| * EXACTA: 6-1 BOX, 1-3 BOX, 3-4 BOX | ||||
| * TRIFECTA: 1/3/6 BOX, 1/3/4 BOX | ||||
| COMMENTS: RISING INFLATION won her lone trip at Fair Grounds with ease. HIGHLY WICKED has three wins with a second and a third at Fair Grounds. TOMMIE G hit the board in seven of eight at the distance but is more likely to fill in exotics than win. SAVED BY GRACE should improve somewhat in the second start after a layoff. | ||||

| RACE #6 $100,000 Stakes 1 1/16 Miles ON THE Turf - POST TIME: 4:35 PM ET |
||||
| ** BONUS COMMENTARY ** $100,000 EDWARD JOHNSTON MEMORIAL | ||||
| PICK ORDER | M/L | P# | HORSE NAME | JOCKEY |
| WIN | 8-1 | 8 | Letmikefigureitout | J Melancon |
| PLACE | 6-1 | 1 | Sippin On Gin | A Concepcion |
| SHOW | 3-1 | 2 | Allnight Moonlight | T Thornton |
| WILD CARD | 8-1 | 9 | Boss of All Bosses | B Curtis |
| ALTERNATE 1 | 20-1 | 7 | Benoit | J Graham |
| ALTERNATE 2 | 5-1 | 3 | Cajun Mitole | I Castillo |
| * EXACTA: 8-1 BOX, 1-2 BOX, 2-9 BOX | ||||
| * TRIFECTA: 1/2/8 BOX, 1/2/9 BOX | ||||
| COMMENTS: LETMIKEFIGUREITOUT will give grass a go for the first time but has the late legs to make the switch successfully. SIPPIN ON GIN is another trying turf for the first time and has the breeding to suggest it should work. ALLNIGHT MOONLIGHT ran similar fractions despite going a little longer last out. BOSS OF ALL BOSSES has three wins with a second and third in a handful of Fair Grounds turf tries. | ||||
| RACE #7 $100,000 Stakes 1 Mile 70 Yards ON THE Dirt - POST TIME: 5:10 PM ET |
||||
| ** BONUS COMMENTARY ** $100,000 STAR GUITAR STAKES | ||||
| PICK ORDER | M/L | P# | HORSE NAME | JOCKEY |
| WIN | 5-1 | 5 | Bubby | S Vives |
| PLACE | 5-2 | 4 | Creole Chrome | J L Ortiz |
| SHOW | 4-1 | 6 | Mor Force | I Castillo |
| WILD CARD | 5-1 | 1 | Wherethehitsare | M Pedroza Jr. |
| ALTERNATE 1 | 3-1 | 2 | Scar Ship | K Roman |
| ALTERNATE 2 | 8-1 | 8 | Thebabeslayer | J Graham |
| * EXACTA: 5-4 BOX, 4-6 BOX, 6-1 BOX | ||||
| * TRIFECTA: 4/5/6 BOX, 1/4/6 BOX | ||||
| COMMENTS: BUBBY just needs to improve a little after a dominating debut win. CREOLE CHROME is just a length from winning all three races to start his career. MOR FORCE will be closing and has shown elite late pace once. WHERETHEHITSARE smoked around the track in his last and could have more to come in the third career race. | ||||
| RACE #8 $100,000 Stakes 1 1/16 Miles ON THE Turf - POST TIME: 5:45 PM ET |
||||
| ** BONUS COMMENTARY ** $100,000 BLACK GOLD STAKES | ||||
| PICK ORDER | M/L | P# | HORSE NAME | JOCKEY |
| WIN | 3-1 | 5 | Touch of Fire | M Pedroza Jr. |
| PLACE | 7-2 | 3 | Swift Blade | J Loveberry |
| SHOW | 6-1 | 8 | Casa Cielo | J Graham |
| WILD CARD | 8-1 | 4 | McCready | T Thornton |
| ALTERNATE 1 | 4-1 | 6 | Beekman Street | B J Hernandez Jr. |
| ALTERNATE 2 | 8-1 | 1 | Black Hornet | D Cannon |
| * EXACTA: 5-3 BOX, 3-8 BOX, 8-4 BOX | ||||
| * TRIFECTA: 3/5/8 BOX, 3/4/8 BOX | ||||
| COMMENTS: TOUCH OF FIRE crushed it in his debut with the highest last race speed figure. SWIFT BLADE ran faster by about three seconds in his second career start. CASA CIELO is a highly consistent performer that should be involved from the start. MCCREADY has strong alte race ability but cannot give up too much ground early. | ||||
| RACE #9 $100,000 Stakes 1 Mile ON THE Dirt - POST TIME: 6:15 PM ET |
||||
| ** BONUS COMMENTARY ** $100,000 CHARGED COTTON STAKES | ||||
| PICK ORDER | M/L | P# | HORSE NAME | JOCKEY |
| WIN | 8-5 | 4 | Braken Poppa | B J Hernandez Jr. |
| PLACE | 2-1 | 3 | Thrill Seeker | A Concepcion |
| SHOW | 12-1 | 8 | Complete Wrap | J Melancon |
| WILD CARD | 6-1 | 6 | Liteupthenite | I Castillo |
| ALTERNATE 1 | 15-1 | 7 | Jet Ruckus | T Thornton |
| ALTERNATE 2 | 15-1 | 2 | Tied the Knot | J Loveberry |
| * EXACTA: 4-3 BOX, 3-8 BOX, 8-6 BOX | ||||
| * TRIFECTA: 3/4/8 BOX, 3/6/8 BOX | ||||
| COMMENTS: BRAKEN POPPA improved nicely in both starts since debuting. THRILL SEEKER will try to take the lead early and keep it. COMPLETE WRAP won her last three but sees stiffer competition today. LITEUPTHENITE hit the board in six of six on a fast track but is more of an exotic filler type than winner. |
