Purse $125,000 For Three Year Olds Foaled In LA.

Delta Downs Racetrack Vinton, Louisiana

French Want Me from T Boy Racing is a standout here and has earned top billing easily. Already 16.1 hands, the gelding is big and mature, and it shows in his running lines. Winner of four out of eight and earnings approaching $250,000 he has the advantage. “Me” also draws the outside of a small five horse field, so his pilot can position him wherever he wants. Beat him to collect. Poetico from Acber Stables will garner plenty of attention at the windows with a running line that shows a Breeder’s Cup run last year, something rarely seen in a Louisiana state bred race. Poetico broke his maiden sprinting and then won a decently rated allowance race going two turns, so he won’t be short going seven-eighths here. Even with the BC in his running lines, he still has something to prove to take this one. My Ideal Hero from Iwin Enterprise had the lead on French Want Me back in November and didn’t get beat that badly. Looks like a similar spot Saturday.

Of the rest:

Sweet Avenger from Alydar Stables is growing and has plenty of gas. He will be sent and should be able to lead them, something that might be hard for My Ideal Hero to handle. Win, lose or draw, he should be the target.

Officer On Call from Asgar just broke her maiden and draws the rail. Yes, I said “her”. The filly has also never seen winners or a dry track yet. Looks in deep here running with males, on the rail and first with winners.
