Around the track
Just a few more days of racing before the meet is over, but not before a great day of racing next Saturday with the Louisiana Derby and the Fair Grounds Oaks. Coach Brad Cox has a strong hand, winning all three Louisiana Derby prep races with three different horses. Jaces Road, Instant Coffee and Angel of Empire won the Gun Runner, Lecomte and Risen Star so it will be interesting to see who makes it to the starting gate. Trainer Tom Amoss reports that everything is going well for his filly, Hoosier Philly, who is likely to come off as a heavy favorite to win the Oaks.
best bid
Our best bet today will be in race 9 – Lilrascalman who should get a good price for a horse that has done well at this meeting at this level.
Good luck and may you all get home safe.
