It’s in our bones. It’s part of America’s DNA.” The air date wasn’t immediately available Friday morning, and representatives from TODAY didn’t immediately provide

This Kentucky Drive-In Shows Brand-New Movies For Less Than A Single Streaming Rental

First-run Hollywood movies, a burger topping bar, and blow-up slides for the kids, all at one Kentucky drive-in. That combination alone made me sit up a little straighter. The concession stand here gets talked about as much as the screen. Pizza, pulled pork sandwiches, milkshakes, and even funnel cake fries share the menu.

Breeders' Cup Comes Up Empty for Most of the West Coast

With the exception of Bob Baffert and his merry band of traveling players, trainers based in California came away from the 43rd Breeders' Cup Championships Oct. 30-31 at Keeneland with a few minor placings and bags of meaningless souvenirs. Without a doubt, to ship fit, accomplished Thoroughbreds so far for so little can be discouraging. A 1-for-14 strike rate in the win column is grim.
