Raging Bull goes back into the ring for G1 Fourstardave
At 0h44, on August 14, 2021 • By SARATOGA
Peter Brant’s Raging Bull will be out for redemption against an all-graded stakes winning field for Saturday’s 37th running of the Grade 1, $500,000 Fourstardave for 4-year-olds and upward going one mile over the inner turf at Saratoga Race Course.
Raging Bull, who finished second in 2019 and fifth a year ago, will look to give trainer Chad Brown his first win in the Fourstardave, a “Win And You’re In” event offering an automatic entry into the Grade 1, $2 million Breeders’ Cup Mile on November 6 at Del Mar.
Raging Bull, a three-time Grade 1-winner with earnings in excess of $1.5 million, secured his top-flight triumphs over three different ovals. At three, he shipped to Southern California to capture the Grade 1 Hollywood Derby at Del Mar after earning graded stakes triumphs at the Spa in the Grade 2 National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame and the Grade 3 Saranac. The French-bred 6-year-old son of Dark Angel commenced his last two seasons in Grade 1-winning fashion with victories in the Shoemaker Mile in May 2020 at Santa Anita and the Makers’ Mark Mile on April 9 at Keeneland.
Jockey Irad Ortiz, Jr. retains the mount from post 1.
