Dear Charles:
Hurricane Laura struck southwest Louisiana on Thursday morning August 27, 2020 causing massive amounts of destruction and damage. Unfortunately, Delta Downs race track suffered significant damage as well. Two days prior to the storm making landfall, attempts were made by the LAHBPA to relocate approximately 700 quarter horses and their caretakers that were located at Delta Downs to Fair Grounds. This attempt was unsuccessful. As a result, these horses and their caretakers endured the storm at Delta Downs which fortunately did not result in loss of life to horses or people.
At first opportunity following landfall, Delta Downs management advised the LAHBPA that
