Since then, Asmussen scored victories with Kodiak Kowboy (2007), Kantharos (2010), Cinco Charlie (2014), Sir Truebadour (2018), Cazadero (2020) and Gulfport (2022).Like Spiralizer, this year’s Bashford Manor field also includes local maiden special weight winners Conquering Cat, Enduring Spirit, Politicallycorrect and Vinegar Hill.One of the horses entered in the Bashford Manor scheduled to ship from outside the Commonwealth is Griffin Stables, Terry Lovingier and Paul Sabesky’s California-bred Bodacious.Trained by Jorge Periban, who won the 2019 Bashford Manor with Phantom Boss, Bodacious dominated six rivals by 5 ¾ lengths on debut at Santa Anita.
