That will do it for my look at the card. With the Bayou Classic being played today, you would think there will be a hefty crowd on track. It is a good day to enjoy some good racing and hopefully bag a few winners as well. I will be back to close out this week of holiday racing with my look at the Sunday slate so as always may your winners be plentiful and your wallets be fat.
