Jockey Rosie Napravnik was the star of Louisiana Champions Day at Fair Grounds on Saturday, winning three races including the featured $150,000 LCD Classic Stakes aboard Rebecca Farms and T.J. Dickey's Heavy on Themister. The Shawn David trainee was within a length of the pacesetter the entire race until the stretch where he drew clear by a length over Watch My Smoke.

Populist Politics, the 8-5 favorite, finished last in the field of 10.

"He ran such a game race," Napravnik said. "He is a really neat horse and watching some of his past races he just puts out every time and it was a very game effort. Thanks to Shawn for having me up today and to all off the connections."

The chestnut gelding stopped the teletimer in 1:51 in the 1 1/8-mile contest over the fast main track. The son of Lion Tamer captured his second stakes win of his career and in doing so increased his lifetime earnings to $282,050 from a line of 14-5-4-1.

"She hurt her foot in the trailer," Johnston said. "It was the balls of her feet she hurt so it took us a while to get her right. She was going to Delta, the time when she got beat 27 lengths (February 2011). She hurt herself and we didn't even know it and we actually thought she broke down in the race. Rosie was on her. We had to let the foot just about completely grow out so she took about a year off and her she's back and doing good.

"She is going to Delta to run in the Delta Ladies up there and we will take another shot at that. Then whatever comes available here. If nothing, then we will just rest her."

Ladyzarbridge, who was capturing her fourth career stakes win, now has a career line which reads 21-7-2-4, $355,184.

Charlie Smith's homebred String King defended his title in the $100,000 LCD Turf Stakes. The 3-5 favorite came from off the pace and closed fast in the stretch for a one length victory. The four-year-old gelding covered about 1 1/16 miles over the yielding turf in 1:45 4/5 with James Graham aboard.

"I don't know that we'll go in the next one but we may try and go in the Costa Rising on the main track a little bit later during the year." Smith said.

String King was exiting a stakes win over the local turf course in the Mr. Sulu on Thanksgiving Day. With back-to-back stakes victories, the bay gelding boosted his bankroll to $324,052 and his record stands at 19-8-3-2.

In the companion race to the Lassie Stakes, Robbie Norman's Hero Force was victorious in the $100,000 LCD Juvenile Stakes for colts and geldings. The Bret Calhoun trainee wired the field in the six-furlong contest in a time of 1:11 3/5 with Napravnik aboard. Hero Force's record improved to 4-2-1-1, $93,710.

Thomas Calvin's Su Casa G Casa turned in a mild upset of the $100,000 LCD Sprint Stakes as 3-5 favorite and defending champion Amanecer de Oro ran third. The Calhoun-trained four-year-old gelding was ridden to victory by Miguel Mena in a time of 1:11 for six furlongs. Now a five-time stakes winner, including two Champions Day events, his record now stands at 13-5-4-0, $399,973.

Coteau Grove Farms' Harlie's Dreams was the victress in the $100,000 LCD Ladies Sprint Stakes with Diego Saenz aboard. The five-year-old mare, who is trained by Patrick Devereux Jr., prevailed by a half-length in a time of 1:11 1/5 for six furlongs. Speedacious, the 1-2 favorite and defending champion, trailed the field of nine.

Victorious in the 2011 Champions Day Ladies in her only other stakes triumph, Harlie's Dream now boasts a mark of 24-6-8-5, $348,488.
