LOUISVILLE, Ky.—Horse racing’s Triple Crown season will move on to the Preakness Stakes in Baltimore later this month after Mage’s win in the 149th running of the Kentucky Derby on Saturday. But racing officials here will be faced with sorting out what went wrong during a Derby week in which a string of horse fatalities put a damper on the sport’s most prominent event. Seven horse deaths have been reported at Churchill Downs since April 27, including two on Saturday in the hours before the Kentucky Derby. The run of tragedies again brings safety issues to the fore in racing, a sport in which a maze of state-by-state regulation, in the absence of an empowered national regulator, has made it difficult to impose reforms.
LOUISVILLE, Ky.—Mage won the 149th running of the Kentucky Derby on a day when an abnormal string of horse deaths continued earlier in the day at Churchill Downs , casting a long shadow over America’s marquee racing event. Mage broke a step slow from the No. 8 post but quickly recovered as Verifying and Kingsbarns set a blistering early pace, covering the first half-mile in 45.73 seconds. As the leaders began to tire, jockey Javier Castellano navigated Mage into the clear as the field approached the final turn. Mage finished the 1 1/4-mile race in 2:01.57.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – As Churchill Downs prepares for Saturday’s 149th running of the Kentucky Derby, a familiar uneasiness has settled over the horse-racing industry after an abnormal string of horse fatalities here over the past week has renewed concerns about the safety and welfare of racehorses. Caution has become the theme around the stable area at the historic track—which was underscored on Saturday morning, when it was announced that Forte, the favorite for the Derby, would scratch from the race due to a foot bruise.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.—As Churchill Downs prepares for Saturday’s 149th running of the Kentucky Derby, a familiar uneasiness has settled over the horse-racing industry after an abnormal string of horse fatalities at the historic track over the past week has renewed concerns about the safety and welfare of racehorses. Since April 27, at least four known horse deaths have occurred on track here under the famous twin spires.
Florida Atlantic players Jalen Gaffney and Bryan Greenlee celebrate after defeating Kansas State in the Elite Eight. Florida Atlantic began its NCAA tournament run with 125-to-1 odds to win the national title. It hails from Boca Raton, Fla., known for its beaches and golf courses, not title-chasing basketball teams. But in an upset-heavy men’s bracket in which all four No. 9 seeded Owls rallied against the odds—and, for the fourth straight tournament game, a second-half deficit—and are headed to the Final Four.
Florida Atlantic players Jalen Gaffney and Bryan Greenlee celebrate after defeating Kansas State in the Elite Eight. Florida Atlantic began its NCAA tournament run with 125-to-1 odds to win the national title. 1 seeds lost before the Elite Eight, the No. 9 seeded Owls rallied against the odds—and, for the fourth straight tournament game, a second-half deficit—and are headed to the Final Four. 4 seeded UConn notched the latest in a string of blowouts, this one over Gonzaga, to join them.
A wild Sweet 16 battle between Michigan State and Kansas State was tied at 92 in overtime when Wildcats guard Markquis Nowell took an inbounds pass, turned to a crowd where NBA legend Isiah Thomas and former Spartans star Mateen Cleaves were sitting and said: “Watch this.”Nowell dribbled the ball upcourt and crossed the half-court line. Then he paused and appeared to have an argument with his coach, Jerome Tang, on the sidelines. Nowell gestured angrily. Tang gestured back—but if you looked carefully, Tang also appeared to be signaling toward the basket with one arm.

In two short weeks last March, Saint Peter’s went from an unknown commuter school in Jersey City, N.J., to one of the greatest Cinderella stories in NCAA tournament history. 15 seed Peacocks kicked off the tournament with a massive upset over No. 2 seed Kentucky and then toppled No. 3 Purdue on a historic romp that ended a game short of the Final Four. More than half of the players, including all five starters, took advantage of looser transfer rules in college sports to bolt for other programs that seemed to offer better opportunities.
