The entries were taken and the post positions drawn this morning for Delta Downs Racetrack Casino and Hotel’s richest program of the year, which will take place this Friday.
The big evening features two grade III stakes, six stakes overall, and more than $1.5 million in total purse money. The headliner will be Boyd Gaming’s Delta Jackpot Stakes (gr. III) at $750,000 for 2-year-olds, which will go as race 8 on an 11-race card. The 1 1/16-mile showdown drew a full field of 10 headed by 5-2 morning line favorite Terrain. The Albert Stall Jr. trainee will break from post position 2 under jockey Jamie Theriot.
Terrain most recently finished fourth to winner Midshipman in the Bessemer Trust Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (gr. I) at Oak Tree at Santa Anita.
In addition to the Jackpot and Princess, Delta Downs will also host four other stakes races on Friday. including the $100,000 Delta Mile going as race two; the $100,000 Treasure Chest, carded as race four; the $50,000 Sam’s Town, taking place in the fifth; and the $50,000 Orleans, which will be run between the graded activity as race seven.
