Fair Grounds Today - Dec 14th

Fair Grounds Recap – Dec 13^th

After the final four races were called off on Saturday, the entire Sunday card was scrapped due to ongoing bad weather and unsafe track conditions. Click here to read the story.

Results and video for the Dec 12^th card have been posted on Horse Racing Nation, so please check it out if you are interested in viewing the seven Louisiana Champions Day stakes races that were run on Saturday.

Hustling jockey Jose Riquelme has four mounts at Fair Grounds on Monday.

Fair Grounds Preview – Dec 14th

A 9-race program will be run at the Fair Grounds on Monday, and the weather is still on the iffy side. There is a 60% chance of thundershowers with highs in the 70’s.

Today’s rider to watch is Jose Riquelme. I am familiar with his aggressive tactics from Louisiana Downs, and he is riding well with limited chances at Fair Grounds. He has four mounts on Monday, starting with College Bound Kate in the first race.

My trainer of the day is Victor Arceneaux. All of his runners have been live to date, and on Monday he sends out 5-2 fav Just Alex in the opening race.
