Saturday’s $400,000 Risen Star Stakes (G2), presented by Lamarque Ford, at the Fair Grounds drew a talent-packed field of 10, which isn’t much of a surprise since it’s the first North American Kentucky Derby (G1) prep race this year.
This will be Super Stock’s first start against older horses and in a non-age-restricted race in his career. He has been training at Oaklawn Park all winter with the rest of Asmussen’s Arkansas string.
