But in the final few paces, Rich Strike cut to the inside to beat two favorites, Zandon and Epicenter, to win the race. Rich Strike, entered only when Ethereal Road scratched out Friday… Source link

The Razzies are awarded to the worst films of the year and are announced the day before the Academy Awards. LeBron’s ‘Space Jam’ remake earns Razzies LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – JULY… Source link
