OCEANPORT, N.J. (AP) — Belmont Stakes winner Dornoch captured the $1 million Haskell Stakes Saturday at Monmouth Park to take charge of what had been a wide-open 3-year-old division. A second straight Grade 1 victory removed any doubt as to leader of the pack. The Haskell featured a renewal...

Oceanport, NJ

OCEANPORT, NJ-On paper, it appeared that a single horse, Idiomatic (Curlin), couldn't be beaten. That was until they ran Monmouth Park's GIII Molly Pitcher Stakes. Sent off the searing 1-9 choice in the scratched reduced field of five, the 2023 champion older mare stumbled a hair coming out of stall 6 as Kathleen O (Upstart) faced a much more dramatic misstep exiting the gate. While the latter was rushed into contention along the inside, the champion cruised effortlessly to the lead, doling out an opening quarter in a poky :25.57. Carving out an equally laughable half in :50.27 with Miles of Smiles (Prospective) and Kathleen O in pursuit. As if caught by surprise as Soul of an Angel (Atreides) rushed up caught the champ and inched ahead to a short advantage approaching the quarter pole, the pair rounded the home turn in tandem, loaded for bear. Battling through the length of the lane, Soul of an Angel gave it her all but the champ refused to give up along the inside and managed to put her head down on the wire. Frosty OToole (Frosted) closed from the back to be third.

There’s little information to be found on the history of St. James C. M. E. Church, but the Boston town website notes that the congregation was established in 1896. I believe the present structure was built in the early 1900s. A 1909 broadside in the Hargrett Library in Athens advertises a gospel meeting for the […]

I had initially planned to handicap the $1 million Haskell (G1) at Monmouth Park for this week's edition of Unlocking Winners. But with the field still in flux (key contenders Fierceness and Dornoch are possible to scratch), it's difficult to make a selection this far in advance. Instead, we'll look...

Now that Jonathan Jackson is returning to his role as Lucky Spencer on General Hospital, some Virginia fans wonder if Anthony Geary will return as Lucky's dad, Luke Spencer. Even though the actor left the soap in 2015 and has been declared dead, and his ashes have spread, some of his followers still hold out hope. Soap Opera Spy ran an article saying Geary would return in 2023, but this was incorrect.
