The Miami Marlins turned back the clock on Sunday against the Colorado Rockies and presented fans with a throwback uniform to kick start Teal Sundays.

The nostalgic look of the uniform may have been the lucky charm they needed to get a win over the Rockies. Owen Caissie came up to the plate with one on and two outs. He took a Victor Vodnik pitch deep to right field for the walk-off home run.

Miami defeated Colorado, 4-3.

The Marlins announced the organization would be hosting Teal Sundays for their home games during the season. The jersey featured the old teal uniforms with the original Florida Marlins logo stitched in.

“This jersey is so much more than just a uniform,” a message on their website read. “It’s an ode to those moments where fans fell in love with the team. It honors the Fightin’ Fish who started it all and the players who carry that legacy into the next era of Marlins baseball.”

The Marlins were established as an MLB franchise with the Rockies in 1993. While Miami has had their share of teardowns and rebuilds, the team won World Series titles in 1997 and 2003.

Miami will look to get back to the playoffs this season under second-year manager Clayton McCullough. The Marlins haven’t made the postseason since 2023.

Successfully completing the first pair of objectives in a three-phase roadmap, rising star colt Southend now aims to cap it off with a tilt at the Group 1 Champagne Stakes.

Securing the Paul Perry (1300m) at Newcastle on his first start, Southend then ventured to Rosehill on Saturday where he lifted the Group 3 Baillieu (1400m) to qualify for the Championships.

“That has always been the plan. To go to Newcastle, here today, then if he looks as though he’s had enough we’ll stop him, and if not he’ll go to the Champagne in three weeks,” co-trainer Gerald Ryan said.

“He’s a very good horse, I think.”

Southend descends from the accomplished former English miler-sprinter Palace Pier, taker of five Group 1 victories, via a So You Think three-quarter sister of Ryan’s previous sharp galloper Peltzer.

Nevertheless, that family connection did not sway Ryan and partner trainer Sterling Alexiou when selecting Southend at the yearling sales.

“That wasn’t the reason I bought him,” Ryan said.

“The week before the sales, Sterling had gone home for a few days and when he came back I said, ‘I reckon I found one for you’. I took him down to Mill Park (Stud’s barn), there were five horses there we looked at, and I never told him which one it was.

“This horse came out and Sterling, goes, ‘he’s a classic’ and I said, ‘I know. This is the one I want you to like’.”

Under Dylan Gibbons, Southend ($7.50) accelerated from the midway point of the straight and stormed home to pip Persian Wonder ($2.90 fav) by 1-1/4 lengths, while Nomadic ($81) was a nose behind in third place.

Gibbons remarked that Southend’s win came via innate ability and he will improve markedly with seasoning.

“The thing I loved most is that last furlong, he was just looking for some challengers. God help him when he learns what his job is,” Gibbons said.

“I’m sure he will eat up and bounce out of the run, and we’ll have a crack at the big one (Champagne Stakes). If he can take any natural improvement again, it’s scary to see where he can get to.”

Leading rider Tommy Berry stepped up to offer payment of the $44,000 late entry charge to lock in Storm Leopard’s place in the ATC Australian Derby after the gelding’s impressive staying performance in Saturday’s Group 2 $300,000 Tulloch Stakes (2000m) at Rosehill Gardens.

“I’ll offer to pay the late entry if they want,” Berry said.

“He’s so clean winded, he’s a real stayer. The team has done a great job with him, bringing him here in such great order.

“I only got on for the first time today so thanks to the Hayes boys for the opportunity and looking forward to hopefully riding him in the Derby.”

According to trainer Ben Hayes, Storm Leopard featured in the early nominations for next Saturday’s Group 1 $2 million ATC Australian Derby (2400m) at Royal Randwick, but they skipped the primary acceptance fee in the gelding’s prep.

“We took him out of the ‘noms’ and were looking at the South Australian Derby but we changed plans (again) because he started to go so well,” Hayes said.”It will be a discussion we need about next week but if he pulls up well, it’s definitely something that will be considered. It is a good problem to have.”

Storm Leopard ($4.20) took full advantage of the quick early speed, powering to the front mid-straight and winning by almost two lengths in decisive fashion.

