The Weekend Winners, Youngest to Oldest

This weekend was an amazing few days in sport, so let’s celebrate the best of the best…
At Churchill Downs, Justify turned in a stellar performance winning the Kentucky Derby on a muddy track; becoming the 1st first horse in 136 years to win after not having raced as a 2 year old.

In one of the most exciting moments of NBA basketball thus far, and perhaps in decades, LeBron James hit a buzzer beater giving the Cavilers a 3-0 series lead over the Toronto Raptors. The last minute shot was the kind of shot you’d take at the end of the night, eyes closed, and half drunk, left handed. It was the shot of the year if not the half century.

The NHL has warned Brad Marchand to stop licking opponents during games; no, he literally licks them with his real lounge when they get too close to him on the ice. Officials say if he does it again there will be consequences.

In NASCAR, Hershel McGriff mad history Saturday, becoming the oldest competitor in NSCAR; he’s 90 and ran in the K&N Pro Series West in Tucson, Arizona coming in 18th.
