Rosecroft Raceway: All Bets Off benefited from a perfect trip and a contested early pace to capture the $100,000 Potomac Pace on Tuesday night while equaling the Fort Washington harness track's record for a mile. Driven by Matt Kakaley, All Bets Off was timed in 1 minute, 48.2 seconds while edging Split the House by a nose and tying Nuclear Breeze's 2007 track record in the inaugural edition of the Potomac Pace. Hanover closed strongly along the inside to finish third. Shamballa, the 9-5 favorite, was taken to the outside heading into the far turn but was unable to mount a serious challenge. The Potomac Pace might be the last of All Bets Off's career. "I love this horse," Kakaley said. "He's had a great career. I think the plan is for him to go off to stud." The Potomac Pace was the first race at Rosecroft to offer a purse worth $100,000 or more in nearly 10 years.

Baseball: The Washington Nationals acquired right-handed pitcher Jimmy Cordero, 25, from the Philadelphia Phillies for a player to be named or cash. The Phillies designated Cordero for assignment last week, and therefore had 10 days to trade him, release him or outright him to the minors. After acquiring him from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for outfielder Ben Revere in 2015, the Phillies sent Cordero to join Revere with the Nationals. Cordero slides straight onto the Nationals' 40-man roster, which stands at 38 players, and likely will get an audition in spring training, though no one with the organization has said as much yet. Cordero is 10-12 with a 3.80 ERA in 110 relief appearances and five starts over five minor league seasons.
