Turf race key in reduced-takeout pick four Wednesday

Evangeline Downs begins offering a reduced 12 percent takeout on its pick fours Wednesday night, and the late pick four is highlighted by a turf allowance.

Zendelphian figures to start as one of the top choices in the eighth race, a conditioned one-mile race for Louisiana-breds, after finishing second in the $100,000 Louisiana Legends Cheval last out July 2. He will add Lasix.

Also at Evangeline, jockey Steve Bourque enters Wednesday night’s card four wins from the 4,000th Thoroughbred victory of his career.
