Default A Little Plug - Opening Day at Louisiana Downs

Our 36th season of racing kicks-off today. The $750,000 Super Derby the highlight of course, but none-the-less we have competitive fields and great payoffs. The one thing missing is the handicapping prowess of ntamm1215 in our track program, he was demanding too high of a contract for us to bring him back.

Anyway, give us a look and help pay the bills! Enjoy!

Let me jump in here. LAD is a MUST PLAY TRACK. Nice size fields, NO BIAS on the dirt, so the racing is very fair, and there are typically some nice priced winners. And, the turf racing is very competitive.


LAD is one of the better (night) tracks to play, along with EVD and LS, IMO.

And, may I add, a much anticipated opening for all of us Xpressbet account holders who love to play the Louisiana tracks but can't play f'n EVD even though its 45 minutes away. Looking forward to it T Stone!
