In a sit-sprint race that turned out to be a tactical affair, Trikari (Oscar Performance), the lesser-preferred half of an uncoupled, Amerman Racing-owned entry with 8-5 second choice Endlessly (Oscar Performance), sat handy to a sluggish pace, engaged long-time leader White Palomino (Kitten's Joy) at the furlong grounds and just held off a late re-rally from the pace-advantaged front-runner to take Saturday's GI Belmont Derby Invitational Stakes at Aqueduct.

This catch is un-reel!

A monster 200-pound Atlantic sturgeon was netted in the Hudson River near the Big Apple by conservationists in a “scale”-tipping triumph.

Staffers from the Hudson River Estuary Program snagged the 6-foot fish last week with a net near Hyde Park, about 85 miles north of New York City.



The anglers scanned the critically endangered fish for tags before tossing it back into the water, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation said in a Facebook post.

There was a buzz around Newbury for The King and The Queen's newcomer Handcuffed (GB) (Dark Angel {Ire}–Make Fast {GB}, by Makfi {GB}) and the filly did not disappoint with a debut win full of promise. Sent off the well-backed 13-8 favourite for the six-furlong fillies' novice, the homebred half-sister to the G2 July Stakes winner Tactical (GB) (Toronado {Ire}) travelled easily in the pack until asked to close by Oisin Murphy passing halfway. Finding the front under hands and heels with half a furlong remaining, the Andrew Balding trainee asserted to beat the Sangster-owned fellow debutante Angelica Bay (Ire) (No Nay Never) by 1 1/2 lengths.

Virginia fans of The Young and the Restless have asked where Elena Dawson (Brytni Sarpy) has been. She has not been seen or mentioned in Genoa City for quite a while. There is nothing online about Sarpy's status, and Y&R spoilers for next week do not mention the character, so fans wonder if she has been let go.

5th-Ellis, $69,299, Msw, 7-6, 2yo, f, 5 1/2f, 1:04.93, ft, 3 1/4 lengths. RICH CITY GIRL (f, 2, City of Light–Hassler {Ire}, by War Front), a $195,000 KEESEP yearling turned $435,000 OBSMAR breezer, was working bullets at Hawthorne for Larry Rivelli ahead of her debut and ran them off their feet for a sharp score as the slight 2-1 favorite. Scratched out of Friday evening's Prairie Gold Lassie Stakes at Prairie Meadows in favor of this spot, Rich City Girl was on the engine from her inside draw and was hounded through an opening quarter in :22.12. She began to shake clear as they approached the top of the stretch, and, despite hanging on her left lead down the lane, cruised home to a 3 1/4-length victory. Second-time starter and $410,000 OBS April graduate Praying (Vekoma) was second. It was another 3/4 of a length back to the debuting $400,000 OBS April product Mischief Night (Practical Joke) in third. Hassler, a daughter of MGISW Turbulent Descent (Congrats), had a colt by Not This Time in 2023 and a filly by Epicenter this year. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $42,505.

Fans of the great American folktale of Washington Irving’s Rip Van Winkle may recall its setting in pre-revolutionary New York, in the vast forests of the Catskills. Any traveler, especially those escaping bustling Manhattan two to three hours south, can take a few pointers from the Rip. His passions included wandering through the lush mountains and verdant valleys of the Catskill Mountains, where he found solace amongst the trees and intrigue in the rivers and streams. There’s certainly something to say, here, about the wilderness, and the enchantment that comes from the endlessly green and mountainous Catskills region, even if it's peace doesn't cause you to sleep through the entire American Revolution.

Stonestreet Stables' Emery inhaled pacesetting Mystic Lake in the final strides to earn her first graded victory in the GIII Victory Ride Stakes at Aqueduct Thursday. The 3-5 favorite sat off the pace as Mystic Lake was pressed by Halina's Forte through fractions of :21.72 and :44.38. Emery loomed a threat three wide approaching the lane, but Mystic Lake skipped clear and looked home free in upper stretch only to have the favorite find another gear late to get up to win by 3/4 lengths.

WyoFile has acquired a photograph of a lynx in Wyoming, a landmark observation of a species currently considered absent from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022. There was no doubt in his mind what it was: a tom lynx, judging by its blocky head.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

This far out address is looking for a new owner.

In Millbrook, New York, a sprawling retreat once home to Harvard professor-turned-psychedelic superfan Timothy Leary has hit the market for $65 million — a potential record-breaker for the rapidly gentrifying Hudson Valley.

The approximately 2,000-acre spread, known as the Hitchcock Estate, dates back to the 1800s and enjoyed considerable cultural significance in the 1960s, when Leary — originator of the famous phrase, “turn on, tune in, drop out” — and a gaggle of like-minded LSD-lovers began occupying the place, the Wall Street Journal first reported.
