Race 5—$50,000
3-year-olds and up, Accredited Louisiana-breds which have started for a claiming price of $20k or less in 2010, 1 1/16 miles, 20th running
Trainer Tony Richey (Grey Papillon, winner): “We gave him a little time after we ran him at Evangeline and he ran the bad race. There was a loose horse in the barn the night we ran him and that one ran all over the barn. Then he fought going to the gate. It was just a bad night for him. After that we stopped on him and gave him some time off. We’ve had this race planned all along, to give him a race at Delta, tighten him up off the layoff and then be ready here. And it worked. He was just perfect today.
“I think the public was betting on his appearance. He looked about as good as a horse can look today. He was dappled out and real alert.”
Jockey Richard Eramia (Grey Papillon, winner): “This is a very good horse and he won easy today. I didn’t see a lot of speed in the race so I put him on the lead and he went easy. The last three-sixteenths I had a lot of horse.”
