Palma26 $2,092,594 5 8 12 5 25% THREE FRONTRUNNERS FOR HORSE OF THE YEARVino Rosso, Bricks and Mortar or Mitole? Which will be Horse of the Year 2019?Each has credentials worthy of consideration. Vino Rosso captured Saturday’s Breeders’ Cup Classic; Bricks and Mortar completed an unbeaten year on grass with his triumph in the Breeders’ Cup Turf; and Mitole, the fastest sprinter in the world, numbered four daylight Grade I wins among 2019’s six victories, the only flaw on his brilliant record showing in the Vanderbilt Handicap when he finished third after hitting the gate at the start.“In a year with no dominant three-year-old, and the older horses kind of taking turns beating each other, Bricks and Mortar was the king of the turf division from the time he won the Pegasus (World Cup Turf Invitational at Gulfstream Park last January) until yesterday, when he won the Breeders’ Cup Turf,” noted private clocker and bloodstock agent Gary Young.That completed a string of six straight victories, five of them Grade I’s. With yesterday’s decision, he earned $2,200,000 increasing his bankroll to $7,085,650 from 11 wins in 13 races.“Mitole would be in the mix, too,” Young said, adding the caveat “that it’s been a while since a sprinter got Horse of the Year, although he did beat McKinzie in the Met Mile.“Ghostzapper stretched out from being a one-turn horse to becoming Horse of the Year (in 2004) and Kotashaan (1993) was the last turf runner to be named Horse of the Year, so the race is pretty wide open among those three horses.” BREEDERS’ CUP BRINGS OUT BEST IN MIRAHMADIFrank Mirahmadi hit a grand slam as a rookie calling the Breeders’ Cup championship races for the first time.No flaws, no flubs, no flounders.His passion and love of the game is innate, but he raised the bar over the weekend.“It was just an unforgettable experience,” said the 52-year-old Mirahmadi, a local boy who grew up in Beverly Hills. “Many times people have asked what my favorite moments in race calling have been, and there have been some at various venues I’d consider close, but that’s no longer a question.“Calling the Breeders’ Cup races has been by far the highlight of my career and something I could have never dreamed of. My goal was to perform at my best, to do justice to the connections, the horses, the fans.“That was my priority. I felt a lot of pressure, but at the same time, I told myself to stay focused and do the best I can. I’m very pleased.”Ditto all around. $4 MILLION MANDATORY RAINBOW PICK SIX JACKPOT PAYOUT POSSIBLE TODAYWith the prospect of a massive mandatory payout pool of $4 million a strong possibility, Santa Anita’s popular 20 cent Single Ticket Rainbow Pick Six Jackpot proved elusive yet again last Sunday, resulting in a Jackpot carryover of $395,207 into today’s nine-race program.As the two-day Breeders’ Cup World Championships on Friday and Saturday offered fans a separate Pick Six pool with a one dollar minimum, there is mandatory Jackpot payout today, closing day.FRIENDS WELCOME MOST COURAGEOUS BARRY ABRAMSThere were miles of smiles after yesterday’s third race.Barry Abrams was coming to the Winner’s Circle.The former trainer, who has gallantly battled throat cancer for 15 years, is part owner as Bardy Farm of Mo Forza, winner of the Grade II Qatar Twilight Derby at odds of nearly 19-1. Onofrio Pecoraro, who campaigns as OG Boss, also owns a share of the three-year-old colt.The throng waited anxiously but patiently for Abrams to amble down the Club House steps and the ramp leading to his destination.Upon arrival, emotional hugs and kisses beyond the norm were the order of the day. Abrams, who turns 66 come March 4, was 51 when stricken with inoperable throat cancer. Ten years later and 60 pounds lighter, some of it weight from the throat cancer doctors ultimately had no choice but to remove, Abrams was still doing what he loved best, coming to the race track and training Thoroughbreds.Now, though further diminished physically, the native of Minsk, Russia, once a bear of a man at 6-4, 315 pounds, is courageous beyond question, not given to soliciting sympathy for his plight, maintains his sense of humor, and is generous without making a fuss about it.Take it from trainer Richard Baltas, who assisted Abrams in his barn operation during Barry’s five-month recovery from surgery in 2011.