Magic Weisner worked at Laurel Park on Thursday for the first time since he returned last month to trainer Nancy Alberts's barn after a bout with West Nile virus.

Churchill Downs has reassigned David Sweazy, its longtime director of operations in charge of day-to-day management, who now will focus on the track's multimillion-dollar renovation. Greg Bush, who has been the general manager of Churchill's Trackside training and simulcast facility, will take over most of Sweazy's former duties, and Rick Smith, director of mutuels, will assume most of Bush's duties at Trackside.
