Horse Racing in Louisiana
Shelby Kadrovich
Horse racing in Louisiana has brought more than entertainment and gambling to our state. Louisiana is home to four tracks located in the north, central, south western and south eastern parts of our state, all tracks being home to quarter horse and thoroughbred racing. Louisiana is home to Louisiana Downs of Shreveport, Evangeline Downs of Opelousas, Delta Downs of Vinton, and The Fair Grounds Course of New Orleans. The racing industry has changed over time but still harbors the same basic principles. I will show what our state has to offer in the race horse world and how competitive Louisiana horse racing industry is with other states. Not only has Louisiana made legends on the track and in the barns, but it has been a hot stop for Hollywood film sites in the recent years.
