It’s a big day at FG this Saturday, and on the lead up to the LA Derby we will have the 15th running of the New Orleans Handicap, which sends older horses nine furlongs along the main track. It is a race that was kind to Maxmillion Farm last year, as the trainer pulled off a 1-2 finish with A Storm Has Arrived and Gran Z.

Chalk Up Another 50-Point Win for Mb Stables in The Rebel
The Rebel was the final 50 point race of the season, and out of the six of them that were run, Mb Stables came away with four wins. Two of them were in the same race, but certainly an impressive clip. In the Rebel, Smokin Luka would earn the distinction of being that fourth winner, giving him four of the top five on the leaderboard.
