Fields set for Louisiana Premier Night

Underpressure, the winner of the $150,000 Louisiana Champions Day Classic at Fair Grounds in his last start, is scheduled to run Saturday night at Delta Downs in the $150,000 Louisiana Premier Night Championship. He drew post 4 for the 1 1/16-mile race, which has a full field of 10.

Trainer Chris Richard has given the mount to Corey Lanerie.

The Championship is the richest of six stakes races on a 12-race program that starts at 5:25 p.m. Central.

Others set to start in the Championship include Givemeaminit, winner of the Louisiana Championship Day Sprint at Fair Grounds, and Afleet Ascent, who invades from Southern California.

Monte Man goes in the $100,000 Sprint. He is coming off a third-place finish in the Louisiana Champions Day Sprint, his first loss in the state. He had won seven consecutive races – all at tracks in Louisiana – leading into Champions Day.

Testing One Two shoots for her third straight win at the Delta meet in the $125,000 Distaff.

◗ Marzo, the runner-up in the off-the-turf Woodchopper in late December at Fair Grounds, returns to the overnight ranks for Thursday’s eighth race at Oaklawn. He has been working over the local strip for Brad Cox, who trains the horse for Arkansas resident Steve Landers. The feature is a first-level allowance for 4-year-olds and up at 1 1/16 miles. Mercer Island, who has been racing in Southern California, is another top contender.
