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

War Pass Nicked and Out of The Kentucky Derby

My early choice to win the Kentucky Derby, War Pass, is now out of the race. He has a minor fracture in one of his front legs. Although the break is not life-threatening, it does take the Juvenile Champion off the shelf for a few months.
