Happy Saturday and Christmas Eve eve! To celebrate another day of racing, lets not get cute there is racing every day, we are headed to the bayou of New Orleans and playing the ponies from Fairgrounds Race Course. Today is a big day at the track as our next derby prep race will award 10-5-3-2-1 points to the top horses in our featured race, race 12, the Gun Runner Stakes. Not to be outdone, the Derby Oaks prep series rolls on as well. In Race 9 we have the Untapable stakes where 10-5-3-2-1 points will be awarded for a chance to start in the Kentucky Oaks. This is yet another chance to see the stars of the future in horse racing as these races are only for 2 year olds and will help one or more horses make the starting gate the first weekend in May. If you thought this was the end of the line for Fairgrounds prep races, you are sorely mistaken as we have a win and in race coming your way in late March. Make sure you stay with us the entire road to the Kentucky Derby, and the Oaks, as we will preview all prep races and of course all three rounds of the Triple Crown!!!
Today's card has 12 races, 7 stakes races, and lottsa runners! The weather seems to be cooperating as we will see highs in the low 70s with cloudy skies. There is only a slight chance of rain late in the card so might need to check those tickets before you hit submit. The track is fast and turf is firm so we are in for another great day of racing.