“He’s very kind with a good heart,” Baltas recalled. “Years ago I wanted to leave Louisiana and come to California, but I needed a job. Barry didn’t quibble. He simply asked me, ‘How much do you want to make?’ and that was it.“He came to my wedding on Feb. 26, 2011, when he was sick with cancer. He’s done many kind and generous things for me. He took me and my wife (Debby) to Las Vegas, bought the plane tickets, even bought us tickets to shows. We saw ‘Jersey Boys.’”Adds Abrams’ wife, Dyan: “Barry is so kind and helpful. If you needed the shirt off his back, he’d give it to you . . . He’s one of the good ones. He’s got a good heart and a good soul.” FINISH LINES: Joel Rosario, at the apex of a career that assuredly has him bound for the Hall of Fame, will ride on a regular basis at Santa Anita’s Winter Meet that starts Dec. 26 before heading to Kentucky when the Keeneland meet begins in April, according to his agent, Ron Anderson.LATEST CONTENT FROM XBTV:XBTV Sunday: What to Watch for at Santa Anita Park on November 3rd, 2019FEATURES:A Candid Conversation With Trainer Peter EurtonWORKOUTS:Draft Pick (Outside) and Mo Mississippi (Eurton) 11-03-19Heros Reward (Outside) and Malibu Star (Baffert) 11-03-19Defense Wins (Outside) and Fore Left (O’Neill) 11-03-19Stackin Silver (Outside) and Gidgetta (Baltas) 11-03-19Eclair (Outside) and Map Maker (Baffert) 11-03-19 26% MANDATORY PICK SIX JACKPOT PAYOUT IS POSSIBLE 20 Richard Baltas59 $336,116 12 7 1 58% ABRAMS A WINNER IN SANTA ANITA WINNERS’ CIRCLE $316,951 12 47% J.C.

Socially the year is going from curve to curve. Perhaps the greatest success that can be attributed this year to the leadership of Anil Murthy has been, precisely and despite the contagions in his wardrobe, his way of managing the coronavirus crisis, since it cannot be denied that they saw her coming before anyone else. But the ghost of Marcelino and especially that of Mateu Alemany flies over Mestalla after each trip and / or management. The signings of Thierry and Mangala, the negotiation with Barcelona for Rodrigo, the gestures to silence the president’s stand or the non-signing of a central defender after Garay’s injury mean that the future is seen with exceptionism and that the “Lim go now”, because many who fear that Valencia will continue in the fight just because of the inertia of the one that happened in May.Everything is said, today Valencia is more aware of the health crisis in Spain, which no matter how much their leaders anticipated they have not been able to avoid. “I was clear that, despite the measures adopted, people from the club would end up infected and that society could become 20% infected given the contagion curve in Spain. When we tested the footballers they were in shock, I explained to them that it was normal and that their lives are not in danger because of being infected. In fact, all of the club who have fallen into the disease are asymptomatic. Despite our protocols, exposure in recent games has brought the number of infections to 35% “Anil Murthy pointed out to Channels News Asia. On this day in 1919, Valencia (initially Football Club) was registered in the civil registry. 366 days ago, Valencia, which in addition to being called the Football Club, has also had the acronym SAD (Sociedad Anónima Deportiva) for several decades, inaugurated its Centennial events. He did it with a massive civic march from Mestalla to the place where historians locate Bar Torino, holy field where its founders met. Today Valencia is 101 years old and there is no room for any civic march or any other type of celebration beyond the virtual Internet. The population in Spain is in docimiliary isolation by COVID-19 and Valencia, in addition, in quarantine if possible more forced because the virus has sneaked into their locker room, where there is a 35% of infected staff.Thus, Valencia will have a very different birthday than the one they had when they turned 100. And not just because of the coronavirus crisis. Valencia has reached March 18 out of the European positions and with no other objective than to get into Europe. “We are closer to the Champions League than a year ago,” said Anil Murthy last Friday in an interview with official radio. Statistically he is not without reason. Valencia de Celades, despite