DEL MAR (CNS) - Two horses had to be taken by van from the track at Del Mar Racetrack Friday, Nov. 27 but both are expected to recover. The 5-year-old mare Magnolia's Hope was vanned off after being eased in the stretch of the fourth race, a 6 1/2-furlong claiming race on the dirt track for fillies and mares 3 years old and up which have never won two races. ``Though it is never good to be given a van ride, this does not appear to be a case of a life-threatening injury,'' Mac McBride, the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club's director...

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The San Diego Padres announced Thursday, Sept. 17 that out of an abundance of caution due to air quality, the series between the Padres and Seattle Mariners would be played in Petco Park instead of Seattle. The three games were scheduled to be played in Seattle's T-Mobile Park, but unhealthy air quality due to dozens of wildfires across the Pacific Northwest made that untenable.

Chargers' Ekeler has new role but maintains same mindset COSTA MESA (AP) - Austin Ekeler has a new role and different training camp this year. However, the Los Angeles Chargers running back is still trying to maintain the same approach. Ekeler is the Chargers lead back after a breakout 2019 season and Melvin Gordon's departure to Denver.

TIM REYNOLDS AP Basketball Writer LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) - Devin Booker does not like the notion that the Phoenix Suns, whose playoff chances were beyond slim when the season was suspended, should simply be happy to be in the NBA's bubble. He sees it quite differently. "People can say we have a nothing-to-lose mentality," Booker said. "We don't look at it like that." Hard to argue. The Suns, like a lot of other teams out West, have much to play for right now. The best rac...
STEPHEN WHYNO AP Hockey Writer Minnesota's Matt Dumba on Saturday became the first NHL player to kneel during the U.S. national anthem when he did so before the opening playoff game between the Oilers and Blackhawks in Edmonton, Alberta. Dumba knelt at center ice while fellow Black players Malcolm Subban of Chicago and Darnell Nurse of Edmonton each stood with a hand on one of his shoulders. Several teams this week stood together during the U.S. and Canadian anthems, with some players locking arms to show solidarity. With...

One of sports' most influential agents - Tom Brady is one of his clients - Yee has teamed with former ESPN and NFL Network executive Jamie Hemann to develop HUB Football.

TIM REYNOLDS AP Basketball Writer LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Black players were next to white players. Coaches from one team were next to their compatriots from the opposing side. Many locked arms with the man next to them, some shut their eyes tightly, a few including LeBron James briefly raising a fist into the air or pointing skyward. The NBA had a strong, powerful re-opening night message. When it comes to demanding change, the league stands united — and Thursday, the four teams that played on the first night of the le...

BERNIE WILSON AP Sports Writer SAN DIEGO (AP) - Fernando Tatis Jr. saw the ball rolling to the wall in left-center field and raced around the bases, diving headfirst into third as his helmet went flying off.

BEN WALKER AP Baseball Writer Herb Vincent closes his eyes and drifts back a half-century, to his boyhood bedroom in North Little Rock, Arkansas. He's 9, trying to stay awake deep into the night, the transistor radio tuned to distant KMOX in St. Louis, listening to Cardinals baseball. Bob Gibson's shutouts, Lou Brock's stolen bases and Joe Torre's slugging made for sweet dreams. What he heard in-between pitches sounded even better. "The muffled murmur of the crowd," said...
JAKE SEINER AP Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP) - Thirty baseball teams from 28 cities, trying to play 60 games each amid a coronavirus pandemic that seemingly hasn't peaked in the United States. Plausible? Worthwhile? Unconscionable? Even among experts, it depends on who's talking: "Baseball games can work," said Dr. David Hamer, professor of global health at the Boston University School of Public Health. "I think it's feasible." "There are certain sports that are higher risk...
