Stradivarius (far right) could finish only third when bidding for a record-equalling fourth Gold Cup How ironic that it was at Ascot, the scene of so many of his greatest triumphs, that Frankie Dettori should fall out of John Gosden's good books. His'magnificent seven' may have been more than a quarter of a century ago but it was only in 2019 he…

The GoingStick reading of 4.2 on the chase course at Warwick on Saturday tells you everything you need to know about how deep the ground is going to be, especially with plenty more rain forecast to hit the track. When flicking back through the past decade of archive readings at the Midlands venue, I could find only one such low reading - on…

Netflix made an ambitious effort to cover the 2022 tennis season, but check out five storylines the cameras missed from Part 1 of the now-streaming docuseries. Professional tennis is underway 11 months out of the year and often takes place across multiple time zones. Comprehensive coverage is nearly impossible, but Netflix made an impressive effort…

When French champions Paris Saint-Germain brought in Lionel Messi, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Sergio Ramos, and Achraf Hakimi last summer, many thought that wrapping up a first UEFA Champions League crown in the club's history was a mere formality.

For all the talk about how division races supposedly don't matter as much as they used to -- and I can think of a couple No. 1 and No. 2 seeds who would very much disagree with you -- it still means something to be able to call yourself a champion. I guarantee you there are Guardians fans who have 2022 AL Central champs shirts. It might not be the…

Royal Ascot is back as one of the biggest weeks in racing returns in front of a full house for the first time since 2019.

Rodney Dangerfield would love these TCU Horned Frogs. It's hard to remember the last time a team got so little respect as these Big 12 champs, who entered the college football championship game against Georgia as massive underdogs. The Bulldogs enter as 13-point favorites, a whopping spread for a contest between the two best teams in college…

I spoke to him on Friday afternoon. Fitz: What the hell are you doing, Ray? Why retire on 99 Origins? If not for posterity, do it for…

Stefanos Tsitsipas has nine career titles but has yet to win a coveted Grand Slam tournament.

With Carlos Alcaraz withdrawing from this year's Aussie, the door has cracked open a little wider for the…

Most of us grew up watching Disney movies, many of which tell tales of the little guy navigating through the impossible to achieve a dream. Even as adults, we're romantic about the underdog stories, the Davids versus Goliaths, the Cinderellas. We crave them. We so badly want to believe they're true. That's what made some of us inexplicably…

Twice early in its history the Cheltenham Gold Cup fell foul of the weather, both times in the 1930s.

For starters, the Bengals have been crowned AFC North champs. Cincinnati needed one win over the final two weeks to secure the division title, but have now been awarded the crown regardless of their Week 18 meeting with the Ravens. But there's a catch.

The Rockies are weird. On the surface, they feel an awful lot like last year's Royals, who started the year with one of the best records in baseball but didn't have the run differential to back it up. The question is are the Rockies more the Royals or last year's Mariners. At just a game over.500 but with a run differential in line with much worse…

Just like that, Montreal Canadiens forward Michael Pezzetta went from hero to goat (in the derogatory sense).

However, Pezzetta was also in the box for an…
