FG Classic Purse $500.000

For Four Year Olds And Upward    1 1/8 on Dirt Grade 2
Fair Grounds Race Course, New Orleans, LA

Extreme Jet from Mb Stables needs no introduction and the small field will certainly help him more than his three fellow rivals who all come out of the Pegasus WorldCup and BC Classic double. “Jet” should establish himself early and be hard to catch in this micro field running for $500.000. Without Warning from TwinTowersRacing is a cut below his three main rivals here but will have his best chance to turn the tables on them yet. Positionally speaking, he should be the main threat to the top pick. He also appears to be improving as he matures. Fawkes from Delta Farms will come out, sit and then move into it when his jockey pushes the button. He will need some pace help to get it done today. All Take from Alydar Stables draws the outside slot, and his connections may or may not try to change tactics given the field signed up. Showing more pace would not be out of the question looking at his past performances.

Of the rest:

Wild Card Weekend from Night Rider Stables is a storybook claim already and already goes for story of the year, here in March. Taken for lunch money, the turnaround has been stellar. If it rains, that would add to his appeal.

Energizer Party from Robeth appeared done at the end of last year and then came back to life in his lone 2026 dance. Plenty of time between races, but it would still be a shocker.
