By My Standards a surprise winner of US$1M Louisiana Derby

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — By My Standards passed three horses down the stretch to win the US$1 million Louisiana Derby at the Fair Grounds Race course Saturday.
The winner went off at 22-1 in what is one of the major prep races for the Kentucky Derby, and galloped past Todd-Pletcher-trained Spinoff to win by nearly a length.
Trained by W. Bret Calhoun, By My Standards earned 100 points in the Road to the Kentucky Derby, assuring qualification for the Triple Crown opener. Jockey Gabriel Saez steered By My Standards into fourth entering the final turn and finished the 1 1/8-mile race in 1:49.2.
With John Velazquez aboard, Spinoff earned 40 points with a second-place finish with Sueno finishing third.
War of Will was the morning line favourite at 6-5 and went off at 4-6. But after settling in the middle of the pack, the winner of the previous two Fair Grounds prep races faded and finished ninth in what was the colt's first loss on a dirt track.
