The sad news first - Horse of the Year, Patches O'Houlihan could not be saved. Saturday at Woodbine, a mind-boggling daily double produced by apprentice rider, Xarel Forde and a sweep of 2 Stakes races by veteran Rafael Hernandez. Jockey Flavien Prat did something no other rider has done in the 162-year history at Saratoga Trainer Randy Harris was back in the winners circle at Mohawk for the 1st time in 10 years. Garnet Barnsdale made a remarkable prediction last week about a 2-year-old pacer named Beau Jangles – and we ask Dr. Ian Moore is this horse as good as Barnsdale says he is? Then on Saturday, the Moore-trained Prince Hal Hanover came in 1st in the Meadowlands Pace, only to be disqualified and just how ironic was that? They ran the Gridiron Classic at Ajax Downs - it took less than 7 seconds, and 2 wins by Brian Bell meant free ice cream for the fans. And we give you 7 reasons to go to Mohawk this week to bet on horses in their race book.

This week's Key Races & Bets podcast features three excellent turf races, starting with the Tale of the Cat Stakes at Monmouth, then moving to the Highlander Stakes and Nassau Stakes at Woodbine. All three races feature excellent opportunities for profit. 

In this episode of Sermon Notes, host Hunter Melton is joined by Harpeth Heights campus and teaching pastor Brandon Hays for a deep dive into Acts 4:19-20 as part of their nine-week “For the Church” series. Together, they explore the theme of gospel boldness in the face of resistance, reflecting on how Peter and John's conviction and reliance on the Holy Spirit can inspire the church today. The conversation ranges from personal experiences in ministry at Woodbine and Harpeth Heights, to practical advice on living authentically, distinguishing true boldness from brashness, and the importance of being available, intentional, and prayerful in sharing our faith. Listeners are encouraged to realign their lives with the foundational truths and rhythms of the early church, stepping out in obedient boldness fueled by the power of the Holy Spirit.

In this episode of Sermon Notes, host David Hannah, Campus and Teaching Pastor at The Church at Lockeland Springs, is joined by Hunter Melton from The Church at Woodbine for a deep dive into Acts 2 and the vibrant community life of the early church. Together, they reflect on what it means to live out authentic Christian community today, discussing the challenges and joys of fostering intentional fellowship, radical generosity, and heartfelt devotion amongst believers. With honesty and humor, they explore why modern church experiences often fall short of the Acts 2 model and share practical wisdom on bridging that gap, cultivating awe, and building meaningful relationships within the body of Christ.
