@DailyRacingForm @santaanitapark 🤔

100 Beyer for So Happy in the @santaanitapark Derby.

Sources: UNC offered Tommy Lloyd a top-two contract in CBB. Lloyd took less to stay, but will still bump up to $7.2 million starting next season. Staff pool also will get a huge bump + incentives brought back to their contract structures. He'll also no longer report to the AD.

Spring has sprung - Happy Opening Day!

@DailyRacingForm @DRFHegarty The ban on the stallion cap is so greedy. It extends the stallion’s career and stimulates the breeding economy, but let’s speculate where the 2 biggest stallion ops are in all this.

"Kentucky legislature approves fixed-odds betting, ban on stallion cap" @DRFHegarty has the details. drf.com/news/kentucky-…

@DailyRacingForm @DRFGrening Really rough year for Keeneland’s premier race.

"Class President scratched out of Blue Grass" @DRFGrening has the news. drf.com/news/class-pre…

Class President will scratch from Blue Grass Stakes, per @PletcherRacing. "Just didn't like the way he went today. Not saying he's off the Derby trail. We'll check him out."

Never forget that time back in 2009 when Pitino got word that Kentucky was planning on hiring John Calipari, leading Pitino to steal the Kentucky job back from Calipari before ultimately deciding to stay at Louisville. Rick Pitino will FOREVER own John Calipari. 🤫🤫🤫 #SJUBB

“Bob’s Burgers” voice actor Eugene Mirman was hospitalized with “serious injuries” on Tuesday after he was rescued from a fiery car crash. A rep for Mirman told Variety: “Eugene was in a very scary car accident. He wants to thank the bystanders, state police, first responders and hospital staff who saved him. He is grateful to be on the mend. At this time, we kindly ask for privacy for Eugene and his family as he focuses on recovering from his injuries.” variety.com/2026/tv/news/b…

Kansas coach Bill Self is returning to the sideline for the 2026-27 season, he announced, saying he remains “focused and committed to Kansas.” The decision comes more than a week after he said he’d discuss his coaching future with his family in the wake of health concerns.

JUST IN: 'Bob’s Burgers' actor Eugene Murman was rushed to the hospital in serious condition after a fiery crash. New Hampshire Gov. Kelley Ayotte's security detail, along with witnesses, helped pull Murman out of the car's window.

@GolfDigest Good.

Pat McAfee revealed he made multiple attempts to host his show at the Masters. Read more: glfdig.st/KF7750YBZm4

As expected, the NCAA DI Cabinet approved one of the strictest measures in recent history: Those schools that add and then play an athlete in any sport outside of the portal window will incur (1) a half-season suspension of head coach and (2) a fine of 20% of that sport's budget.

@Sports_Kings_ Also a slim chance for Kyrie Irving, Austin Rivers, Jabari Parker, Zion Williamson, and Cooper Flagg. Optimism’s high👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

that Boozer's statement was most likely a "heat of the moment, emotional response". While the odds are that he enters the NBA draft , there is a slim possibility that he could return to Duke.

Last last night received messages from 2 different sources that Cam Boozer stated (most likely to his teammates) that he wants to return to Duke. Checked with a very reliable source today that tells me, he was told the same thing & that he believes it to be true. I'm also told,

@WesDurham @accnetwork It matters how we finish. Our achilles heel 2 years running.

Duke won 35 games this season. They lost but 3 games… Two of those on last second shots… By a grand total of 5 points!! That is MADNESS!! @accnetwork

@theTDN @DarleyAmerica @BlueHeavenFarm Eh. We’ve done this dance before.

DANON BOURBON, a 3-year-old son of @DarleyAmerica’s Maxfield, is now a perfect 3-for-3 as he takes the Fukuryu Stakes, the final leg of the Japanese Road to the Kentucky Derby 🌹 Bred by @BlueHeavenFarm.

@EvanMiya He can very well exorcise the demons but closing out games is officially going to haunt Scheyer until he wins the big one.

Duke's last four losses: Led by 14 against Houston in the Final Four, lost Led by 17 against Texas Tech, lost Led by 13 against UNC, lost Led by 19 against UConn in the Elite 8, lost They only lost 4 games in a year, but all of them were from blown leads. Worst way to go out.

My hot take that’s not really a hot take: Jon Scheyer has underachieved more at Duke than Hubert Davis did at North Carolina.
