Preakness update

Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver galloped 1 1/8 miles Sunday at Churchill Downs and is scheduled to work 4 furlongs for Calvin Borel there today, when Hurricane Ike, Yawanna Twist, Northern Giant and Dublin also will have their final workouts for Saturday's Preakness. Super Saver's stablemate Aikenite breezed 5 furlongs in 1:01.40 . . . Trainer D. Wayne Lukas confirmed that Garrett Gomez would replace Terry Thompson on Dublin. Gomez rode beaten favorite Lookin At Lucky in the Derby, but Bob Baffert hasn't decided whether to run at Pimlico. Speaking of Gomez, a two-time Eclipse Award winner, Lukas said: "If Peyton Manning is available, you are not going to leave him in the locker room."TENNIS

AUTO RACING

Hamlin sweeps

Late Saturday night, Denny Hamlin became the first driver in 17 years to sweep the NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide events at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway, an achievement even more remarkable since he was on the operating table March 31 to fix a painful ACL tear in his left knee.

Hamlin outraced JGR teammate Kyle Busch to take the Royal Purple 200 on Friday night. At Saturday's Southern 500, Hamlin moved to the front late in the race and held on while prime contenders Jeff Gordon and Jeff Burton made pit errors to fall back.
