Eph alum here, Jeff. And father of an Eph alum. Happy for your son and hope he loves the place.
Could not be more proud. Hard work and dedication led him to his dream school. I’m lucky to be father to such a wonderful son. And also the new biggest fan of Williams baseball.

Godspeed DWL.
D. Wayne Lukas retired this week at age 89, and entered hospice care. He was unlike anything racing had seen: Audacious, obsessive, unparalleled. determined to make fast horses at the expense of everything else. One of a kind.

Cool story, Dan.
@ByTimLayden I was waiting to cross Union Ave and he pulled next to my son and I in a golf cart. My son was only 5 or six at the time but Lukas chatted him up while the light changed and while we crossed. 10 years later my son still remembers and still looked for horses on the card.

Some thoughts on Bob Baffert's return to the Derby.
It’s been four years since Bob Baffert ran a horse in the Kentucky Derby, and today, he rejoins the biggest racing party in the world. 🐎 #KyDerby

Derby Day re-share on this one.
Journalism is not only the Kentucky Derby favorite, he is a modern symbol of resilience, chased from his home by wildfires, only to return, undeterred and unbothered. The name ain't bad, either. Story for @NBCSports .
