FRIESAN FIRE
Lou Hodges Jr. | FRIESAN FIRE WINS LOUISIANA HANDICAP | | FRIESAN FIRE took the field wire-to-wire to score an impressive win in the Louisiana Handicap going
a mile and one-sixteenth over the fast main track at Fair Grounds.
In possession of plenty of natural speed, FRIESAN FIRE galloped away from the gate and took up the
running. He settled into a steady rhythm under a firm hold from jockey Shaun Bridgmohan down the
backstretch and around the far turn. Nearing the top of the stretch, some serious challengers emerged from
the pack, but he quickly changed their minds.
