Fishers Dixiana homebred victor in the 1943 renewal of the Louisiana Derby, visited the Fair Grounds track this morning and was breezed an easy five furlongs in 1:03%. Trainer Jack Hodgins supervised the work and Jockey Don Scurlock was at the reins on the son of Pilate — Red Sunset. A. G. Wilson, conditioner of Lieut. Theo dore D. Buhls contingent, sent Sweep Swinger and Tomluta out together and the pair went six furlongs in 1:15, handily. Another outstanding performer, Darby Dan Farms Bless Me, went five furlongs in l:02y5, breezing, and the trial was particularly satisfying to trainer Jack Long. Three Percent, representative of J.
