After Las Cienegas, Lady Of Lord is Finally a Stake Winner!

A field of five got together for the LCD Lassie on Saturday, and after six furlongs, there was a tight three-way photo.

Filly Looks to Extend Authority on the Boys in LCD Juvenile
The biggest races on Saturday will be held at FG, with a specific focus on those bred in Louisiana. There are a total of seven stakes taking place, so those trainers taking part will be hoping for a fast and firm race track.

Freaks and Creeks Headline LCD Lassie
We continue our look at these fantastic LA-bred races by moving to the LCD Lassie, which is the race for Juvenile Fillies bred in the state. Like it’s counterpart for males, it first appeared on the schedule in 2006, but has not run every year.
