Super Derby
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Super Derby is a race for thoroughbred horses held every year at Louisiana Downs in Bossier City, Louisiana. The Derby is open to 3-year-olds and the distance is 1 1/8 miles on the dirt. A Grade II event, it's the richest race held at Louisiana Downs.
This race began in October of 1980 with a win by Temperence Hill, who was that year's Belmont Stakes winner. Tiznow, Sunday Silence and Alysheba have won the Super Derby.
The Super Derby is announced by Harrah's Louisiana Downs track announcer Travis Stone.
