Fair Grounds: Mylute, Revolutionary out of New Orleans Handicap

Two potential New Orleans Handicap starters are being pointed to other races, their trainers said Monday. Mylute, who hasn’t raced since the Jim Dandy Stakes last summer, will run in an allowance race on Thursday at Fair Grounds. Revolutionary, seventh in the Donn Handicap, will make his next start in the Oaklawn Handicap, trainer Todd Pletcher said in a text message.

The New Orleans Handicap still will have a good field, headed by Palace Malice, Normandy Invasion, and Mineshaft Handicap winner Bradester.

Five allowance races

There are five allowance races on an appealing nine-race Wednesday card. High-end Louisiana-bred sprinters get things started in race 1, which features Get in Da House and the long-layoff comebacker M Dication. Countercyclical, the fastest maiden winner of the meet, drops into a first-level allowance in race 7 after tackling stakes horses in his most recent start.
