  • Omaha Beach out of Derby with Entrapped Epiglottis
    THURSDAY, MAY 2, 2019 WEDNESDAY’S TRACKSIDE DERBY REPORT OMAHA BEACH OUT OF by Steve Sherack DERBY WITH ENTRAPPED LOUISVILLE, KY - With the rising sun making its way through partly cloudy skies, well before the stunning late scratch of likely EPIGLOTTIS favorite Omaha Beach (War Front) rocked the racing world, the backstretch at Churchill Downs was buzzing on a warm and breezy Wednesday morning ahead of this weekend’s 145th GI Kentucky Derby. Two of Bob Baffert’s three Derby-bound ‘TDN Rising Stars’ Roadster (Quality Road) and Improbable (City Zip) were among the first to step foot on the freshly manicured surface during the special 15-minute training window reserved for Derby/Oaks horses at 7:30 a.m. Champion and fellow ‘Rising Star’ Game Winner (Candy Ride {Arg}) galloped during a later Baffert set at 9 a.m. Cont. p3 IN TDN EUROPE TODAY Omaha Beach & exercise rider Taylor Cambra Wednesday morning. | Sherackatthetrack CALYX SENSATIONAL IN ROYAL WARM-UP Calyx (GB) (Kingman {GB}) was scintillating in Ascot’s Fox Hill Farms’s Omaha Beach (War Front), the 4-1 favorite for G3 Pavilion S. on Wednesday.

  • Max Baer, Jr., He Cried and Had Nightmares Over the Incident for Decades Afterwards
    Biography He was born Maximilian Adelbert Baer in Omaha, Nebraska, the son of German immigrant Jacob Baer (1875-1938), who had a Jewish father and a Lutheran mother, and Dora Bales (1877-1938). His older sister was Fanny Baer (1905-1991), and his younger sister and brother were Bernice Baer (1911-1987) and boxer-turned actor Buddy Baer (1915-1986). His father was a butcher. The family moved to Colorado before Bernice and Buddy were born. In 1921, when Maxie was twelve, they moved to Livermore, California, to engage in cattle ranching. He often credited working as a butcher boy and carrying heavy carcasses of meat for developing his powerful shoulders. He turned professional in 1929, progressing steadily through the ranks. A ring tragedy little more than a year later almost caused him to drop out of boxing for good. Baer fought Frankie Campbell (brother of Brooklyn Dodgers Hall of Famer Adolph Camilli) on August 25, 1930 in San Francisco and knocked him out. Campbell never regained consciousness. After lying on the canvas for nearly an hour, Campbell was finally transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital where he eventually died of extensive brain hemorrages. An autopsy revealed that Baer's devastating blows had knocked Campbell's entire brain loose from the connective tissue holding it in place within his cranium. This profoundly affected Baer; according to his son, Max Baer, Jr., he cried and had nightmares over the incident for decades afterwards. He was charged with manslaughter. Although he was eventually acquitted of all charges, the California State Boxing Commission still banned him from any in-ring activity within their state for the next year.

  • Tommy Loughran
    Student Handout 4-Tommy Loughran Despite having fought in the early half of the last century, Tommy Loughran still has an active fan base. He was a prolific fighter, totaling 172 bouts in his career (he won 94—17 by KO—lost 23, drew 9, fought 45 to a “No Decision” result, and recorded one “No Contest”). In his long career, he fought in divisions ranging from the welterweight to the heavyweight. Considered to be a quick fighter who lacked a powerful knockout punch, Loughran nevertheless went undefeated from 1919, the year of his first professional fight, until he came up against Harry Greb in 1923. His style of fighting was based on timing and quickness of the punch, but an injury early in his career influenced his techniques. As the sparring partner for heavyweight great, Jack Dempsey, Loughran tried to get the aging boxer to improve his quickness in preparation for his bout against Gene Tunney. Loughran, who became known as the “Phantom of Philly”, fought against other notables, like the erratic James Braddock and Harry Grebe. When he broke his right hand, after just two years of fighting, Tommy was forced to rely on his left, which became known as one of the best in the history of the Light Heavyweight Division. After having great success in that division, Loughran moved up to the Heavyweight Division. He fought well there, until given a chance at the title versus Primo Carnera, a six foot, 270 giant. With Loughran weighing in at 184, it stands today as the greatest disparity of weight between fighters in a heavyweight title match.
