The LIV Golf tournament in Westfield beat attendance predictions. How the city benefited
More than 60,000 attendees visited The Club at Chatham Hills in Westfield over the weekend for the LIV Golf tournament, according to the city, generating increased foot traffic for some local businesses. The three-day tournament was LIV Golf's highest-attended U.S. event to date. The event will be back in Westfield in August of next year, with tickets already for sale. In the months leading up to the golf tournament, which featured some of the best players in the sport, Westfield officials said they expected it to have a $21-29 million economic impact on the city. Westfield and Hamilton County Tourism, Inc. are still working to calculate the actual economic impact the tournament had on the city, but it drew in far more attendees than the 25,000 officials had predicted in November that the original projections were based on. Previous coverage: Westfield to host LIV Golf event in August, with expected $21M economic impact A few business owners said they noticed an increase in sales. 'Most of last week, we definitely saw increased foot traffic with visitors in the area,' said Caroline Commons, general manager of Rivet Coffee Bar & Roastery, which has locations on Jersey Street and inside the public library in Westfield. 'Friday and Saturday, in particular, were especially busy days for us.' Many of the visitors had lanyards for the tournament or were wearing golf attire, Caroline Commons said. Allie Commons, the owner of the coffee shop business, said Rivet came close to having one of their top selling Saturdays during the tournament. Zoe Haugk, a manager at Titus Bakery and Deli, just off State Road 32, said her business also saw increased foot traffic coming from the golf tournament. They got a special order for golf ball cookies at the bakery, Haugk said. Some other owners reached by IndyStar, though, said they didn't notice an impact. A city official estimated it will take about 30 days to complete the economic impact report for the event. The tournament featured fan engagement activities, interactive experiences, live music and opportunities for local businesses to participate and benefit from the event's economic impact. Ahead of the event, The Club at Chatham Hills lengthened its course, renovated bunkers and made other improvements. LIV Golf hosts events all over the world, including in South Korea, Dallas, Andalucía, the UK and Chicago. 'The Indiana region, city of Westfield, Hamilton County, and Chatham Hills have all been tremendous hosts to LIV Golf, and we're looking forward to building on this momentum when the league returns to The Club at Chatham Hills in 2026,' said Ross Hallett, LIV Golf executive vice president, head of events in a news release announcing the tournament's return to Westfield next year. 'From the course's outstanding design to the record attendance and fantastic energy throughout the community, this week's Indiana debut has exceeded our high expectations. We've already begun planning for next year, and we can't wait to raise the bar in 2026.' Westfield Mayor Scott Willis said he was also looking forward to the event returning to the city next year. 'We couldn't be more excited to welcome LIV Golf back to Westfield in 2026 having already experienced the incredible energy, economic boost and international spotlight during this year's tournament,' Willis said in the news release. 'It's an outstanding opportunity to showcase our community, hospitality and quality of life that makes Westfield a destination.'

Fillies She Feels Pretty, Nitrogen, Velocity star in weekend racing
1 of 3 | She Feels Pretty wins Saturday's Grade I E.P. Taylor at Woodbine, earning a Breeders' Cup bid. Photo by Michael Burns, courtesy of Woodbine Aug. 18 (UPI) -- It was fillies on parade in weekend horse racing as She Feels Pretty held off the Godolphin invasion in Canada, Nitrogen raised a hoof for division honors with an impressive win at Saratoga and Velocity upset the Del Mar Oaks. Mansetti won a competitive edition of the King's Plate at Woodbine and there was 2-year-old action hither and yon, on dirt and turf. In France, Sunday's Group 1 The Aga Khan Studs Prix Jacques le Marois was everything promised and more. Here's more ... Distaff Nitrogen seized the lead turning for home in Saturday's $600,000 Grade I Alabama for 3-year-old fillies at Saratoga and, despite wandering around in the final furlong, held off the favorite, Good Cheer, to win by 1 1/2 lengths. Margie's Intention was fourth. La Cara, who led all the way to win the Grade I Acorn in her last start with Good Cheer fifth, set a very slow pace in the Alabama and held the lead to the turn, but faded to finish fourth. Queen Azteca, from Norway via Dubai to Saratoga, was not in the mix and finished fifth. Nitrogen, by Medaglia d'Oro, now is a Grade I winner on dirt and has multiple graded stakes placings on turf. Overall, she has won six of 10 starts and never been worse than third. Kentucky Oaks winner Good Cheer, also by Medaglia d'Oro, suffered her second straight defeat after starting her career with a seven-race win skein, but trainer Brad Cox said her effort into an unfavorable pace scenario showed she's still a credible force in the division. Filly & Mare Turf She Feels Pretty defended local honor against the invading Godolphin forces and scored a "Win and You're In" berth in the Breeders' Cup World Championships in Saturday's $750,000 Grade I E.P. Taylor Stakes at