Golden Tempo

wait-and-see

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Cherie DeVaux hasn’t decided yet whether her Kentucky Derby winner will compete for the Triple Crown at the Preakness. DeVaux gave a wait-and-see answer on Sunday morning when asked whether Golden Tempo would run at the May 16 middle jewel in Maryland.

DeVaux, who a day prior became the first woman to train a Kentucky Derby winner, said she’ll consider the Preakness as long as Golden Tempo is in “tip-top shape.”

The usual post-Derby dilemma for trainers and owners is whether their horses are up for the two-week turnaround at the Preakness.

Nationals

avoid sweep

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nasim Nuñez had a pair of run-scoring singles, CJ Abrams had two hits and scored twice, and the Washington Nationals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 3-2 on Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep.

José Tena had an RBI triple for Washington.

Nationals right fielder James Wood lost Gary Sánchez’s fly ball off Gus Varland in the sun for a one-out single in the ninth. Richard Lovelady came on and, after giving up a single to Jake Bauers, retired Garrett Mitchell on a grounder that scored pinch-runner Blake Perkins. Lovelady then struck out Brandon Lockridge for his first save.

Lockridge had a double and a single for the Brewers, who had won three straight.

Milwaukee’s Logan Henderson, recalled Sunday from Triple-A Nashville, allowed two runs on three hits over six innings in his second start of the season.

Young goes

wire-to-wire

DORAL, Fla. (AP) — The only person who gave Cameron Young any trouble on Sunday was Cameron Young. He called a one-stroke penalty on himself while playing the par 4 second hole, after he caused his ball to move in the fairway. And then he made par anyway.

It was that sort of week: Young was unflappable and unbeatable. He went wire-to-wire alone on the lead at the Cadillac Championship, a final round of 4-under 68 getting him to 19 under for the week and six shots clear of world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.

President Donald Trump was watching. Scheffler finished second at 13 under.

Elliott gets

2nd victory

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Chase Elliott stayed ahead of Denny Hamlin for the closing four laps after a final restart to win at Texas, his second victory of the season and the 23rd of his career.

Elliott led five times for a race-high 87 laps and joined five-time winner Tyler Reddick as the only NASCAR Cup drivers this season with multiple wins.

After taking the bottom and clearing Hamlin on the backstretch on the first lap after the restart, Elliott managed the No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet over the last few laps to get to the checkered flag. Alex Bowman was third and Reddick was fourth.
