ASMUSSEN'S STREAK
Asmussen entered Saturday having at least one Oaklawn winner during the past nine racing days, a streak that dates to the last day of the 2020 meet. During that span, Asmussen had 16 winners. Dating to April 19, Asmussen's only winless day at Oaklawn was May 1 -- the penultimate day of the 57-day meeting. He has amassed 23 victories over that period of 16 racing days.
Asmussen had six horses entered Saturday at Oaklawn.
Asmussen, who has 711 career Oaklawn victories, became only the second trainer in history to reach 700 victories at Oaklawn when he recorded a triple Jan. 23. The late Bob Holthus, a nine-time Oaklawn training champion, won more than 850 races in Hot Springs.
Asmussen is seeking his record-tying 11th Oaklawn training title after winning the crown in 2007, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019..
