Magic Man’s Thursday Selections From the Fair Grounds

Entering another week of racing here at the Fair Grounds, it should be another great slate. As we run this week, we cannot help but look ahead to next week and our annual rite of December also known as Louisiana Champions Day. It’s our celebration of Louisiana bred horses running in races in many divisions over one festive day. But first we have to get this week of racing done and I must give you winning pics so without any further adieu here goes my look at Thursday’s slate.
