Super Derby top two due in town Friday

Lone Sailor and High North, who figure to start as the top two choices in the Grade 3, $300,000 Super Derby on Sunday at Louisiana Downs, are both due to arrive at the Bossier City, La., track on Friday, according to their respective trainers, Tom Amoss and Brad Cox. Both horses are based at Churchill Downs.

Cox’s other stakes starters Sunday – Big Changes in the $60,000 Unbridled and Hachi in the $60,000 River Cities – also will arrive Friday. Cox won last year’s Super Derby with Mr. Misunderstood.

Louisiana Downs will run seven stakes on Super Derby Day, with the six supporting stakes all scheduled for turf. Sunday’s forecast calls for a high of 91 degrees and a 60 percent chance of precipitation, with possible scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon.
