While Old Fashioned was beaten by a 56/1 rank outsider and suffered a severe setback to his Kentucky Derby hopes, his stablemate Friesan Fire still left trainer Larry Jones with a smile on his face.

Friesan Fire suffered no such stage fright and duly landed the Louisiana Derby at Fair Grounds on a sloppy track. Friesan fire stormed up the Kentucky Derby betting after his seven length victory and is now a general 12/1 chance for Churchill Downs.

The form looks good as the second horse, Papa Clem, had only been narrowly beaten by Pioneerof The Nile in his prior run.
