  • 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.

  • Heart Leads Redvers to Sea the Stars Colt
    WEDNESDAY, 23 OCTOBER 2019 SMULLEN: PROMOTION OF THE SPORT IS KEY HEART LEADS REDVERS TO By Pat Smullen SEA THE STARS COLT Oisin Murphy didn't end up with a big winner on Saturday but he's had a big year and that is the important thing. On Saturday I was thinking back to the work rate he has put in this year. He has ridden all over, travelling by plane, by helicopter, however he could get there to ride horses at two different meetings in a day, wherever they may be. His work ethic is something that needs to be applauded--that's what you need to do to be champion jockey. Oisin is not only an excellent rider but he is great for the game. He promotes our industry extremely well and I hope he does so for many years to come. I must admit, earlier in the year I was hoping that Danny Tudhope would be able to pull it off as the work that Danny has to put in to maintain his weight is phenomenal, and nobody sees that behind the scenes, but it wasn't to be.

    Follow Racing “Down the Stretch” on SiriusXM Radio By NYTBDF Executive Director Tracy Egan New York breeders and fans of New York racing will hear something new on tomorrow’s SiriusXM “Down the Stretch” broadcast with hosts Bill Finley and Dave Johnson: promotions for the NY-bred program and the announcement of this month’s NY-Bred of the Month. The show airs each Saturday morning on satellite radio from ten a.m. to noon. If you’re still in your car for the 5:05 post time of the Grade III Gotham for three- year-olds, follow the race when Finley and Johnson return to cover the action at Aqueduct. SiriusXM subscribers can listen on Sirius 93 and XM 209 or online at www.siriusxm.com. The $400,000 Gotham is often a stepping stone to the Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday in May. Show producer Ed Pappas explains the coverage, saying “The Gotham has never before been a part of our Road to the Derby package, but when you get a $400,000 purse and a great field that includes the 2-year-old champion, it’s a race you have to include.” Down the Stretch will return to Aqueduct Racetrack on April 7 for the Grade-1 $1 million Resorts World Casino New York City Wood Memorial. NYRA NOTES • Romans looks for more surprises in 2012 with Suns Out Guns Out, Finnegans Wake • Grove, second in 2011 Gotham with Norman Asbjornson, hopes to go one better with Pretension • Tiger Walk seeks “good spot” from post 13 in Gotham • Napravnik returning to New York in April • Stay Thirsty gearing up for comeback breeze at Palm Meadows, eyes major New York races in second half of year OZONE PARK, N.Y.
