all in Triple Crown

Action during the upcoming weekend on the North American horse racing calendar focuses squarely on New Orleans, where on Saturday, Jan. 20, Fair Grounds will host the second of its four qualifying points races for the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve, the Lecomte Stakes.

The Grade 3, $200,000 Lecomte Stakes Saturday at Fair Grounds brings together a field of eight hoping to earn points on the Road to the 2024 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve, not to mention snag the $120,000 winner’s share of the purse.

The Road to Louisville stretches into New Orleans on Saturday as the Lecomte Stakes kicks off a slate of three Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve prep races in 2024 for 3-year-olds at Fair Grounds.

The Louisiana path to the 2024 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve resumes this Saturday, with the running of the Grade 3 Lecomte Stakes. The Lecomte will be run at its customary 1 1/16-mile distance and will have a purse of $200,000 in 2024.
