Strong statebred turf allowance Sunday

Sunday’s featured race at Fair Grounds, race 2, is a Louisiana-bred turf allowance race also open to $35,000 claimers with conditions that are open enough to allow the best statebred grass horses to run.

The field includes the one-two finishers from the $100,000 Louisiana Champions Day Turf, Extra Credit and Fort Pulaski, as well as Grande Basin, whose late rally in the $150,000 Champions Day Classic fell a nose short of the victorious Mobile Bay.

Also entered is the long-layoff comebacker Gentlemens Agreement, whose 2016 form, if he can get close to it, would make him a contender.
