Mud Frolic
When the rain poured down 90 minutes before post time turning Hawthorne’s track into a muddy mess, trainer Vladimir Cerin worried that Super Frolic wouldn’t like the going. He was wrong: Super Frolic dug into the slop and won Saturday’s Hawthorne Gold Cup by a head over Lord of the Game (Los Angeles Times). “I thought this horse might run big,” said jockey Victor Espinoza. “He ran huge against better horses in the Pacific Classic.” Favorite Perfect Drift finished fourth.