the 42 injuries suffered by his players, is 4 points from Real Sociedad (4th); while a year ago he was 6 points from Getafe. It even adds two more points now than it did then. But Valencia transmits an irregularity (it has not won the docimilio since December) and it has a serious defensive problem (He has conceded 27 goals in the last 15 games). The feelings around the team and even the relationship between fans and property are very different. A year ago Valencia opened its Centennial with the Copa del Rey final on its horizon. Valencianism recovered with it its self-esteem and illusion, in addition to the feeling of belonging that flourished for the Centennial. The ticket for the final of May 25 was released in February and that date was key to never stop believing. Thus the team managed to reach the semifinals of the Europa League and won the Champions League place on the penultimate day. Quite the contrary has happened since the beginning of 2020, with consecutive dribbles in the Spanish Super Cup, Copa del Rey and recently in the Champions League against Atalanta. Valencia, who took drastic measures after becoming noticeable the focus of contagion that emerged in Milan, where he played on February 19, stresses that all infected staff are asymptomatic. This implies that they are following the routine work and nutrition guidelines given by the physical trainer and the medical services. “I am confined to my home. I am lucky, I have a house where my family can remain isolated. We avoid crossing as much as possible. I have zero symptoms, so I can continue to support myself by bodybuilding. They gave us a program. With a mask, I go out to my garden to continue training. And then I watch documentaries, movies, I play the console. There is Netflix, and I also read “, commented Mangala the L’Equipe.Valencia are pleased that, although their exposure in the matches has taken their toll, their pioneering measures to isolate the first squad, which they adopted even days before the mascletaes began to be fired in the city, “have at least served to prevent players from being a source of contagion “for their fans. Now Valencia keeps its Paterna facilities, offices and Mestalla closed (except for shifts of gardeners). Thus, with each one at home, Valencia will celebrate its 101st birthday. Congratulations. Valencia adds two points more than last year and is two less than the Champions, although their feelings are also opposite
LEEDS, England (AP):Eoin Morgan smashed an inspired 92 to help England to a three-wicket victory over Australia in their fourth one-day international yesterday, squaring the series ahead of the final match.Australia set England a challenging target of 300 to level the five-match series and looked set for victory after half-centuries by George Bailey (75) and Glenn Maxwell (85) at Headingley.But Morgan turned the match around and key contributions from James Taylor and Ben Stokes, who both scored 41, sent the hosts into the final overs with real belief.Moeen Ali and paceman David Willey saw England home with a total of 304-7 with 10 balls remaining. The hosts chased down 300 for the first time against Australia and only the fourth time in their history.Having trailed Australia 2-0, Friday’s victory made it 2-2 ahead of the series decider at Old Trafford, Manchester tomorrow.Though they struggled toward the end of the tourists’ innings, England made a bright enough start.Willey, in for the injured Chris Woakes, earned the wickets of Australia’s top-three batsmen, including captain Steve Smith for two.Joe Burns played on with a half-hearted shot in the third over, before Willey sent an in-swinger into Smith’s back pad for a leg before wicket decision. Jonny Bairstow then held Aaron Finch’s thin edge as England looked to be taking control.But a dropped catch in the 10th over, when Jason Roy failed to hold on to Maxwell’s edge, proved costly with the batsman then only on six.Maxwell was eventually bowled by Ali after attempting a reverse sweep to leave Australia on 167.Having entered the last 10 overs on 210-4, Australia lost Mitchell Marsh, Bailey and debutant Marcus Stoinis in the space of 10 balls.But Australia had an explosive eighth-wicket partnership in hand, with Matthew Wade and John Hastings scoring at better than 10 per over.
