Gladyousawme back at favorite track

Gladyousawme, who is a two-time stakes winner at Delta Downs, returns to Delta Downs Friday night for the featured eighth race, an optional $20,000 claiming route for 3-year-olds and up at a mile. Gladyousawme boasts a perfect 3-for-3 record at Delta, including wins in the $150,000 Louisiana Legacy in November 2017 and the $120,000 Louisiana Premier Night Prince for 3-year-olds in February.

“He does like Delta,” said Brad Cox, who trains Gladyousawme for Klein Racing.

Gladyousawme enters Friday night’s feature off a seventh-place finish in the $50,000 Mr. Sulu on Nov. 16 at Fair Grounds. He broke from the 11-hole in the about one-mile turf race and was beaten 3 1/4 lengths in his first out since March.

“It’s going to be his second race off the layoff and I think he definitely needed the last race,” Cox said. “It was a big ask last time. It was a very strong race and he ran really respectable.”

Gladyousawme will break from post 5 under Roberto Morales.
