Weekend winners
Golden Tempo. Winning the Derby is always cause to win the weekend. Saturday was no different. But Tempo stumbling from the gate and being in DFL on the front stretch only to close with a burst that was historic was really cool.
The Yankees. Sorry Spy, but the Bombers are bombing baseballs. New York has won 13 of its last 15. Want to know a recipe for success in MLB: Lead the majors in homers (56) and ERA (3.01). For the record, the Braves are second in both categories at 50 and 3.19. Also of note: The Dodgers are third in each category (45 and 3.22). Those three teams are a combined 69-34.
Cam Young. Dude went wire-to-wire at Doral. Young is golfing his ball better than anyone else on planet Earth right now. Well, other than Nelly Korda maybe. (Miss Korda has three wins in six starts on the LPGA Tour.)
