Fair Grounds: Look At the Time rallies to win Crescent City Derby

Look At the Time finished first for the fourth time in as many career starts when rolling past Event Center to win the $75,000 Crescent City Derby on Sunday at Fair Grounds in New Orleans.

With a confident Corey Lanerie riding for owner Hooties Racing LLC and trainer Wes Hawley, Look At the Time returned $4.80 as favorite after finishing the 1 1/16-mile distance in 1:44.74 over a fast track. Event Center made the lead after slipping through a rail opening at the quarter pole before settling for second, 3 1/2 lengths behind the winner and a neck before Benwill in a field of 11 3-year-old Louisiana-breds.

Look At the Time, by Brahms, won his career debut in December but was disqualified to fourth for interference. He proceeded to win right back in a maiden race, then captured the Gentilly Stakes on the Fair Grounds turf in February before his impressive triumph Sunday on the Louisiana Derby undercard.

The $2 exacta (7-1) paid $17.40 and the $1 trifecta (7-1-6) returned $81.60.
