After an action-packed stretch run in his first start in North America, a second in last weekend’s Stephen Foster Handicap (G1) at Churchill Downs, Asiatic Boy has been reported as one of the possible starters in the $400,000 Suburban Handicap (G2) on July 4.

Macho Again won the Stephen Foster with a late wide move around the far turn. Asiatic Boy just edged favored Einstein for second and remains in the training care of Kiaran McLaughlin, whose main stable is based at Belmont Park, home of the Suburban. The American older horse division lacks a definitive leader and Asiatic Boy’s presence adds intrigue to the muddled picture. Nominations for the race are due in the next week.
