LEADING OFF

Irish Eye

Casting a nervous look at the camera, Dublin drifted wide of the field last Saturday at the start of the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore. The colt, who went off at 10--1, finished fifth in the race, which was won by Lookin at Lucky (page 33).

Screen Of Pain

Magic shooting guard Vince Carter got squeezed between Celtics forward Paul Pierce and a pick-setting Kevin Garnett in Game 1 of the NBA Eastern Conference finals in Orlando on Sunday. Boston upset the Magic 92--88 to take home court advantage in the series (page 34).

KO'd by Kayode

Jose Luis Herrera of Miami was out on his feet and soon on the canvas after taking a hard right to the head from Lateef Kayode of Hollywood during the second round of their cruiserweight bout at the Chumash Casino in Santa Ynez, Calif., last Friday. Kayode, born in Nigeria, improved to 12--0 with 11 knockouts, while Herrera, a native Colombian, dropped to 16--7.
