0-for-54
That's Steve Asmussen's record in stakes races run on a synthetic track going back to his last such synthetic stakes win on September 27th of 2008 when Zanjero beat Extreme Supreme at Turfway Park.
Included among it is Curlin's 4th place finish in the BC Classic behind two Euro 3yo's and Tiago. The streak doesn't include Pyro's memorable disaster in the Blue Grass after Frank Lyons conceded the race to him in the post parade.
Keeneland's coming up - so Asmussen has a chance to maybe pad this stat a little. If only he got better stock to train.