“So nothing new when you have comebacks, you need to do it that way, and worked well all my career for me that way.”He’ll play another Australian, Matthew Ebden, next.Nadal spoke late last year about the devastation caused by the deadly flooding on the Spanish island of Mallorca.A torrential rainstorm on Oct. 9 caused flash flooding that left a trail of destruction and killed 13 people.Nadal, who is from Mallorca, knew some of the victims and said he’s had to be philosophical about the tragedy.“I know the real life, how tough can be,” he said. “The world is suffering. Not only with this, with wars, with terrible things that’s going on.“There are families that lost almost everything. But I’m happy that all the island was together helping each other, and at some point, we receive huge support.“Human losses can’t repair at all. But the rest of the things, we are getting there.” LATEST STORIES MOST READ His only hiccup came when he served for the match in the ninth game of the third set and was broken. He returned the favor quickly, though, to seal his spot in the second round.He was quick with a serve at his media conference, too, poking fun at a journalist who appeared to be dozing .On a day when an injured Andy Murray likely played his last match at the Australian Open in a stirring five-setter — his first first-round loss at a Grand Slam tournament in 11 years — Nadal was circumspect about his progress.Murray has announced plans to retire this year because of the constant pain in his right hip. Injuries have forced Nadal to take extended breaks throughout his career and his high-energy style means he’s being more selective about when and where he plays.“My plan is wake up and see how I feel,” the 32-year-old Nadal said. “I am working about the personal feelings of every day — adapt our practice every day.ADVERTISEMENT Sweet and unsweet 16 for James Harden on a wild night in Orlando Japeth Aguilar wins 1st PBA Finals MVP award for Ginebra Ginebra beats Meralco again to capture PBA Governors’ Cup title Carpio hits red carpet treatment for China Coast Guard PLAY LIST 02:14Carpio hits red carpet treatment for China Coast Guard02:56NCRPO pledges to donate P3.5 million to victims of Taal eruption00:56Heavy rain brings some relief in Australia02:37Calm moments allow Taal folks some respite03:23Negosyo sa Tagaytay City, bagsak sa pag-aalboroto ng Bulkang Taal01:13Christian Standhardinger wins PBA Best Player award In fight vs corruption, Duterte now points to Ayala, MVP companies as ‘big fish’ The 17-time major winner hasn’t played since retiring from his semifinal at the U.S. Open because of a knee injury.

Mrs. Aisha Conneh takes the podium to endorse presidential hopeful Alex Cummings, as Mrs. Theresa Cummings (left, rear) looks on.Aisha Conneh, an estranged wife of Sekou Damate Conneh, former leader of the disbanded Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy (LURD) a faction from the Liberian civil crisis, yesterday endorsed the presidency of Alexander B. Cummings of the opposition Alternative National Congress (ANC).Madame Conneh was considered the spiritual daughter to former Guinean President Lansana Conte. She also played active part in Liberia’s electoral process in 2005 and 2011, when she pledged support to the then presidential bid of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
Aisha Conneh seated with Theresa Cummings, wife of the ANC standard bearerAt yesterday’s ceremony at the ANC headquarters on 24th street in Sinkor, Madam Conneh described Cummings as the best alternative to replace President Sirleaf.She said her decision to throw her weight behind Cummings is based on consultations in and out of the country.With 26 days to the elections, Conneh pledged to campaign for Cummings to emerge victorious at the October polls.She was accompanied by scores of Liberians, mainly from the Mandingo tribe and the Muslim community.Mrs. Teresa Cummings, in a joyful tone and on behalf of her husband, praised Mrs. Conneh for her support and warmly welcomed her for endorsing Cummings.
