NEW ORLEANS – The Sunday feature, a six-furlong, second-level optional-claiming race for 4-year-olds and up, appears to be wide open. A morning line with odds ranging from 7-2 to 5-1 for all seven runners backs up the point. The race is the fifth on a nine-race card.Distant Kingdom, a Wes Hawley trainee who lost by a head to Doc Almon at the same level and distance Feb. 6, might be able to get the job done this time.The pace should be honest, and the stretch-running Distant Kingdom might benefit. Also, Distant Kingdom has done his best running at Fair Grounds, where in five starts he has three wins and two second-place finishes.Doc Almon, trained by Keith Bourgeois, is the only entrant at the $40,000 claiming price.
