Lous Lancelot, who proved a punctual favorite in the first Open Trot of the meet two weeks ago, looks for an encore in Friday night’s (Dec. 27) $7,700 headliner at Cal Expo.
Watch and Wager LLC will present nine races with first post set for 9:45 p.m.
This week will see the beginning of a Friday and Saturday night schedule that will run through May 2, with first post on Saturdays at 9:30 p.m.
Lous Lancelot is a 5-year-old son of Lou’s Legacy who is owned by Elliott Gorov, takes his lessons from Chip Lackey and will once again have Luke Plano giving directions.
Sent off the 4-5 choice on opening week in the top dance for the trotting set, he made every pole a winning one that evening to show the way home by a length over All Champy.
The latter will be gunning for some revenge Friday night for owner Steve Chambers, trainer Kathy Plested and pilot Nick Roland.
Winner of the Steve Wiseman at Running Aces in August, this 10-year-old gelding sat the pocket trip behind Lous Lancelot and finished a length behind that rival in a solid initial effort at this stand.
