Great day of action on Saturday. Big Brown showed he’s the real deal with a convincing win in the 134th running of the Kentucky Derby. AP Racing Writer, Beth Harris on Filly Eight Belles.

Clint Bowyer wins in Richmond, in a race Dale Earnhardt Jr. should have, no wait, Denny Hamlin should have won. I’m a Dale Jr. fan, but Denny Hamlin easily gets the hard luck award this week. Won’t talk about Kyle Busch…yet.

Denny Hamlin led 381 of the first 382 laps in last night’s Dan Lowry 400 at Richmond International Raceway. Then, check.

A check was the shape of the cut in his right front tire. Hamlin, formerly of Chesterfield, finished 24th.

Phillies Chase Utley hit his MLB leading 13th home run against the San Francisco Giants, but the Giants came away with a 10 inning, 3-2 win.

The Giants pushed across the go-ahead run in the 10th on an RBI single by Bengie Molina to grab a 3-2 victory in front of a chilled sellout crowd of 43,804 at Citizens Bank Park.

The Phillies had problems in areas other than starting pitching. They managed only three hits, none after the fifth, against four San Francisco pitchers, and the Giants touched them for four stolen bases, including one by Randy Winn that helped Winn become the deciding run in the 10th.

They have to be rockin in New Orleans right now as the Hornets beat the San Antonio Spurs 101-82 in game one of the Western Conference semifinals

Neither the San Antonio Spurs nor a ring of fire gone awry could derail the Hornets on their first night in the Western Conference semifinals.

The Hornets used a third-quarter comeback against the Spurs, then beat them 101-82 before a sellout crowd of 18,040 on Saturday night at the New Orleans Arena. A game that was oddly delayed in the first half by on-court residue from a fire extinguisher gave the Hornets a 1-0 lead in their best-of-seven series against the Spurs.

Hey Oscar is back! Oscar De La Hoya looking for another big payday came out of retirement to beat Steve Forbes in a 12-round decision.

The win set up a September rematch with Floyd Mayweather Jr., who beat De La Hoya by split decision last May in what was the richest fight ever.

Of course…

Mayweather has yet to sign for the rematch, though De La Hoya expressed confidence that the money would be too great for him to refuse.

David Beckham, yeah he’s that good…Ric from over at The World’s Beautiful Game sent this over, Video: REAL SALT LAKE v GALAXY, Beckham’s two goals.

His first two-goal game in MLS is good for a tie.
