Bryce Harper on lobbying for MLB players to play in the 2028 Olympics: "Obviously the WBC is great, but it's not the Olympics. That's no disrespect to the WBC or anything. But everybody knows when the Olympics are on everybody is watching. Doesn't matter what sport it is. It could be the most random sport and it has all of the fans watching it. I hope LA '28 happens. I'm hoping the next CBA agreement can happen where teams and players can come to an agreement on taking that two-week break, especially it being in our home country.
It would be great for baseball. You talk about growing the game and being able to grow it at that, at the highest level would help out tremendously.''

Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas, who has passed away at 89.

Lukas won the 1996 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile with Boston Harbor at Woodbine, and will forever be a part of the Woodbine community.

I met Christophe for the first time years ago at Payson Park. As a young guy in the business, I was naturally a bit nervous to introduce myself. That went away immediately when exchanging pleasantries. I’ll never forget his genuine and welcoming persona. He will be missed.
