Heres what you get for $75,000 on a Sunday in September at Los Alamitos: five 3-year-old fillies going six furlongs from the stables of Richard Mandella, Bob Baffert, Doug ONeill, John Sadler, and Phil DAmato, who is fresh from his first Del Mar summer training title.For $75,000, you get from the DAmato barn the unbeaten and untested Enola Gray, who appears to have more upside than Mount Everest and whose lip tattoo reads Freak. You get the Claiborne Farm filly Bendable, an exciting late bloomer like Enola Gray; the $775,000 Tapit filly Jade Princess, who knows what its like to chase Songbird and Carina Mia, so Enola Gray should be no shock; and the $630,000 Twirling Candy filly Uptown Twirl, who won the Surfside Stakes over the course and distance last April.For $75,000, you get all this, plus the name of Beverly J. Lewis attached, which is more than most races deserve and worth at least another zero in the purse.The Lewis name should ring bells forever. Beverly and her husband, the late Robert B. Lewis, made Thoroughbred racing history as partners in the most famous California-based stable of the 1990s. Their Oregon University green-and-gold colors were flown high, far and wide, attached to some of the most exciting performers of the era. The Robert B. Lewis Stakes is a major 3-year-old event each winter at Santa Anita.Twenty years ago, Serenas Song was nearing the end of her remarkable run for the Lewises and trainer D. Wayne Lukas. At 2, she won the Oak Leaf, the Starlet, and came within a head of winning the Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies. At 3, the daughter of Rahy beat the boys in the Jim Beam and the Haskell. At age 4, Serenas Song started 15 times at nine different tracks, won from seven to nine furlongs, and came within a neck of beating males again in the Whitney.Her career totals read 38 starts, 18 wins, and another 11 seconds for earnings of nearly $3.3 million. After that, it seemed silly to wait five years for Serenas Song to take her place in the Hall of Fame, but there she was in 2002, her first year of eligibility.In March 1996 at Parrish Hill Farm in Kentucky, a chestnut son of Summer Squall was delivered to the Drone mare Bali Babe. The Lewises bought him for $200,000 as a weanling and named him for each other. Anyway, that was the joke. Charismatic went on to win the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness before suffering a career-ending injury while attempting to win the Triple Crown in the Belmont, finishing third on three legs. For his bravery as much as his record, Charismatic was crowed 1999 Horse of the Year.There were scads of others. The Lewises were part of the group that raced champion and Preakness winner Timber Country. They raced the hotshot 2-year-old Hennessy, better known these days as the sire of Beholder. They won Breeders Cup races with champions Folklore and Orientate.Sunday also marks the 20th anniversary of the Del Mar Futurity victory of Silver Charm, not a bad way to celebrate the Beverly Lewis Stakes. Trained by Baffert, Silver Charm went on to win the 1997 Kentucky Derby and Preakness, along with an Eclipse Award as 3-year-old male champion. At 4, he won a thrilling rendition of the Dubai World Cup and later that year finished a close second in the Breeders Cup Classic. In 2007, Silver Charm joined Serenas Song in the Hall of Fame.Anyone can visit Silver Charm at Old Friends Equine in Kentucky, where he holds court as, quite literally, an equine eminence grise. Charismatic is a stallion in Japan and has a ticket already stamped to come home anytime he wants.Serenas Song has been retired as a broodmare after producing seven stakes winners. Her genetic legacy lives on and in large part keeps the Lewis brand alive in the game.She had the good sense to give us fillies with her last three foals, said Jeff Lewis, Robert and Beverlys son, who manages the familys Thoroughbred interests.One of those daughters is Night and Day, whose second foal, Made You Look, won the With Anticipation Stakes at Saratoga and is aiming toward the Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf. The Lewises sold him for $360,000 as a yearling.Mom also has four horses training in Kentucky with Charlie LoPresti, Jeff Lewis noted. California was proving a little too tough for our fillies. But we sure hope to have that big horse again someday to be able to run there.The Lewis impact was considerable. Beyond their racing stable, Robert Lewis served as president of the Thoroughbred Owners of California and was on the board of the Oak Tree Racing Association, while Beverly has been on the board of the Edwin J. Gregson Foundation. Together, the Lewises were presented with the 1997 Eclipse Award of Merit, the only husband-and-wife team ever so honored.Though Beverly Lewis lives not far from Los Alamitos in Newport Beach, her health precludes her attendance on Sunday, while Jeff Lewis is traveling.Im sorry to say we wont be there, but our thoughts certainly will be with those running in the Beverly Lewis, he said. Its a great tribute to my mom and dad from a sport they loved so much. Lonnie Shelton Jersey . Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes. On a day filled mostly with qualifying matches, fifth-seeded Marcel Granollers of Spain also entered the second with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 win over Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia, while Guido Pella of Argentina defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 7-6 (6), 6-4 to advance. Tommy Burleson Jersey . - The Washington Redskins have cut defensive lineman Adam Carriker and punter Sav Rocca. https://www.supersonicsjerseys.com/ . It is a cliché dragged out by fans and pundits regularly when discussions take place around which teams are better than others. Pete Cross Jersey . Nathan MacKinnon, Jamie McGinn and Jan Hejda also scored for the Avalanche, who won despite being outshot 38-23. MacKinnons goal, also on the power play, came with just over a minute remaining. Danny Fortson Jersey . Scott won the Australian PGA last week in his first event in Australia since winning the U.S. Masters in April. American Matt Kuchar, ahead by two strokes with four to play and even with Scott with one to go, double-bogeyed the 18th after taking two shots to get out of a bunker. It is the year that Australian football went mad. Tell anyone a fortnight ago that mighty Hawthorn were to trade out Sam Mitchell and Jordan Lewis, first and second in Crimmins Medal voting in 2016, for a few pieces of silver in the form of draft picks, and you would have been certified.The fans did not even have the chance to say goodbye to a couple of iconic, multiple premiership heroes, so little wonder many of them are shifting about uncomfortably as the AFLs trade period winds to its end.Meanwhile Alastair Clarkson, the Hawthorn coach, has some explaining to do, a point the debate will inevitably reach. Hawthorn have been nothing if not pragmatic and upfront, clearly identifying their list was well off the pace in 2016, despite the top-four finish, and that changes were needed to make room for Jaeger OMeara, Tom Mitchell and Ty Vickery to join the club.But it has shaken the game to its core.Now for perspective: this is part of professional sport. Ask the Adelaide folk how they felt about Patrick Dangerfield winning a Brownlow Medal in blue and white this year, for instance, and that is before you even consider the rest of the world. In truth, we are miles behind the English Premier League or the American professional sports for levels of callous moving of players, although that is the direction we may well take.Is it actually good for footy to see Mitchell, king of the nifty sidestep and slick handball, and Lewis, the bulldozing left-footer, leave a club like Hawthorn? Surely not. Was it good for the game that Steve Johnson, James Kelly and Paul Chapman, Geelongs premiership superstars, had to play out their careers elsewhere when the Cats went in a different direction, or that Jimmy Bartel will be pushed into retirement this week, just as Brent Harvey was by North Melbourne?It is the $10 million salary cap that causes the issue, along with the widely-held belief that success in the AFL comes around in cycles. As Scott Watters, the former St Kilda coach, observed this week, any player now knows he is at the whim of the cycle. ANY player indeed, if you remember that Mitchell is an all-time greaat Hawthorn and AFL player, a walk-up Hall-of-Famer.ddddddddddddBut there is a solution right before the AFLs eyes, a feel-good compromise that has been tried before. The veterans list was a fabulous rule introduced a few years ago, initially allowing clubs to nominate one long-term player on their lists so only half of his salary was included in the cap, then tweaked over time to allow an unlimited number of veterans, then watered down more recently so that clubs only have to include a percentage of their salary in their total player payments figures.Instead of diluting this rule, the AFL could have made it stronger, more definitive. It is the rule that might stop us heading down the path of the big professional sports elsewhere, for just because something happens in another country does not make it right. We dont want Moneyball; we dont want players dehumanised, and clubs that draw zero loyalty from their employees.Twelve year, one-club players should have their salaries excluded from the salary cap as iconic players. This would mean, for instance at Hawthorn, that Mitchell, Lewis and Luke Hodge would not be under the scrutiny they have been under this year. Their salaries would be outside the cap and it would at least give a Hawthorn the chance to ride out the end of those great careers.There would be no real advantage to a club with a cluster of great veterans because if they hold on too long, they run the risk of failing to regenerate the list. But at least it gives them a chance to provide something of a farewell tour for their greatest players, for the fans to wave goodbye.Footy is not a business, despite what people say. Its like a business, but in business, your aim is profit, and your ambition is to crush the opposition and create a monopoly. In footy, everyone needs opposition to play against, no matter how bitter the rivalries.There must be room for romance, an explanation for the kid with the No. 5 Sam Mitchell guernsey who cannot work it all out this week.
