The Maryland Racing Commission was told by Stadium Authority EVP Gary McGuigan that the 2027 Preakness Stakes will be run at Pimlico without access to the incomplete clubhouse, which he said would be finished for the 2028 race. He also said construction is under way at Pimlico.

Texas Racing Commission staff confirmed that a cease-and-desist letter was sent to TwinSpires on Saturday to try and stop ADW bets on Sam Houston races. “We will keep commissioners updated,” acting executive director David Holmes told TRC today. TwinSpires took bets through Sunday.

Equine disease. A human pandemic. Safety concerns. Of all the things that have threatened the Sunland Derby over the years, who had a false alarm from the FAA on the bingo card?

We got to 68° today. Not pictured, plenty of snow still on the ground.

What a shame to hear about #KingLeatherbury, but It is a blessing that he lived a long life. And a blessing that he shared it in racing. #RIP

Beware the blowout win in a gold-medal game preview. We have seen this before. These goals do not carry over to next weekend. #Olympics @usahockey.bsky.social

What do 158.3 for any pro quarterback, Don Larsen in 1956, the Miami Dolphins in 1972, Nadia Comaneci in 1976, Indiana football in 2025-26 and Mike Tirico on Super Bowl Sunday have in common?

“What a curling match this turned out to BE.” #ITAvUSA #Olympics

The biennially chintzy Olympic medals are completely understandable. Lausanne prioritizes high-end freebies for rich, pampered members of the corrupt IOC. When that money dries up, there is precious little left for the lowly, fungible athletes. Please pass the beluga.

My, oh, my. @cbssports.bsky.social is handling the WM Phoenix Open playoff like there is nothing going on elsewhere right about now. Might have to read all about it later.

The @nflscores.bsky.social has come a long way from this TV Guide NorCal entry in 1967.

How many of you armchair critics of #LindseyVonn were speaking up before the downhill today? To all you sudden experts, please show your work.

The scum who are tut-tutting Lindsey Vonn after the fact ought to have their car seats facing backward. It clearly is their preferred view.

I am loving Dickie V being on the Alabama-Auburn telecast on @espn.com 2 I would not watch this game otherwise, but he has me hooked. As I have said, give him 10% of every $ college basketball makes from TV. He earned it ... and he would donate it to @thevfoundation.bsky.social.

VOICES WE REMEMBER Candice Hare, Joanne Jones, Rich Perloff and Jason Portuondo get together to reminisce about their days in racing media and to talk about their current work. They are on the Ron Flatter Racing Pod. www.horseracingnation.com/news/Flatter...

Horrible time to cut to commercial on NBC Olympics #GoldZone. It just sold us on the U.S. rallying to force an extra end in curling with the last stone about to be delivered by Korea, and we don't get to see what happened. Epic Heidiesque fail. Epic.

I stuck with NBC Olympics #GoldZone for 45 minutes. No Scott Hanson? No energy. Too many commercials. No clear priority of coverage. In short, booorrrrrring.

Other than too many commercials and too little Scott Hanson, why did NBC #GoldZone stop putting the gold box around the live audio selection when it goes Brady Bunch with the screen?

REUNITED We came to know them as some of the voices of racing media. Now we catch up with Candice Hare, Joanne Jones, Rich Perloff and Jason Portuondo. They compare stories and reminisce on the Ron Flatter Racing Pod. www.horseracingnation.com/news/Flatter...

CATCHING UP Hear what these familiar media voices from the past are up to now. Candice Hare, Joanne Jones, Rich Perloff and Jason Portuondo have a reunion right now on the Ron Flatter Racing Pod. www.horseracingnation.com/news/Flatter...

Bezos knew full well what he bought into with the @washpost.bsky.social. Other print media find ways to go digital and turn the money corner. He could have done that, but no. Giving up on the Post sports dep’t is like destroying American Gothic because pitchfork guy is not wearing a hoodie. #FJB

Remember the old days in Chicago when the forecasts could say “snow and warmer”? That is exactly what is happening now in The ’Ville. The @bos.nws-bot.us says we got to 39.9° today, the highest temperature since Jan. 18. It is 37° now. And it is snowing.

For the first time since Jan. 22, the temperature got above freezing here in The ’Ville.

Jeez, AMC. Spell his name correctly.

What high-falutin’ title is carried by the executive who declared this was a good idea? @espn.com @nhlscores.bsky.social

The #StadiumSeries game looks like it is being played in the middle of a construction project. @nhlscores.bsky.social @nhlbruins.bsky.social @tblightningnhl.bsky.social

I have said this for years, and yes, I worked with one of them. Live tennis commentary does not get better than the McEnroes. #AusOpen @espn.com

The #IllinoisRacingBoard may as well be the League of Nations. 📸 IRB & Movietone

Correction and clarification. By next month's date to flip the track to Thoroughbreds. That is Feb. 16. The next IRB meeting is not until March 18.

From #Hawthorne asst GM John Walsh to the #IllinoisRacingBoard: Pres-GM Tim Carey is "somewhere downtown working with professionals" to get money. On Feb. 16, "We will not turn the track over to Thoroughbreds if nothing has happened" to fix the financial mess.

What the #IllinoisRacingBoard did today with the #Hawthorne financial mess. 📷 Aerotoons / Getty Images

In the absence of president & GM Tim Carey, asst GM John Walsh of #Hawthorne tells the #IllinoisRacingBoard that he expects a resolution to report to the track's financial problems by next month's meeting. He also said "I don't believe any employee payments have bounced."

There is no shortage of pitchforks and torches on the stoop of #Hawthorne during public comments at the #IllinoisRacingBoard meeting.

Does anyone else notice the video and audio are not in sync on the @espn.com telecast of @uarizona.bsky.social at BYU?

Yeah, this was better than the digital line. @cbssports.bsky.social

Sharps devoured @seahawksofficial.com -3½ vs. the @patriots.bsky.social. These are the #SuperBowlLX lines now: -4½ (-105) DraftKings -4½ (-110) FanDuel -4½ (-113) Caesars -4½ (-115) Bet365, ESPN -5 (-110) BetMGM, Circa

Some books are taking early Seattle money and have moved it to -4½.

The @seahawksofficial.com open as a 3½-point favorite vs. the @patriots.bsky.social in #SuperBowlLX.

The @seahawksofficial.com open as a 3½-point favorite vs. the @patriots.bsky.social in #SuperBowlLX.

The TV media reporters who think we are more interested in score bugs and whether in-booth refs are relevant have lost the plot with @cbssports.bsky.social being caught completely off guard by the snowstorm in Denver. The inability to do the black-line overlay is huge, but nary a mention.

It seems @cbssports.bsky.social is completely unprepared for the snow. It cannot decide on whether to overlay white numbers and lines. C'mon, folks. $#!7 or get off the pot.
