Fair Grounds standouts Just Might and Chess Chief were among the shining stars during Sunday's stakes-packed card at the New Orleans oval.

Before the inaugural Gun Runner S. and Untapable S. for aspiring Kentucky Derby (G1) and Oaks (G1) candidates, Fair Grounds will stage four stakes on the terrific Sunday, Dec. 26 card.

Speed reigned in both stakes on opening day at Fair Grounds, as Just Might wired the Thanksgiving Classic and front-running Breeze Rider fought back in the Joseph R. Peluso Memorial.

The historic New Orleans Fair Grounds will stage a pair of stakes during its Thursday kickoff. Joining the traditional opening-day feature, the Thanksgiving Classic, is the inaugural Joseph R. Peluso Memorial.
