Stall targeting another Super Derby win

Trainer Al Stall will attempt to win the Super Derby for an unprecedented fourth time next month when he saddles Rescind in the richest race at Louisiana Downs.

The Grade 3, $300,000 Super Derby is Sept. 7.

Rescind put himself in the 1 1/16-mile race when he won a first-level allowance at Louisiana Downs with a career-high Beyer Speed Figure of 76 on Aug. 12. The score came following a local maiden special weight win. Both races were at two turns on turf, the grass becoming an option after desired main-track races did not fill for Rescind.

“We’re going to run him in the Super Derby,” Stall said Saturday. “His father was second in the Super Derby, and his half-brother won the Super Derby. He’s got a pedigree to run well in that race.”

Rescind is by Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Blame, who in 2009 was second to Regal Ransom in the Super Derby. Rescind’s half-brother, Apart, won the Super Derby in 2010 and also captured the local Prelude.

Stall trained both horses. Rescind’s breeder and owner, Adele Dilschneider, also bred and raced Apart and was co-breeder and co-owner on Blame.

Rescind has made three starts, running third in a maiden special weight route in his debut last September at Louisiana Downs. This season, he is 2 for 2, with both wins over older rivals. Rescind is out of the Unbridled mare Detatch.

“He’s a big, strong horse,” Stall said. “I’ve had a few out of that mare, and you just kind of have to wait on them.”

Stall has a division at Louisiana Downs, and that has been the home base for Rescind.

“He works really well on the dirt,” Stall said. “That’s gives us a little confidence, also.”

Stall is the winningest Super Derby trainer, with three victories in the race. His other winners are My Pal Charlie in 2008 and Departing in 2013.
