UNT Is Able 10 Jog Again
Longtime champion Gallant Fox trainer Don von Has kept fingers crossed over the ankle injury.

The goal is the $50,000 Arlington Classic on July 24, while keeping the ankle from swelling further as he aims to match or surpass the car record bankroll.

Midwest to Face Out in Gasoline Pipeline Extension
Washington report says the eastward extension of the big inch oil pipeline by August 1 will tighten midwestern motorist restrictions while not easing east coast gasoline supply. The 24 inch line currently ships 290,000 barrels daily to Works City Illinois from Texas fields, with about half moved east by rail. After the east leg opens, throughput could reach 300,000 barrels daily, shifting crude flows to the coast and reducing west-to-east redistribution to the Midwest by rail.
