Super Saver’s second maiden special weight winner of the day came at Remington Park when Super Stroke pulled clear in the final furlong to register a 1 ¾-length going six furlongs (VIDEO). Super Stroke was bred in Kentucky by Casner Racing, LP. The Kentucky-bred colt is out of Cowtown Kitty, who is a half-sister to Illinois Derby (G2) winner Cowtown Cat.
