Thanks to @HSIndyRacing some of us were given a $250 stipend to go after today’s late pick 5, with all winnings going to the @HVAFofIndiana on this Veteran’s Day. It’s a sequence that should result in a big payoff, and here’s how I’m playing it.

Remembering when Cindy Hyde-Smith joked in 2018 about attending “a public hanging”

At the time, she was running against Dem Mike Espy, who was Black

Today, Hyde-Smith was defeated Scott Colom, who is set to be the 1st Black senator for Mississippi since the Reconstruction era

Statement from Gary Barber and C2 Racing Stable:

After further careful evaluation, Gary Barber and C2 Racing Stable have concluded that the Breeders' Cup Limited and Del Mar Thoroughbred Club are not the responsible parties for the scratch of White Abarrio from the 2025 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile, but rather the CHRB is. Accordingly, Gary Barber and C2 Racing Stable have dismissed with prejudice their claims against Breeders' Cup and Del Mar arising from the scratch. The dismissal reflects no admission of fault, liability, or wrongdoing by any party. All parties remain committed to equine safety and the integrity of Thoroughbred racing and look forward to working together to protect those priorities.

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.

"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive.

A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.

You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.

Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.

Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.

And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging, insurrectionist, running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban in Afghanistan thanked you very much for losing again.

And you're calling Greenland poorly run?

Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.

'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU.

Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.

And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.

So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth."

As a former commander-in-chief, I’ve had the honor of meeting with our nation’s servicemembers and military spouses over the years. Hearing their stories and seeing their courage fundamentally changes who you are, and reminds you what living your values actually looks like. Thank you to all the veterans who have bravely served our country.

Two weeks after @BreedersCup, we are as proud of our horsemen participating in Saturday's $1.2M #ClaimingCrown, at #ChurchillDowns for 4th time in 5 years. There are no "Saturday" horses w/o our blue-collar horses, the claiming horse. CD-based @shirerracing talked about his CC trio of Talkin In Cursive (Empress), Five O' Somewhere (Rapid Transit) & Light the Way (Emerald) and how he got involved in racing, then started a stable from 0 horses to 20.
