Kicking off the stakes action on Louisiana Derby day was the $200,000 Duncan F. Kenner Stakes for older horses. A field of just 5 started, after two were scratched. Undefeated 6-5 favorite Euroears stalked the early pace of 7-2 Semaphore Man of 22.13 and 45.66, then took over the lead at the 3/16 pole, drawing off to win by 3 1/4 lengths in 1:09.27, improving his record to a perfect 6 for 6. It was another 2 lengths back from Semaphore Man to 3-1 second choice Noonmark in third.
