Alex Bregman and his Chicago Cubs teammates celebrated a win at Churchill Downs when Bregman's horse, Act of Parliament, won his race. The celebration was short-lived, though, as the horse was claimed by new owners afterward. The 3-year-old colt overcame a rough start to win by three-quarters of a length.
