Malibu Moonshine Captures Tesio Stakes
By John Scheinman,

BALTIMORE, April 23 -- King Leatherbury, 72, one of three trainers in history to saddle more than 6,000 winners, won the $150,000 Federico Tesio Stakes for 3-year-olds Saturday with his tough chestnut Malibu Moonshine, and afterward there was as much action in the Pimlico winner's circle as on the racetrack.

SLIP AWAY: There are not many places where in one trip you can spend two days plummeting on Alpine skis on what has been called "the frozen wave" and follow it on the third day with a surfboard for a session of fun rides on the real thing. New Hampshire, especially in April, is near the top of a very short list of places that have both.

Fans Get an Audience With Redskins' Coach
Gibbs's Appearance Delights FedEx Faithful
By Nunyo Demasio,
Page E11
For Washington Redskins fans, the first twist of the NFL draft occurred at 11:39 a.m., and had nothing to do with the anticipation that the club would leap from the No. 9 to the No. 1 pick. A blue-and-beige helicopter landed several yards from the south entrance at FedEx Field. Soon, Coach Joe Gibbs jogged out of the tunnel and onto the field amid a roar from the several hundred fans surprised by the sight. Trailed by Gregg Williams, assistant head coach-defense, and Joe Bugel, assistant head coach-offense, Gibbs hustled to a makeshift podium near the 20-yard line.

Maurice Clarett, the former Ohio State star running back who led his team to the 2002 national championship and then lost a court battle to get into the draft after his freshman season, went to the Denver Broncos with a third-round compensatory pick, the 101st overall. The selection is particularly compelling considering the Broncos have had five running backs -- Terrell Davis, Olandis Gary, Mike Anderson, Clinton Portis and Reuben Droughns -- rush for at least 1,000 yards since 1998.
