Yes, next Saturday, November 21. First post is 1:15 CST. Stakes filled card with Pick 4 Races 4-7.

Attended my first Jackpot in 2006 to support post-Rita recovery there. Will see my 9th Jackpot of last 10 next week. I missed snowy 2009 event.

It is fun day in sun (usually) watching races on Sabine Sand. I describe Delta Downs as 6-furlong bull ring with 'drag strip' front chute. Very unique configuration. See Google Maps or Earth for visual.

Delta has great workers who exhibit friendliness and show pride in their facility. Don Stevens, track announcer and simulcast host, is both engaging and entertaining as he describes the day's action.

Oh, and this isn't Cajun region, just over 4 miles from Texas. It is all cowboy and cowgirl place!
