CHELTENHAM, England (AP) — The Cheltenham Festival got off to a breathtaking start Tuesday as Constitution Hill underlined his growing status as one of the best ever horses over hurdles and Honeysuckle ended her brilliant career with an emotional win.Constitution Hill justified his odds as the 4-11 favorite for the Champion Hurdle by finishing nine lengths clear, becoming the shortest-priced winner of Day 1’s marquee race.The 6-year-old horse has won all six of his races, and by an aggregate of 86 lengths.“This is the horse of a generation,” jockey great AP McCoy said in his role as a commentator on British broadcaster ITV, “and a horse we’ll be talking about for generations.”Constitution Hill is evoking comparisons with Frankel, the flat-racing superstar who retired in 2012 after winning all 14 of his races in a little more than two years.Under jockey Nico de Boinville, Constitution Hill cruised into first place about three fences out and pulled away with ease.He also won at ...

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A retired Wisconsin detective has lost a defamation lawsuit against streaming giant Netflix over his portrayal in the 2015 documentary series “Making a Murderer.”On Friday U.S. District Judge Brett Ludwig ruled in favor of Netflix and “Making a Murderer” filmmakers Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos, concluding that none of them acted with any malice toward now-retired Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Detective Andrew Colborn.Netflix aired “Making a Murderer” series in 2015. The 10-part series follows the story of Steven Avery, who spent nearly 22 years in prison for sexual assault before DNA tests exonerated him. He was released in 2003 but was convicted four years later along with his nephew, Brendan Dassey, in the 2005 murder and rape of photographer Teresa Halbach. Avery and Dassey were ultimately both sentenced to life in prison. The documentary raised questions about whether Manitowoc County officials framed them. Colborn, who participated in the Avery investigatio...

In fact, it is somewhere entirely separate from the Front Range.While towns in the state may not be as old as some on the East Coast, Colorado still has a rich history of settlements and towns.What is the oldest town in the state?Depending on the definition of town you want to use, there are different answers.There are many native peoples that created and lived in permanent settlements in what is now known as Colorado for millennia before any western people made landfall on the continent.Places such as Mesa Verde, which was first settled around 1,400 years ago, by far predate the modern settling of the area by Europeans. From 60s to snow in Denver? Here’s what we know However, to narrow down the scope of what "oldest town" means, the oldest incorporated town in Colorado that is still populated is San Luis in the southern part of the state.

(AP) — Jurors in the trial of three men accused of murdering rising rap star XXXTentacion outside a Florida motorcycle dealership nearly five years ago again failed to reach a verdict Tuesday, their fifth day of deliberations.The jury has deliberated for about 20 hours since getting the case March 8. The panel of 12 will return to court Wednesday.Jurors asked Tuesday to get a copy of text messages Michael Boatwright, the accused shooter, sent and received on June 18, 2018, the day the rapper was killed during a robbery that netted $50,000. They had seen a computer projection of those messages and those of Dedrick Williams, the accused ringleader, on Monday after asking to review them.The only other significant question they have asked was to see a transcript of Williams’ statement to detectives after his arrest. The lead detective testified about that statement, but no transcript was entered as evidence. They were told to rely on their memory of...
