Perhaps a stern talking-to by @taylorswift13, who never lays an egg when the lights get bright, is what her boyfriend's horse needs before it next approaches the starting gate. My recap of today's Ontario Derby @WoodbineTB.

I can't imagine betting on the horse that pulled up and got caught here. What a boner move by the jockey, although tracks should really try to stick to having just one finish line. https://t.co/Hk75d8JXE3

Do you know the difference between problem gambling and responsible gambling? You'd be surprised how many people don't and how much harm that does, but @AmericanGaming has come up with a potential remedy. (@ActionNetworkHQ)

After getting stung in the testicles by a scorpion at the Venetian, a man is suing the resort for, among other things, "loss of consortium" with his wife, as he's now allegedly suffering from erectile dysfunction (@ActionNetworkHQ).

Hmmmm. On the one hand, a second-place finish in the Toronto Cup is a (Mr.) perfectly fine effort for Travis Kelce's new horse, Swift Delivery. On the other hand, Taylor's not used to being second on the charts.
