A case can be made for taking a day off after the ordeal of Del Mars opening program. Those who survive Fat Tuesday get a whole year to recover. The Oklahoma Land Rush was one and done.But at Del Mar, the show goes on. Saturday will come up quickly, even with its 2 p.m. Pacific post time, and for true racing fans, that is when the real Del Mar meet begins.Unlike opening day, beautiful men and women will be appreciated for their handicapping skills instead of their superficial good looks. There is room to breathe, and even turn around, in the Turf Club. And there is no jeopardy of being injured by someone wearing a hat depicting the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald.Saturdays program also will feature the first noticeable tweak to the stakes schedule under the leadership of racing secretary David Jerkens, who came to the job in 2014. That summer, Jerkens was faced with a brand-new turf course not quite ready for prime time. Last year, he was similarly presented with the maiden voyage of a new dirt main track replacing the degraded Polytrack. When asked what major renovation he dealt with this time around, Jerkens paused to think.They painted the racing office, he replied.Yes, they did, going from some dull industrial shade to a calm, creamy white that certainly will guarantee full fields and happy horsemen all summer long.Del Mar long ago dropped any pretense of working with or around Arlington Parks Beverly D. Stakes for the female grass bunch. This year, to give the division a sensible, two-step series, the schedule shifted the 1-1/16-mile Yellow Ribbon Handicap from the rump of the meet to the first Saturday and pushed the 1-1/8-mile John C. Mabee Stakes to the final Sunday of the season, Sept. 4.Both are worth $200,000, which is about all you get for a Grade 2 race in California these days, and pretty much guarantees Jerkens and his crew will need to hustle if they are to avoid demotion to Grade 3.Still, no matter how hard they try, the trend does not seem to favor Del Mar. During the 39-day meet, there will be 21 graded races, six of which are Grade 1, led by the Del Mar Futurity, which has produced the last three winners of the Kentucky Derby.In contrast, during the 40-day Saratoga meet that begins next week, there will be 35 graded races, 16 of them rated Grade 1 by the American Graded Stakes Committee, a wholly owned function of the Kentucky-based Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association. Conclusions may now be drawn.The Mabee sailed along as a Grade 1 race for 26 years from 1984 to 2009. As for the Yellow Ribbon, it was the premier distance grass race in California for fillies and mares for 33 seasons while run at Santa Anita during the Oak Tree Racing Association meet.When the group was booted from Santa Anita, the race name was retained by Oak Tree, along with some office furniture and stationery, and was offered to Del Mar in place of the Palomar Handicap. Since no one could recall why it was named the Palomar Handicap in the first place, the change was a no-brainer. It helped that Oak Tree funded most of the purse.Oak Tree does business in Northern California now and left the Yellow Ribbon behind for Del Mar to enjoy, and fund, as its own. On Saturday, the race will feature the graded stakes winners Queen of The Sand, Finest City, Her Emmynency, Nancy From Nairobi, and Keri Belle, plus the 1-2 finishers from the 2015 Yellow Ribbon, Shes Not Here and Prize Exhibit.Theres little doubt that Prize Exhibit likes Del Mar. She won the 2015 San Clemente over the course, finished third in the Del Mar Oaks, and was not embarrassed last fall against her elders in the Matriarch. She was off to the races this year with a win in the Monrovia at Santa Anita, but then her running style caught up with her, and she has had little joy since.Thats the price you pay with a stretch runner like her in big fields on the grass, said trainer Jim Cassidy at his Del Mar barn this week.In her last five turf starts, Prize Exhibit has been part of fields numbering 13, 14, 11, 11, and 14. Most recently, she was fifth behind the record-setting Celestine in the Just a Game at Belmont Park, beaten less than two lengths for second.And she would have been second with any luck at all, Cassidy insisted.Two stalls down, Prize Exhibit was eavesdropping in a shadowy corner, but her long, white blaze gave her away. The English-bred daughter of Showcasing has been knocking heads with some of the best in the division not named Tepin over the past year. If she has taken it to heart, it did not show in the glow of her dark brown coat. Cassidy leaked an admiring smile, then quickly recovered his game face.Shes at her best at a mile, he said, so well see if she can get the mile and a sixteenth. Even then, shell need luck.Then again, theres only nine in the field. Prize Exhibit might feel like shes all alone out there. Yeezy Pas Cher Chine . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night.

Luke Harrison spoiled Garrett Hughsons shutout bid with a power-play goal at 13:17 of the third period. The Spokane goaltender finished with 28 saves, including a Brandon Fushimi penalty shot in the second period that would have tied the game 1-1. Ultra Boost Femme Solde .Y. - Free agent outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, fresh off winning the World Series with Boston, reached agreement with the rival New York Yankees on a seven-year contract worth about $153 million, a person familiar with the negotiations said Tuesday night. New Open champion Henrik Stenson has joked he still has some way to go to match Zlatan Ibrahimovics status in his native Sweden.Stenson produced one of the?Open Championships greatest final-round performances to emerge triumphant after a classic duel with Phil Mickelson at Royal Troon on Sunday.The 40-year-olds eight-under-par 63 was a new fourth-round low for an Open champion and his final score of 20 under par was also a record for the championship.His achievement in becoming Swedens first major winner has attracted huge attention in Sweden but Stenson insists Ibrahimovic, the countrys former football captain and record goalscorer, remains number one.Stenson told BBC Radio Five Live: I think I said I would need to win 10 majors to get up to his recognition but maybe five will do it. Well see!This is huge back home and it has been quite chaotic with all the media, but it is all good and I am just going to try to recharge.Stenson has little time to reflect on his victory before headiing to America for the U.dddddddddddd.S. PGA Championship, the final major of the year, next week. After that comes the Olympics in Rio.Golfs presence in the Games has been controversial with a number of top players pulling out but Stenson has always been keen to feature.He said: It is important. I have been looking forward to it for a good few years. It is always a great honour to represent your country. I am a huge sporting fan in general and to see an Olympic Games from the inside and participate it is going to be huge.If I can do myself and my country proud by bringing home a medal that would be awesome, it would be something to hang next to some nice trophies.I have got a Claret Jug now. An Olympic gold medal -- or any Olympic medal -- would be quite nice to put next to it in the trophy cabinet.Im going there excited and I am going to try my hardest. ' ' '
