While the Louisiana Derby (G2) is the marquee race on Saturday's program at Fair Grounds, the marquee horse competing on the card is reigning three-year-old colt champion Sierra Leone.

Brilliant Berti regained top honors in Sunday’s Gun Runner S. at Kentucky Downs, and promising juveniles Tiztastic, May Day Ready, and Kilwin scored their first stakes victories.

Amerman Racing’s Trikari exploded down the stretch in Sunday’s $500,000 Secretariat (G2), joining sire Oscar Performance (2017) and paternal grandsire Kitten’s Joy (2004) on the race’s honor roll.
