CLEVELANDURBANNEWS.COM, LOUISVILLE, Kentucky-Ridden by jockey  Javier Castellano and with odds of 15-1, Mage edged Two Phil's, which came in second place, and Zandon, which took third, to win the 149th running of the Kentucky Derby on Saturday at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.  

Seven horses died leading up to the Derby but that did not dim the excitement. 

“I never give up, I always try hard,” jockey Castellano said after winning the race before some 150,000 fans. “It took me a little while to get there, to finally get it.” It was Castellano's 16th try for a Derby win 

Gustavo Delgado-trained colt, Mage won the first race of its career, overtaking Two Phil's at Saturdays' Derby by one length.  And the coveted horse won the greatest share of the $3 million dollar Derby purse at $1.86 million. A $2 bet on Mage to win paid out $32.42 and a $1.00 trifecta on an exact 1-2-3 finish on Mage, Two Phil's and Angel of Empire paid out $982.36. Those who placed $1.00 superfecta bet on Mage, Two Phil's, Angel of Empire and Disarm to finish first through fourth in that exact order, won $15,643.60.

If Mage wins the Preakness and Belmont Stakes, the second and third legs of the Triple Crown respectively, it will have won the Triple Crown. 

Unlike some of the Derby's in recent years, there were no major protests, or any at all for that matter, on behalf of Breonna Taylor She was the 26-year-old Black woman who was arbitrarily gunned down by Metro-Louisville police in her apartment in 2020, a police shooting death that drew nationwide protests and a $12 million negligence and wrongful death settlement from the city for Taylor's family.

Chief and unfair Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo loses authority-Part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption: New Ohio law on seeking possible removal of a municipal court judge in a case for bias or conflict via the filing of an affidavit of prejudice takes authority to decide from chief Cuyahoga County Presiding Judge John Russo, other chief common pleas judges in Ohio, and hands it to the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, who also determines affidavits of prejudice filed against common pleas, probate, juvenile, domestic relations, and state appellate court judges....Most affidavits of prejudice are denied regardless of the merits and some judges complained of will retaliate, data show... Community activists, led by Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman of the Imperial Women Coalition, lobbied the Cleveland NAACP for support and asked state legislators via state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10) of Cleveland to change the law but wanted a panel of judges and others to decide when a judge in Ohio is disqualified from hearing a case for bias or conflict....Coleman says she has since been further harassed by Chief Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo, who is White and leads a racist and sexist common pleas court fueled with corruption, malicious prosecutions, excessive criminal bonds, ineffective assistance of counsel to poor and Black defendants, and the mass incarceration of the Black community....By www.clevelandurbannews.com and www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspapers....This is part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption
