Chris Warren, director of racing for Delta, said on Monday that he was looking for a nine-horse field for the Princess. Those expected for the one-mile race are Truth and Justice, who won the local prep, the $125,000 My Trusty Cat; Bella Diamante and Best Reward, who were second and third in that race; Joanie's Catch, who was to arrive Tuesday from Florida; Quiet Temper, who scratched out of the Grade 2 Golden Rod at Churchill; Drewman Prince, Lela, The Rumor's True, and Woman Soldier.
Warren on Monday said he was looking for eight or nine horses from the 10 pre-entered to go back into the Jackpot. Rule, who won the $175,000 Jean Lafitte at Delta in November, is scheduled to arrive from Kentucky on Wednesday. Gallant Gent was to fly into Louisiana on Wednesday, said his trainer, Craig Lewis. Kent Desormeaux has the mount on Gallant Gent, Lewis said. The Jackpot is also expected to draw Uh Oh Bango, who was to arrive Tuesday from Remington Park; Bench the Judge, who for the past month has been based at Delta; Grand Slam Andre; Man Chester Man; My Time to Star and Oak Motte. Litigation Risk, a maiden winner based at Aqueduct with trainer Rick Violette, is a possible, said Warren. 5th (7:34) Treasure Chest S. 1 Mile | Fillies and Mares | 3 Year Olds And Up Stakes | Purse: $125,000 1 Unforgotten Albarado R J 116 L 2 Sweetsouthern Doll Eramia R E 116 L 3 Ruling Class Bourque S J 116 L 4 Martin's Bay Sellers S J 118 L 5 Mayhaw Gonzalez C V 116 L 6 Zarb's Ballerina Simington D E 123 L 7 Foxy Danseur Velazquez J R 116 L 8 Southern Yankee Saenz D 114 L 6th (8:04) Sam's Town S. 7 Furlongs | Open | 3 Year Olds Stakes | Purse: $60,000 1 Discreet Street Simington D E 121 L 2 Ide Miss Dixie LeBlanc K P 118 L 3 Pertinent Laviolette B S 116 L 4 Forest Voices Lejeune S P Jr 116 L 5 Dumar Sellers S J 116 L 6 And Music Came Rivera H G 116 L 7 Southern Vintage Saenz D 116 L 8 Lookn Mighty Fast Melancon G 116 L 9 Classy Gentleman Burningham J 121 L 10 Firefromthebayou Lozano W Jr 118 L 7th (8:34) Boyd Gaming's Delta Princess S.

Funny you added that as I was going to comment on it too, and applaud Catalano passing this gimmicky event. It's hard to find many horses that go to these 2 races and manage to have a great sophomore season. It's seems to strictly be a money grab. I think you only go to this if you have a juvy you don't expect to hold together at 3 but is in form now... The last 2 years of the Jackpot for instance... 2008 Big Drama (Did fine at 3..) West Side Bernie (Did OK at 3; sold to Godolphin..) Stimulus Plus (What happened to him?) Retap (Who knows...) Terrain (Dead) Skipadate (Never materialized) Valid Message Trinity Magic Three PartHarmony 2007 Z Humor (Wasted talent ruined by Zayat/Sobhy Sonbol) Turf War (Never much horse thereafter) Golden Yank.. (A personal favorite that turned out OK long term) Racecar Rhapsody (Moscow Derby?) Overextended (!!!) St. Joe Cave's Valley (Won a race or two but wasn't what Trombetta hoped for..) Betatron Take the Money Cudjo 2008 Princess (Kind of interesting... Gifts, Jenda and Silk have been OK..) Four Gifts C. S. Silk Smokin Again Loveyou Everybody Just Jenda Seacrettina Phoenician Moon Southern Yankee Garter Belt

Isn't it a trainers job to point to a race where they have a shot to win when their horse is in form? Money grab? Sorry, but this is confusing.

The race has produced Outta Here, Texcess, Fire Slam, Big Drama, Terrain, Mr. Jester, Freesgood, all Grade 3 types for the most part. Not seeing what big time horses have been ruined or suckered into running because of greed. |

Woman Soldier Truth and Justice Quiet Temper |

I can't even comprehend this statement. What about the fact earnings for the Derby?? I don't think Mott, or Casse would agree with you. The 2007 contest has to be the best race of the year. Have you really looked at the history of this race, other than the Zayat bash.? I don't think Bill Mott would send out a money grabber, but would look at 1/1/4 in May as a step stone here. The Hopeful Stakes is a bigger Fake of 2 year olds. Most are never heard from again. You can't be serious Last edited by MisterB : 12-01-2009 at 07:03 PM. |

The Test is for three-year-old fillies.

The Delta Jackpot.
As it happens I was a real fan of Outta Here, Texcess and Z Humor, so don't get me wrong... But the Jackpot is a gimmick race on a gimmick racetrack. 2008 Big Drama 2007 Z Humor & Turf War (DH) 2006 Birdbirdistheword 2005 no race 2004 Texcess 2003 Mr Jester 2002 Outta Here
