Canterbury Park Hosts Minnesota Derby, Oaks Featuring Top 3-Year-Olds

Saturday's big day of racing at Canterbury Park features the $75,000 Minnesota Derby and Minnesota Oaks, showcasing top local thoroughbreds such as Sushi Man and Flying Martini, both with recent winning streaks. Trainer Coty Rosin is confident in Sushi Man's speed and hopes to see him lead the race, which is restricted to Minnesota-bred horses running one mile and seventy yards. The Minnesota Oaks includes fillies who frequently compete against each other, with Rosin also entering Vintage Port. Meanwhile, Indiana politics remains active with Vice President JD Vance visiting Indianapolis to discuss topics including potential mid-decade congressional redistricting, drawing mixed reactions from Democrats and protesters. Controversy has arisen from allegations involving AI-generated deepfake videos in Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith's office, though investigations have found no evidence of the video's existence. These events underscore the dynamic political and sporting landscapes in their respective states.
