Lone Star Park at Grand Prairie brings back live thoroughbred racing on Thursday as it celebrates the start of the 2008 spring season with a tribute to hometown hero, trainer Steve Asmussen.
A fixture at Lone Star Park and at the top of the national trainer standings, Asmussen will sign free autographs from 5-6 p.m. and Lone Star Park attendees will receive a one-of-a-kind, hand-painted Asmussen bobblehead keepsake (one per person with paid admission, while supplies last).
Asmussen returns to Texas from the $6 million Dubai World Cup where the Asmussen-trained Curlin won the world's richest race and the $3.6 million first-place prize.