Aisha Conneh’s endorsement comes with a large Muslim constituencyAisha grew up in Kakata, 45 km northeast of Monrovia, where she attended school. But like many Liberians, she fled to Guinea in 1990 shortly after the start of the country’s civil war.She settled in the capital Conakry, where, according to relatives, she met her husband Sekou, for whom she bore three children.In a related development, ANC assistant secretary-general for Press and Publicity, Jonathan Dolakeh, told journalists that Mr. Cummings has a strong support from the Muslim community, because he has contributed immensely to the various initiatives the Muslim Community has undertaken when he donated US$3,000 to Bolongoidu Mosque to complete a bigger mosque in Bolongoidu, Quardu Gboni District, Lofa County.Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)
Sugar workers of the Wales Estate staged a protest outside the estate on Wednesday, demanding their redundancy pay after they were asked to move their operations to the Uitvlugt Estate.These workers were retained by the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) to be engaged mainly in the paddy experiment, which the Corporation was pursuing in the former cane fields of Wales.However, according to their union, they were instructed on Monday morning without any warning to report for work at the Uitvlugt Estate, which is located some 22 miles from their operation base.The Guyana Agricultural and General Workers’ Union (GAWU) said the affected workers approached them and upon making enquiries, they were told by the Corporation’s Head Office that the operations were taken over by the NationalSome of the workers at the Wales Sugar Estate on WednesdayIndustrial and Commercial Investments Limited – Special Purpose Unit (NICIL-SPU).They said they were further informed that two workers would be retained to maintain the Wales Estate compound and the remainder would be sent to Uitvlugt Estate.GAWU, taking into account GuySuCo’s explanation, pointed out to the Corporation that the workers’ jobs have become redundant and, therefore, the payment of their severance benefits is necessary.Notwithstanding the coherent position, GAWU noted that GuySuCo is adamant that the excess workers must take up work at Uitvlugt. This, the Union believes, is in contravention of the Termination of Employment and Severance Pay (TESPA) Act and furthermore sees GuySuCo’s “undemocratic” action as an attempt to make the workers leave their jobs, thus denying them their rightful entitlements.The actions that were taken here is somewhat similar to that which was taken by the Corporation some time ago with regards to the Wales sugar workers, who were later forced to address the matter at the judicial level.“That matter, we should add, is currently being heard and despite the unambiguity of the law, the Corporation continues to steadfastly hold onto its obstinate position. The GAWU is dismayed that it must, once again, call on the GuySuCo to respect workers’ rights and the protections afforded to them by the laws, agreements, conventions and practices,” the Union stated.When the Wales Estate was downsized in 2016, just over a hundred sugar workers from the sugar estate suffered the same fate when they were also sent to the Uitvlugt Sugar Estate for duties there.Following their refusal to commence work 22 miles away and the Union citing that it was beyond the stipulation that the Termination of Employment and Severance Pay Act (TESPA) allows, the workers staged several protest actions calling for their severance payments.However, GuySuCo maintained that the workers were not entitled to severance, with former acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the entity, Paul Bhim saying that GuySuCo had honoured all its obligations regarding the payment of severance at the Wales Estate.GAWU being the representative body for the sacked workers took the matter to court in March of 2017.Since losing their jobs in late 2016, the former Wales Estate workers, their relatives and other residents in the surrounding communities have complained of depleting finances and sustenance challenges.

AD Quality Auto 360p 720p 1080p Top articles1/5READ MORE11 theater productions to see in Southern California this week, Dec. 27-Jan. 2Despite the three-day record likely being out of reach, the 20th Century Fox release still stands to only add handsomely to its Memorial Day weekend record with its ticket sales today. The previous record-holder for the weekend had been “The Lost World: Jurassic Park” with a take of $92.7 million in 1997. The animated blockbuster “Shrek 2,” which grossed $95.6 million during its second weekend over Memorial Day 2004, had previously held the overall four-day record for the holiday. “X-Men,” the third movie in a franchise based on the popular Marvel Comics series, has already surpassed expectations with its performance so far and is providing a major boost to a movie industry that has experienced its share of major ups and downs in the past 16 months, with moviegoers becoming far more picky about which films they care to see. The film, directed by Brett Ratner and starring Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart, also became the fastest 2006 release to reach the $100 million mark in domestic box office gross. It joins a select club that also includes “The Da Vinci Code.” greg.hernandez@dailynews.com (818) 713-3758160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong. Please try again.subscribeCongratulations! You’re all set! Apparently the X-Men do have special powers, at least at the box office. In just three days, “X-Men: The Last Stand” managed to set a Memorial Day weekend record at the box office with estimated ticket sales of $107 million, the fourth-largest opening in history. Wolverine, Professor X, Storm and the rest of the heroic mutants had appeared poised to take a run at the all-time three-day record of $114.8 million set by “Spider-Man” in 2002 after an incredible opening day gross of $45.5 million Friday. But Saturday’s ticket sales fell to $32.5 million and Sunday’s are projected to be $25 million. Final three-day numbers for the action-adventure film will be released today. If Sunday’s estimates turn out to be higher than $25 million, “X-Men” could surpass third-place “Shrek 2” ($108 million) or second-place “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith” ($108.4 million) on the all-time list for three-day weekend ticket sales.
