Jean Lafitte Stakes

Notes:
Out of state shippers make up half of the eight-horse field in this local prep for next month s 1 million G3 Delta Downs Jackpot. Big Big Easy, who broke his maiden at Indiana Downs in his second try, enters off a big winning effort in an optional claimer at Churchill Downs. The son of Midshipman is unbeaten at this 1m distance and his 91 BRIS Speed Rating last out is the highest among this group. Control Stake also captured his first victory at Indiana Downs in his second attempt and the Tom Amoss trainee sports a best of 41 bullet work in Louisville under the Twin Spires to prepare for this. South Florida invader Golden Actor returns on 12 days rest after finding the winner s circle second time out in a 1m contest at Gulfstream Park West. That surface, formerly known as Calder, has been favorably compared to Delta s and runners from there have fared well on this course in previous years. Incremental, still a maiden after three starts, exits a close fourth-place finish after a troubled beginning in a Keeneland route race. Waha Wild is the only stakes champ in the field, having taken the restricted Evangeline Downs Star S. over the slop in his second career race. The Offlee Wild gelding just missed in the mud when launching his career at the Lafayette, La. oval. Sharon s Boy has a maiden score over statebreds at Louisiana Downs and an allowance win against open company there but failed to hit the board in stakes on dirt and turf. Netcents was a distant fourth in his initial outing at Louisiana Downs then won a similar maiden special weight there in late August. Barbwirebilly also comes into this off a Louisiana Downs race, where he was a good second in his career debut. He ll be getting first-time Lasix on the barn switch from Connie Daniels to Keith Bourgeois.
