and being switched from Tapeta at Woodbine to dirt, is that horse.

Something Awesome, a 7-year-old son of Awesome Again, is now five for six for Corrales.
