LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — In the end, nothing could stop Corach Rambler in another eventful edition of the Grand National.The 8-1 favorite produced a strong finish to win the world-famous horse race, which was delayed for 15 minutes Saturday after animal rights activists scaled fences around the perimeter of the course and got onto the track. Some of the activists apparently attempted to affix themselves to the race fences using glue and lock-on devices, according to the Animal Rising organization, before being taken away by police and security officials.Other activists, some using ladders, were prevented from getting onto the track by security, who shook the outer fences.

Kickin’ It with Kiz: Wouldn’t it be cool if NHL West is won in duel between Nathan MacKinnon and Connor McDavid?

The Avs have a better chance of making a deeper playoff run than the Nuggets. Even with the injury to captain Gabe Landeskog and the departure of Nazem Kadri, the core of this squad feels similar to last year’s team that won the Stanley Cup. Plus, the NBA West is such a gauntlet, it would be a surprise if the Nuggets got to the Western Conference finals.Victor, CU alumKiz: While the top-seeded Nuggets would be underdogs in a series against Phoenix or Golden State, there’s no team in the NHL West the Avs should fear (although the Los Angeles Kings would be a big, fat pain in the tushie). The staff here at Kickin’ Headquarters says: Let’s jump straight to the conference finals and a duel between Nathan MacKinnon and Connor McDavid to determine the fastest gun in the West.I believe this is the season Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets finally get to the NBA Finals. If not, coach Michael Malone may not be back next year. It’s finals or bust.Aaron, DenverKiz: The ...

Despite shortages in personnel over the last several years – especially this year – Antioch Police Chief Steven Ford assured residents that all beats are covered and there are no gaps in service.Ford told the City Council and others that he has restructured operations, collapsing the swing shift to ensure “full city coverage in all beats and districts,” with officers continuing to work 12-hour shifts. There are seven officers and two supervisors every shift, he said.“To be clear, we are not in the dire straits that some may have thought,” Ford said at last week’s council meeting. “We have the adequate coverage that we need…We’re going to do the work and keep the city safe.”The chief, who was hired permanently last fall, gave his first full crime and staffing report on Tuesday – days after it was announced that some two dozen officers were found engaging in racist or homophobic texts.“We need to come together as a community,” he said. “And we all know we’re better, strong...

Another record for Haaland, another loss for Lampard in EPL

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 21:00:25 GMT

The records keep coming for Erling Haaland at Manchester City. The losses are mounting for Frank Lampard at Chelsea.City’s 3-1 win over Leicester on Saturday, which moved the defending champions three points behind Premier League leader Arsenal, was inevitably propelled by Haaland even though the prolific striker had just 45 minutes on the field.By the time he was substituted at halftime, the Norway international had scored twice — one from the penalty spot, another a clipped finish following Kevin De Bruyne’s through ball — to move to 32 league goals for the season.That left Haaland tied with Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah for the most goals in a 38-game Premier League season. Salah’s haul came in the 2017-18 campaign.Haaland will surely go beyond that, and also is on course to break the record for a 42-game campaign, which stands at 34 goals and is jointly held by Andy Cole (at Newcastle in 1993-94) and Alan Shearer (at Blackburn in ’94-95).John Stones was...
