Is Revolutionary ripe for an upset in the Louisiana Derby?Read More
I can see this one making some noise in the LA Derby. IMO, best of the underdogs.
WinStar Farm’s Revolutionary has been installed as the lukewarm 3-1 morning line favorite in the 100th anniversary edition of the $1 million Louisiana Derby at Fair Grounds on Saturday. Read More

  • patrick.l.mccaslin · There is a lot of people that like departing in the LA Derby. I know he is undefeated and obviously loves the Fairgrounds race track. He did race 1-1/16 in a 7 horse field at Fairgrounds and won easily. But against what competition. And fractions usally tell all. In the 1-1/16 mile race the fractions were as follows. 1/4 was 24.90 half was 49.76 115.14 140.32 finish was 144.34. The finish time was ok but the rest was slow to say the least. Look at the others at 1- 1/16 and these aren't close. I know he didn't set the pace and was just off as he always is. But if there is anything that is going to affect Departing it will be the pace of the race. If he can handle a actual fast pace then he stands a chance of winning. But he hasn't seen one yet. Good luck to all on Saturdays Races! · 56 days ago ·

  • travel_vic · Early horse on an well known EARLY track........IF this one can reproduce that effort anywhere close (and against an honest, realisitic pace) then the giant might be something to consider. These three year olds sometimes get good quick as Paytner did last year. · 79 days ago ·

Think of Derby Season as a meal. We just finished a very long round of appetizers, namely, all those prep races or 10-point getting races. Last weekend we moved into the second course of this meal, the 50-point getting races. Read More

Both Derby preps on tap Saturday, The Fountain Of Youth and Risen Star Stakes are similar in that the Morning Line favorites, Violence and Normandy Invasion make their 3-year-old debut, and are expected to win. If you wager on them to WIN, you may regret that descision. Read More

Looks like he relished both the distance and the new surface. I'll have to give him another look for tomorrow's FOY. · 91 days ago ·
