Special Blessing

Top Louisiana-breds will be in the spotlight at Evangeline Downs May 25 for Louisiana Legends Night. The annual celebration will feature a 10-race program with the first post time set for 5:50 p.m. CT.

There will be eight stakes races (counting two starter stakes) on the card including the $75,000 Turf Distaff where 3-1 morning-line favorite Special Blessing will try to secure another stakes win after taking the $75,000 Evangeline Downs Distaff April 26. Coteau Grove Farms' Special Blessing, a 4-year-old daughter of Flat Out , has a 5-2-0 record, including two stakes wins, from a dozen starts.

Special Blessing is not the only 2019 stakes winner entered for Legends Night. Ricky Courville's Fortune Got Even, by Stephen Got Even, won the $75,000 Equine Sales Oaks May 3 and is 7-2 in the Soiree, for 3-year-old fillies going one mile; and William T. Reed's Power Jet took the $75,000 Equine Sales Derby May 4 and is 9-2 in the Cheval Stakes, for 3-year-olds at one mile.

Special Blessing and Power Jet are both trained by Bret Calhoun.
