First hosted in 2017, the Real Rider Cup is back this week to support aftercare with 28 riders signed up to take part in the first part of the show hosted in Lexington, Ky. on June 28, with the second leg of the event hosted in Maryland during the Mars Maryland 5 Star event at Fair Hill on Oct. 18.

Wow, where has this month gone?! With spring shows in full swing and our eyes on summer schedules, the calendar has been jam-packed as of late, and you know what they say, “time flies when you’re having fun!”

For Teddy Spaghetti, it’s been a month of new experiences, well-deserved rest, and getting back to the basics. For Natty Bumppo, it’s been another month of getting to know each other and weighing our future options.

This week, TV and streaming coverage of horse racing expands to an international scale, as NBC Sports will stream races all five days of the prestigious Royal Ascot meeting in England starting Tuesday, June 17, and ending Saturday, June 21, providing television coverage of the event on the final day as well.

“Galerio is a very special horse to me,” Ashley Nelson said. “I galloped and groomed him as a coming 2-year-old.” Nelson groomed and rode him until he was claimed during a race in November of 2019. She had had a special bond with the horse and one day hoped to retire him.

As we head into one of the most exciting times of the year for sports fans, this summer brings with it some of the most heated rivalries we've seen in recent years. From tennis to the NBA to the world of horse racing, these are some of the head-to-head matchups that are simmering with the intensity of an egg frying on a Miami sidewalk.
