As we close down our penultimate week of racing here at the Fair Grounds, I don't like to toot my own horn but I have a reason to crow.

After a six-win Saturday, I'm a smiling. In four years of providing picks from the Fair Grounds for sportsnola.com, I have surpassed the 200-win mark for each year. This success comes wiithout the benefit of a racing form or program. I use the race replays to guide me. So make of it what you will.

After that big day on Saturday, let's go for more. Here now is my look at how I see the Sunday slate playing out.

That is it for this week of racing. I will be one busy person this week as I get you set for our final yet biggest weekend of racing here at the Fair Grounds. We will present one more Starlight card on Friday which starts in the afternoon as we have 18 races to present. Of course on Saturday and Sunday it all culminates in a smorgasbord of stakes action as we have the Fair Grounds Oaks, Louisnana Derby, New Orleans Handicap and many more top notch races. I cannot wait and until next time as always may your winners be plentiful and your wallets be fat..
