Super Derby Day – Sept 19th

September 18th Louisiana Downs Recap

Sloppy track and off the turf once again. Main track played fair.

Hat trick for leading rider Don Simington.

Kept the analysis hot streak going with four winning top choices including best bet Izzy Golden ($7.80). Note that daily late Pick 4 play will resume on Saturday with $100k guaranteed pool. We did not have time to work up the graphics, etc. with all of the Super Derby preparations on Thursday and Friday.

Category Seven at Louisiana Downs

September 19th Preview

Weather: Isolated Thunderstorms (30% chance). High 79.

Saturday’s 13-race card includes six stakes races and includes the Grade 2 $750k Super Derby.

Unbridled Handicap: Mogumbo Cat goes for his 5th straight win and is clearly the one to beat under Garrett Gomez.

Sunday Silence Stakes: Analysis with wagering strategies can be found on Horse Racing Nation.

Temperence Hill Stakes: Wide open sprint. Morning line fav Cosmic drew the outside post and will be rallying from the back of the pack.

Happy Ticket Stakes: Rich Pearl is the morning line favorite exiting a solid win in the local prep for this.

Grade 2 Super Derby: Analysis with wagering strategies can be found on Horse Racing Nation.

River Cities Stakes: Category Seven (shown above) has been a gem of consistency this year with ten exacta finishes from as many starts. A head and a neck away from 6 straight tallies.
