Awesome Again (born March 29, 1994) is a Canadian Hall of Fame Thoroughbred racehorse. Owned and bred by Frank Stronach of Newmarket, Ontario, Awesome Again was sired by Deputy Minister and out of the 2000 Broodmare of the Year Primal Force.
At age 3, Awesome Again ran in the United States and in Canada, where he won that country's most prestigious race, the Queen's Plate. At Saratoga Race Course, he won the Jim Dandy Stakes, then finished third in the Travers Stakes. His 1997 racing season ended after he suffered a back injury while finishing fifth in the Super Derby.
In 1998, Awesome Again went undefeated. He won all six races he entered, in the process defeating Champions Silver Charm and Skip Away. He came from far back to win over one of the best-ever fields assembled in the Breeders' Cup Classic.
