Super Stock, a Grade 1 winner who ran in the 2021 Kentucky Derby, has been retired from racing and will enter stud at Leadem Farm in Leola, Ark., for the 2024 breeding season.
The 5-year-old son of Dialed In finished his career with four wins in 20 career starts, earning $1,279,077 for owners Erv Woodley and Keith Asmussen, and trainer Steve Asmussen.
Super Stock broke his maiden in his third career start as a 2-year-old, graduating in the Texas Thoroughbred Futurity at Lone Star Park. He then graduated to graded stakes competition, finishing his juvenile season with third-place efforts in the Grade 3 Iroquois Stakes and the G1 Breeders' Futurity, and a runner-up finish in the listed Street Sense Overnight Stakes.
The spring of his 3-year-old season was spent at Oaklawn Park, where he became a division leader following a 2 1/2-length victory in the G1 Arkansas Derby. That win earned Super Stock a spot in the Kentucky Derby, where he finished 16th.
The second half of Super Stock's sophomore season saw him earn victories in the listed Ellis Park Derby and Zia Park Derby, along with a third in the G3 Oklahoma Derby.
Bred in Kentucky by Pedro and P.J. Gonzalez, Super Stock is out of the winning Closing Argument mare Super Girlie, who is also the dam of Grade 1-placed Boujie Girl.
