The field races past the twin spires at Churchill Downs for the 2026 Kentucky Derby. May 2, 2026 | Michael Clevenger and O'Neil Arnold/Courier Journal / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn ImagesWhen Golden Tempo took the victory at the Kentucky Derby, the win made history as Cherie DeVaux became the first female trainer to win the storied race.But that history will not extend to the Preakness.Citing Golden Tempos health, DeVaux announced on social media that the team will bypass the Preakness Stakes. Golden gave us the race of a lifetime in the Kentucky Derby, and we believe the best decision for him moving forward is to give him a little more time following such a tremendous effort, wrote DeVaux on social media. His health, happiness, and long-term future will always remain our top priority.DeVaux indicated that the team is pointing Golden Tempo toward the Belmont Stakes.You can see the entire message here:Preakness announcement pic.twitter.com/8JQu7VZlRC Cherie DeVaux (@reredevaux) May 6, 2026The decision continues a recent trend of Kentucky Derby winners skipping the Preakness. Golden Tempo is now the fourth Kentucky Derby winning horse to skip the Preakness joining Mandaloun (2021), Rich Strike (2022) and Sovereignty last year. And the decision is the latest bit of evidence that the schedule needs to be changed.For years, trainers and analysts alike have argued that the two-week turnaround between the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness was simply too short for the horses. After Sovereigntys win a year ago Michael Banahan, a member of the ownership team, said this:He ran really hard today. And especially when you get a closer from off the pace like that, they have to lay their body on the line a little bit. If he responds well, maybe we look at that, you know? But I dont want to jump in straightaway. Well enjoy today. Today was the goal.And trainer Bill Mott laid the groundwork as well, saying this after Sovereignity won the Kentucky Derby: We want to do whats best for the horse, Mott told reporters. Of course, you always think about a Triple Crown, and thats not something were not going to think about.After skipping the Preakness, Sovereignty went on to win the Belmont Stakes. Even with a potential Triple Crown off the table, Mott stood by the decision.Tom Rinaldi catches up with Sovereignty's trainer Bill Mott after winning the Belmont Stakes! pic.twitter.com/P1EoOqzhfr FOX Sports (@FOXSports) June 7, 2025Now we will see if Golden Tempo can match that feat.And if the schedule gets changed in the future.

The Mexican Football Federation has officially threatened to exclude any Liga MX-based player from the World Cup roster if they fail to report for national team duty by Wednesday night. On Tuesday, Aguirre revealed his 20-player squad for a pre-World Cup training camp, with all players remaining in camp through the competition. The Mexican Football Federation had a news conference for Wednesday afternoon to clear the air. "Today, the World Cup begins for us," Aguirre said. "Whoever doesn't come will be out of the World Cup. That is something we cannot be flexible about, not in the least." Liga MX clubs defy orders Signs of trouble surfaced Tuesday when Toluca stars Jess Gallardo and Alexis Vega remained with their club ahead of Wednesday's Concacaf Champions Cup semifinal against LAFC rather than reporting to camp. By Tuesday night, Chivas owner Amaury Vergarawho saw his club fall behind 3-1 in the Liga MX quarterfinal first leg against Tigres without five starters due to call-ups broke his silence and ordered his stars home. "Agreements are only valid when all parties respect them," Vergara said in a social media post. "I instructed the sporting directors that our players should report to the club facilities tomorrow." Aguirre responded to club owners Wednesday, reiterating the agreement has not been broken. "I do want to give thanks, especially to the clubs and the owners who received us very well and contributed ideas. This project was presented a long time ago. It was approved. It is a pact, a project that has not been broken. I want to thank all the clubs, and specifically mention Chivas and Toluca. "Chivas, because they were obviously affected by the sheer number of players involved, and Toluca, because they are currently competing in a continental tournament." Federation responds to Liga MX owners On Wednesday, Mexico released a statement with an ultimatum that puts every player's World Cup dreams on the line. "As instructed by the coaching staff, any player who does not attend the training camp today will be left off the World Cup roster," the statement read. The "Priority" Conflict This collision course was set late last year when the Federation decided that Javier Aguirres national team preparations would take priority over club schedules. Aguirre and the federation aimed for a five-week head start for El Tri while most other nations wait for European club seasons to conclude. However, with the Liga MX playoffs kicking off this week, the federation's demand is being tested in real-time. This squad consists exclusively of Liga MX-based players, 12 of whom have secured their places in the team for the approaching World Cup. Mexico's World Cup preperations For now, the initial 12-man domestic list is expected to begin training with Aguirre Wednesday night, with European-based stars scheduled to arrive later this month. In Liga MX, the quarterfinals began on May 2 and will close out with the second leg of the final on May 24. Before kicking off the World Cup, Aguirre and his men will take part in exhibitions against Ghana on May 22, Australia on May 30 and Serbia on June 4. Mexico will begin the group stage of the World Cup against South Africa on June 11, they'll then face South Korea on June 18 and Czechia on June 24.

(Photo by Julio Aguilar/Getty Images)Julio Aguilar via Getty ImagesIt looks like Shane McClanahan has rediscovered the mojo that made him a two-time All-Star before a pair of major arm surgeries sidelined the southpaw for two and a half seasons.The Tampa Bay Rays left-handed pitcher spun 5 2/3 innings of shutout ball during a 3-0 win over the Toronto Blue Jays at Tropicana Field. With that performance, the 29-year-old McClanahan has strung together three straight scoreless starts for the first time in his career. Hes scattered 16 strikeouts in 16 2/3 innings along the way and, according to StatMuse, is the only pitcher with 15 innings pitched and zero earned runs in that span.His changeup and curveball were working against the Blue Jays on Wednesday, and the Rays bullpen picked up where he left off to ensure that their streak of games allowing three or fewer runs increased to a franchise record 13. Thats tied for the second longest in the wild card era, per MLB.com. Tampa needs five more games of that kind to match the 18 such games the San Francisco Giants stacked during the 2010 campaign. That season, the Giants won the first of the three World Series titles that made up their 2010s dynasty.The Rays are on fire!- Six wins in a row!- Ten straight wins at home!- Thirteen consecutive games allowing 3 runs or fewer - a new franchise record! pic.twitter.com/Ve1tZJKnAD MLB (@MLB) May 6, 2026This years Rays have secured an MLB-best five sweeps this season. Theyve won six consecutive games and 12 of their last 13. Theyre 22-7 since they started the year 2-5. Its early May, and Tampa is flirting with first place in the AL East. Following its latest win over the Blue Jays (16-21), the Rays (24-12) drew within one game of the division-leading New York Yankees.McClanahan is part of a Rays pitching staff that came into Wednesday with the fifth-best ERA (3.65) in the majors this season. Hes part of a starting rotation that also features righties Nick Martinez and Drew Rasmussen, who are sparkling with ERAs of 1.71 and 2.95, respectively.After battling back from Tommy John surgery and then an operation that addressed a nerve issue in his left triceps, McClanahan has returned to form and turned in a type of stretch he didnt even deliver pre-injuries.Longtime Rays manager Kevin Cash removed McClanahan in the sixth inning Wednesday. By then, Tampa had scored two of its three runs in the victory, thanks to a fourth inning that showcased an RBI double from Jonny DeLuca and an RBI single from fellow outfielder Chandler Simpson.Cashs Rays are hoping to reach the playoffs for the first time in three seasons. This spring surge is slingshotting them into great position as the summer nears.
