'I Liked What I Saw': Peter Pan Winner Hill Road Tunes Up For Belmont
Amo Racing USA's Hill Road completed his first work on Saturday toward the $2-million Belmont Stakes (G1) on June 7 at Saratoga Race Course. Trained by Chad Brown, the Quality Road bay covered a half-mile in 48.75 seconds to the inside of Lordship over the Belmont Park dirt training track. It was Hill Road's first breeze back since a closing three-quarter-length score in the nine-furlong Peter Pan (G3) on May 10 at Belmont at the Big A. Advertisement 'He worked super, I'm really pleased with him,' said Brown. 'He had a nice gallop-out. He is coming along really well. He came out of his last race really well. I put this horse Lordship on the outside of him, they were a good match, they galloped out strong. They are two endurance-type horses that are kind of stayers. 'I just wanted a steady work but with a strong gallop-out. These are staying horses that the best part of their works and races will be the late stages, I liked what I saw around the turn galloping out. He is very fit now, Hill Road,' Brown continued. 'He is in a good part of his form cycle. I'm just looking to maintain where I'm at with that horse.' Hill Road improved from a pair of thirds in his two previous stateside outings, finishing 4 3/4 lengths back of Citizen Bull in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile in November at Del Mar for trainer Adrian Murray before being transferred to Brown and finishing 6 1/4 lengths behind Owen Almighty in the Grade 3 Tampa Bay Derby on March 8. Hill Road looks to join Counterpoint [1951], High Gun [1954], Gallant Man [1957], Cavan [1958], Coastal [1979], Danzig Connection [1986], A.P. Indy [1992], Tonalist [2014], and Arcangelo [2023] as Peter Pan winners to subsequently score in the Belmont Stakes. Bred in Kentucky by Lynch Bages LTD and Camas Park Stud, Hill Road was a $350,000 purchase at the 2023 Keeneland September Yearling Sale and is out of the winning Lemon Drop Kid mare Exotic Notion, a half-sister to multiple graded stakes-winning multimillionaire and prominent sire City of Light.

R.I. man sentenced to 20 years for 2023 ‘gang-related' Providence shootings, prosecutors say
According to prosecutors, Sanchez pleaded nolo contendere in February to numerous charges, including four counts of felony assault. A plea of nolo contendere means the defendant neither accepts nor denies responsibility for the charges, but agrees to accept punishment. Advertisement 'The court also sentenced the defendant under the Criminal Street Gang enhancement, finding that his acts were in furtherance of the Chad Brown street gang,' prosecutors said.

Enter Email Sign Up Co-defendant Isaiah Isom, 20, was sentenced by Keough in February to serve 12 years in prison and 22 years of probation for his role in one of the shootings, according to officials. Prosecutors said they were prepared to prove at trial that Sanchez was involved in two shootings on March 12 and March 16, 2023, 'while possessing narcotics with intent to distribute.' Providence police responded to the first shooting at 10:44 a.m. that day, after receiving reports of shots fired on Jenkins Street. According to witness testimony, Sanchez shot at three people, including the 9-year-old boy, officials said. Advertisement Surveillance video footage from the Chad Brown Housing Complex showed Sanchez taking a phone call in the parking lot before the shooting, and then leaving in a black Hyundai, prosecutors said. 'The same black Hyundai returned to the area minutes after police received reports of the shooting, and the footage shows the defendant walking away from the vehicle,' officials said. Investigators later confirmed Sanchez's movements based on his cell phone data, and also confirmed he was renting the black Hyundai at that time, according to prosecutors. 'This shooting was connected to the violent feud between East Side and Chad Brown gangs and was an act of retaliation for another shooting that occurred the night before.' prosecutors said. On March 16, 2023, police responded to another report of shots fired at the intersection of North Main and Olney streets, officials said. 'Officers first located an unintended victim whose vehicle had sustained ballistic damage,' prosecutors said. 'The victim reported that a white SUV was driving south in the northbound lane of North Main Street, firing shots at a blue SUV driving south. Officers located three expended .40 caliber cartridge casings in the roadway.' On April 11, Providence police and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives arrested Sanchez at his apartment, where authorities found 'multiple firearms, ammunition, currency, marijuana, cocaine, pills, and other drug paraphernalia,' officials said. The seizure included 60.99 grams of cocaine, 837.09 grams of marijuana, and four pills of Hydrocodone. Investigators also uncovered text messages between Sanchez and Isom showing the two men shared news articles with each other about the March 16 shooting and 'discussed their roles' in the incident, prosecutors said. Advertisement 'On more than one occasion, [Sanchez] demonstrated that he is a very real threat to public safety,' Neronha said in a statement. 'It is absolutely essential that we hold accountable those who commit serious gang and gun-related crimes, and endanger the lives of others in the process, as was the case here.'
