In his first 10 career starts, Great Knowledge posted a mediocre record of 1-1-1. But the 4-year-old gelding has turned it all around this year, going 3-7-1 in 12 starts and adding $52,960 to his bank account, which now totals $73,525.

Great Knowledge won his latest at six furlongs over a sloppy track on Dec. 7. He made a powerful move approaching the half-mile pole, took a three-length lead into the lane, opened it to nine in mid-stretch, and coasted home by 6 3/4. The Florida-bred son of Greatness went off at odds of 1/2 as he brought his overall record to 4-8-2 in 22 tries.
