Sky Sports Racing is set for a busy Monday as Windsor, Lingfield and Newcastle host live action.2.32 Windsor – Group 1 entrant Hilitany bids to follow up course and distance winGeorge Boughey’s colt Hilitany heads a max field of 14 for the Oktoberfest Comes To Windsor EBF Novice Stakes over six furlongs.

He holds entries in the Group 2 Mill Reef stakes and Group 1 Middle Park Stakes going forward and looks well-placed…

For the second straight season, Geno Smith has proven to be a thorn in the Patriots’ side, even if the veteran quarterback doesn’t see it that way. “I wouldn’t say I’m the thorn in anybody’s side,” Smith told the Herald after the Raiders spoiled New England’s season opener with a 20-13 victory. “We got a win today that was good. They are our opponent. We are on the road, and we had to win it.” Smith, in his 12th season in the NFL, threw for 362 yards and a touchdown while posting a 102.8 quarterback rating in his Las Vegas…

Patriots fans say they are excited that the Mike Vrabel era has begun in Foxboro, but they will have to wait a little longer to see the new head coach earn his first win at Gillette Stadium. New England lost its season opener at home to Las Vegas on Sunday, 20-13, with fans letting out loud boos as they started to exit the stadium before the Week 1 dud came to an end. Sterling resident Steve Maynard, a season ticket holder for 15 years, stayed through it all. He joined fellow season ticket holders on the field after the game,…

FOXBORO – You weren’t wrong to believe. They were favored, after all. And by the time anyone pulled up to Gillette Stadium, bad weather – a time-tested tell for major moments in Patriots history – had already descended on Foxboro. So as rain doused Mike Vrabel’s head-coaching debut, it was no surprise to see the Patriots‘ defense generate three straight three-and-outs in the first half. Or watch Drake Maye lead multiple scoring drives. Or spot the head coach and quarterback duck into the locker room at halftime with a 10-7 lead and a strengthening grip on the game. Victory felt…

If there’s any game in which the Red Sox need everyone to be on their A-game, it’s this one. The free fall post Roman injury isn’t doing anyone any favors—and with the Yankees and Blue Jays playing a series, should have been a chance to gain ground on either opponent. Instead, it feels like we’re going to end up in the hunt for the final Wild Card spot. Can Bello help right the ship or will the Sox keep feeling the venom from the Dbacks?⚾️ First Pitch: 4:10pm EDT — Chase Field, Phoenix, AZ

What a weirdly perfectly executed 9th inning by Alex Cora.Someone prone to over-managing and not having things work out, his tinkering in the whole inning worked out to perfection. After Romy Gonzalez—himself a pinch hitter for Rob Refsnyder who came out of the game after missing a diving catch—got on with a base hit, Nate Eaton—who came in to play right field—drew a walk to set up a great two-on, one out jam. Ceddanne clearly looked frustrated at the dish wih his weak pop out. Then, not Connor Wong, but pinch hitter Nick Sogard comes up as clutch as can…

Boston Bruins prospect James Hagens is taking the long view on his path to the NHL. The club’s 2025 first-round draft pick confirmed earlier this summer he will return to Boston College for his sophomore season rather than jumping straight to the pros. After being selected seventh overall, Hagens weighed his options with family and team officials before deciding that another year in the NCAA was best. “It’s definitely something that I talked about a lot with my family and the staff of the Bruins,” Hagens told WEEI, as transcribed by Michael DeRosa of The Hockey News. “There’s no reason…

The NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks has become the first US major league sports franchise to seek to commercialise the stairways at its home arena.

The Boston Red Sox announced Marcelo Mayer news before Monday’s game against the Houston Astros.

At the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, the Boston Bruins selected James Hagens with the seventh-overall pick. Hagens still being available when the Bruins were on the clock was undoubtedly a nice surprise, as he was expected to go earlier in the draft. Yet, that did not come to fruition, and the Bruins took advantage of that by picking him.
