JOCKEY QUOTESJOSEPH TALAMO, PAINTING CORNERS, WINNER: “I had a great trip Peter gave me all the confidence in the world, he just said, ‘Try to break sharp if they give us a good lead go with it, if not just ride a smart race’. She broke sharp and took it to ’em. She’s very quick out of the gate and we got a little breather there around the turn. She could feel Bejarano’s filly (third place finisher Go On Mary) on her outside, but when we straightened up, she switched leads and we were gone.”TRAINER QUOTESPETER MILLER, PAINTING CORNERS, WINNER: “Joe rode a very smart race. She doesn’t like to be on the rail much, but he broke sharp and he just went on with it and cut the corner and saved something for the stretch. So great ride by Joe and the whole team did a great job with this filly. She’s a very versatile filly and she’s been so much fun to work with. I still think she can get the longer distances. We are looking into her next race, she might possibly go to Kentucky and we’re even thinking about the Monrovia.”OWNER QUOTESRYAN COSATO, PAINTING CORNERS, ON BEHALF OF SLAM DUNK RACING: “She’s been facing (stablemate) Belvoir Bay in her last couple races, so it was nice to get away from her today. Belvoir Bay ran solid in Dubai, so Painting Corners was obviously coming out of a productive race. It was nice to see her get an easy lead and keep going.”NOTES: The winning owner is Altamira Racing Stable and Slam Dunk Racing.#1 PAINTING CORNERS (Joseph Talamo) $75,000 Mizdirection Stakes Owner: Altamira Racing Stable or Slam Dunk Racing Trainer: Peter Miller Saturday, April 13, 2019 Santa Anita Park Arcadia CA. © BENOIT PHOTO
SANTA ANITA PRESENTS SEVEN STAKES ON WEEKEND OMAHA BEACH SURFACES IN SPRINT THIS SATURDAY BAFFERT JUVENILES EARN TRIP TO BREEDERS’ CUP BLINKERS HELPED EIGHT RINGS STAY FOCUSEDBob Baffert was in a familiar place Friday, his home-away-from-home, Santa Anita Park, specifically the Winner’s Circle.The two-time Triple Crown-winning trainer sent out Bast to win the Chandelier Stakes by a neck after a captivating stretch duel with 11-1 Comical, then 90 minutes later watched Eight Rings pummel eight foes with a front-running, six-length romp in the American Pharoah Stakes.Each event was a Grade I, Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” Challenge Race, giving the winner a fees-paid berth to the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies on Nov. 1 and the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile on Nov. 2, respectively, which will be run at Santa Anita for a record 10th time.John Velazquez rode both horses for Baffert, breaking a tie with fellow Hall of Fame member Jerry Bailey for most graded stakes victories by winning the Chandelier. It was No. 661 for Johnny V. as he is known to intimates in the racing world.Eight Rings, who lost all chance in the Del Mar Futurity when Drayden Van Dyke was unseated in a bumping incident shortly after the start, wore blinkers in the American Pharoah.“I think they helped a lot,” Baffert said Saturday morning at a bustling Clockers’ Corner, adding that both youngsters came out of their races in good order, and it’s on to the Breeders’ Cup with Velazquez retaining the mounts.“The blinkers kept Eight Rings a little more focused,” Baffert added. “Bask was blowing after the race and really needed it. She had to work hard, but Eight Rings looked really good.”PARADISE WOODS DOING WELL FOR ZENYATTA STAKESThe story line would be ideal should John Shirreffs win Sunday’s Grade II Zenyatta Stakes with Paradise Woods, since he was trainer of the mythical mare Zenyatta who captivated fans with her stirring last-to-first victories, 20 in 21 career races, including a jaw-dropper against males in the Breeders’ Cup Classic at Santa Anita in 2009.The Zenyatta Stakes is a $200,000 Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” Challenge Race giving the winner a fees-paid berth to the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Longines Distaff on Nov. 2.“Paradise Woods is doing well,” Shirreffs said. “She’s had nice works (five furlongs Monday in a bullet 59.60, fastest of 58 drills at the distance, and seven furlongs the previous Monday in 1:26.20).”Shirreffs will of course have everlasting memories of his all-time great female warrior, but based upon a recent visit, those feelings apparently are not reciprocal.