Bryant, who died with his daughter Gianna in a helicopter crash on Sunday, was an unquestioned basketball great, but his legacy is not so straightforward.

Bryant, 41, who won five titles with the Los Angeles Lakers, was traveling with his 13-year-old daughter when they and seven other people perished in the crash.

Kobe Bryant, one of NBA's greatest players, died Sunday in helicopter crash in Calabasas, California, according a person with knowledge of situation.       

Six Louisville players scored in double figures, including four with 12 points, to lead the Cardinals to a win over Pitt.        

Samuell Williamson had one of his best games yet for Louisville basketball Saturday vs. Clemson, and he could be a key piece in March Madness.

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?

Dot Matrix won the most significant race of his career Sunday, when the Brad Cox trainee held off a charging pair of Mike Maker trainees for a three-quarter-length victory in the Grade 3, $200,000 John B. Connally Turf Cup at Sam Houston.

Storm the Court, the winner of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita in November, worked five furlongs in 1:00.60 at Santa Anita on Sunday, his first workout since he was named the champion 2-year-old male of 2019 in a ceremony in Florida last Thursday.

Nationwide, trainer Peter Miller won stakes with sprinters on Saturday – the $150,000 World of Trouble Turf Sprint with Texas Wedge at Gulfstream Park and the Grade 2 Palos Verdes Stakes with Captain Scotty at Santa Anita.

Ten Strike Racing's Dot Matrix was the 3-1 third choice behind Mike Maker's duo of Marzo and Bemma's Boy, but held off his closing rivals to win his first graded stakes in the $200,000 John B. Connally Turf Cup (G3T) Jan. 26 at Sam Houston Race Park.

Serengeti Empress led from the gate of the $300,000 Houston Ladies Classic (G3) at Sam Houston Race Park, but in the end she couldn't hold off the grinding effort of Phoenix Thoroughbreds and KatieRich Stables' Lady Apple.

Red Lane Thoroughbreds' Bodecream made the best of a quick pace up front in the inaugural $200,000 Texas Turf Mile Stakes and rallied to a clear victory at 9-1 Jan. 26 at Sam Houston Race Park.
