How Toby Keith will have a Kentucky Derby contender racing in 2025
Sadly, the late Toby Keith won't be around to enjoy what was his "dream."
The country singer who died in 2024 was a huge horse racing fan and owned Dream Walkin' Farms in Oklahoma, which helped bring Render Judgement to the 2025 Kentucky Derby.

Keith's Twitter account posted this message after the Derby lineup was announced: "It was Toby's dream….Render Judgement is going to the [Kentucky Derby]. He worked so hard to finally have one there! Toby will have the best seat in the house to watch."
This is just Fantastic!
We know there will be country music fans everywhere rooting this one on.

WNBA, WNBPA CBA meeting gets extremely important update
The post WNBA, WNBPA CBA meeting gets extremely important update appeared first on ClutchPoints. More than 40 WNBA players gathered in Indianapolis on Thursday, July 17, for an in-person meeting with the league as part of ongoing negotiations over a new collective bargaining agreement, or CBA. It marked the largest in-person turnout by union members in WNBPA history during CBA talks. The meeting between the Women's National Basketball Players Association and WNBA officials lasted a couple of hours, per Kendra Andrews of ESPN, and concluded without a resolution. In a statement issued after the session — shared on X, formerly Twitter, by Andrews — the union expressed disappointment with the league's latest proposal, calling it insufficient. 'The WNBA's response to our proposals fails to address the priorities we've voiced from the day we opted out: a transformational CBA that delivers our rightful share of the business that we've built, improves working conditions, and ensures the success we create lifts both today's players and the generations that follow,' the WNBPA said in a public statement. The union emphasized that player demands have been clearly communicated and criticized the league for undervaluing the labor that has helped drive the league's growth. 'Media rights, ratings, revenue, team valuations, expansion fees, attendance, and ticket sales — are all up in historic fashion,' the statement continued. 'But short-changing the working women who make this business possible stalls growth.' The current CBA expires at the end of October, and players voted last fall to opt out in order to seek better terms. If no agreement is reached by the deadline, a potential lockout looms. Union president Nneka Ogwumike had previously expressed hope that face-to-face dialogue would ease tensions, but the WNBPA ultimately left the meeting unsatisfied. 'We are committed to the fight,' the union said. 'We are committed to returning to the negotiating table. And we will not stop until we achieve the transformational CBA this moment demands.' Further negotiations are expected in the coming months as both sides work toward an agreement before the offseason.

Milwaukee Brewers vs Miami Marlins score, live game updates, highlights
The Milwaukee Brewers celebrate 25 years at Miller Park/American Family Field as they take on the Miami Marlins on July 27 prior to a much-anticipated alumni home run derby. Freddy Peralta (12-4, 2.85 ERA) starts on the mound for Milwaukee opposite Miami's Cal Quantrill (3-8, 5.24 ERA). Follow along for live updates. Blake Perkins can't rob the homer but saves a run It didn't take long for a bizarre play to unfold. With two outs in the top of the first, what was ruled as an Agustín Ramírez solo home run on the field was not only overturned upon replay review but the umpiring crew actually determined he had to go back a base because the defense gave up on the play once the call was made. Ramírez hit a towering fly to straightaway center off Peralta that Blake Perkins, playing his first game at American Family Field this year, nearly made a spectacular grab on. Perkins snagged the ball in his webbing as he reached over the fence, but it slipped out as he pulled it back. Somehow, though, the ball never hit anything but Perkins' glove past fence and it fell back into play after bouncing on the yellow padding. Peralta wound up walking the next hitter but got Otto Lopez to ground out to end the inning. What time is the Brewers game today? Time: 3:10 p.m. CT What channel is the Brewers game on today?