“The last time I saw Zenyatta was at the September sale early this month and she was doing great,” Shirreffs said. “She’s in foal to Candy Ride (at Lane’s End Farm in Kentucky).”Asked if Zenyatta remembered him, Shirreffs’ response was quick and succinct. “No,” he said. “She’s forgotten about me. Out of sight, out of mind, as they say.”The field for the Zenyatta, race five of eight: Secret Spice, Flavien Prat, 8-5; Mongolian Humor, Norberto Arroyo Jr., 12-1; Paradise Woods, Abel Cedillo, 5-2; Ollie’s Candy, Kent Desormeaux, 9-5; La Force, Drayden Van Dyke, 5-1; and Kaydetre, Martin Garcia, 20-1ZENYATTA STAKES TO BE SHOWN LIVE ON FOX SPORTS SUNDAYSunday’s Zenyatta Stakes will be shown live on Fox Sports as a part of its “America’s Day at the Races” show, which airs from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. PT.A Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” Challenge Race qualifier to the $2 million Distaff, to be contested Nov. 2 at Santa Anita, the Zenyatta will be run at approximately 3:05 p.m.Michelle Yu will provide on-site analysis and reporting and the broadcast will also feature live coverage of several stakes from Belmont Park, including the Grade I Jockey Club Gold Cup and the Grade I Vosburgh Stakes, in addition to closing-day Fall Meet coverage from Churchill Downs.COUNTDOWN ON FOR OMAHA BEACH IN SA SPRINT CHAMPIONSHIPFollowing his bullet four furlong workout Friday in 46.80, trainer Richard Mandella reported Omaha Beach in fine fettle this morning as the countdown began in earnest for his eagerly anticipated return to the races this Saturday in the Grade I, Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” Santa Anita Sprint Championship at six furlongs.Regular rider Mike Smith will again be aboard the three-year-old son of War Front, who at press time had three others committed to face him: California Street, no rider; Flagstaff, Victor Espinoza; and Shancelot, no rider.

We’ll see.The faithful will, no doubt, still sing: ‘’He’s magic, you know……Mauricio Pochettino.’’Sadly, for me the magic has faded and we need someone new to wave their wand.Spurs manager, Mauricio Pochettino, says Amazon documentary was a ‘club decision’ POCH out!……. There. I’ve said it.I won’t be the most popular person at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but I can’t keep it in any longer.5 Pressure is growing on Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham following another poor displayCredit: AFP or licensorsMauricio Pochettino is clearly a good manager.He’s moved Spurs up from being a team fighting to get into the top four, to a team finishing in the top four (although, the way they’re playing at the moment, that run could be coming to an end).But I don’t think he can take us any further – and it doesn’t look like he wants to.The 1-1 draw against Watford has left Spurs five points behind Chelsea in fourth, and the Hornets were unlucky not to get the win on Saturday.I’m entitled to my opinion. I’ve been a fan since I was a nipper and been a season ticket holder for around 30 years.I’m sick to the back teeth of seeing endless sideways and backwards passes.Keeping hold of the ball is a waste of time if you don’t hurt the opposition when you’ve got it. And Spurs rarely hurt the opposition these days.Why, oh why, can’t they ever break down supposedly inferior sides?That’s Pochettino’s fault. He tells the players how he wants them to play.5 Dele Alli rescued a point for Spurs on the weekend as equalised late on against WatfordCredit: Reuters5 Tottenham are currently five points off the top four after nine games playedCredit: ReutersFunnily enough, Liverpool and Manchester City do quite well moving the ball forward quickly.Talking of top teams, they win things.But if you want to win things, you need to put out the strongest team you can in the domestic cups, a concept Pochettino doesn’t seem to understand.He ‘rests’ Harry Kane for Colchester in the League Cup….and the chance of another trophy bites the dust.Fans want to see their club win trophies. That’s what they remember and tell their grandchildren.The run to the Champions League Final was great but why couldn’t Pochettino lift the team for that match, the biggest game in the club’s history?He dropped Lucas Moura, the bloke who got us there, and didn’t have a Plan B when Liverpool got a penalty after 22 seconds.OK, it’s not his fault that there are a number of players who don’t want to be at the club.5 Spurs have won just once out of their last seven games in all competitionsCredit: ReutersSpurs chief Daniel Levy makes shock admission Mauricio Pochettino has players he doesn’t wantBut it is his fault if he keeps playing the ones who have just given up.Christian Eriksen is convinced he’s now good enough for Real Madrid.Dream on, mate. Zinedine Zidane probably wants players who give a toss, put in a shift, and can actually pass to their own teammates more often than not, instead of giving the ball away.Freeze him out. Put him the reserves.Kieran Trippier, deemed good enough to represent his country against Bulgaria on Monday night, left Tottenham and Pochettino didn’t get in a replacement.Does he seriously think Juan Foyth, Serge Aurier or Kyle Walker-Peters are up to filling Trippier’s boots? Don’t make me laugh.Surprise, surprise, the lack of a top right back has been one of the reasons contributing to the disastrous start to the season.And I simply don’t buy Pochettino’s line that he’s no longer involved in transfers and should be called ‘coach’ not ‘manager’.5 Tottenham face Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, before heading to Goodison Park the following weekCredit: PA:Press Association The players appear to have lost faith in him. They’re certainly not performing for him.He now looks and sounds like a manager who’d rather