Rombauer, a horse with 12-1 odds, surprised by winning the race by two lengths over second-place finisher Midnight Bourbon. Medina Spirit, the betting favorite to win the 2021 Preakness Stakes, gave it a good run, leading the 10-horse field throughout the first three-quarters of the 1 3/16-mile race. But the 3-year-colt ran out of energy in the stretch, falling to third behind Rombauer and Midnight Bourbon. That removes any potential controversy over a tainted Triple Crown winner in 2021; though a second test has yet to confirm that Medina Spirit ran the Kentucky Derby with 21 picograms of betamethasone in his body, it’s still possible Churchill Downs could invalidate the horse’s first-place finish at the Derby....

This is all stuff that would be at the fringe of the transactions wire, but it shines an interesting light on evaluating trades and being quick to declare winners and losers. MORE: Cubs lead second-half predictions | Pirates built to win the NL Central Undoubtedly, the Royals can view last year’s acquisition of Frasor as a success. He was the winning pitcher in the American League wild-card game, working two-thirds of an inning in which he allowed an inherited run to score but avoided further damage....

While, by and large, the Assassin’s Creed Unity story tries to adhere to the French Revolution’s history as best it can, the development team did take some artistic license in a few places. The design of the Notre Dame cathedral, for example, was altered from its genuine historical look to be both more visually interesting and also more engaging while climbing. According to Caroline Miousse, Senior Level Artist on AC Unity, the design of the Notre Dame back then wasn’t very “sexy....

Twitter users were quick to respond that they were playing nothing, and they especially were not playing a PlayStation 5 because they could not get their hands on one. Those who tweeted at PlayStation blamed the lack of available consoles on a variety of factors, such as the ongoing chip shortage and scalpers. While there are indeed a multitude of factors influencing the PS5 shortage, the trending hashtag, #NotAPS5, clearly displays a rise in frustrations over the lack of available consoles nearly a year after release....

The new series is hosted by Kevin Jonas and his younger brother Frankie (yes, the so-called ‘Bonus Jonas’) and is already a hit with viewers. Frankie, 21, was only young when Kevin, Joe and Nick started the Jonas Brothers band but now it seems like he’s ready to join his siblings in the spotlight with his hosting gig. Claim to Fame requires contestants and viewers to get their thinking caps on as they try to piece together celebrity connections: but has Pepper’s famous relative been revealed already?...

Musk posted a challenge to Putin and the Kremlin on Monday for a “single combat” with the winner getting Ukraine, which caused a huge reaction online. One of the many people to reply to Musk was the controversial Chechen politician Kadyrov, who sent Musk a warning on Telegram. He called him Elona and told him he needs to “pump up” in order to fight Putin. Musk reposted the Telegram message and the English translation, and thanked him for the offer, and even changed his display name on Twitter to Elona Musk....

Known today as Liga MX (often referred to as Liga BBVA MX for sponsorship purposes), the league consists of 18 clubs which play split seasons called the Apertura (July to December) and Clausura (January to May). Both consist of 17 regular season matches that are followed by a playoff format which crowns an Apertura and Clausura champion. The split season format has been in effect since 1996-97, and playoffs have been utilized since 1970-71....

Who is this guy? Few outside the industry have ever heard of Ebbers or his voraciously aggressive company, WorldCom Inc. What’s more, he’s trying to grab MCI away from a far larger suitor: the venerable British Telecommunications, with three times WorldCom’s revenues and profits of $6 billion to its zilch. This tells us something important: that the stodgy telecommunications industry is ripe for revolution. If the deal goes through, it will turn WorldCom from an also-ran into the second largest long-distance phone carrier in the country, after AT&T....

It’s a matchup between two of college football’s most storied programs. And it’s a game that will likely go a long way in shaping the College Football Playoff picture over the course of the season. As it tends to happen, the spotlight will be fixed on each side’s signal-callers. For the Buckeyes, their quarterback is a known commodity. C.J. Stroud has been touted for huge things in his redshirt sophomore season....

According to Fox News, the owner of the brand, Brian Henry who also is mayor of Pawleys Island in South Carolina, made comments regarding the Black Lives Matter and Antifa movements, calling them “terror organizations.” Following this, a social media user shared an image of a sign in a Costco store in Myrtle Beach saying: “The * (asterisk) on this sign means that these 2 items are discontinued and will not be re-ordered by Costco....

If you think videogames are just child’s play, think again. Last year the videogame industry raked in $6.3 billion (between software and hardware), just shy of the record $6.9 billion movies earned at the box office. Games designed for the personal computer like Quake and Myst may get the headlines, but the bulk of software revenues flow from game systems like those from Sega, Sony and Nintendo that you connect to your TV....

According to a Facebook post from the organizers of the 2021 Moses Lake Airshow in Washington, the 28-year-old was trying to achieve the Guinness World Record for Longest Motorcycle Ramp Jump. To break the record, Harvill would have had to land past the current record of 351 feet, set by Australia’s Robbie Maddison on March 29, 2008. To put the figure into context, that is the same length as a football field, from goal post to goal post....

Throughout his long and distinguished career, Favaloro advanced both knowledge and practice in heart surgery, helping, undoubtedly, to save many lives of patients the world over. In particular, Favaloro is probably best known for his pioneering 1967 heart bypass surgery on a 51-year-old woman in Ohio who had a total blockage of her right coronary artery. He hooked her up to a heart-lung machine and stopped her heart for the procedure....

Xavi was part of Barcelona teams responsible for four of those titles and the 42-year-old guided his new-look team to an opening 5-1 win over Czech Viktoria side Viktoria Plzen. A step up in class against Bayern Munich and Inter Milan proved the downfall of Barca, though, who lost 2-0 in Germany and 1-0 at the San Siro on their way to finishing third in Group C. Before they even had the chance to kick a ball in match day five against Bayern Munich, Inter Milan’s 4-0 win over Plzen in the early kick-off sealed their fate and relegated them to the Europa League....

It’s the first time the European title was decided by a shootout since Czechoslovakia defeated West Germany during 1976. Sunday’s game at Wembley Stadium went through two extra periods before the shootout began. Italy shot a dart into the left side of the net before England tied it up with a shot in the same place. England blocked Italy’s second shot before Harry Maguire found the upper right part of the net to give England a 2-1 lead....

The Mets first baseman set the record for the most home runs in a Home Run Derby first round. He didn’t need extra time to win the second round. And in the finals, he hit each of the first six pitches he saw in his bonus time for home runs to walk off Orioles first baseman Trey Mancini and claim his second straight derby crown. Each round, Alonso put on a show....

That Bush has failed as “the environmental president.” This isn’t true, but the perception that it is true is entirely Bush’s fault. In four years Bush passed a landmark Clean Air Act, which should nearly end smog in U.S. cities; restricted offshore oil exploration; accelerated the abolition of CFCs; increased enforcement of Superfund cleanups for toxic wastes; blocked imports of tuna caught in the nets that kill dolphins; signed the Rio global-warming treaty, and fielded many lower-profile environmental regulations, especially in water quality....
