Exaggerator Ends Hope for Triple Crown
Good Morning people! Hope that your weekend is going better than Nyquist's. Let's take a look at what happened yesterday and what we can look forward to today.
Exaggerator finally caught him. He beat Nyquist for the fist time in his five races. The defeat ends not only the hopes for a Triple Crown, but it is also Nyquist's first defeat. The track, as you can see in the picture, was very sloppy. The conditions favored Exaggerator, who had won three times on such tracks. Exaggerator is the first Preakness winner to win after finishing runner up in the Kentucky Derby since 1993 (Prairie Bayou). The Belmont Stakes will be on June 11th, if anyone still cares. People tend to forget about horse racing once the Triple Crown is out of the way.
Toronto Knocks Off Cleveland in Game 3
There was plenty of controversy, but Toronto welcomed Cleveland north of the border to a tune of 99-84. The loss for the Cavs makes the first defeat they have suffered in the post season. Their last loss? The Detroit Pistons on April 13th in the regular season finale. Dwayne Casey was very critical of the officials after the game, and he should have been. Looking at the stats, and highlights, you can't hardly blame him. Sure, the NBA officials are very biased towards certain players, but at this point, I'm beginning to believe that it extends to certain teams. Nonetheless, Toronto has cut the series lead into and look to tie it up tomorrow in Game 4.
Looking to tonight, the Western Conference Finals moves to Oklahoma City. After a surprise Game 1 win, OKC will come home with the series tied looking to take an advantage. Tip is at 8 PM.
Sunday Night Baseball should be a good one tonight. Kyle Hendricks faces off against Madison Bumgarner in the Bay Area as two division leading teams face off. The Cubs own the best record in baseball, while the Giants own the second best in the National League. First pitch is at 8:00.
That is all that I have today. Check back later. Someone might have something else to say. Until then, later!
