Forte placed on KY veterinary list, clouding Preakness plans

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:47:33 GMT

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky racing officials have placed scratched Kentucky Derby favorite Forte on a mandatory 14-day veterinary list that may require the colt to pass a soundness test in Maryland in order to race in the Preakness.The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission announced the update on Monday, two days after its veterinarians scratched the early 3-1 choice hours ahead of the Derby during a morning soundness check because of concerns about a bruised right foot. A KHRC release cited HISA Rule 2241a in placing Forte on the list and stated that the Todd Pletcher-trained colt must perform a “satisfactory workout” for a state veterinarian and have a negative blood sample to be removed.That means Maryland veterinarians may need to be convinced that Forte is able to race in the second jewel of racing’s Triple Crown on May 20 in Baltimore. Medina Spirit failed a post-race drug test after winning the 2021 Kentucky Derby and had to meet a similar requirement to compete in the P...

Nuggets search for answers after dropping 2 straight to Suns

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:47:33 GMT

DENVER (AP) — Kevin Durant and Devin Booker needed just a little bit more offensive help, someone to take just the tiniest bit of pressure off Phoenix’s high-scoring tandem.Along came Landry Shamet, who elevated his game — five 3-pointers, 19 points — as the Suns equalized the second-round series at 2-2 against the Denver Nuggets. It’s the X-factors who are helping swing a series that moves back to the Mile High City for Game 5 on Tuesday night. Philadelphia also plays at Boston with that series tied at 2-all.Durant and Booker are simply doing what stars do — shine. Same with the Nuggets in Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic, whose 53-point performance in a 129-124 loss Sunday was overshadowed by a sideline fracas with Suns owner Mat Ishbia (Jokic drew a $25,000 fine from the league for making improper contact).Shamet certainly stepped up for Phoenix in Game 4. The contest before, it was Cameron Payne who started in place of the injured Chris Paul and scored seven points, including...

A new era may be coming for the Boston Marathon as the owners of the iconic former official marathon dog, Spencer, welcome home a new puppy named “Jimmy.” Jimmy arrived thanks to a therapy dog group. Speaking with 7NEWS, Rich Powers said Jimmy couldn’t have come at a better time for the family. “He’s pretty smart and he’s very eager to please,” Powers said. “He’s a good looking boy.”Spencer and fellow golden retreiver Penny were two beloved mascots who had encouraged thousands of runners along the Boston Marathon route since 2014 until early this year. Spencer passed away in February.

Robbins: Charlie the Golden head of the class for social support

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:47:33 GMT

Charlie is a seven-year-old Golden Retriever who knows there’s something different about Tuesdays. For starters, her dog walker comes earlier than usual, and deposits Charlie back home by early afternoon. A bag appears out of the closet, and Charlie’s favorite stuffed animal is placed in it, along with a sandwich bag full of dog treats and an empty water bowl. Charlie knows something’s up, and knows what that something is. When her owner calls her name, Charlie is on her feet, barreling down the stairs, out the front door and toward the car which she remembers will transport her an hour south on the highway to a parking lot two blocks from the political science department of a New England university.She knows the drill. There is a university security guy who must have had a Golden as a boy, because he waits for her every week, and before the hatchback is open he is out of his car and heading over, calling “Charlie! I missed you!” The fellow just turned 50, but you’d never know it by...
