Fans are in for a treat on Friday, March 24 as the world famous Budweiser Clydesdales will make an appearance at Louisiana Downs in Shreveport, La.
Weather permitting, the Budweiser Hitch with horses and a Dalmatian sitting next to the driver will parade on the racetrack between the second and third races of the program. In the early days of brewing, dalmatians were bred and trained to protect the horses and guard the wagon when the driver went inside to make deliveries.
The majestic equines will remain onsite for a meet and greet with fans of all ages. Each Clydesdale is carefully selected as they must be at least four years of age, stand approximately 18 hands, weigh an average of 2,000 pounds, be bay in color, have four white legs, a blaze of white on the face, and a black mane and tail. They are known to have a gentle temperament as they delight their fans in their many appearances across the country.
In addition, Louisiana Downs will offer $1 Budweiser draft beer on Friday. The seven-race program will feature the final of the $107,000 Louisiana Downs Maiden Classic and the $25,000 Billy Montgomery. Post time for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday will be 1:35 pm (Central).
