Judge is the 13th Yankee on the club’s I.L. But the banged-up team got its fifth win in six games with an extra-inning victory over the Royals.

With a strong performance against Indiana, Boston suddenly looks like the team many predicted would roll through the East. Can the Celtics sustain it against the Bucks?

The group of trainers who regularly make the Kentucky Derby has become an annual, exclusive club that is insanely difficult for others to crack.         

Anthony Bass isn't surprised to be back at Triple-A despite a solid 16-game stint for the Chicago Cubs a year ago. But he hopes to be in the MLB soon.         

Omaha Beach, the Arkansas Derby winner and likely favorite for the Kentucky Derby suffered a quarter crack February at Santa Anita Park.         

It looks like rackmaster Data has increased. Ala Carte was $2.00 now I see $2.75 1 month also increased as has unlimited. Puts a damper on it for me. Is this for RDSS downloads too? Chuck

Here are my horse-by-horse thoughts on all 10 stakes races at Belmont Saturday...

A tribute in memory of legendary writer Bill Nack.

This is just a little post to let people know that all my tournament content will now be appearing in a new place.

In the final episode of the DRF Players’ Podcast (the TBD Players’ Podcast will commence in another place next week), PTF and JK host the first ever Podcast Holiday Quiz. Joined by special guests Matt Scarlata, Drew Coatney, and Gene Menez, they review some of the sometimes sublime but always ridiculous history of the show.

Special guest Richard Migliore joins Peter Thomas Fornatale to talk about his life in racing. Topics include what horsemen and horseplayers can learn from each other, and how today's riding culture is different from when Migliore was riding. Plus, what does a dieting jockey eat for dessert?

Tyler Buter recorded the 3,000th driving victory of his career during a special Easter Sunday twilight card at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono. Buter rallied Daddy Let Me Drive into a 28 1/5 last quarter, closing furiously in the last sixteenth to be up right on the money.

The six-week purse increase that takes effect at Santa Anita on Friday will cost approximately $1.5 million and is intended to boost fields at a time when the track’s barn area is well short of capacity.

Following a two-day delay, the under tack show for the Ocala Breeders' Sales Spring Sale of 2-Year-Olds in Training concluded Easter Sunday, with a colt from the first crop of Fast Anna displaying his quick turn of foot while breezing a quarter-mile.

Sister Peacock and jockey Jesse Campbell led gate-to-wire in the $100,000 Star Shoot Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at Woodbine April 21, boosting her record to three wins from five starts. Her only two losses were both runner-up finishes.

Jockey Jake Olesiak and trainer David Anderson helped propel each other to milestone victories at Fonner Park April 20, with Olesiak riding his 1,000th winner and Anderson saddling his 2,000th.
