Every once in a while a race pops up that makes you giddy with excitement from a handicapping perspective because of the many quality options for betting purposes. The Grade 1, $1 million Shadwell Turf Mile Stakes on Saturday at Keeneland Race Course is exactly that type of race.I love betting the turf races at Keeneland. So many great trainers ship in horses for the two boutique meets in the spring and fall, and the grass races almost always draw deep, competitive fields with a ton of value. Its a great feeling to bet a race with a strong opinion and know youll get rewarded for picking a winner.Of course, races such as the Shadwell Turf Mile present a heck of a challenge when one could reasonably make an argument for each of the 11 entrants to win.With that in mind, Ill map out a plan for a couple of runners that will be the key to my wagering in the Shadwell Turf Mile, which is a Win and Youre In qualifying race for the Breeders Cup Mile on Nov. 5 at Santa Anita Park.#8 Ironicus: This 5-year-old from the barn of Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey is about as honest as racehorses come. Hes won six of 13 career starts and finished in the top two in each of his last nine races. In those nine races, he won or finished within a half-length of the leader eight times, with the only clear defeat a runner-up finish by 1-3/4 lengths to superstar Flintshire in his most recent race in June 11. Ironicus prefers to come from off the pace, which works very well as a tactic on the Keeneland turf, and his trainer and jockey (Jose Ortiz) have won at a 23 percent clip on the year when joining forces. Ironicus also runs very well when rested, and McGaughey hits at 30 percent off this type of layoff. For a horse who has been the favorite in four of his last five starts, Ironicus could offer great value at somewhere in the neighborhood of 9-2 in the Shadwell Turf Mile.#7 Miss Temple City: I have a hunch that this 4-year-old filly will be a nice value on Saturday despite having beaten males in the Grade 1 Makers 46 Mile Stakes in April at this course and distance. She was the first filly to win that race, and she has the ability to add another Grade 1 win over males on Saturday. Shes finished fourth, fourth and fifth in her last three races, but the results were far better than they look on paper. The first of the group came at the prestigious Royal Ascot meet in June in a field of 14, when she was only beaten by 3-1/4 lengths. She then finished fourth by a neck in a blanket finish in the Grade 1 Diana Stakes before pressing a hot pace and fading in the Grade 2 Ballston Spa Stakes on Aug. 27 at Saratoga. She has a win and two seconds in three starts at Keeneland, where she posted her career-best Equibase and Beyer Speed Figures in the Makers 46 Mile.I expect Mondialiste (#4) to go off as the favorite in this race after winning the Arlington Million in his most recent race and finishing second last year at Keeneland in the Breeders Cup Mile. Hes talented and in terrific form. I also respect Grand Arch (#5) as a horse for the course with three wins, three seconds and a third in seven career races on the Keeneland turf, including a win in this race in 2015.For the trifecta, Ill throw in Tower of Texas (#3) off a close second to Tepin in last months Grade 1 Ricoh Woodbine Mile Stakes, and Tourist (#10), who finished third in this race in 2015 and third in the Makers 46 Mile in the spring.Three Strategies on a $20 BudgetStrategy A $10 win-place on #8 Ironicus ($20)Strategy B $3 exacta: 7,8 with 4,5,7,8 ($18) $1 exacta box: 7,8 ($2)Strategy C 50-cent trifecta: 7,8 with 4,5,7,8 with 4,5,7,8 ($6) 50-cent trifecta: 7,8 with 4,5,7,8 with 3,4,5,7,8,10 ($12)For more stories like this check out Americas Best Racing.Vapormax 2019 Canada .

The Celtics closed out their first preseason under Stevens on Wednesday night with a 101-97 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, who rested a lot of their lineup including former Celtics Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce.LOS ANGELES -- With his explosiveness, ability to take over a game in a variety of ways, and No. 5 jersey, Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey invites natural comparisons to former Southern California sensation Reggie Bush.Trojans linebacker Uchenna Nwosu wont go that far, but definitely recognizes the threat the Heisman Trophy contender presents when facing the No. 7 Cardinal on Saturday in the Pac-12 opener for both teams.I wouldnt say Reggie, Nwosu said. Reggie is like the G.O.A.T. I dont know who he reminds me of, but he is a great athlete. He is going to be a challenge for us.Defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast was brought back to USC to contain McCaffrey after he rushed for 207 yards and caught four passes for 105 yards in Stanfords Pac-12 title game win last December. McCaffrey rushed for one touchdown, caught one touchdown reception and threw one touchdown pass to quarterback Kevin Hogan, setting a USC opponent single-game record with 461 all-purpose yards.In 2013, Pendergasts USC defense held a Stanford team that went on to win the Pac-12 to 17 points in an upset win under interim coach Ed Orgeron despite being in the throes of NCAA-imposed scholarship reductions. That result and the overall work Pendergast did in helping USC win 10 games that season is a main reason why coach Clay Helton brought him back, and Pendergasts tactical acumen will be tested by the versatility of McCaffrey.Usually you see a runner or you see a receiver. When you have got the combination of both, you got to make a decision on what you are going to do, Helton said. You got to mix-and-match. Itll be a great chess match between Coach (David) Shaw and Clancy of mixing it back and forth. Thank goodness he is here.Perhaps the biggest difference Pendergast might make in containing McCaffrey will come from his mere presence on the sideline. Safety Chris Hawkins saaid the positioning of former defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox upstairs in the press box limited the options available to match Stanfords system of audibles.dddddddddddd After outside linebacker Sua Cravens had 13 tackles in the first meeting against Stanford at the Coliseum, Hawkins said Hogan was changing the play at the line of scrimmage to have McCaffrey run away from where Cravens was lined up.USC plans to show different looks intended to confuse Stanford quarterback Ryan Burns, who will be making his second career start. The hypothesis as Hawkins presented it is that if Burns cant check into the right play, it gives the defense a better chance at containing McCaffrey.The way we are playing them this year, its not like we are going to be stationary, Hawkins said. Were going to be moving around. Its going to be hard for him to check, especially with a quarterback where its only his second start. I dont know how loose the reigns are on him, but I doubt they are like Kevin Hogans who has been starting for four years.Clancy is great at disguising coverages and being able to show you one thing and at the last second it becomes another, Helton said.The reserved Pendergast wouldnt make any pronouncements about the defenses readiness to contain McCaffrey.As a defense in general were a work in progress, and I think everybody knows they can get better every single day, Pendergast said.Game notesDefensive lineman Noah Jefferson (shoulder) is doubtful to play against Stanford, Helton said. ...
