The last three Confederate statues—Thomas J. Jackson, William “Extra Billy” Smith, and Dr. Hunter Holmes McGuire—were removed from Capitol Square in Richmond under a budget-driven plan, with the statues gifted to the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation to be preserved off public display. The removals mark the final consolidation of state-owned Confederate monuments on non-museum display in the city, carried out after legislative and budget actions by the General Assembly.

x/bob-baffert
— Sep 4, 2026
Miss Monica, the $850,000 Early Voting filly owned by Mike Pegram, Karl Watson and Paul Weitman, dominated the Grade I Del Mar Debutante by 6 1/4 lengths in 1:23.54 under Juan Hernandez for Bob Baffert, signaling a potential North American championship contender for 2-year-old fillies and marking Baffert’s 13th Debutante victory. The win follows her impressive debut and underlines Baffert’s hot streak at Del Mar, with Holmby as a top stablemate and Panda Listen among the challengers, as the trainer and owners eye continued success later in the meet.
