Harrah's Louisiana Downs was built in 1974 and rapidly ascended to the top of the racing industry. Located in Bossier City, Louisiana, minutes from Texas and Arkansas, Louisiana Downs offers world-class thoroughbred horse racing from May through October. The racetrack is synonymous with The Super Derby, the premiere race of the meet for 3-year-olds. The grade two has quickly established itself as one of the premiere preps for the Breeders' Cup Classic, North America's richest horse race.
