Harrah's Louisiana Downs has announced a Racing Hall of Fame, designed to honor those who have made a lasting impact in the history of the Bossier City-area racetrack. The first inductees, who will be officially inducted in a ceremony July 13, include John Franks (owner); Frank Brothers and C.W. Walker (trainers); Edward J. DeBartolo, Sr. (contributor); Ronald Ardoin and Larry Snyder (jockeys); and Sunday Silence and Free Spirits Joy (horses).
“The history of Harrah's Louisiana Downs is truly remarkable,” said Eric Halstrom, the vice president of operations. “We wanted to honor the many exceptional racing champions and people who have contributed both to the history of our racetrack and made an impact on the national racing industry.”
