The purse for the Super Derby on Sept. 14 at Louisiana Downs has been boosted to $250,000, according to a stakes schedule provided by a track official. Last year, the race was worth $200,000 when held for the first time following a three-year hiatus. It was run Sept. 2.
The Super Derby will again be at 1 1/8 miles.
Louisiana Downs opens May 4 and races through Sept. 26. The calendar calls for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday racing most weeks. There are also live cards on select Saturdays, including Super Derby Day.
