Rattle N Roll wins the Grade 1 Claiborne Breeders’ Futurity at Keeneland.Trainer Ken McPeek told the Daily Racing Form on Monday that he plans to send Grade 1 winner Rattle N Roll to New Orleans, La., for the Grade 2 Louisiana Derby on March 26.The 3-year-old son of Connect ran sixth in the first start of his sophomore season, the G2 Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream Park on March 5. McPeek isn't concerned about the three-week turnaround, since Rattle N Roll “ran back in 16 days when he won the Breeders' Futurity (G1 at Keeneland).”Beaten 7 1/4 lengths in the Fountain of Youth, Rattle N Roll saved ground but failed to factor late. McPeek believes the Gulfstream surface failed to play to the colt's late-running style, and that he may have been a bit short coming into the race.“He did need it,” McPeek told DRF. “I'd say the main reason we're sending him to New Orleans is because the race is 1 3/16 miles. He'll like the extra ground.”Out of the winning Johannesburg mare Jazz Tune from the family of Grade 1 winners Another Review and No Review, Rattle N Roll was a $55,000 weanling at the Keeneland November sale.…

 (Photo: Arturo Pardavila III, Wikimedia Commons) By Michael Lipinski, Sports Talk Philly Editor NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Jim Salisbury is reporting the Phillies and Odubel Herrera have been in contact about a potential reunion. As Salisbury notes, Phillies have two open outfield spots heading into Spring Training.  The Phillies declined Herrera’s $11.5 million club option and chose to buyout the embattled outfielder for $2.5 million this past November. Herrera spent 2015-2019 with the Phillies, “El Torito” was suspended for the reminder of the 2019 season due to a domestic violence charge. The charge was ultimately dropped. He was designated for assignment prior to the 2020 season and didn’t play due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Herrera was invited to Spring Training in 2021 and made his MLB return on April 26.  Hererra’s slash line for the 2021 season was mediocre, .260/.310/.460 with 13 homers and 51 RBI in 124-games. The former All Star was also seen as a liability in the outfield making questionable decisions at times. This story is developing

During the course of the COVID pandemic, the California wine mecca counties of Napa and Sonoma seem to have taken a cue from the grapes they grow so beautifully: strain and adversity have produced a bold bounty of new ventures. As tourism ground to a halt in so many places, vintners, chefs, designers and hospitality gurus nourished their creativity and worked magic. Some in Hollywood found solace there, too, including Phoebe Bridgers who spent time in Sonoma writing new music, and Elizabeth Olsen, who has said that the Sonoma town of St. Helena in Napa Valley was “our breathing space” during the pandemic. Here, all the new stays, eats, drinks and dos that make a pilgrimage north a must this spring. WHERE TO STAY The Madrona: Healdsburg will soon welcome The Madrona (from $650 per night).

The Rainbow Wāhine basketball team defeated UC Irvine 59-48 Saturday to become the 2022 Big West conference tournament champs and punched its ticket to the NCAA tournament.The Wāhine’s win was bolstered by a big second half, as they would outscore the Anteaters 37-22. An aggressive inside game provided many opportunities that the Wāhine took advantage of. They would rack up 22 points inside the paint while also finding their way to the free-throw line where they shot 24-of-28.Head coach Laura Beeman was thankful of her team and the fan support they’ve received. She said that aligning to their goals and staying truly committed to celebrating each other helped the team capture the second Big West tournament title in her 10-year career at Hawai’i. “It’s an amazing season to see how these kids have come together,” Beeman said. “Thank you Hawai’i, this one's for you. Aloha, love you guys.”A trio of players led the way for Hawai’i, as Olivia Davies, Amy Atwell and Nnenna Orji all finished with double-digit point totals.

Senior forward NaLyssa Smith posted a monstrous 37 point, 11 rebound double-double on 50% from the floor to push the Bears over the Sooners for their 11th straight Big 12 Championship final. Photo courtesy of Baylor Athletics By Michael Haag | Sports Writer No. 4 Baylor women’s basketball, hot off a scorching quarterfinal win, torched the University of Oklahoma 91-76 in the semifinals of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Tournament Saturday afternoon in the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo. In the contest, the Bears set a program record for 3-pointers made in a single season with 215, hitting seven against the Sooners to claim the feat Saturday. With the win, head coach Nicki Collen became the first first-year head coach to reach the championship game since 1997. The outright Big 12 regular season champs were fueled by career-highs from senior forwards Nalyssa Smith and Caitlin Bickle. Smith posted a monstrous 37 point, 11 rebound double-double on 50% from the floor while Bickle scored 21 and grabbed six rebounds. Smith’s 37 is good for the second most points in Big 12 Championship history for semifinal games. It was also her 23rd double double of the season, tying Debbie Polk (1980-81)…

(Photo by Steph Chambers/Getty Images) (Photo by Steph Chambers/Getty Images) SALT LAKE CITY – Jazz forward Bojan Bogdanovic keyed a Jazz 15-4 run to close out the half as Utah goes into the halftime break with a 71-67 lead. Sacramento faced the Utah Jazz at Vivint Arena on Saturday, March 12. With the Jazz trailing for much of the first half, Bogdanovic took on some additional scoring responsibility. After taking a pass from Eric Paschall, Bogdanovic pump faked a return pass to Paschall before hitting his second three of the first half and bringing the Jazz with two at 56-54. Without guard Trent Forrest and all-star teammates Rudy Gobert and Mike Conley, it was inevitable that more would be asked of the hot shooting forward but Bogdanovic has proven to be up to the test through nearly two quarters of play. Bogdanovic finished the half with 14 points on 3-6 from the field and 2-5 from three. He also has a rebound and an assist in seventen minutes. Bojan has played in 63…

By Paul Bowman, Sports Talk Philly Editor On Thursday night, it was announced that Jason Kelce would be returning for the 2022 season. On Friday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported the new deal which he says boils down to a one-year $14 million contract. The #Eagles are giving C Jason Kelce what is essentially a 1-year deal worth $14M, source said. The highest paid center, Kelce has played like it. He’ll do so in 2022.— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 11, 2022 While it may operate as a one-year, $14 million deal, there are likely several void years that would spread that $14 million across the cap hits for the next two to three seasons. The center becomes the highest-paid in the league and is still playing at a high level, adding another Pro Bowl and first team All-Pro selection to his resume that is becoming easier and easier to pass through Hall of Fame voting. 2022 will be Kelce's 12th season with Philadelphia.
