Friday at Fair Grounds

Another splendid Friday for horse racing.  Today we look at a sprint at Fair Grounds Race Course.

Fair Grounds Race 8 {6 furlongs~3 year old Up~Optional Claimer}
A very nice field of seven including a few that had been nominated to the triple crown earlier in the year.  Success Success (Lanerie / P. McGee) has a very slight edge with the third highest last out speed number at an 110 yard longer sprint and two strong workouts.  Homerun Berti (Hernandez / Margolis) will challenge as the potential favorite.  He has the highest last out speed number over a seven furlong sprint and has been the model of consistency in his last three starts.  Additionally, Homerun Berti is holding a five race progression and has put in two good workouts.  Depaul (Albarado / Asmussen) may surprise with two wins in two tries at this distance and three athletic workouts.  Island Soul (Bridgmohan / Asmussen) is coming off a lengthy layoff and could have the punch to get a piece of the purse.  He has put in four robust, peaking workouts in preparation for this race.  Let's play lovely Fair Grounds Race Course.

$1 WIN / SHOW:  #2 Success Success.
$1 PLACE / SHOW:  #1 Homerun Berti.
10 CENT Superfecta:  None offered for this race.
