The Short but Exemplary Career of Super Saver – A Todd Pletcher Contender

Super Saver provided Calvin Borel his most memorable win in the year 2010 when he ran to victory after a rail hugging chase to the wire, a style very reminiscent of the Borel riding. Super Saver added another feather to the winning streak and the 1000 wins at the Churchill Downs bringing his rider Calvin Borel the title of the ‘Head Waiter of the American Turfs’ and also making a mark before surrendering to retirement owning inflammations in the cannon bones on all limbs. rnSuper Saver retired with a solid record of winning the 1 1/16 miles on the Churchill Downs in 1:43.83, a record previously held by the 1:43.14 performer Captain Steve. Born to sire Maria’s Mon, Super Saver has the genes from the masters of the game like Secreteriat and Seattle Slew to start with. The incredible racing prospects of this foal were soon discovered as he won the two year old Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes, a grade two event, in record time abroad the record cracking jockey Calvin Borel. rnThe most significant of the few races Super Saver ran in his considerably short racing career, was his outstanding 2000 Kentucky Derby. Trained by Todd Pletcher, the win at the first Triple Crown leg was an end to a long thriving drought. rnThe derby day that year was soaked in rains and the Churchill Downs had now transformed into a sloppy track. However during the pre-race parade and the event, the sun shone high in the sky, adding bursts of energy to the Borel-Saver performance. Borel stuck to his ground saving strategy where Super Saver sticking to the rails for most parts of the rce distance overtook the Conveyance and Sidney’s Candy. He was now stalking the pace setters. Ice Back, who chased Super till the end closed runner up with Paddy o’ Prado a mere neck behind him finishing third. rnSuper Saver paid $18 to its bettors after having won the race by 2 ½ lengths. He was an instant favourite for the Preakness but disappointingly Super Saver succumbed to a humble eight finish followed by a fourth finish at the Haskell Invitational post which he was retired. Super Saver now stands stud at the WinStar farm.
