If it rains, without looking at the PPs Temper Mint Patty has a great shot to win.

Rain, rain, go away! Forecast has gotten worse with each passing day. Latest one is 100% chance of precipitation. Thunderstorms, possibly severe ones.
It's Louisiana so we will hope for change. Rain or shine this is always fun day. Treasure Chest & Delta Mile have attracted graded stakes class fields again this year. Delta surface, aka Sabine Sand, plays well with horses exiting synthetic contests. Plus, several trainers have turf horses entered. Birdbirdistheword triumphed in 2006 Jackpot exiting two turf races. Live horses may come from dirt, syn, or grass. Good luck to all!

Thanks, Steve, for shining spotlight on Delta Downs this week. I started attending in 2006 to support their recovery from Hurricane Rita devastation. Nine years removed from storm, this place and its people have triumphed!
Enjoyed interviews & discussions with Don, Mary & Ed. Sorry NTamm was absent this week. Continue your excellent work. Next year get away from snow and join us. Jackpot Barbie has nice ring!

Just curious.....
Is there some kind of qualifying for the Delta Jackpot? Only 10 can run, but with a $1M purse, way more than 10 are going to be "interested". How are the final 10 determined?

First preference goes to Golden Actor for winning the prep, the Jean Laffite; 2nd preference to horses 1-2-3 in G1 or G2 races; 3rd preference to horses that were in the money in any graded stake; 4th determinant is lifetime earnings.
