Dear Member of the Media,
Attached is a credential application (in PDF and Word formats) for the upcoming 142nd Thoroughbred Racing Season at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots.
The 84-day meet opens Friday, November 22 with Starlight Racing and concludes March 30. Highlights include Opening Day, Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 28) Louisiana Champions Day (Dec.14), Mardi Gras racing (Mar. 4), five Starlight Racing dates, and three days of graded stakes racing (Jan. 18, Feb. 22 and March 29) culminating with the 101st Louisiana Derby on March 29.
