Despite the window closing Wednesday, Chris Beard and Co., are keen on adding more to its already Top 10 transfer class. Ole Miss has added plenty of blue chips to a team which won 20 games in year one. But, the staff would be the first to tell you the season did not end well at all. The team struggled down the stretch and ended up missing out on the NCAA Tournament. Now, Beard is looking to revamp Ole Miss’ roster which returns starters Jaylen Murray and Jaemyn Brakefield.

I cherish my friendship with Nick Roush, I really do. We both grew up in the south end of Louisville and obviously we are fans of the same team. And yes, I laid the groundwork for him to become the star he has become on this site. But despite that, I still view him as an equal. Nonetheless, I feel that friendship might just come to an end today. I have never seen somebody ride so hard for an event as Roush rides for the Kentucky Derby. And quite frankly, I don’t get it. I find that the Kentucky Derby has become one of the most overrated sporting events in this country. NOT WHAT IT USED TO BEI ...

If the name fits… Rich Strike, an 80-1 longshot, won the 148th running of the Kentucky Derby Saturday evening. In doing so, he collected a purse payout of $1.86 million. If the name doesn’t ring any bells, it shouldn’t. The horse wasn’t even supposed to run, but an injury to Ethereal Road forced its hand. Rich Strike, in 17th place in the final turn, began accelerating through the pack—cutting to the inside down the final stretch. The favorites Epicenter (second) and Zandon (third) battled as Rich Strike dashed to victory. Rich Strike’s owner, Rick Dawson, found out the horse would be running ...

Kentucky Horse Racing Commission (KHRC) officials Monday stripped late thoroughbred Medina Spiritof its 2021 Kentucky Derby victory and suspended its Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert for 90 days and fined him $7,500. The nearly year-long drama concludes after a recent hearing before a three-member panel of KHRC stewards, which ended with the ruling that Medina Spirit—who died in December at Santa Anita Park (Calif.)—is DQ’d after a positive test for a banned corticosteroid (betamethasone) after last year’s Derby. Betamethasone is commonly used to reduce swelling and pain. “Medina Spirit is dis...

The 147th running of the Kentucky Derby took place last weekend, returning a year after the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily halted the event last year. However, the return is not without its controversy. According to the Ashbury Park Press, many of the nation’s top trainers took full advantage of the federal government’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), with 14 trainers receiving a combined $7.4 million from the program. The $649 billion program was originally designed to help struggling small businesses pay their employees. It remains unclear whether or not the trainers paid some or all of th...
