Lone Star Park Renews "Million Day" on Memorial Day

Lone Star Park is hosting Million Day on Monday. The day's six stakes races offer $1.2 million in prize money. Jockeys and trainers from all over the country are coming to the event. Steve Asmussen is one of the most successful trainers in the sport. The original vision of Lone Star was to host a Memorial Day race. It was in this way that the great Skip Away came to Texas in 1997. He finished third in a race won by Isitingood. His trainer Bob Baffert won the race that year. In the same year, Skip away was named the champion older male.
