Fair Grounds for the Turf

Finishing out our horse racing weekend we go to the Turf at Fair Grounds Race Track.

Fair Grounds Race 9 {1 mile~Turf~3 year old Up~Allowance}
This race has a nice large field of twelve.  The weather in New Orleans is expected to be Sunny and 59 degrees so it should stay on the Turf.  Royal And Flashy (Clark / Breaux) has the edge with the third highest speed number at the distance, a decent last out speed number at a longer route, and two fine workouts.  Musicstreet Menace (Campbell / Scherer) will challenge with the highest speed number at the distance, also a decent speed number over a longer route, and two strong workouts.  Looks Purrrfect (Bridgmohan / Asmussen) has been prepared nicely for this race with two robust, peaking workouts.  Longhammer (Theriot / Mott) will be making his second career start coming off a longer route over the slop and putting in two great workouts.  Waystogeaux (Camejo / Gomez) will be in the hunt with the highest last out speed number, a six race progression, and two athletic workouts.  Also in the hunt will be Quarter Given (Graham / Hanna) with fourth highest speed number at the distance, a decent speed number at a longer route and two hearty workouts.  Let's play Fair Grounds.
