Quality Louisiana-bred horses will take center stage on Saturday, Aug. 21, when Louisiana Downs presents Louisiana Cup Day. Post time will be 2:45 pm (CT) for the annual event that will include main track and turf stakes.
Louisiana Cup Day continues to be an excellent afternoon of racing for breeders, owners, trainers and jockeys with an esteemed list of past winners receiving recognition from the Louisiana Thoroughbred Breeders Association (LTBA) when they announce their annual champions. Ivery Sisters's Racing's Monte Man, Tri-Star Racing's Our Lost Love, Rodney Verret's Laughingsaintssong, Barrone Farms LLC's Is Too and Tin Roof Farms LLC's Snowball are just a few of the Louisiana Cup Day stakes winners who have been honored by the LTBA.
“Louisiana Cup Day is a great day for the breeders in our state and fans at Louisiana Downs to see some of the top Thoroughbreds in Louisiana,” said David Heitzmann, Director of Racing. “The day would not be possible without the support of Ed Fenasci, Executive Director of the HBPA and Roger Heitzmann, Executive Director of the LTBA. We look forward to presenting an excellent card on August 21.”
