ELMONT, N.Y. -- When you win seven consecutive races, including beating males, and are perfect over a particular surface, there shouldnt be a whole lot more to prove.But Catch a Glimpse came into Saturdays Grade 1, $1 million Belmont Oaks having to prove she could carry her speed 1-1/4 miles, farther than she had ever run before.No problem.Able to get loose on the lead under Florent Geroux, Catch a Glimpse turned back a challenge from Coolmore, opened up a clear advantage in midstretch, and then held off a late run from Time and Motion to win the Belmont Oaks by a half-length. Time and Motion, finished 3-3/4 lengths ahead of Coolmore.She was followed, in order, by Pricedtoperfection, Harmonize, Auntie Joy, Last Waltz, Noble Beauty, Decked Out, Magnanime, Secure Access, Land Over Sea, and Ballydoyle.Catch a Glimpse has now won eight consecutive races - all on turf - after losing her career debut in an off-the-turf race last July 30 at Saratoga.It speaks volumes about what she can do and what the possibilities are, said Norm Casse, assistant to his father Mark. It definitely opens up more avenues for her. I think shes a horse that deserves a lot of respect and hasnt gotten much and now she may get a little more today.Despite her stellar record, Catch a Glimpse was sent off the 3-1 second choice behind Ballydoyle, the Aidan OBrien-trained filly who finished last at 2-1.Colm ODonoghue, the rider of Ballydoyle, said his filly slipped in behind going into the [stretch]. But, he added she was well-beaten at the time.Ballydoyle was expected to get some pace help from Coolmore, who, breaking from the outside post, took a right-hand turn and had to be used by Jamie Spencer to get into second position.Meanwhile, Geroux had Catch a Glimpse in her customary position at the head of the field. She was clear through a quarter-mile in 24.28 seconds, a half-mile in 49.36, six furlongs in 1:13.87, and a mile in 1:36.70.Leaving the three-furlong marker, Coolmore made a run at Catch a Glimpse, but Catch a Glimpse turned her aside. Her 3-1/2-length lead at the eighth pole was too much for Time and Motion to overcome.Catch a Glimpse, a daughter of City Zip owned by Gary Barber, Michael James Ambler, and Windways Farm, covered the 1-1/4 miles in 1:59.87, .64 of a second faster than Deauvilles final time in the Belmont Derby.We started the race a little sooner than I thought we would, from the three-eighths pole it was game on, Geroux said. Jamie come next to me and tried to win the race trying go by me, but my filly always has something left, it doesnt matter the distance.Casse, who said he had reservations about Catch a Glimpse going this far, said he felt confident once she put away Coolmore.As soon as she turned back the other horse going around the far turn I thought we were pretty much home from there, Casse said. Once she kicks away from horses shes hard to run down.Catch a Glimpse earned a fees-paid berth into the Breeders Cup Filly and Mare Turf in November at Santa Anita.Time and Motion had her three-race winning streak snapped. Trainer Jimmy Toner was hoping for some pace help, but in the end was resigned to the fact his filly was simply second-best on the day.Toner said Catch a Glimpse is a good horse thats for sure. You dont get that many 1s in front of your name without doing something right. I thought they would test her a little bit more but they didnt. It was up to us to just catch her.On turf, nobody has yet. Nat Moore Womens Jersey . -- Ohio States Urban Meyer has never had any issue acclimating to the biggest stages in college football. Mark Clayton Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. http://www.dolphinsrookiestore.com/Dolphins-Dan-Marino-Jersey/ .

"Were just throwing s--- at the wall hoping something sticks," said Tortorella about the possible line combinations for Fridays game against Columbus.

Born and raised in Toronto, Bradwell is entering his sixth CFL season, with all six played for his hometown Argonauts.WASHINGTON -- The Washington Nationals hitters are keeping manager Davey Johnson from shaving. His relief pitchers are preventing him from sleeping. Drew Storen gave up two go-ahead runs in the eighth inning Saturday night as the Nationals fell 5-3 to the Philadelphia Phillies, the latest failure for a Nationals bullpen that Johnson said "keeps me up more than the offence" -- a strong statement considering that the manager has vowed to stop shaving until his lineup breaks out of its collective hitting slump. "He made some good pitches, but, you know, Ive got to have him. Hes important to the bullpen," Johnson said. Storen (0-1) walked Michael Young, who scored the go-ahead run from first on Delmon Youngs single to the right field corner, stretching his hand across the plate to beat Bryce Harpers throw to break a 3-all tie. Pinch-runner Michael Martinez then scored on a double by Domonic Brown, who earlier hit his ninth home run. "Its just location. Its always location," Johnson said. "You get by on stuff just a little while. You have to make good pitches. Walking a guy is the death. Thats been a little bit of his problem." Storen has allowed four earned runs in his last five appearances. His ERA rose to 5.21. "I just left a couple of balls up in the zone and they found holes," he said. "Didnt make the pitches." Philadelphias win evened the three-game series and gives the Phillies another chance to reach .500 in Sundays finale -- when they can also catch the Nationals for second place in the NL East. Chad Durbin (1-0) got two outs for the win, but was removed with one out in the eighth after allowing a bunt single and a walk. Jeremy Horst pitched out of the jam and Jonathan Papelbon worked the ninth for his ninth save. Denard Span had three hits, including an RBI single, while Adam LaRoche had an RBI single and an opposite-field homer for the Nationals, but it was hardly the offensive outburst Johnson has been seeking during his razor boycott. The 70-year-old manager decided to keep letting his facial hair grow despite a modest five-run output in Friday nights win. "We had some opportunities to score, pushed a couple of runs in, but they seemedd to get some big two-out runs -- I dont know if all of them were two outs, it felt like it -- and we didnt," LaRoche said.dddddddddddd The Nationals collected 11 hits against five Philadelphia pitchers, but went 2 for 12 with runners in scoring position and left 11 men on. "Its baby steps," shortstop Ian Desmond said. "We havent been swinging the bats really at all. To put up 11 hits is good. Now the next thing we tackle is hitting with runners in scoring position." Starters Dan Haren and Jonathan Pettibone both went six innings. Haren had quite the eclectic line: six innings, three runs, 10 strikeouts, one walk and four hits -- all for extra bases. Brown and Erik Kratz hit homers on back-to-back pitches in the second inning, and Pettibone and Jimmy Rollins pounded back-to-back doubles to produce a run in the fifth. "Stuff-wise today was about as good as Ive had all year," Haren said. "I just made a couple mistakes, but if Im throwing like I am tonight well be good." Pettibone, a rookie yet to lose a decision over seven starts, matched his career high with six strikeouts while scattering nine hits and three runs. He allowed single runs in the third, fourth and fifth. NOTES: The play of the day was made accidentally by Nationals 2B Steve Lombardozzi. While trying to field a drag bunt by Freddy Galvis, Lombardozzi had the ball carom off his glove and his knee -- and straight to 1B LaRoche for the out. ... Nationals OF Tyler Moore singled for the second straight game, raising his average to a still-dubious .139. His struggles earned a special mention when Johnson was talking about facial hair. "I told Tyler the reason I was growing this was for him, to change his luck," the manager said. ... The Nationals called up utility man Jeff Kobernus from Triple-A Syracuse and designated RHP Yunesky Maya for assignment. It was Kobernus first day with the major league club, and his pregame duties included signing his name on a big white piece of paper so it could be scanned and put on the scoreboard if he made an appearance at the plate. Also, his parents flew in from California for the game, and they got to see him enter as a pinch runner in the eighth. ' ' '
