Race 1
#4 Never Really Know
Runner up at
Saratoga last season finished fifth but was only a length out of second when
needing a race off a six-month layoff here at Fair Grounds. Ready
for improvement in this second start off the layoff and meets a non-descript
field today.
Race 14 – Louisiana
Derby
#5 Caldera
plus exacta box
with #6 Built
#5 Caldera has taken giant steps forward in each of his three route races so far
with rapidly rising speed figures in his last two races including a close nose
loss last time in the $400,000 Sunland Park Derby. Lukas won last weekend’s
Virgina Derby with American Promise, let’s see what he has in store for us this
time.
Play in exacta box
with #6 Built, who has danced every dance on the Fair
Grounds road to the Kentucky Derby and he’s run well each time so far with a
win in the Gun Runner Stakes, a close second from post 12 behind unbeaten Disco
Time in the Lecomte Stakes, and a third last time in the Risen Star Stakes when
just a head out of second behind the promising but now sidelined Magnitude.
