Five-time Eclipse Award-winning trainer Todd Pletcher’s trio of successful invaders – WinStar Farm’s $1 million Louisiana Derby winner Revolutionary, Repole Stable’s $500,000 Fair Grounds Oaks heroine Unlimited Budget and Twin Creeks Racing Stables’ $400,000 New Orleans Handicap hero Graydar – all l...Read More
Irish-bred Amira’s Prince moved to the lead around the first turn and never looked back, winning Saturday’s $400,000 Mervin H. Muniz Memorial Handicap (GII) by a half-lenth over the Stall-Wilson Turf Course at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots.Read More

  • illhaveanothertriplecrown · Pretty good roster, I really like Hero of Order, Bourbon Courage and Nehro. I also think Mark Valeski and Macho Macho are pretty solid as well. Good for all of you that have an opportunity to go down to Fairgrounds and see these horses live. If only we had horses like this up here. · 112 days ago ·

Yesterday, in the Colonel E.R. Bradley Handicap at Fair Grounds, the Optimizer Bunny notched his second stakes win on turf with an emphatic 3 ½ length score over String King. Under his most familiar rider, Jon Court, Optimizer spurted right out to the early lead with a strong first quarter, and then...Read More

  • goblin · He certainly has been mismanaged, but recently seems to be on the right track (literally as well as figuratively). Maybe Lukas is ready to leave this horse on the turf and allow him to begin to thrive where he does best. · 115 days ago ·

Owner-trainer-breeder Charlie Smith was his usual smiling self at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots on Sunday morning before heading back to his Haughton, La., home base. That was understandable, because late Saturday afternoon String King – a horse he owns, trains and bred in Louisiana – proved hims...Read More
A week ago Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas won Fair Grounds’ Grade III Lecomte Stakes with Bluegrass Hall’s Oxbow with jockey Jon Court in the irons. Saturday it was a different week and a different horse – Bluegrass Hall’s Optimizer – who won Fair Grounds’ Grade III Col. E. R. Bradley Handicap ...Read More
Trainer Pat Dupuy still believes in his horse, even though the bay gelding officially became a 9-year-old on New Year’s Day. Read More
Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas, who successfully shipped Bluegrass Hall’s Oxbow to New Orleans last week to win the Grade III Lecomte Stakes at the local oval, has another horse who is favored at 7-2 in the morning line to keep the trainer’s stakes streak intact when Bluegrass Hall’s Optimizer ...Read More

Rebecca Farms and T. J. Dickey’s Heavy On Themister, whose gutsy hard-fought effort throughout the stretch run of Saturday’s $150,000 Louisiana Champions Day Classic at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots resulted in a one-length victory, returned from that effort without incident and was doing well du...Read More

Allowed to settle just off the early pace, Maggi Moss’s Delaunay took command in upper stretch and drew off for a 2 1/2-length tally in the 87th running of Fair Grounds’ $100,000 Thanksgiving Handicap – the New Orleans oval’s tradition-rich annual Opening Day highlight, giving nine-time Fair Grounds...Read More
Brittlyn Stable’s Gantry’s nose victory in last year’s running of Fair Grounds’ $100,000 Thanksgiving Handicap – the New Orleans oval’s tradition-rich annual opening day highlight – came as somewhat of a surprise to the festive fans on hand for the holiday program, but the Ron Faucheux-trained son o...Read More

Larry Johnson’s Old Bushmill, void of early foot, launched a bold bid outside rivals when set down for the drive and was up in the late stages to best Red Oak Stable’s front-running Kissimmee Kyle by a half-length at the wire in Saturday’s $60,000 Dixie Poker Ace Stakes over Fair Grounds’ Stall-Wils...Read More
Charlie Smith’s String King gave his owner his first career victory as a trainer in Fair Grounds’ $100,000 Louisiana Champions Day Turf three weeks ago, but does the owner-trainer who also bred the 4-year-old gelding think a second String King win is likely this weekend in New Orleans?
