Slow Down Andy Earns First Grade 1, BC Classic Slot With Wire-To-Wire Awesome Again Victory

Breaking like a shot on wet-fast track, Reddam Racing’s homebred Slow Down Andy never did, taking eight rivals on a merry chase Saturday en route to a smashing 2 ¼-length triumph in Santa Anita’s Grade 1 Awesome Again Stakes, final steppingstone to the Grade 1, $6 million Breeders’ Cup Classic. Trained by Doug O’Neill and ridden by Mario Gutierrez, the 4-year-old California-bred colt by 2016 Kentucky Derby winner Nyquist got 1 1/8 miles in 1:47.62. A Breeders’ Cup “Win & You’re In” Challenge Race qualifier, Slow Down Andy now has a fees-paid berth into the Classic, which will be run for the […]

Team USA routs Greece to reach second round of FIBA World Cup

When coach Steve Kerr came to practice Sunday and saw some of his Team USA players were a little frustrated after a 27-point victory, he smiled. The first FIBA World Cup lesson had landed. That mood carried into Monday night, when the U.S. played a more focused, cleaner and overall better match in beating Greece 109-81 to move to 2-0 in the event. The win assures the U.S. will move on to the second round after its last pool play game Wednesday versus Jordan. “Really good effort from our guys,” Kerr said. “Our thought process every game is to wear […]

Schwarber hits 25th homer and winning sacrifice fly in 12th as Phillies beat Padres 7-6

Kyle Schwarber hit his 25th home run and ended the match with a 12th-inning sacrifice fly, giving the Philadelphia Phillies a 7-6 victory over the San Diego Padres on Sunday. The defending NL champions won three games in a row over the Padres on the heels of a three-game losing skid, including a series-opening loss to San Diego to start the second half. The Padres, who lost in the NLCS to the Phillies last fall, dropped to 44-50, including 19-27 on the road. Philadelphia (51-42) overcame a 3-0 deficit, then wasted a 5-3 lead when pinch-hitter Fernando Tatis Jr. had a two-run single in the eighth […]

‘If He’s Ready, He’ll Run’: Casa Creed To Point For Fourstardave Repeat

LRE Racing and JEH Racing Stable’s 7-year-old multiple Grade 1 winner Casa Creed proved he is still at the top of his game with a one-length score over Grade 1 winner Annapolis in Saturday’s Kelso (G3) at Saratoga Race Course. Trained by Hall of Famer Bill Mott, the Jimmy Creed bay got his third graded victory traveling one-mile over the Spa’s inner turf, adding to scores in the 2019 National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame (G2) and last year’s Fourstardave Handicap (G1). It’s fitting that the evergreen Casa Creed will now point to a title defense in the $500,000 Fourstardave Handicap […]

Paredes and Díaz homer as Rays stop seven-game skid with 10-4 win over Braves

Isaac Paredes and Yandy Díaz homered as the Tampa Bay Rays snapped a season-high, seven-game skid with a 10-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday in a matchup of teams with the best records in baseball. Zach Eflin (10-4) gave up two runs and four hits over five innings in a 77-pitch outing as Tampa Bay avoided the three-game series sweep. The 29-year-old righty is 9-1 in 10 starts at home. “It’s a day we kind of needed a win,” Eflin said. “Get right back on track. Take that momentum into the break.” Travis d’Arnaud homered for the MLB-best Braves, who are 20-3 since June 14 […]

Giants extend winning streak to 10, longest since 2004, with 4-2 victory over Padres

Sean Hjelle pitched four shutout innings of relief to help the San Francisco Giants extend their winning streak to 10 matches, defeating Yu Darvish and the San Diego Padres 4-2 on Wednesday night. Joc Pederson and Mike Yastrzemski added RBI singles, and the Giants turned four double plays to keep their longest win streak since 2004 intact. San Francisco also benefited from an overturned call at home plate in the fifth. Blake Sabol of the Giants appeared to be thrown out sliding into home by a strong throw from Fernando Tatis Jr. on Pederson’s two-out single to right. Sabol was initially ruled out but the call was challenged by San Francisco […]

Nuggets take home 1st NBA title in rugged 94-89 win over Heat

Confetti flying in Denver. The Nuggets sharing hugs while passing around the NBA championship trophy. Those scenes that, for almost a half-century, seemed impossible, then more recently started feeling inevitable, finally turned into reality Monday night. The Nuggets outlasted the Miami Heat 94-89 in an ugly, frantic Game 5 that did nothing to derail Nikola Jokic, who bailed out his teammates with 28 points and 16 rebounds on a night when nothing else seemed to work. Jokic became the first player in history to lead the league in points (600), rebounds (269) and assists (190) in a single postseason. Not surprisingly, he acquired […]

Belmont Stakes 2023: Red Route One posts 1st local breeze

Red Route One posted a half-mile breeze in 50.85 seconds over the Belmont Park main track Monday in preparation for Belmont Stakes 2023 on June 10 over Big Sandy.

New York Racing Association clockers caught him galloping out five furlongs in 1:04.0. Toby Sheets, Asmussen’s Belmont-based assistant, stated the work went well. “It was good,” said Sheets. “He seems like he got something out of it.” Looking for the best online betting site and Live betting?

Martinez’s 3-run shot lifts Dodgers over Padres 4-2, win 4th in row

Just off the injured list, J.D. Martinez made his presence felt with a big blast. He hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the first inning, Julio Urías tossed seven strong innings and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Diego Padres 4-2 on Saturday for their fourth consecutive victory. The NL West leaders earned their fifth consecutive series win and have won 17 of their last 20 at Dodger Stadium. Their 14-6 home record is tops in the division. The Dodgers stretched their lead to six games over the third-place Padres. “We got a chance to go for the jugular tomorrow and that’s our intent,” Dodgers manager Dave […]

Taylor Ward, Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani hit 3 straight HRs in win

Taylor Ward, Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani hit consecutive homers in the sixth inning, and the Los Angeles Angels hung on for a 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. Trout also had two doubles for the Angels, who managed only one hit in the first five innings versus Jordan Lyles (0-4) before the heart of their order unloaded on the Kansas City starter during a nine-pitch span. Ward’s drive into the short left-field porch was followed by Trout’s fifth homer of the year and Ohtani’s 415-foot blast to center for his own fifth homer. Los Angeles hadn’t hit back-to-back-to-back homers since June 8, 2019. “It was good to […]
