The rest of the field settled behind, setting up a sprint to the finish around the final turn, during which Kingsbarns pulled away comfortably to remain unbeaten in three races.“The horse jumped pretty well out of the gate and was able to get himself into the lead right away,” Prat said. “From that point, we were able to get a pretty soft pace and he was really comfortable, in a good rhythm, breathing well. “He sprinted home really well,” Prat added.A 9-2 second favorite in the field of 12, Kingsbarns paid $11 to win. The result virtually assures the 3-year-old colt a spot in the 20-horse field for the Kentucky Derby on...

AP source: Bobby Wagner returning to Seahawks on 1-year deal

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:23:25 GMT

SEATTLE (AP) — Bobby Wagner is headed back to the Seattle Seahawks after agreeing to a one-year deal Saturday to rejoin the team with which he became one of the top linebackers in the NFL, according to a person with knowledge of the deal. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the team didn’t announce the agreement. Seattle teammates Quandre Diggs and Tyler Lockett first broke the news on Twitter, and NFL Network and ESPN said the deal was worth up to $7 million. Wagner spent the first 10 seasons of his career with the Seahawks after being selected in the second round of the 2012 draft by Seattle. He became a six-time first-team All-Pro selection during his tenure in Seattle, where he was regularly regarded as one of the best middle linebackers in the league. Wagner was released by Seattle just over a year ago in a salary cap move. Wagner was due nearly $17 million and wanted to give Jordyn Brooks the opportunity to step into the middle ...
