Bob Baffert is back at the Kentucky Derby with 2 contenders after serving a 3-year suspension
SUMMARY: Bob Baffert returns to the Kentucky Derby for the first time in four years after serving a suspension due to Medina Spirit’s failed drug test. Settled back in Barn 33, he feels optimistic with two strong contenders, Rodriguez and Citizen Bull. Having missed the Derby for three years, Baffert found it difficult to watch. His reputation suffered after a 2021 disqualification, but Churchill Downs lifted his suspension in July 2023. He acknowledges the toll this ordeal took on him and his family, but remains dedicated to horse training, finding joy in the journey despite challenges in the sport.

Hot temperatures continue for holiday weekend
SUMMARY: Hot temperatures persist through the holiday weekend, with highs ranging from 92 to 95 degrees and increasing humidity making it feel close to 100 degrees. Pools are expected to stay busy as dry conditions continue with minimal rain chances Sunday. A cold front arrives Monday, bringing scattered showers and thunderstorms, which will taper off by Tuesday, though isolated storms may linger midweek. Tropical Depression Three is developing near the South Carolina coast, potentially becoming Tropical Storm Chantelle by Saturday. Louisville saw a unique Viking cruise ship visit, diverted due to high Mississippi River levels. Despite the heat, dry weather favors 4th of July fireworks celebrations.
