A son of Superbity, Super Abound was owned by Frances Genter and trained by Carl Nafzger, who also were the connections of 1990 Kentucky Derby winner Unbridled. The first Minnesota bred to win a graded stakes race was Super Abound. The highest level is Grade 1, followed by Grade 2, and then Grade 3 and the Minnesota breds have won at nearly every level.ġ990 was a banner year for Minnesota bred horses winning at the national level.
A graded stakes race is a stakes race of the highest quality in both prize money and strength of the competition. In the history of horse racing and breeding, only four horses bred in the state of Minnesota have ever won a graded stakes race.
