• Out of the gate from the 12 post position, Assessment (6-1) won Sunday's 74th running of the Longacres Mile at Emerald Downs. The top race brought in $796,268 worth of wagers, a single-race record.

We check in on local dominatrix/columnist Mistress Matisse's blog every once in a while -- oh, who are we kidding, we subscribe to her RSS feed. Who doesn't want to hear true tales of sex work? more ›
