Louisiana Downs Race 1 Pick: Jivin Astro 6/1
Okay, I know the pick that I have listed here is on the rail and also has not run in 2022, but if you look at the workouts the average speed seems to be slightly more consistent and also the added rest with no races so far definitely plays a factor as well. Not to mention at 3 years old the horse is younger and should definitely have a good run here, which is why I think Jivin Astro will win the first race of the day at Louisiana Downs.
