SPORTS CENTER CONTEST #190
TRIFECTA

For tonight’s horse racing, we were in Harrah's Louisiana Downs, a horse racing track and casino located in Bossier City in northwestern Louisiana.

The 7th race was the one we were watching today, and it was a fast track with a distance of one mile and seventy yards on the dirt.

As we know, horses can be scratched (or removed) from a race due to injury or other factors prior to post time.
7 horses in Race #7 were scratched prior to the race today

Here’s what the updated race card looked like…


Although most of the scratched horses had lower odds to win, at least one of them featured in half of our picks!
To those affected, all we can say is…BUMMER...

FINAL RESULTS
WIN - Double Down Bob
PLACE - Walker The Wiz
SHOW - Theboyzgrand Kis

Only 5 of the original 12 horses actually took part in the race...but with the predicted top horses, Theboyzgrand Kis and Double Down Bob featuring in the final 3, there were LOTS of winners.

24 people had their top horse finish in the top 3 and will share the pool.

Steve Smith tops ICC Test batting rankings despite not playing a match since March

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-08-14/s ... tion=sport

Aussie Steve Smith may be limited to playing in twenty20 competitions around the world during his exile from international cricket, but that hasn't stopped him from climbing back to the top of the international Test batting rankings.

Despite having not played a Test since March, the former Australian captain has returned to the top of the International Cricket Council [ICC] Test batting rankings ahead of India captain and arch-rival Virat Kohli.

Smith is currently serving a 12-month ban from international and state cricket for his role in the ball tampering scandal that engulfed Australian cricket during the third Test against South Africa in March.

Due to the way the ICC calculates its player rankings his score has not changed since that time, meaning he remains on top of the table owing to his stellar form with the bat before his ban.

Smith had been overtaken at the top of the rankings list last week by Kohli after he scored 149 and 51 in the first Test against England at Edgbaston earlier this month.

However, the Indian captain's tenure at the top of the rankings was short lived, after both he and his team capitulated in the second Test at Lords last week.

Kohli's scores of 23 and 17 in India's innings and 159 run defeat in that second Test meant that his ranking score fell by a sufficient amount for him to fall back to second spot.

The two rivals — who have clashed on the field in the past — have been denied an on-field reunion in Australia this summer due to Smith's ban.

Australia will host India in four Tests, three twenty20s and three one-day internationals this summer.

Fellow Australian David Warner — who is also serving a suspension from international cricket after the ball tampering saga — is currently ranked in fifth spot behind Joe Root.

ICC Test batting rankings:

Steve Smith (AUS) - 929
Virat Kohli (IND) - 919
Joe Root (ENG) - 851
Kane Williamson (NZL) - 847
David Warner (AUS) - 820
