Guitar Solo wins the Acadiana Stakes at Evangeline Downs. Coady Photography.
Guitar Solo broke sharply to gain early control and led every step in the $60,000 Acadiana Stakes. The race for 3-year-old fillies was contested over six furlongs.
Jockey Devin Magnon and Guitar Solo broke alertly and were quickly a length in front of the Acadiana field. Fibber, showing a new dimension with some early speed, was on the chase from the outset. Guitar Solo held a 2-1/2 length advantage through an opening quarter-mile in 22.46 seconds, but Fibber was able to cut the margin to just a half-length after the half-mile split in 45.76.
As the field turned for home, Guitar Solo dug in and would not be denied, holding on for a length victory in the end. Fibber gave a valiant effort in defeat and was well clear of third-place finisher Nana’s Corn Muffin, with the margin another 2-3/4 lengths. The winner stopped the timer in 1:11.92.
Owned by World War IV Racing (Warren McFatter and John Christmann), Guitar Solo wins for the third time in five career starts. The winning purse of $36,000 increases her lifetime earnings to $133,800.
Trained by Allen Landry, the winner was sired by Star Guitar. She is out of the Grand Appointment mare Tory’s Triumph.
Off as a slight favorite, Guitar Solo returns $4.40 to win, $2.60 to place and $2.10 to show. Fibber pays $2.60 to place, $2.10 to show and Nana’s Corn Muffin was worth $3.40 to show.

Dr. Delmar Ray Caldwell “Del” went peacefully to be with the Lord on Monday, March 18, 2024. He was born on October 29, 1935 in Thomas, Oklahoma to the late John William Caldwell and Ada Gertrude Deickman Caldwell, originally from Watertown, Buffalo County, Nebraska. Delmar was the beloved life-long partner of Jo Ann Thompson for 38 years. He was the loving father of Delmar Caldwell, Jr. (Mary Lee), William Mark Caldwell, MD, and Samantha McShane (Brady). He was the proud grandfather of Lindsay Marie Moragas (Ryan), Chelsea Amy Caldwell, Grant Thomas Caldwell (Clare), Sophie Ann McShane, and Kate Ryan McShane; great-grandfather of Rutherford Joseph and Miriam Charlotte Caldwell. During the years with his life partner, he mentored and helped Jo Ann raise her nephew Kelton Thompson, and her younger brother Dylan. He was a beloved member of their extended families.
Dr. Caldwell was an extraordinary man, truly one of a kind. While impossible to fully capture the story of his remarkable life in words, it probably can best be described as a real-life example of the “American Dream”. Dr. Caldwell began his life the youngest of six boys, living with his parents and brothers in a four room cabin “on a dirt farm” in Western Oklahoma. There was no electricity or running water and even less food. Both parents were gone by the age of 9 and he was passed from older brothers, family members, and foster care. By the eighth grade, (age 13), he was on his own. This was the humble beginnings of a young man with the grit and tenacity and will to not only survive but to overcome every obstacle and fulfill his every dream! Work ethic, great grades, and ketchup soup kept him afloat. After high school, he played AAA baseball for the Washington Senators to make money for college. Sports, football to be precise, gave him a four year full ride scholarship to the University of Oklahoma where he went to med school. From there he went to Baylor University in Texas for his residency. Later, he specialized in Ophthalmology at Harvard in Boston. Dr. Caldwell’s life story is a remarkable, almost unbelievable one, and yet, it was very rarely shared. His life was about helping others, which leads us to the most important component of his miraculous life.
Fulfilling his dream and in doing so, fulfilling so many others by giving the gift of sight. Dr. Caldwell served as a professor and the Chairmen of the Ophthalmology department at Tulane University for more than 40 years. During that time, he trained nearly 300 ophthalmology residents, invented an artificial cornea, and lectured around the world. He was engaged by large-scale medical centers around the globe as a consultant and was sought out to perform eye surgery on world leaders and dignitaries. The work that he found most fulfilling, however, were the numerous mission trips that he organized and led outside of the United States to provide free medical services to underserved communities in Central and South America. People would line up for miles, sleeping on the side of the road, in the hopes of being seen by Dr. Caldwell and his traveling medical team. Dr. Caldwell’s medical practice touched countless people over half a century – in fact, he had a full surgery schedule when he fell ill in February 2024 at the age of 88. When his patients were notified that Dr. Caldwell was admitted to the hospital and unable to perform their scheduled procedures, they all responded that they would prefer to wait until he got back to the office, rather than rescheduling with another eye surgeon. He was a pioneer in his field and endlessly dedicated to sharing his gift to help others.
Though he could have retired from practice at any time, he continued because he was doing what he loved. When asked about it, he would say as long as God allows me, I will continue. If I can help give sight to someone who has lost it, “How Could I Say No”? For those of you that have inquired about honoring Dr. Caldwell: The Delmar R. Caldwell Memorial Cornea Cancer Research has been established with Resource Bank, Attention: Juanita Barbaro 985-801-1888, 70533 Hwy. 21, Covington, La. 70433. *Please make checks payable to – Delmar R. Caldwell Memorial Cornea Cancer Research. E. J. Fielding Funeral Home has been entrusted with the arrangements. Please sign the online guestbook at www.ejfieldingfh.com.

Enhanced medication policies will be in effect at all the major auctions in the U.S. beginning July 1, leading North American sales companies Keeneland Association, Fasig-Tipton Company and Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company jointly announced Tuesday morning. The changes were made in an effort “to safeguard the welfare of the horse while creating greater clarity and consistency among the nation’s three major U.S. Thoroughbred auction houses,” according to the release, and are the result of meetings between the three companies begun last October at the behest of the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority.
The new rules enhance current medication policies, reducing the number of permitted therapeutic medications while increasing the number of prohibited medications to include all substances currently banned under HISA’s Anti-Doping and Medication Control program. The penalties for violation of rules will also be increased.
Keeneland President and CEO Shannon Arvin, Fasig-Tipton President Boyd T. Browning Jr. and OBS President Tom Ventura said in a joint statement:
“We continue to refine our policies with the goals of protecting the well-being of the horse and providing our customers with transparency and the best opportunity for success at the race track. Horse safety and welfare must be a collaborative effort across our sport, which includes the sales ring. We take our leadership roles toward that mission seriously and remain united in our advocacy to serve the best interest of the horse.”
Among the listed highlights of the new medication reforms: no non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be administered to a horse within 48 hours of an under-tack performance; no NSAID may be administered to a horse after 6 p.m. the day prior to sale; NSAIDs permitted for use on the sales grounds are Phenylbutazone (Bute), Flunixin Meglumine (Banamine) and Ketoprofen (Ketofen), at or below manufacturer’s recommended dosage (MRD). Only one such NSAID can be administered at any one time (stacking is prohibited).
No corticosteroid may be administered to a horse within 48 hours of an under-tack performance. No corticosteroid may be administered to a horse within 24 hours of the start of the session in which that horse is scheduled to sell.
The 152nd racing season saw stakes purses rise to $9.95 million, the richest in Louisiana’s history
New Orleans, La (March 27, 2024) –Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots wrapped up its 152nd season of racing on Sunday, March 24, having offered the richest stakes schedule in Louisiana history at $9.95 million. The 2023 – 2024 trainer, owner, and jockey title winners all extended from one barn, as Shane Wilson finished atop all conditioners, first call Jose Guerrero earned top pilot honors, and Brittlyn Stable hoisted the owner’s title.
Brad Cox swept Fair Grounds’ “Road to the Kentucky Oaks” series presented by Fasig-Tipton, sending out Alpine Princess in the $100,000 Untapable Stakes, West Omaha in the $150,000 Silverbullerday, and Tarifa who took both the $300,000 Rachel Alexandra (G2) and the $400,000 Fair Grounds Oaks (G2)..
The meet began as it did the year prior, with Louisiana Champions Day Preview Weekend on Nov. 17-18, featuring six stakes written for horses bred in the Pelican State. On Saturday, Dec. 2, the Claiming Crown was held at Fair Grounds, the first time since 2011, followed by Louisiana Champions Day on Dec. 9. The pinnacle of the meet was Louisiana Derby Day on March 23, when eight stakes were carded, including four graded affairs. The 111th running of the $1 million TwinSpires.com Louisiana Derby (G2) was the highlight of the 73 stakes contested over the 76-racing day meet. Trained by Brad Cox, Albaugh Family Stable’s Catching Freedom put on a stellar performance to go from last to first and catapult to the top of the Kentucky Derby Leaderboard Standings.
The 2023-2024 meet began with unveiling two new barns, erected to replace those wrecked in 2021 by Hurricane Ida. The Stall-Wilson turf course maintained its integrity throughout the meet, showcasing many of the sport’s best grass runners, like the rising star I’m Very Busy who dazzled the full field of older males to win the $300,000 Muniz Memorial (G2) presented by Horse Racing Nation on March 23.
Another race that will be forever remembered took place on Louisiana Derby Day, as Set-Hut’s Louisiana-bred Touchuponastar ran his heart out on the lead only to be chased down late by Winchell Thoroughbreds’ Red Route One for trainer Steve Asmussen in the $500,000 New Orleans Classic (G2) presented by Relyne GI By Hagyard.
The 76-day meet featured all the traditions that horsemen, horseplayers, and fans adore: Miles Ahead won the 99th running of the $200,000 Thanksgiving Classic for trainer Paul McGee; the Road to the Derby series saw Track Phantom walk over from Steve Amsussen’s barn to score the first two legs with the Gun Runner and the Lecomte; Chad Brown shipped Sierra Leone in to take the Risen Star. Low takeout in the 50-cent Pick 5 and $1 Pick 6 pools remained at 15%.
Coinciding with the Black Gold Stakes, on March 2 Fair Grounds celebrated the 100-year anniversary of Black Gold becoming the first Louisiana Derby champion to win the Kentucky Derby. His connections’ family were in attendance as the ceremonial wreath was placed at Black Gold’s grave in the infield.
Celebrating its 25th year, the Claiming Crown returned to Fair Grounds on Dec. 2. With purses ranging from $75,000 to $200,000, the card showcased Money Supply from trainer Joe Sharp who scored in the $200,000 Jewel, and later won the $300,000 Mineshaft Presented by Relyne GI By Hagyard (G3). Sharp had another strong meet, finishing sixth in the standings with over $1 million in purse earnings.
Inspired by strong handle during the first seven weeks of the meet, Fair Grounds announced a 10% purse increase across the board, along with $25,000 added to the purses of ten stakes.

Wilson’s hot start to the meet never cooled off, and the trainer put a bow on his first Fair Grounds title winning three races in a row on Closing Day, including two stakes with Brittlyn Stable’s Ova Charged and Behemah Star. Tallying 50 on top finishes, Wilson earned over $2 million in purses. Having transferred her string to Wilson’s care prior to the meet, with 14 wins Evelyn Benoit of Brittlyn Stable was awarded her second owner’s title in the last three years. Also stabling Thoroughbreds with Shane Wilson, owner Wayne T. Davis finished in second with 12 wins.
Leading Jockey, J.A. Guerrero. Hodges Photography.
Jockey newcomer Jose Guerrero piloted 48 to the winner’s circle for Wilson, plus four for other connections, to take the riding title with 52 in total. The title for leading rider came down to the last day as fans saw Guerrero win three races in a row on Closing Day’s 15-race card, edging out Jareth Loveberry by one win. Three new additions to the jockey colony finished at the top of the standings, as Ben Curtis and Jaime Torres joined Jose Guerrero in the top five. On Dec. 3 jockey James Graham brought home his 3,000th career win, piloting Vortex for trainer Keith Desormeaux.
Having achieved a 5,000th career win prior to the meet, Corey Lanerie added 49 more to his tally, finishing third in the standings–very much in striking distance of his first ever local title. No win was more special than in the final race of the meet when he piloted Chasey Pomier’s Free Like a Girl to win the $100,000 Shantel Lanerie Memorial, which is named in honor of Corey’s departed wife.
Donned the “Cajun Queen” by track announcer John G. Dooley, Brittlyn Stable’s 6-year-old mare Ova Charged took the title in four stakes for a perfect meet, highlighted by beating open company fillies and mares sprinting across the Stall-Wilson Turf Course in the $100,000 Mardi Gras Stakes.
The veteran turf router trained by Tanner Tracy, Joel B. Hunsburger’s Niles Channel was the first to four wins this meet (from six tries). Only to be outdone by Ova Charged’s perfect record and gaudy speed figures. Thirteen different Thoroughbreds won three races each, including Dream Walkin’ Farms’ Wardy for Joe Duhon and Rigney Racing’s Speedy Traveler for Philip Bauer. Those two joined Tarifa and Ova Charged with perfect records on the meet. Set-Hut’s Touchuponastar reigned supreme as the top Louisiana-bred, winning the $150,000 Louisiana Champions Day Classic. The $100,000 Star Guitar Stakes went to Brittlyn Stable’s Behemah Star.
Many famed connections continued their tradition of remarkable success at Fair Grounds. Tom Amoss finished second in the trainer standings with 28 wins and over $1 million in purse earnings. At a 28% strike rate, Brad Cox was right behind with 27 on the meet. Having saddled Catching Freedom ahead of his Louisiana Derby victory, Cox was also celebrated for repeating an Oaks-Derby prep sweep on Louisiana Derby Day, which he also accomplished in 2020 with Bonny South and Wells Bayou. New Orleans-natives Dallas Stewart (15 wins) and Al Stall Jr. (14) also finished in the top ten of the trainer standings.
New barns which had headline-grabbing meets included two young and hungry trainers from the NYRA circuit, as Rob Atras won an impressive 43% clip with 6 scores and Robert Falcone Jr. finished at 31% with 5.
On Saturday, Feb. 24, Fair Grounds honored the equine athletes with the fourth annual “New Vocations Day at the Races.” Jockey Rosie Napravnik, a four-time local champion, joined Fair Grounds personality Joe Kristufek on-air to raise money for all aspects of racehorse aftercare.
At season’s end, four of the top ten and six of the top 20 horses on the Kentucky Derby points leaderboard ran in Fair Grounds’ prep series. Last year Two Phil’s, Angel of Empire, and Disarm traveled Fair Grounds’ road to the Derby starting gates to finish 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, respectively. If recent history is any inclination, many of the top performers from Fair Grounds’ 2023 – 2024 meet will go forward to snatch purses and grab headlines on horse racing’s national scene.

With the 2022 edition already on his resume, Brittlyn Stable’s Behemah Star scored his second $100,000 Star Guitar Stakes at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots on Sunday. The son of Star Guitar beat four older Louisiana-bred males, putting 2 1/2 lengths between he and Budro Talking to complete the 1 1/16 miles in 1:45.05.
Trained by Fair Grounds’ 2023 – 2024 leading trainer Shane Wilson, Behemah Star’s pilot was Jose Guerrero.
“I knew he was ready,” Guerrero said. “Last time he got tired but today I knew he was ready. I was really comfortable the way he did it. I really appreciate this opportunity from Mr. Shane and Ms. Benoit. It’s really nice to ride for these kinds of people.”
Breaking to the lead and setting an opening call in :26.17, soon Behemah star was taken over by Budro Talking who led the way from the rail through a second quarter of :50.17. Comfortable to stalk in second, Behemah Star saved his run for the end, bidding by Budro Talking who finished second. Blue Cheese came late for third.
Behemah Star completed the Star-Guitar-sired stakes Daily Double, as Ova Charged won the Page Cortez sprinting on the turf the race prior.
“These Star Guitars can do everything,” Wilson said. “He’s had stakes winners on the dirt, on the turf. Every week he’s producing another one. He’s the best sire in the state. We’re thankful Ms. Benoit has given us a chance this meet. It’s been a blast to run in these kinds of races and get the job done for her.”
The versatile 6-year-old has a career record of 23-7-7-4 with $435,421 in the bank.

For her fourth stakes win of the 152nd Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots meet, Brittlyn Stable’s Ova Charged shot out of the gates and never looked back, winning the $100,000 Page Cortez Stakes by 12 1/2 lengths. Stablemate Rue La La ran second to complete the Brittlyn Stable-homebred, Star Guitar-sired exacta in the 5 1/2-furlong turf contest. One race later in the Star Guitar Stakes, Behemah Star added to the sire’s flair to complete the Star Guitar-sired stakes Daily Double.
“She’s a special, special horse,” owner Evelyn Benoit said. “So sweet. So calm. She’s just a sweetheart and so is Rue La La. She is the gift from Star Guitar that keeps giving. Star Guitar is the gift that keeps on giving–Al Stall said that years ago and it’s true. Ova Charged’s sister, Manama Gold is the talk of Dubai, undefeated. It makes me feel so good to have (Ova Charged) known internationally.”
Trained by Fair Grounds’ 2023 – 2024 leading trainer Shane Wilson, Ova Charged took jockey Jose Guerrero along for the ride, clocking in at 1:01.90.
“She broke really fast this time,” Guerrero said. “I think she outbroke me. That is a nice, nice filly to ride. I want to thank Mr. Shane and Ms. Benoit. I looked back and didn’t see anyone coming and I thought we’ll get this one easy like the last time.”
Last out in the Mardi Gras Stakes, Ova Charged asserted her dominance, beating the field of eight open company fillies and mares by 5 1/4 lengths.
Brittlyn Stable won the owner’s title, the second in the last three years for Evelyn Benoit.
Ove Charged gifted the public $2.20, $2.20, and $2.10.
In 15 starts, the “Cajun Queen” has a 12-1-0 record and $608,780 in jewels and riches.
