Fair Grounds: Ive Struck a Nerve scores $272 Risen Star stunner; Code West second
By Marty McGee
Ive Struck a Nerve pulled a stunning 135-1 upset Saturday when outnodding Code West in a wild four-horse charge to the wire in the 40th running of the Grade 2, $400,000 Risen Star Stakes at Fair Grounds in New Orleans.
With Jimmy Graham riding for Big Chief Racing LLC and trainer Keith Desormeaux, Ive Struck a Nerve returned a whopping $272.40 after finishing the 1 1/16-mile race in 1:44.52 while farthest out onto the track. Code West, a 6-1 shot, was beaten just a few inches when finishing closest to the rail and was just a bit ahead of Palace Malice (5-1) and Oxbow (4-1) in third and fourth, respectively.
Desormeaux is the older brother of Hall of Fame jockey Kent Desormeaux.
Normandy Invasion, the 3-2 favorite, was not a factor after breaking awkwardly.
The $2 exacta (8-2) paid $2,295; the $1 trifecta (8-2-6) returned $8,893.80; and the 10-cent superfecta (8-2-6-10) was worth $3,533.12.
Ive Struck a Nerve earned 50 points in the new eligibility system being used by Churchill Downs for making the field for the May 4 Kentucky Derby.
