Looks who made himself right at home in Nola -- @KentuckyDerby winner Mystik Dan, who worked a half mile over our main track on Saturday. "There are no definitive plans at this point," @KennyMcPeek said. Oaks winner Thorpedo Anna will join the string after the first of the year.

My seventh season @fairgroundsnola has come to a close. Final top pick stats are similar to the last couple of meets: 495-131-104-81 for $812.20 * 26.5% win, 63.8% WPS & $1.64 ROI. 25 off the turf days (out of 75 total) were a killer. A little time to regroup and then get tied…


VIDEO RECAP: He rode in 32,904 races and won 5,118 of them, ranking @TeamGeeMoney 34th on the all-time list. On Sunday, he retired from the saddle. Thanks for the memories Gerard! youtu.be/X-xrr2t4cVk?si…
