Louisiana Downs This Week

I will recap the first three days of the Louisiana Downs meet, and I’ll preview the May 22nd card. Friday (May 15th) A pair of wire jobs in the three flat mile turf races carded. Turf rails were down. Pressers fared best in main track sprints, and stalkers/closers performed well in the two route races. Black Giraffe (race 5) failed to take advantage of rail draw under apprentice rider Anna Roberts. She ended up a better than appears wide 5th and is worth following.