Eureka Rebel at $81 shaped nicely as a Derby prospect, rallying late for second, with $5 elect Shangri La Boy third after dictating early.

The race was soured by favourite Arcora ($2.40) suffering a devastating near-foreleg injury mid-race.

Racing NSW officials quizzed jockey Nash Rawiller and trainers Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young on Arcora before the colt was humanely put down.

Rawiller praised the colt’s stride which “felt amazing” prior to the incident, showing excellent control in withdrawing him.

“He got into a lovely rhythm during the race – this came out of nowhere,” Rawiller said.

Busuttin assured stewards Arcora was the “soundest horse you could ever find” entering the Tulloch Stakes.

Ben Hayes led with empathy in his immediate post-win interview.

“I feel for the connections of Arcora,” was Hayes’s first comment. “You never want to see that happen.”

Berry revealed his initial thoughts turned to Rawiller and Arcora amid the breakdown.

“My mind was on Nash (Rawiller – on retired runner Arcora) to make sure he was alright,” Berry said.”But then you’ve got to make sure you focus up again.”

Berry highlighted how Storm Leopard triumphed with a “lot of authority” notwithstanding some straight drifting.

“Storm Leopard got to the leader very quickly and was left in front a long way from home,” Berry said.

“I would’ve loved to have something challenge him halfway down the straight because he felt like he was floating where he was.

“I had enough looks to make it as soft as I could late just in case he had to back up. He’s trained by a bunch of gentlemen that send their horses to Sydney in such great order so if they decided to go that way it wouldn’t be an issue.”

Storm Leopard could now become the 10th to land the Tulloch Stakes-ATC Australian Derby double, matching Quick Thinker (2020), Angel Of Truth (2019), Levendi (2018), Jon Snow (2017), Starcraft (2004), Ivory’s Irish (1995), Mahogany (1994), Durbridge (1991) and Prolific (1984).

Without prior nomination, Storm Leopard was absent from TAB Fixed Odds Derby betting pre-Tulloch, but they quoted him at $4.50 afterwards, behind $3.50 joint faves Observer and Green Spaces.

Owner-trainer Matthew Smith was thrilled by Eureka Rebel’s second and Dezignation’s fifth as Derby trials. “Both horses are strong, young stayers and as long as they pull up well, I would like them to back up in the Derby,” Smith said.

Eureka Rebel’s jockey Kerrin McEvoy expects no trouble at the Derby distance next week.

“He ran really well,” McEvoy said. “I didn’t jump like we thought but he got a nice trip around and he goes to Randwick to enjoy the 2400m,” McEvoy said.

Third-place finisher Shangri La Boy improved per rider Adam Hyeronimus, but requires refinement.

“That is not the best version of him,” Hyeronimus said. “The best version of him is jump and relax in front then show his sharp turn of foot.”

There were plenty of goals in the Nigeria Premier Football League on Sunday as Rivers United returned to the top of the table with an impressive 4-2 win over Kun Khalifat.

Coached by Finidi George, Rivers United had been away from home in recent weeks, allowing Rangers International to go top. However, their strong comeback victory helped them reclaim first place.

Aniekeme Okon opened the scoring before Kun Khalifat responded through Abdulrafiu Omolabi and Sunday Adehi. Iyowuna Douglas scored twice, while Handsome Surveyor also found the net to seal the win.

Elsewhere, Shooting Stars defeated Rangers 3-1 in Ibadan. Sodiq Ibrahim gave the home side the lead before Chidiebere Nwobodo equalised. Late goals from Desmond Ojietefian and Mustapha Adams secured the victory.

In Lagos, Ikorodu City beat Warri Wolves 4-3 in an exciting match. Abayomi Ayodeji scored his first goal for Ikorodu City, while Tosin Oyedokun and Joseph Arumala also scored. Chisom Ogbuu scored an own goal but later got on the scoresheet for Warri Wolves, while Igbunu Evwierhurhoma netted twice.

Barau FC and Katsina United played out a goalless draw in Kano. Remo Stars, reduced to ten men, earned a 1-1 draw against El Kanemi Warriors in Maiduguri, their first away point under Usman Abd’Allah.

