Lord of the Game finally back
By Abram Himelstein
NEW ORLEANS - When last seen racing, Lord of the Game was having monster year, 12 starts, 7 victories, triple-digit Beyers, and graded stakes victories. The trouble is, that monster year was 2005.
On the first day of 2009, Lord of the Game will race again, in Thursday's ninth race at Fair Grounds, a first-level optional $30,000 claiming race, going a mile on the main track.
The $44,000 race is a far cry from the graded races he had been running in, but it is a start.
"He's been working really well, and he needs to run," said his new trainer, Keith Bourgeois. "I'd like to find out if he can be even three-quarters of the horse he once was."
