It's Acadiana's richest night of racing with over $800 thousand dollars in total purses up for grabs Saturday at Evangeline Downs.

It's amazing what two dollars and a little luck can get you in one night at Evangeline Downs.

It wasn't another triple dead heat but it was pretty spectacular. Another interesting night at Evangeline Downs has racing fans talking.

What happened at Evangeline Downs last night has never happened before and we've got the picture to prove it.

Live thoroughbred racing returns to Evangeline Downs tonight as the 84 day meet begins with first post at 5:40pm

The final night of live racing for the current meet is scheduled for this Saturday night. There will be four big money stakes races on the 11 race card.

After having to cancel Wednesday night's race card, Evangeline Downs Racetrack & Casino in Opelousas has announced that racing will resume tonight. Post time for the first race is 5:40pm tonight.

The Wednesday night race card will be made up at a later date.

It seems some lads were enjoying an afternoon at the races as part of a bachelor party. I am guessing there was drinking involved. I am also guessing that at least one member of the wedding party might have missed the ceremony due to grass stains in a private area or being arrested.

The benefit concert for the Boys & Girls Club of Opelousas is finally just about here. We want everyone to come out tonight to enjoy a night of fantastic live music for a great cause. Opening the show around 8:30pm will be Mike Dean followed by Acadiana's own Sammy Kershaw! Doors open at 7:30!
