LOUISVILLE, Ky. —  Mystik Dan’s road to the Triple Crown might be taking a detour before the Preakness Stakes. Kenny McPeek, trainer of the Kentucky Derby winner, said Sunday morning that he has not committed to going to Baltimore to race May 18 after the horse seemed a little off after Saturday’s victory. “We’re not committed to the Preakness,” McPeek said. “I ran him back once in two weeks and it completely backfired on me.” One thing that trainers use to gauge a horse’s fitness is how they eat. In short, an empty feed bucket means a happy horse. “Most trainers don’t talk about all this,” McPeek said. “Look, cards on the table, face up. He left three-quarters of his feed. We couldn’t hardly get everybody out of the barn until midnight, so he didn’t really get a great night’s rest. We’ll watch him today and tomorrow.” At this point it is closer to a coin flip more than anything else if Mystik Dan will run in the Preakness. There is no need to take any chances with a colt whose breeding value jumped exponentially after

A driver was killed and his passenger injured after his SUV slammed into a church in South Los Angeles, authorities said. The crash took place shortly after midnight Saturday morning, when the driver — a man in his 40s — was heading west on Manchester Avenue, according to Norma Eisenman, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department. The vehicle struck a light pole and then the building, causing the driver to be ejected, Eisenman said. He was pronounced dead at the scene, and his injured passenger was taken to a hospital, she said. The collision caused major damage to Challenge of Faith Church of God in Christ, on Manchester just west of Central Avenue. David Jessie, an assistant pastor at the church, told KTLA-TV that cars have crashed into the church before — a situation he attributed to dangerous road conditions on Manchester. Church leaders have previously asked city leaders to do something about a nearby dip in the road, he said. “We have been through this so many times,” he told the station. After surveying the damage, the church was yellow-tagged by building

Hammer Director Ann Philbin was given the celebrity treatment at the museum’s star-packed gala Saturday night as a host of arts and culture luminaries, including Jodie Foster, Mark Bradford, Hilton Als, k.d. lang, Lari Pittman and Will Ferrell took to the stage during an elaborate sit-down dinner to sing her praises as she readies to retire after 25 years. Guest speakers took on a tone of reverence as they paid tribute to Philbin’s many accomplishments, noting that she had emerged as a trailblazer, helping to transform the arts landscape in Los Angeles with her deep historical knowledge, her commitment to up-and-coming artists and her enthusiasm for a scene that in the last quarter-century has seen Los Angeles define itself as one of the world’s preeminent meccas of fine art. Artist Bradford recalled meeting Philbin in 1999, a time when he didn’t know if he’d be able to scrape together a few dollars to pay the valet after attending parties she‘d invited him to. He remembered her as both bold and vulnerable — a woman who could persuade collectors to give her their finest pieces while

The union representing the 10 University of California police departments says UC administrators, not the UCLA police chief, are to blame for UCLA’s response to on-campus protests last week. In a statement, the Federated University Police Officers Association said the lack of response to violence from pro-Israeli counter-protesters at the UCLA encampment on Tuesday, and subsequent raid on the encampment early Thursday morning, followed the guidelines written by UC administrators. Officers raid pro-Palestinian protest encampment at USC ”The written guidelines for roles and responsibilities make clear that senior UC administrators on each campus are solely responsible for the University’s response to campus protests; those administrators decide the objective, and campus police are only responsible for tactics in implementing those objectives,” said Wade Stern, President of the FUPOA. “As such, the UCLA administration owns all the fallout from the response and lack of response to this protest.” Police react while pro-Palestinian students stand their ground after police breached their encampment at the campus of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in Los Angeles, California, early on May 2, 2024.