Woodbine. The 4-year-old Karakontie filly, with John Velazquez aboard for trainer Cherie DeVaux, came five-wide to take the lead in the stretch in the 1 1/4-mile contest. Diamond Rain, making her first top-level start with William Buick riding for Charlie Appleby, followed in her wake and was moving well at the end, but came up a head short. Velazquez said She Feels Pretty was soundly bumped and suffered cuts during the backstretch run and "from then on, it was a wrestling match with her ... but she got it done." She Feels Pretty, racing for Lael Stables, racked up her eighth victory in 12 starts and has never been worse than third. Five of the eight wins came in Grade I races. Breeders' Cup? "Most definitely," DeVaux said. Out west at Del Mar, Velocity rallied into contention with about a furlong to run in Saturday's $300,000 Grade I Del Mar Oaks, and then took the rail route through the stretch and outfinished Lush Lips, winning by 1/2 length over her. The favorite, Thought Process, was third and British invader Take a Breath finished fourth. Velocity, dispatched at odds of 35-1, ran 1 1/8 miles on firm turf in 1:48.45. Ricardo Gonzalez rode for trainer Michael McCarthy. Velocity, a Nyquist filly, finished fourth in the Grade III Senorita Stakes in April, and then got a three-month break before winning an allowance event July 20 in preparation for the Oaks. Alpha Bella had 'em all the way in Friday's $100,000 CTT & TOC Stakes at Del Mar and edged clear late to a 2 3/4-length victory. The 4-year-old Justify mare, a Don Alberto homebred, ran 1 3/8 miles on firm turf in 2:17.32. Hector Berrios rode for trainer John Sadler. Classic Saturday's $1 million (Canadian) King's Plate for Canadian-bred 3-year-olds always looked to be a wide-open affair and that's how it played out. Mansetti at odds of 18-1 wrestled away the early lead from a rival and just kept running, winning by 2 1/2 lengths over Tom's Magic, who rallied from near the back of the 13-horse field. It was another 2 lengths to the favorite, Notorious Gangster, in third and the Woodbine Oaks winner, No Time, finished ninth. Mansetti, a Collected colt trained by Kevin Attard, got his fourth win from seven starts. Surface to Air surfaced from a pace-stalking trip approaching the quarter pole in Saturday's $250,000 Philip H. Iselin Stakes at Monmouth Park, took the lead and held off a mild bid by odds-on favorite First Mission to win by 3/4 length. Sprint Simcoe was loose on the lead in Saturday's $150,000 (Canadian) Grade III Bold Venture Stakes at Woodbine and easily held on to the big advantage to score by 5 3/4 lengths over Victory Achieved. Filly & Mare Sprint Vincey Girl blasted by the favorite, Haulin Ice, in the final sixteenth of Saturday's $75,000 Sheer Drama Stakes at Gulfstream Park and went on to score a 3 3/4-length beat on that rival. Nerazurri was third. Turf Emmanuel, the odds-on favorite, rallied inside rivals at the top of the stretch in Friday's $150,000 Pennsylvania Governor's Cup at Penn National and slipped away to win by 1 3/4 lengths. Turf Mile Gas Me Up and Wyoming Bill rallied together with a rush to finish 1-2 in Saturday's $200,000 (Canadian) Grade II bet365 King Edward Stakes at Woodbine. Turf Sprint Future Is Now surged to the front near the three-sixteenths marker in Friday's $150,000 Smart And Fancy Stakes for fillies and mares at Saratoga and worked clear to win by 1 1/2 lengths as the odds-on favorite. Juvenile Turf Sprint Lots of action here leading up to one of the highlights of "Future Stars" Day at the Breeders' Cup World Championships. Along the way: Bobrovsky won Saturday's $150,000 Skidmore Stakes at Saratoga while Snow Face Princess took Sunday's companion $150,000 Bolton Landing for fillies. Two Out Hero won Saturday's $150,000 (Canadian) bet 364 Soaring Free Stakes at Woodbine and Corsia Veloce scored in the companion Catch a Glimpse stakes for fillies. Juvenile / Juvenile Fillies Smarty Hardy won Saturday's $100,000 Prairie Meadows Freshman Stakes in Iowa by 3 lengths afer Ritzaphena scored in Friday's $100,000 Prairie Meadows Debutante. Dazzling Dame drew off late to win Sunday's $100,000 Sorority Stakes at Monmouth Park by 2 lengths. Around the world, around the clock: France Diego Velazquez, carrying the famous Sangster family colors, seized the lead late in the 1,600 meters of Sunday's Group 1 The Aga Khan Studs Prix Jacques le Marois and just did hold off Godolphin's Notable Speech. It was a convergence of European racing royalty of many kinds -- Sam Sangster, son of legendary owner Robert Sangster, received the trophy from Princess Zahra Aga Khan, daughter of the sponsor's namesake. Alongside was trainer Aidan O'Brien, who kept the 4-year-old Frankel colt after he was sold by Coolmore. The victory was a significant upset, with Dancing Gemini and Docklands third and fourth, crack Japanese miler Ascoli Piceno sixth as the favorite and Coolmore's own The Lion in Winter last after racing prominently. Diego Velazquez and Notable Speech are likely to meet again in the Breeders' Cup Mile. Ireland Speaking of the Aga Khan, the late racing titan's own colors reported first and second in Saturday's Group 3 Royal Whip Stakes at the Curragh -- an early audition for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe -- with Coolmore's top Arc hope, Los Angeles, finishing fourth. Zahrann, with Ben Coen up, got home first by 2 lengths over his 300-1 chance stablemate Tangapour. Galen was third, with Los Angeles 3 lengths back of the winner.
