Angus Lind Booksigning--Saturday, November 14...Beloved former Times-Picayune columnist (and devoted horseracing fan) Angus Lind signs copies of his new book Prime Angus, a collection of his favorite columns from a 32-year career in New Orleans newspapers. A portion of the proceeds from every book sold will benefit the Permanently Disabled Riders Fund. Also, Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots will match the amount raised by Angus.

Join us for live racing on Thanksgiving Day, whether it's for a full Thanksgiving meal in the Clubhouse or oysters by the paddock or a Corned Beef Po-By in the Grandstand.
