#BREAKING - The Canadian Press has learned Ontario's payout to Elon Musk's SpaceX over a cancelled Starlink contract will remain a secret. Premier Ford's office tells CP the kill fee is ``Significantly less than the contract value'' which was $100-million, but that the amount could not be revealed due to the confidential settlement.

Repost this tweet if you're excited for Turf Champions Day

Stephan Jaeger ties the Detroit Golf Club 18-hole scoring record with a 9-under 63 (ninth occasion; third of the week following Andrew Landry in the second round and Adam Hadwin in the third round).

@tommyhammer @JJL_Sports @WoodbineTB Yes we will have a bar and wagering terminals down on the apron adjacent to the new suites for this weekend and the rest of the weekends throughout the summer

@JJL_Sports @WoodbineTB hopefully there will be wagering , food n beverage sales on the apron. having hundreds of people mostly newbies go up two flights for either is insanity or ineptness

The "Overnight" is out for racing at @WoodbineTB this Saturday and the racing is fantastic with full fields and quality races all day long. Come experience everything Woodbine has to offer, including world class horse racing.

For followers in Toronto who haven’t been to @WoodbineTB yet or in a while, highly recommend this Saturday. A loaded day of excellent racing

@SeanFitz_Gerald One of the best writers and storytellers I have had the pleasure of working with. No doubt some organization is going to acquire a really solid free agent soon...

Many smart, talented journalists have been laid off by The Athletic today. And, also, me. It was a wonderful adventure of almost seven years, from being one of the first dozen or so hires the founders made in 2016 all the way up to today. Thank you for reading along.

I appreciate I am a tad biased, but if you haven’t checked out our new patio @WoodbineTB Racetrack I highly recommend it! Great food and epic views of our racetracks and Toronto. Media DM if you are interested - we would love to host you

@DanonymousMan It’s pretty awesome. The chills….

Be honest. How many times have you watched this? 😂 Easily 80x for me.

@AHBSeaborn Well, that’s not entirely accurate. You can wager on the Derby through HPIbet.com and the Dark Horse Bets app. But correct - not currently through licensed Ontario sports books - something @WoodbineTB is hard at work on

Reminder 🇨🇦 If you live in Ontario you will not be able to wager on the Kentucky Derby tomorrow on your phone. Horse Racing is federally regulated and the new Ontario legislation prohibits books from offering horse racing
