It didn’t quite make the Top 5, but Amazombie won the Breeder’s Cup Sprint this weekend. The horse wins honorable mention for having my favorite name of all the horses at Churchill Downs this weekend. On now to the actual Top 5 moments from the weekend of November 4th-6th.
#5 St. Nicholas Abbey
No, that’s not a place. It’s a horse. And the horse did better than place, he won (see what I did there?). St Nicholas Abbey was never better than fourth place until the final stretch when he easily outpaced every other horse on the track. The come from

Name That Horse
by Ronald A. Rowe November 3rd, 2011 | Football, Horse Racing, Weekend Preview
Halloween is over. The kids have gorged themselves on candy. Now it's time to concentrate on the treats in store for us next weekend. The Top 5 sporting events that the Buzzer Eagle staff is looking forward to are:
#5 The Breeders' Cup
The Breeder's Cup is the biggest stage outside of the Triple Crown races for horse racing. The annual world championship event, held in Louisville, KY showcases the best of the best thoroughbreds in the final races of the season. The best part? The names of the horses, of course. Uncle Mo is the favorite, but other contenders are

All American Top 5

Not to go all sour grapes on you, but I was already bored with the Gold Cup by the time the US team got trucked by Panama in the first round. There were plenty of memorable moments from sports that Americans are good at this weekend. The Top 5 according to our exclusive Buzzer Eagle poll:
#5 Triple Crown Trisected
That's the last we'll pay attention to horse racing this season. No horse claimed the Triple Crown - again. In fact, as usual, the crown was shared among three horses. The winner at the Belmont Stakes

In the spirit of inclusiveness, this week's Top 5 is the most diverse and inclusive ever. 5 Events, 5 different sports, including one from Europe.
#5 The Teams Get Relegated
"Relegated" is the European word for "kicked to the curb", or something along those lines. On the final day of the season, with hopes of moving onto the upper tier of soccer, the Blackpool Tangerines blew a 2-1 half time lead to Manchester United, the New York Yankees of the soccer world who had nothing at all to gain from the win. By the end of the day,

Streak-End Review
by Ronald A. Rowe May 9th, 2011 | Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, Horse Racing, Kentucky Derby, MLB, NBA, Weekend Review
This was a very streaky weekend. The teams that won, won. The teams that lost seemed like they could barely find their way to the stadiums. Sweep was the word of the weekend. The top 5 streaks, sweeps, and wins of the weekend:
#5 Bruins Ruin Flyers
The Philadelphia Flyers found their way into the second round of the playoff despite a complete lack of effective in goal tending. The Boston Bruins were distinctly unimpressed. The Broad Street Bullies will have plenty of time to consider their lack of defense - they were outscored 20-5 in the
