Missouri RB arrested

A 21-year-old University of Missouri running back has been suspended after being arrested for stealing. Redshirt sophomore Trevon Walters was arrested Friday in Columbia, Mo., for allegedly stealing and fraudulently using a credit or debit card. Boone County sheriff's department records show Walters was booked into the county jail Friday and later released on $5,500 bail. It wasn't immediately clear whether the Bradenton, Fla., native has been formally charged or has a lawyer. Football team spokesman Chad Moller told The St. Louis Post-Dispatch that Walters has been suspended indefinitely while the university learns more about the arrest. Walters redshirted for Missouri in 2014 and missed the 2015 season because of an injury.

Maguire hurts foot

Florida State quarterback Sean Maguire has a broken bone in his right foot, putting freshman Deondre Francois in position to open the season as the starter. Coach Jimbo Fisher revealed the injury Saturday after the team's practice, saying Maguire broke the bone Wednesday. The fracture wasn't confirmed until Friday. Maguire is in a walking boot and will have a screw inserted into the foot early next week. Fisher said it is likely that the senior would miss 3-4 weeks. Florida State opens the season Sept. 5 in Orlando against Mississippi. Francois put himself into contention for the starting spot with a solid spring and threw a pair of touchdowns in the spring game. This would be the second time in four years a redshirt freshman has started at QB for the Seminoles. In 2013, Jameis Winston won the Heisman and led them to the national championship.

HORSE RACING

Mondialiste wins Million

Irish-bred Mondialiste thrives in the United States. The 6-year-old won the Grade 1 Arlington Million on Saturday, earning a berth into the Breeders' Cup when jockey Daniel Tudhope guided the bay horse through a three-wide finish to edge Kasaqui by a neck. Mondialiste, who went off as the 4-1 third choice, broke from the outside in the 1 1/4-mile turf race outside Chicago. He won the Woodbine Mile last year and finished second in the Breeders' Mile. The son of Galileo paid $10.80, $6.40 and $4.80. Kasaqui of Argentina returned $13.20 and $9.40 and Irish-bred Deauville paid $7.00 to show despite a poor outside draw. Take the Stand set the pace and still led into the final turn before fading. Florent Geroux rode World Approval to seventh. Illinois-bred The Pizza Man finished sixth after winning last year. Riders faced a headwind on the stretch run in the 11-horse race on the firm grass track. Decorated Knight scratched in the morning and Dubai Sky was ordered scratched by stewards when he refused to be reshod after losing a shoe.
