The Dog Days of a Sports Summer
It’s mid-summer and we find that the Basketball and Hockey Playoffs are over, Champions have been crowned and Football Chatter has yet to fully start. The possible teams that will be in the baseball play-offs are weeks away from being determined. The Olympics in Paris unfortunately are going to be a time zone away. So, here’s a suggestion to fill the void, and that idea is that one can always turn to the Excitement that Thoroughbred Horse Racing Delivers, especially from the historic 7-week Summer Spectacle held In Saratoga N.Y.

Team USA with some of the NBA's biggest stars ever are putting on a show in the Paris Olympics. Though the competition sometimes has moments where you think it is a typical NBA playoff game, this really reminds us of how popular and competitive basketball has become in Europe as countries keep producing major A list talent to play in the NBA.

Staff Writer: Kev’s Weekly Sports Re-Cap

Aug 4th 2024

Kev Reflects on his 2-year Anniversary with SportsBookStuff.com

This week marks the 100th article I’ve written for sportsbookstuff.com. The world has turned over many times since the first article I wrote two years ago. So much water has passed under the world’s bridge in that time it’s hard to keep track of all the events, the stories and the dramas associated with not just sports but life itself. No road in life exists without it’s potholes, there are many detours that either will lead us astray or bring us back to our original course. In a way I’d like to say that sports, and more specifically writing about sports, has kept not only myself but others around me on an even keel even though the team we cheer for doesn’t always win. In sports as in life, anything is possible right? The last time we saw a summer Olympics the world was still in the throes of a pandemic. Everth was still crazyvtgen. There were restrictions galore. Masks, social distancing, lockdowns, vaccines were in many places the order of the day. Entire nations (and continents for that matter) like Australia and New Zealand were still closed to visitors. The games of course took place in Tokyo in a much abriviated manner and atmosphere. I really can’t recall watching too much of it. Holding a swim meet with hardly any spectators just didn’t do it for me however considering the time and energy that nations and cities dedicate to putting on an Olympics the games were held regardless. It was hard to say no to sports and besides, I think the world and most of the people on it needed something to remind o...

Sports betting launched alongside the craps and roulette table games at the Seminole Tribe’s Hard Rock Casino Thursday afternoon in dramatic fashion. Rappers Fat Joe and Ja Rule walked up to place bets at the tables and were quickly joined by Dwyane Wade, Gloria and Emilio Estefan and rapper Rick Ross.

The three Triple Crown races had existed long before the series received its name: the Belmont Stakes was first run in 1867, the Preakness in 1873, and the Kentucky Derby in 1875.

Kenneth G. McPeek trainer for Mystic Dan Kentucky Derby winner

After the Preakness Victory by Seize the Grey Mcpeek stated
I did not think Seize the Grey was a horse that could beat us,” said Kenny McPeek, trainer of runner-up Mystik Dan. “He ran great. Even on the gallop out, no one could run him down.” “It’s impossible to be disappointed about being involved with these kinds of races and to be competitive,” McPeek said. 
But opposing trainers have been trying to run down Lukas for decades. He won his first Preakness with Codex in 1980, and his 15 victories in Triple Crown races rank second all-time behind Bob Baffert (17).

Dornoch pulls off upset win at the Belmont Stakes


The win gives jockey Luis Saez his second Belmont Stakes victory and trainer Danny Gargan his first. “No one believed in this horse,” trainer Gargan said in the post-race broadcast. “Those last two races are throw-outs. I told Luis you run your race, nobody’s going to beat you. ”In April’s Blue Grass race, the horse looked to be the one to beat but finished fourth after losing to the other one to beat, Sierra Leone. The
following month at the Kentucky Derby, the horse started out at a disadvantage by drawing the No. 1 post position, ending the race in the middle of the field in 10th place. "When I rode this horse here at Saratoga last year, I told 
Danny, he had the Derby winner," Saez said. "Unfortunately, the Derby is a crazy race, but we had a good trip today."

A's Ballpark in Las Vegas

Las Vegas Does It Again, arguably it has become the entertainment capital of the world.

The Stadium will be located on the Las Vegas Strip, a 33,000-person capacity ballpark provides an outdoor feel with views of the city, Owners of all MLB teams unanimously approved the move.

England is the birthplace of soccer but Spain is the king, with their record fourth time as European Champions beating England 2-1.

LAS VEGAS - The Tropicana was dubbed the "Tiffany of the Strip," described as the most expensive hotel-casino built in Las Vegas when it opened with three stories and 300 rooms in 1957 at a cost of $15 million. Old timers look back and recall an era when Frank Sinatra once preformed at the Tropicana and he probably sang this song “so now that the end is near, I find it so amusing”

The new stadium on the Vegas Strip will sit on the site of the former Tropicana Hotel and Casino, it is expected to be completed for the start of the 2028 MLB season. Apparently not soon enough for the A’s owner John Joseph Fisher who since decided to let the A’s current lease at the Oakland Coliseum expire, much to the dismay of the local fans. So, instead of staying at the Coliseum, the team will spend three seasons at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, currently the home of the San Francisco Giants' Triple-A affiliate River Cats. This interim move will bring to a close 56 years of professional baseball in Oakland, thus now leaving the city without a single major professional sports franchise for the first time since 1959.