be somewhere else (presumably, in sunny Madrid or the red half of rainy Manchester).On the touchline, he appears out of ideas, just standing there, dazed look on his face, with his arms folded as the games pass him by.After matches, one baffling statement follows another.Saying he’d have left if we’d won the Champions League, cryptic talk of ‘’different agendas’’ behind the scenes, and other gibberish.Sorry fellow Spurs fans, Pochettino has done a fine job, and we’ve progressed.But it’s time for a change after five-and-a-half years, a reboot, something and someone to reinvigorate the team and try to take them to the next level.Who can do that? Mourinho? Not after what he did to United. Allegri? Who knows.LATEST TOTTENHAM NEWSHARRY ALL FOUR ITKane admits Spurs must win EIGHT games to rise into Champions League spotGossipALL GONE PETE TONGVertonghen wanted by host of Italian clubs as long Spurs spell nears endBELOW PARRSpurs suffer blow with Parrott to miss Prem restart after appendix operationPicturedSHIRT STORMNew Spurs 2020/21 home top leaked but angry fans slam silver design as ‘awful”STEP BY STEP’Jose fears for players’ welfare during restart as stars begin ‘pre-season’KAN’T HAVE THATVictor Osimhen keen on Spurs move but only if they sell Kane this summer
Port Moresby Billiards and Snooker Association president John Chan said Bawa’s participation over the years in the premier corporate competition, Port Moresby Open and the PNG men’s national titles were valued.“He was a very good player and very professional in his approach in the way he dressed to every game.“He was always punctual which is a lesson I hope many snooker players can learn from,” said Chan.PNGBSA treasurer Roger Wilson described Bawa as a true professional policeman who fitted in well with other players during games.“Despite his 24 hour on call job, Andy still had time to enjoy a game and mingle with his snooker family,” said Wilson.PNGBSA president Peter Fong said Bawa was an exceptional individual who showed true professionalism on and off during snooker games.“His competitiveness will be missed but hope he starts up snooker in the Highlands.

MidfieldersEmbarba (Lightning) Catena already pointed out ways in the ill-fated Reus. However, his first season at Rayo Vallecano, team with history and where the pressure is higher, has been his confirmation. Portentous to the court and a danger in the air game in each of his performances this season. Before Lugo it was no less. Above yesterday he signed his renewal with the rayistas until 2023.Odei (Mirandés) The Swiss central did not start the season as expected, but before the Mirandés signed a more than remarkable match, the only one of the Cádiz behind that is saved from burning, in the Mirandés draw. The helvetic was solvent in each cut and put the third goal of the gaditanos finishing a corner. Add and follow the category pichichi. Double, this time to break an entire Extremadura that presented battle until the end. Perfect header to inaugurate the score in the first part at the pass of Aday Benítez. In the second he sentenced the match, appearing on the second free club suit after a Brandon hairstyle. He has 18 goals in 19 games. Deportivo begins to see green shoots. The arrival of Fernando Vázquez and a defense that is gradually strengthening, the causes. That defense especially shines Dani Giménez. The former Betis saved his team with seven colossal stops, three of them in the small area and one of those that are remembered at the end of the season.DefensesMiguelón (Huesca) The protagonist of the comeback from last day was undoubtedly the right side of Alicante. A dagger in its climbs and a wall in all its defensive actions. In addition, he attended Mikel Rico, the middle center, for the first goal of his own and his arrival from the second line closed the comeback of Huesca.Catena (Rayo Vallecano) Many names shone in the football madness that was Cadiz-Mirandés and Odei was one of them. The central put the goal of the tie for theirs in the 96th minute when hunting a ball that flew from the opposite band, thus plunging Carranza into a sepulchral silence. In a Mirandés that aims to stay, having a central such as Odei is insurance.Rhyner (Cádiz) Repeat in the eleven highlights of the day and it is not for less. Another double (second consecutive) and fifth goal in the last three games. It is sweet. The first came from the penalty spot and in the second he was ready in a defensive ruling by Oviedo. With the two of yesterday already adds eight goals.Higinio (Numancia) Match of the midfielder against the leader Cádiz. Present in the three goals of the team. In the first one he took a left-footed shot from outside the area. The second came from a rejection, after a powerful shot of his; and in the third, he assisted Odei with a distant foul throw to put the 3-3 on the scoreboard.StrikersDarwin Núñez (Almería) The end of Girona had not seen door almost two years and opened his scoring account with a good goal against Extremadura. His goal was the second, in a spectacular direct foul throw. In the