  You would have to get below the surface of the Chesapeake Bay to see the improvements, including the highest female blue crab population in decades, oysters planted in sanctuaries reproducing on their own and maybe developing resistance to diseases, underwater grasses spreading.

  By Kevin Martin
  The three-year streak of short-priced winners in the Kentucky Derby is likely coming to an end this Saturday, May 6 at Churchill Downs in Louisville.

Among the entries, there is no stand-out like we had the last three years with the trio of California Chrome, American Pharoah, and Nyquist. There is no need to fret about the lack of an obvious favorite
