Scott-USA TODAY SportsMay 6 (Reuters) - Mage won the 149th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, on Saturday to capture the first leg of U.S. thoroughbred racing's Triple Crown. Mage, who finished second in the Florida Derby last month, finished the 1-1/4-mile race in two minutes and 1.57 seconds. The victory was the first Kentucky Derby win for Venezuelan trainer Gustavo Delgado and Venezuelan Hall of Fame jockey Javier Castellano, who won the Run for the Roses after 16 attempts. Thank you for the opportunity to run this horse, that has a lot of heart."
CNN —Mage won the 149th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, on Saturday. “It took me a little while to get there, to finally get it.” The victory was the first at the Kentucky Derby for Castellano in 16 attempts. Albert Cesare/USA Today/ReutersPrior to the Kentucky Derby, Mage only had one victory in three career starts. He’s the second horse to die today at the track, making it an appalling seven deaths in advance of the Kentucky Derby. They should play ‘Taps’ at the Derby instead of ‘My Old Kentucky Home.’”Correction: A previous version of this story misstated the location of Churchill Downs.
Secretariat, with jockey Ron Turcotte up, passed his rival, Sham, in the homestrech and ran away with the 99th Kentucky Derby in record time on May 5, 1973. Rumors swirled: he was injured, he lost a step during his 3-year-old season, he just wasn’t the superhorse everyone thought he was, his Wood rival Sham would be the true king of 1973. His rival Sham sat near the lead and made his move to catch the leader, Shecky Greene, at the top of the homestretch. Then, and only then, did Turcotte ask his horse for more, and Secretariat, like the finest of racecars, found another gear. Nearly half of the horses in Saturday’s Derby have Secretariat in their bloodlines.
Statul american Maryland a renunţat marţi la controversatul său imn oficial, ale cărui versuri au fost criticate pentru faptul că erau favorabile Sudului sclavagist din timpul Războiului de Secesiune, informează Agerpres. "Abrogăm imnul de stat, care este o relicvă a Confederaţiei. Este în mod clar învechit şi depăşit", a explicat guvernatorul american în timpul ceremoniei de semnare a legii de abrogare.Cântecul "Maryland, My Maryland", compus în timpul Războiului Civil de un simpatizant al cauzei confederate, conţine versuri care fac trimitere la "despotul" Abraham Lincoln şi care îi descriu pe soldaţii din Nordul aboliţionist drept "gunoaie".Maryland era un stat sclavagist, dar a luptat alături de Uniune în timpul Războiului de Secesiune.Imnul era intonat în timpul ceremoniilor oficiale, dar, din cauza controverselor pe care le-a stârnit, organizatorii celebrei curse de cai Preakness Stakes l-au suprimat începând cu ediţia din 2020 a acestei competiţii de hipism.Autorităţile din Maryland nu au ales deocamdată un cântec care să înlocuiască vechiul imn, însă mai multe proiecte sunt analizate în această perioadă.Decizia de marţi a fost luată în contextul în care în Statele Unite au loc de peste un an dezbateri intense despre trecutul acestei ţări, marcat de rasism şi segregare, pe fondul unui val istoric de proteste faţă de discriminările rasiale, după decesele mai multor afro-americani ucişi de poliţişti.
