    Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan is every bit the horse to beat in the Preakness. He's going for the second jewel of the Triple Crown on what could be a sloppy surface with rain in the forecast Saturday. That's no problem for Mystik Dan, who has won in the mud before. But he'll have to contend with Bob Baffert's Imagination, Brad Cox's Catching Freedom and others in the field of eight. A victory would set up a historic opportunity with the Belmont set to be run at Saratoga Race Course next month.

      Masters champion Scottie Scheffler was arrested Friday morning on his way to the PGA Championship. Stunning images showed him handcuffed as he was led to a police car. He was arrested for second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and not following police directions. 

        Xander Schauffele has set the PGA Championship record with a 62. He also ties a major championship record that he shared last year in the U.S. Open. Schauffele took advantage of rain-softened conditions at Valhalla. And he's been playing some good golf. Schauffele was runner-up last week in the Wells Fargo Championship. Schauffele played the back nine in 31. He ran off three birdies in a four-hole stretch on the front nine to get in range of the record. The previous mark at the PGA was a 63. One of those was Jose Maria Olazabal at Valhalla 10 years ago.

He led the team to seven major trophies including a sixth Champions League title and a first English league championship in 30 years. Klopp says, "I would not be happy if I'd have thought I could have done more. I couldn't. I couldn't have done more."
