Check out my Thursday (12-5-24) Fair Grounds Race 8 analysis below.

FG 8 (Alw-59k/1x, 6f dirt) – Post Time 5:15 PM ET
Primary – #1 CAPER’S HOOLEY, #4 Over and Ollie
Secondary – #3 Comanche Warrior

Horse Comments:

#1 Caper’s Hooley (4-1) is a lightly raced 3-year-old gelding and he improved his speed ratings in all four starts. He set the pace in his two good efforts and should make his presence felt from the outset. 

#4 Over and Ollie (7-2) turns back for solid shipping trainer Al Stall Jr. and recent hot rider Jose Ortiz takes the call. He owns competitive speed ratings and projects a stalking trip. 

#3 Comanche Warrior (4-1) had his 3-race win streak snapped at Evangeline Downs in a runner-up finish ad the favorite behind a romping winner Aug. 9. He has won at Fair grounds before and I like his early-pressing versatility.
