Student Council (foaled in May 2002) is a millionaire American Thoroughbred racehorse and successful stallion, he is the son of Kingmambo sire of over 80 stakes winners.
Bred in Kentucky by William S. Farish III and raced under the Millennium Farms banner for his owner, Ro Parra.
In his final race of the year, he reeled off another allowance win in November at Turfway Park at a mile in 1:37.62 on the all-weather track.
[2] At age five, Student Council started the year with a second-place finish in the $150,000 grade three Razorback Handicap at Oaklawn Park.
Student Council raced again in March and won the $100,000 Maxxam Gold Cup Handicap at Sam Houston Park at nine furlongs by 3+1⁄4 lengths.
Under jockey Richard Migliore, he beat Awesome Gem and Hello Sunday as well as favorite Lava Man at a mile and a quarter in 2:07.29.
His owner Ro Parra said the horse struggled to recover from an eighth-place finish in the Japan Cup Dirt on November 24 at Nakayama racecourse.
The victory was especially significant for owner Ro Parra because he grew up in Lexington Park, Maryland, and attended, by his estimate, at least 15 editions of the Preakness.
Down the lane, Student Council gradually reeled in Gottcha Gold, beating him by a neck in 1:54.8 on a muddy track.
