Louisiana Downs notes for June 27th

by Jarrod Horak on June 28th, 2008

Had a bit of a frustrating day with my trackside analysis at Louisiana Downs on Friday (6-27-08). Five of my 2nd and 3rd choices got the job done, with Parade the Flag my lone top to score. Tough beat for my best bet Sam n Sarah’s Combo. I am learning the oval, meeting the connections, and watching the horses daily from the paddock.

Here are some observations from the Friday card…

Race 1: Cale Etbauer veered in sharply at the start and never threatened as the 2nd betting choice.

Race 2: Look a Dat set the pace, was passed on the outside by a pair, fought back around the turn and into the stretch before weakening from his efforts.

Race 4: Sam n Sarah’s Combo was confidently handled by John Jacinto from the outside, and he even peaked back for competition turning for home, but the herding instinct kicked in and she hung a bit to just miss.

Race 6: Gayle’s Fan reared and fell right in front of me as I was starting my paddock report. She scratched out of the race, and I do not know her condition currently.

Race 7: Saturday Deelites made an early inside move under Diego, but she had nowhere to go from the backside to late stretch, and once she found clear sailing she took off after fav Sligo Joe and was a stride too late.
