 With the Triple Crown no longer an option, Sackatoga Stables has heeded the advice of trainer Barclay Tagg, and thus Tiz The Law will not run in the Preakness on October 3 in Baltimore. Instead, Team Sackatoga will take aim at the much richer Breeders' Cup at Keeneland on November 7.

Owner Jack Knowlton might say it's about the best interests of his star colt, but there's also the lure of the money, and much more than is being offered in the Preakness.

A quick peek at the golf schedules for a couple of Colonial Council schools shows the matches are tightly bunched together, with the season starting tomorrow. LaSalle and Catholic Central, in particular, are set for as many as four matches in a week, with back-to-back matches tomorrow & Friday to start the season.

Taking another look at Troy High's schedule, the Flying Horses will start, as previously posted, with five matches in a span of ten days (September 24-October 3), with the second block of five matches over nine days (October 8-17). Weather permitting, of course.
