Lyle Alzado Raiders Jersey .Dam Ready and Highland Beat run in the Magic Millions 3&4YO Classic (1100m) on Saturday to try to earn a spot in the Magic Millions Guineas or Magic Millions Sprint in January.Both horses have definitely got the ability if right and were hopeful theyre competitive with a view to the Gold Coast, co-trainer Tom Dabernig said.Its hard to go into this race confident on their current form but the horses are well in themselves.Im hoping they can bounce back.Dam Ready has been a consistent performer but has won only one of his eight starts.We stretched him out to 1400 metres at his last run but he didnt quite run it out so weve brought him back in trip and put the blinkers on, Dabernig said.Highland Beat looked to be in for a good spring after second placings behind Russian Revolution and Defcon in consecutive races at Caulfield in August.But the three-year-old lost confidence on soft tracks and hasnt been seen since finishing sixth at Moonee Valley on October 21.The track was a little greasy and soft for him and a lot of horses didnt run true to their form that night, Dabernig said.He sustained a long prep and held his form last time in but hes just had a couple of races where hes ended up in awkward spots and the ground wasnt in his favour.Valliano wont be joining the Lindsay Park Gold Coast team but is in a similar position to his stablemates.He runs in the VOBIS Gold Eureka Concrete (1400m) with Dabernig hoping for a return to form.The winner of the VOBIS Gold Ingot in April, Valliano has failed to fill a place in five races during the spring.But Dabernig is prepared to forgive Valliano his unplaced run last start at Flemington and expects improvement from the inside barrier.He drew wide at Flemington and had no luck, Dabernig said.His run before that he wasnt beaten far. Hes drawn a gate that gives him his chance at the 1400 metres.

http://www.shoptheraidersonline.com/Elite-Hunter-Renfrow-Raiders-Jersey/ . Oyama had six birdies and two bogeys at Kintetsu Kashikojima in the event also sanctioned by the Japan LPGA Tour. "I have been having this neck ache thats been affecting my golf recently," Oyama said. KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Jamaal Charles is ready to take the training wheels off.Those are his words, by the way.The four-time Pro Bowl running back returned to the field against Pittsburgh a couple of weeks ago for the first time since tearing the ACL in his right knee in Week 5 last season.But he only played 10 offensive snaps and had just two carries in what turned into a 43-14 rout .After a week off, Charles was downright ebullient when he learned he would be a full participant in practice this week. And that means he should be a full participant in Sundays game in Oakland.I feel like Im ready, he said. I told them to let the training wheels off me -- I know how to ride now. Take them off and let me ride.The Chiefs (2-2) desperately need Charles to ride like the old days.The popular narrative of the first four games of the season is that the Chiefs have been just fine with the tandem of Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West.It has been espoused by everyone from coach Andy Reid to quarterback Alex Smith, and there was some substance to back up the claims after Ware played such an instrumental role in rallying Kansas City to a victory over San Diego in its opener.But the reality is that Ware has not had the same kind of impact the past three games, and West has been banged up. Third-string running back Knile Davis was also hurt in the game against the Steelers.As a result, the Chiefs are averaging just over 90 yards rushing per game, putting them 21st in the league -- a perilous imbalance for a team that cannot rely on Smith to win games with his arm.Chiefs offensive coordinator Brad Childress acknowledged Thursday that research during the bye week revealed a massive run-pass discrepancy. He said part of it had to do with the fact that Kansas City has often been playing from behind, forcing the Chiefs away from a ground-centric offensive approach.But he also admitted the Chiefs are hoping to establish the run better.Thats where Charles comes into play.All those guys have things that they do better than others, Childress said. Well kind of sprinkle him in there where we think hes most effective.Reid declined to project how much of the load Charles woould carry against the Raiders, only saying that as long as there are no setbacks, hell probably do a little bit more.
Marcus Allen Youth Jersey. Charles said hes not concerned about how his knee will hold up, nor is he worried about getting hit again. He just wants to get enough carries that he can feel as if hes a part of the plan.Ive been hit my whole life. Im not worried about getting tackled, he said. I just need to get back in a game and get a rhythm and get the feeling back.Even though Charles is coming off his second surgically repaired ACL, he remains one of the most versatile and dynamic running backs in the NFL. His career average of 5.5 yards per carry tops Jim Brown for most in league history among qualifying running backs, and he is closing in on most of the franchise records he doesnt already own despite missing most of two seasons to injury.Their career rushing leader needs six receptions to pass Ed Podolak for second-most among Chiefs running backs, and he needs less than 1,300 yards to pass Tony Gonzalez for most yards from scrimmage.Those are chases that Charles is eager to resume.Its nonstop from here. Its like a snowball, you know what Im saying? Keep going down the hill, he said. Right now we have to stay on track, stay focused.Indeed, his return comes at a crucial juncture for the Chiefs. They face division rival Oakland on Sunday before a stretch of five straight games against teams with losing records.Its the perfect opportunity to make up ground on the AFC West.We have to come together as a team and dont panic, Charles said. Twelve games seems long but its very short. Its not like basketball with a hundred games. We have to just not panic and stay calm.Game notes LBs Tamba Hali (knees) and Sio Moore (flu) returned to practice Thursday. ... Moore signed last week after getting cut by Indianapolis, and has gotten up to speed quickly enough that he could play against Oakland. Im just preparing for whatever role theyre going to put me in, he said.---AP NFL website:
