Clear Skies; Louisiana Premier Stakes

The 19th running of Louisiana Premier Day at Delta Downs on Feb. 5 couldn’t have been scripted out any better. With clear skies and a cool breeze, the 11-race program featured 10 stakes races and more than $900,000 in total purse money for Louisiana-bred horses who were vying for hoof-pounding greatness. Not only was the weather picture perfect, but the betting handle soared to $3,075,587, which was nearly $800,000 more than last year’s soirée.

Every new year brings new breeding opportunities. Race horses retire from the track. Stallions that started their careers in Kentucky migrate to regional markets. 2022 brings several exciting stallions to Louisiana, giving breeders in the state several promising new opportunites.
