About
Lagynos, a 5yo chestnut foaled in the United States and trained by Steven M. Asmussen, is by the stallion Kantharos out of the mare Steamy. He has recorded five career wins, with his most notable triumph coming on 29 Aug 2025 at Kentucky Downs, where he captured the $500,000 Keeneland Sales Tapit Stakes. Punters have found him rewarding, as backing him over his career would have yielded an 11% return on investment.
