    Grade Ii Louisiana Derby Jumps to $750000

    GRADE II LOUISIANA DERBY JUMPS TO $750,000 AND WILL BE RUN AT 1 1/8 MILES ON MARCH 27 BIG EVENT SCHEDULE CHANGES & TWO NEW RACES FOR FILLIES & MARES HIGHLIGHT FAIR GROUNDS’ RECORD $7.24 MILLION, 66-RACE STAKES MENU NEW ORLEANS, LA (Tuesday, Aug. 11, 2009) – Fair Grounds Race Course and Slots has raised the purse of the Grade II Louisiana Derby to $750,000, increased the distance to 1 1/8 miles and moved the 3-year-old fixture to Saturday, March 27 – five weeks prior to the Kentucky Derby. The significant changes to its signature race and accompanying races, as well as the addition of two new dirt races for fillies and mares, highlight a record $7.24 million, 66-race stakes schedule for the 2009-2010 Fair Grounds meet. The 85-day Fair Grounds meet will have its earliest start date ever when the historic New Orleans racetrack opens on Friday, Nov. 6, a week earlier than last year and well ahead of the old Thanksgiving Day opener of years past. Closing day for the action-packed 21-week season will be Sunday, March 28. In recent years, the Louisiana Derby, which produced Kentucky Derby winners Black Gold (1924) and Grindstone (1996), had been a $600,000 race over 1 1/16 miles and was carded seven weeks prior to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands. The momentous switch of the 97th Louisiana Derby to closing weekend, along with moving the Grade II, $400,000 Fair Grounds Oaks to headline a stakes quartet for fillies and mares on Friday, March 26, has altered both series of races.

    Gun Runner Draws Ten in Pegasus (Cont

    THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 2018 GUN RUNNER DRAWS SIRES WITH FIRST RUNNERS IN 2018: WHERE'S THE VALUE? by Chris McGrath TEN IN PEGASUS This is Part II of a three-part series exploring Kentucky sires that offer the best value. To read Part I, click here. It's hard to know quite what Cairo Prince (Pioneerof The Nile) (Airdrie, $25,000) must do to live up to his phenomenal sales debut: very few sires get two fee hikes before they have had a runner. He caught a rising tide in sharing a sire with American Pharoah and Classic Empire, and then blew everyone away with his physicals. Things have gone so dreamily so far that he is nearly on a hiding to nothing, but if enough of them can run then even his revised fee could easily hold up. Having started with the highest fee of his intake, Will Take Charge (Unbridled's Song) (Three Chimneys, $30,000) punched his weight impressively with his first weanlings and his yearlings followed through to put him top of the averages, at $169,190. He represents a pretty obvious package, and soaked up a lot more action than some of his sire's other sons.
