Magical Season (Value Plus) completed a $33.20 exacta by Stonewall Farm stallions when he finished second behind Mr. Prankster (It's No Joke) in the $50,000 Turfway Prevue Stakes at Turfway Park on Jan. 7. The 3-year-old gelding came from out of the clouds under Victor Lebron to post his second stakes-placing of the season.
It was just the sixth career start for the Kentucky-bred gelding, who was sent off at 11-1 and collected $9,300 for the effort. On Oct. 8, Magical Season finished second by half a length in the Laurel Futurity on the grass at Laurel Park. To add to the irony, Magical Season and Mr. Prankster are both trained by Michael Maker.
