Sun Chariot Stakes 2021 Preview, Predictions & Betting Tips – Mother Earth Fancied on Newmarket Return
The feature race at Newmarket this Saturday is the 1m Group 1 Kingdom Of Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes (2:55). This contest for fillies and mares has an illustrious roll of honour with Sky Lantern and Laurens among recent winners. A daughter of the former tries to emulate her dam.

Michael Jordan Calls Golf “the Hardest Game To Play”
In a recent conversation with Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry, Michael Jordan discussed another passion of his — golf.

I can always respond to an opponent, defensive guy, offensive guy whatever but in golf, it’s like playing in a mirror. You’re battling yourself consistently to try to get perfection. Every swing. Every putt. For a com...
Behind the HYPE: How Topps Set the Standard for Modern Day Trading Cards
Topps is a prime example of the saying, “it’s not about who did it first, it’s about who did it right.” The earliest reported trading cards go all the way back to 1860 and were sold in sporting goods stores, then later were packaged with tobacco and cigarettes. Originally intended for adults, companies found that the cards were much more popular among kids, so they began selling them with chewing gum and candy rather than tobacco. In 1938, however, a game-changer would arise out of the pit of poachers in Topps. The company, which began as a Tobacco distribution business, switched gears to head into the bubblegum industry, and eventually trading cards. For Topps to compete with the other trading card companies, it needed to stand out, so they created a line of magic photo cards that were in...
