Toretto to get fast and furious chasing Champagne at Ellerslie
Hollie Wynyard has consistently matched up with the country's best in her first solo season of training, and she'll chase a deserved stakes success when her talented youngsters contest Saturday's Listed SkyCity Champagne Stakes at Ellerslie. Until the current racing season, Wynyard trained for almost a decade in partnership with Johno Benner, winning a pair of Group Ones and a Karaka Million 3-year-old crown in the process. When Benner decided to step back from training, Cambridge-based Wynyard took over the reins in full capacity and has since produced five stakes performers: Archaic Smile, Sierra Leone, Full Force, This Time Girl and Toretto. Toretto is one of two runners she will present in Saturday's juvenile feature, coming off an impressive effort to finish third in the Listed Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre Stakes (1400m), run a fortnight ago at Te Rapa. 'It was a really good run, it was nice to see him back with a bit of confidence and attacking the line because he's obviously shown a bit of ability,' Wynyard said.

Parker Police Department adds weekend shifts to prevent street racing
DENVER (KDVR) — The Parker Police Department added extra shifts over the weekend to place a priority on preventing street racing. The police department announced the new practice in a social media post on Friday. The post said that police would be looking for people out of 'Dom Toretto's crew,' referencing the titular character of the 'Fast and Furious' franchise. In the franchise, racing can earn you a pink slip, a slip referencing the ownership of a person's vehicle, but Parker police said street racers won't be earning pink slips — they'll be earning speeding tickets. A local Mexican restaurant, Los Dos Potrillos, is expanding across the metro with its newest location in Denver. 'It's not about the car; it's about the driver,' said Toretto in the film. Police said that's who they're looking for: drivers who put other people's safety at risk on Parker's streets. The streets belong to the people, not to rogue racers trying to turn Parker into their personal drag strip. More information about the Parker Police Department can be found on the agency's website.
