About
Colonial Downs R6 Race 6 Cugino is a 5yo bay horse from the United States trained by Claude R. McGaughey III. He is by Twirling Candy out of Adorable Miss. To date Cugino has recorded six victories, including a standout win on 2 Jun 2024 at Churchill Downs in the $275,000 Audubon Stakes. The horse has been a profitable option for bettors; a lifelong backer would have earned a 4% return on investment.
