Walker returning to Louisiana Downs

Jockey Bobby Walker Jr. will be based at Louisiana Downs for the first time in more than a decade later this month, when he moves his tack to the track following the close of the Lone Star Park meet July 10. Walker had annually been one of the top riders in Bossier City, La.

“I won my first career race at Louisiana Downs, and my 2,000th win was at Louisiana Downs,” he said. “I grew up about 85 miles down the road from there, in West Monroe.”
