About
Lagynos is a 5yo colt from the United States trained by Steven M. Asmussen. He is by the stallion Kantharos out of the mare Steamy. To date, Lagynos has captured ten victories. On 28 Jun 2026 at Churchill Downs, he earned his biggest triumph, winning the $500,000 Wise Dan Stakes. The horse has been a money‑maker for bettors; a lifelong backer would have enjoyed a 32% return on investment.
