The Rest of May 6, 2023

  • Three days left in the Fantasy Faire on Second Life for the Relay For Life and the American Cancer Society.  Just crossed the $70,000 plateau.  The auctions tomorrow and the big rave Monday to close it out.
  • The Derby field is now 18 -- as widely speculated, a foot injury has forced morning-line favorite Forte to scratch, becoming the sixth horse to scratch from today's Triple Crown race.
  • Sounds like Glen Kuiper, a Bay Area baseball institution, may be done.  He's working the A's, and apparently made a racial slur last night, for which he apologized.  No word on if there was a long fly to left, and no, the A's were not playing the team Nick Castellanos is playing for.  
  • Two more horses put down on the Kentucky Derby Day card, both with leg injuries.  That's seven now.
    • 17-1 shot Mage finally won.  All 18 starting horses made it over the line.
    • Mattress Mack made Angel of Empire the betting favorite with a $1.2 million bet on the horse.  Finished third, but charging hard, ran out of room.
  • At the start of this weekend, Oakland was 6-26, Kansas City 8-24.  They play three this weekend in KC, Oakland won the first.
