Owendale looks to outclass New Orleans Classic rivals

At 0h22, on March 18, 2021 • By FAIR GROUNDS

Multiple graded stakes winner Owendale headlines a competitive field of eight older horses for Saturday’s 96th running of the $400,000 New Orleans Classic (G2) at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots. Run at 1 1/8 miles, the New Orleans Classic is Race 11-of-14 and one of eight stakes races on Saturday’s program.

The headliner is the $1 million Louisiana Derby (G2).

Trained by Brad Cox, Owendale began his 5-year-old campaign with a third-place effort in the February 27 Razorback (G3) at Oaklawn Park behind top Dubai World Cup (G1) contender Mystic Guide.

Installed as 9-5 morning line favorite, the Into Mischief colt will break from post 2 with Florent Geroux aboard as he eyes his first graded stakes score since his 3-year-old campaign.
