Nolan Ramsey, longtime assistant to trainer Mike Maker, is beginning to make waves since launching his own stable. In his 29th start, the 27-year-old registered his first stakes win as a trainer when the Street Magician gelding Whenigettoheaven streaked home in the July 14 $75,000 Ben's Cat Stakes at Laurel Park. The milestone win was made all the more special since the gelding is owned by Ramsey's grandfather, prominent horse owner and breeder Ken Ramsey, who is recuperating from a recent kidney transplant surgery.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

Ten years ago, Ron Schneider began a quest to find Henri Delattre's (1801-1876) oil painting of the celebrated Thoroughbred Lecomte. As the curator at the Old Lecompte High School and Museum in Lecompte, La., the painting enticed him. He would be reminded each time he saw the horse's image, which figures prominently on the central Louisiana town's official flag as well as the high school's yearbook.

No. 98 Xfinity NASCAR Ford Makes Last-Lap Pass To Win Indy: Video

NASCAR has concluded the 2024 Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, meaning the Olympic break has begun. NBC Sports will carry coverage for the 2024 Paris Olympics, so NASCAR will stay on the sidelines for the next few weeks. However, when will NASCAR return from the Olympic break in 2024?
The NASCAR Cup and Truck Series will return at Richmond Raceway on August 10-11, but there will be 19 days of zero on-track action from July 22 to August 9. Meanwhile, the NASCAR Xfinity Series won’t return until Michigan International Speedway on August 16-17, which is 26 days of no racing. It is the sport’s biggest break of the 2024 season.
This will be an excellent opportunity for the drivers and teams to breathe before the last 14 weekends of the 2024 NASCAR season. There will be no racing for the next two weekends, meaning it will be almost three weeks until there is racing again. NASCAR doesn’t have many breaks during the season, so this is much needed for the drivers and teams.
