![]() Fair Gounds treated us a little better than Gulfstream. Not a lot but better. Two players ran
to the wire together with Joly B closing strongly but he just missed at the wire. Four winning bets were recorded on the day but there were a lot of swings and misses and nobody figured out a chalky Lecomte. Who or what is a Lecomte? I could Google it but there are far better history buffs in our group. Anyway Joly B did actually figure out the featured 3 year old race. Starting with race 11 he hit winners in the pick 4 and when Instant Coffee ran first in race 14 he was rewarded with a payout of $126.10. It was however too little and too late. Zippy went all in on the first 4 races and sat back waiting for challenges. Zippy nailed exacta's in races 1, 3 and 4 with the 4th race exacta paying a nice $92. His $33.80 profit held up the rest of the long Louisiana afternoon. Congrats on the win Zippy. Nicely played. Following are the results pending a brain cramp on my part. See you all on Saturday. WIN... Zippy... +$33.80... R1 $2exbx 1-3-5-7.... $30.60 R3 $2exbx 6-7-8-9.... $11.20 R4 $2exbx 2-4-7-9.... $92.00 PLACE... Joly B... +$30.10...

![]() Why is it called Lecompte?
Lecompte was named after a prize-winning race horse that was owned by prominent local landowners the Wells family, whose descendant, James Madison Wells, was the 20th governor of Louisiana (from 1865-1867). The horse itself was named for a Wells family friend and horse breeder named Ambrose LeComte (the "p" was added to the town's name later). |
