Super Saver holds the stakes record for the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes, by finishing a 11⁄16 on a fast main track in 1:42.83, eclipsing the stakes record of 1:43.14 established by Captain Steve in 1999.
Super Saver provided the third Derby win in a four-year period for jockey Calvin Borel, and the first win out of 25 entries for trainer Todd Pletcher.
Super Saver went off as 5:2 morning line favorite for the 2010 Preakness Stakes but finished eighth.
He then had another poor showing in the Haskell Invitational, and underwent a full veterinary exam, which showed that the colt had bruising and inflammation in all four of his cannon bones.
Stud career
Super Saver was retired from racing in October, 2010 and began his stud career at WinStar Farm in Versailles, Kentucky for the 2011 breeding season.[1] That year, he shuttled to stand stud in Australia for the Southern Hemisphere breeding season. In 2017, he shuttled to Argentina.[2] In 2019, Super Saver was acquired by the Turkish Jockey Club to stand stud in Turkey starting 2020.[3]