first goal he also left his mark, with a center measured at Stuani’s head, for the Uruguayan to open the scoring.Merquelanz (Mirandés) The twenty-third day from LaLiga SmartBankHe had eleven protagonists that we detail below. Stuani (Girona) made a double and already has 18 goals in 19 games. Games of Miguelón (Huesca) and Merquelanz (Mirandés). Dani Giménez (Deportivo) supported the team when his team stayed with one player less against Racing.GoalkeeperDani Giménez (Sports) The Numancia striker was present in both goals of his team. First, to equalize the initial goal of Boateng, in a great header that marked the times perfectly. Then, to attend Curro in the 94th minute, with a strong center from inside the area, he picked up the midfielder to make the match.Stuani (Girona) Absolute leader of the Lightning. Before the Lugo he threw the team behind his back once more. The Vallecanos were better than their opponent throughout the game, which was decided with a lonely goal from the French fringe. The Madrid picked up a rejection after a shot from Montiel, and with his right leg, crossed it before a Cantero who could not do anything to avoid it.Aday Benítez (Girona)
Next Wednesday Real Madrid and Unionistas will face for a place in the eighths of the end of the Copa del Rey, but, today, It is not known where the match will be played. The decision, in principle, will be taken tomorrow after a meeting between the government delegation of Castilla and León, the City Councils of Salamanca and Villares de la Reina (responsible for Las Pistas) and the board of directors. The city hall has confirmed that it will not put obstacles to transfer the installation, although they still need permits for reform that will have to be granted by the Villares de la Reina Town Hall.The issue to be discussed, in addition to security matters, is the authorization demanded by Unionistas for the installation of the artificial lighting necessary to broadcast the Las Pistas party on television and that has an estimated cost of 70,000 euros. The club’s position remains clear: Play yes or yes in your usual stadium. If he receives the yes of the estates he will get to work to have everything ready to dispute the duel; otherwise, the other option is the Santiago Bernabéu. So far, the municipalities have torpedoed the management until the meeting occurs, so the final destination of the tie is still in the air. Unionistas thinks today that it will have to bear the costs of the installation, which would be compensated with the collection of box office of the confrontation. Finally, RFEF has confirmed that there is no problem with Las Pistas, as long as the lighting issue is fixed. Club sources confirm to AS that Real Madrid has not pressed them at any time to know the date as soon as possible.The Santiago Bernabéu, a real optionThere is a fear within Unionists that it is not possible to play in Las Pistas, due to the work requirement and the fact that it is not decided today. Given the need to receive authorization from the agencies, the club is considering other options in case it finally receives a no as an answer. Although the Zamora Silver Route had sounded, the Santiago Bernabéu gains strength. As AS learned, on the day of the draw the Real Madrid directive commented informally that he would provide all the help Unionists will need, including the cession of the stadium in case Las Pistas had no capacity to host the duel. Of course, the collection would go to the Salamanca coffers. Anyway, since then the white entity has not put on the table any formal offer of assignment and keep waiting for the authorities decision.Unionists stand firm in considering their stadium the first option. Beyond that, and despite not wanting to leave the city, if you do not have the approval, there is no other facility in Salamanca, beyond Helmantic, that meets the conditions of playing the Copa del Rey. Under these circumstances and once put to leave Salamanca, the managers have it clear: they prioritize a stadium of the dimensions of the Bernabéu although the trip is somewhat longer than the Ruta de la Plata.The Helmántico, totally discardedThe Salamanca CF UDS, current owner of the stadium of the extinct Sports Union Salamanca, has issued an official statement in which leaves in the air the possibility of transferring its fief to the City Council for the benefit of the city. In no case does he mention Unionists in his press release, although he talks about leaving aside his interests: “The Salamanca UDS always works and will work for the benefit of the city, putting, if necessary, the interests of citizens to the personal that the entity could have“.Unionists stay out of the report issued by their rival and explains that the relationship between both clubs is non-existent. So, Club sources completely rule out the possibility of playing the game in El Helmántico and prefer to travel outside the province if necessary. Thus, the debate is closed. Tomorrow final meeting for a permit not granted and totally necessary. Two options: Las Pistas … or the Santiago Bernabéu.
