Untrapped targets Razorback Handicap
RACE REPLAY IS NOT AVAILABLE
HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – Untrapped, winner of last year’s Oklahoma Derby, is being pointed to the Grade 3, $500,000 Razorback Handicap, trainer Steve Asmussen said.
The race will share a card with the Grade 3, $500,000 Southwest Stakes on Feb. 19 at Oaklawn.
Untrapped won the Grade 3, $400,000 Oklahoma Derby in September, and in his most recent start was a close fourth in the $125,000 Fifth Season on Jan. 12 at Oaklawn.
The Fifth Season was Untrapped’s first start against older horses. Last year, Untrapped ran second or third in five graded races for 3-year-olds leading up to the Oklahoma Derby. He races for Mike Langford, who is a resident of Arkansas.
Untrapped, an earner of $652,005, will attempt to give Asmussen his second straight win in the Razorback. Last meet, he captured the race with eventual Horse of the Year Gun Runner.
