Anything with 'Zarb' in its name is a contender in La-bred races. <grin>

I think you're right. Wasn't it a horse named Zarb's Magic that won the Arkansas Derby one year, beating the eventual Kentucky Derby winner, Grindstone?

Yup, he was the one. Won Arkansas Derby-G2, Risen Star S-L, Louisiana Breeders Derby, Cresecent City Derby (latter two for La-breds); 2nd Louisiana Derby-G3; 3rd Alabama Derby-G3 at3. A gelding, he ran 8 seasons, won 23 of 69 starts.

definitely my favorite track within driving distance.

Its been a while since I was there(for obvious reasons), but I want to go back.
im just a little hesitant to go anywhere near NOrleans.

I will go to SAM this weekend and play FG for sure though.

I hope the big trainers support FG's triple crown trail races this year.
I assume the Lecomte, Risen Star, and LA Derby will all be run this year.

they even have a race named after one of our board members if I remember correctly.
the Dixie Poker Stakes or something.
