Trainer Bob Baffert is feeling pretty good about the chances of his latest Kentucky Derby contender
Emmanuel Lamur Jersey , Justify, despite the horse’s lack of experience on the track.
Baffert told “PodcastOne Sports Now” co-hosts Jim Litke and Tim Dahlberg that Justify – the early favorite for Saturday’s race – should be fine despite having only run three races in his life. Baffert said Justify has shown an ability to adjust quickly to race conditions, and he expects that to continue in the Derby.
Baffert is seeking his fifth Derby win with Justify, which won the Santa Anita Derby last month. The horse will be trying to become the first to win the Kentucky Derby after not racing as a 2-year-old since Apollo turned the trick in 1882.
One thing Baffert doesn’t want to see during Derby week
Dan Fouts Jersey , though, is an animal of another kind. Baffert says he has a thing about black cats, and hopes one doesn’t cross his path in Louisville.
AP basketball writer Brian Mahoney joins the hosts to talk about NBA playoffs, and Dahlberg discusses the Vegas Golden Knights and the scene in Las Vegas for the NHL playoffs.
And
Rashaan Melvin Jersey , of course, there’s some talk about food in the newly renamed Podcast One Sports Now show, backed by the worldwide reach of The Associated Press sports department.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones may not be on the same page as the league office when it comes to the national anthem, but he is on the same page as the president.
President Trump wrote on Twitter today that he supports Jones
Richard Sherman Jersey , responding to a tweet that quoted Jones saying the Cowboys’ “policy is you stand during the anthem.”
“Way to go Jerry. This is what the league should do!” Trump wrote.
Trump has relentlessly criticized the NFL for the last two years over players kneeling during the national anthem. This offseason the NFL attempted to appease Trump by saying players would no longer be allowed to kneel on the field. But Trump blasted that policy for allowing players to stay in the locker room during the anthem if they don’t want to stand.
What Trump wants is what Jones wants: A requirement, like the NBA has, that players stand for the anthem. The NFL is currently in talks with the players’ union about formulating a new policy, although it seems unlikely that the NFL union will agree to the NBA rule. And it seems very unlikely that the NFL will get Trump to stop his relentless criticism of the league.