On Saturday, Bendel Insurance drew 2-2 with Plateau United.

In the Abia derby, Enyimba beat Abia Warriors 2-1 in Aba. Chidera Michael scored twice, while Emeka Obioma scored for Abia Warriors.

There were also home wins for Kwara United, Bayelsa United and Niger Tornadoes against Nasarawa United, Kano Pillars and Wikki Tourists respectively.

Rivers United now lead the table with 55 points, one point above Rangers after 32 matches.

Moses Itauma has already started plotting his future following his victory over Jermaine Franklin.

Itauma extended his unbeaten record to 14-0 with a fifth round knockout win over Franklin at Co-Op Live in Manchester, doing something that Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte were unable to do by stopping the American inside the distance.

It was a dominant performance from the Brit, first knocking down Franklin in round three before securing the win two rounds later with a massive uppercut that sent his rival face flat onto the canvas.

Attention has already turned to who Itauma could face next, but the 21-year-old has admitted that his ideal opponent isn’t achievable.

Speaking in his post-fight interview, Itauma revealed that he would have liked to face Filip Hrgovic next, but will now be unable to do so after the Croatian instead agreed to take on British rival Dave Allen.

“If I’m completely honest I wanted the Hrgovic fight but he’s boxing Dave Allen. We’ll go back to the drawing board and see who’s available and we’ll be back out soon.”

Hrgovic has claimed wins over Joe Joyce and David Adeleye in his last two contests, and will look to make it three straight wins over British opponents when he meets Allen at the Keepmoat Stadium in Doncaster on May 16.

While a fight with Hrgovic seemingly won’t be next, Itauma’s promoter Frank Warren insisted it will be a noteworthy bout.

“He’ll be out again probably in July. He’s number one in the WBO and number one in the WBA. There’s a lot of fights happening in the next few months and don’t worry we’ll sort something out. It will be a big fight. He’s a big name and he’s a big fighter.”

A solid option for Itauma’s next bout is instead WBA Regular champion Murat Gassiev, who earned the belt with a win over Kubrat Pulev back in December.

Aryna Sabalenka beat Coco Gauff in the Miami Open women’s singles final 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 on Saturday.

The world No. 1 overpowered fourth-ranked Gauff in the first and third sets with sizzling groundstroke winners and became the first player to accomplish the “Sunshine Double” – winning Indian Wells followed by Miami in the same season – since Iga Swiatek in 2022.

It was Sabalenka’s second straight title at the Miami Open, Gauff’s hometown tournament, and put her ahead of Gauff in their head-to-head record, 7-6.

“You’ve pushed me to be a better player,” Sabalenka said during the ceremony, before adding about the crowd, “You always bring a full stadium.” 
The match lasted 2 hours, 11 minutes and ended on Gauff getting broken for the fourth time with a wide backhand.

Gauff fought back to force the third set, but couldn’t maintain the momentum she appeared to get from the deafening crowd supporting her.

“It sucks not to come out with a better result but I had a lot of joy this week,” Gauff said to the crowd. “You guys brought energy every day this week.” 
Sabalenka at times was frustrated by the fan noise, including when someone yelled “out” during a long rally. She used a curse word at the fan and the chair umpire warned the crowd, but also gave a code violation to Sabalenka.

“I shouldn’t be that rude, but come on, you cannot do that,” Sabalenka said at the ceremony. “So let’s agree we were both wrong, so sorry.” 
Gauff’s off-and-on serve created seven double faults while Sabalenka registered none.

Sabalenka broke Gauff in the first game of the third set, helped by a Gauff double fault and an unforced error. On break point, Sabalenka crunched a backhand winner.

“I was disappointed about that first game of the third set up 30-0 with momentum,” Gauff said. “It was an important game to win in that moment.” 
The match was attended by Kai Trump, President Donald Trump’s granddaughter and a golfer at the University of Miami. She posted a photo with Sabalenka at the tournament on social media Friday.

Sabalenka, who earned her 24th pro title, said before the match she was happy Gauff had found her best tennis in her home tournament at which she had never gotten past the fourth round.
