In 1852 the first horse race was held at the Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans, Louisiana. At that time it was known as the Union Course. The track has been updated during the years and is now a very popular place for both horse owners and fans.

How many cities in Louisiana have a population over 500000?

There are NO Louisiana cities with a population greater than 500,000. At the last census (2000) New Orleans had a population of 484,674. But that was before Hurricane Katrina and the flow of people away from New Orleans. The most recent estimate for New Orleans (made in 2008) was just 311,853. In the 2000 census, Baton Rouge had a population of 227,818. Cities are of course different to Metropolitan areas (aka conurbations).

This includes New Orleans, Jefferson, Plaquemines, St Bernard, St Tammany, St Charles, St John the baptist & Washington parishes.
