I hate to do it, but Gantry in the 3rd race at Louisiana Downs is facing just four rivals ... one of which (the only capable of applying pace pressure) is cross entered in a richer stake race at Kentucky Downs and figures to scratch.
Gantry has won 5 of his last 6 starts -- the lone defeat was a 3rd to Shackleford and Amazombie on the Kentucky Derby undercard. He won the Grade 2 Smile by 5 lengths last time out at Calder -- and drops in to a 50K stake here for trainer Ron Faucheux -- who is winning 53% at the meet and 30% for the year.
Standout of the day: Louisiana Race #3: Gantry

Delaunay scratched at KD. Looks like he is staying in this race.
