Luck belongs to a young generation more carefully weighing the dangers of the game against the financial rewards.

Torres, a 22-year-old infielder, has put up impressive power numbers while avoiding the injuries that befell so many of his teammates.

We went behind the scenes to examine how Scott Satterfield plans to turn things around at Louisville football.        

The 2018 season was Kentucky football's best in 40 years, but Mark Stoops rebuilding project offers hope for more success moving forward.        

The Indianapolis Colts don't necessarily have to switch into rebuilding mode without Andrew Luck. They just need the right QB to step in.

Hi friends, More than once we have proposed a thread to assist with Excel questions, and template and model issues. It's long past time to do it. What can we help you with ? I do mean "we" ... I know a few things ... others will know many other things.

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?

Driver Andrew McCarthy pushed Dancin Lou to the lead through a quick tempo and widened his advantage through the stretch to win the faster of two $30,000 Kentucky Sire Stakes (KYSS) second preliminary divisions for 3-year-old male pacers on Sunday, Aug. 25 at The Red Mile.

Bare Back Jack scored a narrow win over Shanghai Mike in the $56,900 Birdcatcher Stakes for 2-year-olds at Century Mile Sunday. The Birdcatcher was the last two stakes run at the inaugural Century Mile meet, which closes Monday.

Multiple Grade 1 winner Mitole will stand at Spendthrift Farm in 2020.

Canvasback Farms' homebred Alnilah missed the break of the CA$145,000 (US$109,156) Seaway Stakes Aug. 25, but that didn't keep the 5-year-old Smart Strike mare from rallying down Woodbine's Tapeta course to score her first stakes victory.

With a last-to-first move, Front Run the Fed ran down classic contender Bourbon War under a hand ride to score a half-length victory in the $100,000 Better Talk Now Stakes Aug. 25 at Saratoga Race Course.

After Code of Honor added some clarity to the leadership question in the 3-year-old male division by winning the Runhappy Travers Stakes (G1), it was clear that it will likely come down to the Breeders' Cup to make the final decision.
