Horse Racing 

  • It’s in the cloud. The quest for the Triple Crown came to an end on Saturday. Cloud Computing, who was fresh after not racing in the Kentucky Derby, won The Preakness. Derby winner, Always Dreaming, came in eighth in a field of 10.
  • Hold my beer. The other race at The Preakness isn’t on the track; it’s the famed port-a-potty races. Yes, racing atop port-a-potties while onlookers try to knock you off by throwing beer cans. What could go wrong?

NBA (National Basketball Association)

  • Unstoppable. The Golden State Warriors make things look easy. Saturday, they beat the overpowered San Antonio Spurs to take a 3-0 series lead in the playoffs. The Warriors remain undefeated in the playoffs.
  • Detained. Oklahoma City Thunder’s Enes Kanter, a Turkish citizen, was traveling abroad on behalf of his charity. Kanter has long been an outspoken critic of the Turkish president and upon arriving in Romania, he was detained because his passport had been cancelled by the Turkish government. The NBA called the U.S. State Department for help and he was later released.

Overtime

  • The Dancing With The Stars season 24 finale begins tonight and it features two athletes. Former Chicago Cubs catcher David Ross (MLB – Major League Baseball) and NFL (National Football League) running back Rashad Jennings will battle it out with pop star Normani Kordei for the mirrorball trophy.

Coaches’ corner

  • Former NFL player Myron Rolle has accomplished more than most by age 30. He's not only a Rhodes Scholar who played professional football but a medical school graduate who will start his neurosurgeon residency at Harvard next month. Guess you’d say he’s accomplished.
