LCD Turf Purse $125.00 For Three Year Olds And Upward Foaled In LA.

New Orleans, LA

Neon Town from John Henry made quick amends after a next to last finish in the Schiller Stakes. The five-year-old gelding was claimed for only $12.500, and the stable wasted no time in putting him into stakes company where he faltered and ran eighth. The public tossed that effort right out the window and pounded away to make him the solid choice Saturday in the LCD Turf. “Town” didn’t disappoint his backers as he surged late to dead heat with State Au Naturel from Alydar Stables. “Naturel” led every step of the way and simply would not give it up in a gutsy last sixteenth of a mile to share in the victory spoils. Congrats to both of the winning connections of this race for their terrific stretch drive! Three-year-old Continental from Barcelona Farms ran big with a nice late surge to get third money in his first start with older rivals. Cp Sad Pain from T Boy Racing did enough to best Singular Focus from Ajm Stables for fourth place.
