For the first time in its 134-year history the Birdsville Cup was won by a female trainer and jockey combination.Moore Alpha, trained by Heather Lehmann, was ridden to victory by Darwin jockey Kayla Cross in the main event of Sundays Birdsville races to create history.Lehamnn, who trains in the South Australian town of Murray Bridge, told The Australian after the historic victory she was close to selling the horse.This horse was a bit trying earlier on, she told The Australian. I was keen to sell it but its my husbands favourite, so we kept him and I persevered. Hes come good.Despite heavy rains on Thursday that saw all roads blocked into the far western Queensland town, 3000 punters still made the journey and witnessed history being made.It won in the last couple of strides, Birdsville Race Club president David Brook said. We had Rebecca Kerwin, who won the cup (in 2003) on a horse called Marauding Lass back a fair while ago. But a lady trainer and a lady rider is rare.The crowds didnt get to see the famed red dust fly up from the track, instead excavators, graders and front-enders worked to make the drenched dirt track available after a 55mm downfall on Thursday, and on Friday and Saturday there were still fears the Birdsville Cup wouldnt go ahead.But just an hour before Sundays opening race, the club got the all clear to run all of the days 11 races including some postponed races from Friday and Saturday.We had a big job over the last couple of days to get the water off the track and then grade it up, Mr Brook told The Australian. We did a lot of work on it and finished up at nine oclock this morning. We then got the OK to go ahead.Despite the small crowd, the event lived up to its reputation for its spiritedness with the enthusiastic crowds lapping up the atmosphere, but remained well behaved according to Mr Brook.It was a very happy crowd, a good crowd. The roads have sort of been out of whack for a little while now. Its been a great day. Luis Scola Jersey . -- Josh Sterk scored once and set up two more as the Oshawa Generals edged the visiting Belleville Bulls 3-2 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action.

Halifax beat the Saint John Sea Dogs 7-5 on the strength of two goals apiece from Nikolaj Ehlers, Matt Murphy and Brent Andrews. Jonathan Drouin also scored and had three assists while Zachary Fucale made 17 saves for the Mooseheads (16-8-0), who led 6-1 after two periods. Muggsy Bogues Jersey . - Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie never doubted he would bring back coach Dennis Allen for a third year despite back-to-back 4-12 records. If the Bulldogs are to have any hope of securing a home elimination final, theyre going to have to conquer the greatest Docker of all time.The Bulldogs need to beat Fremantle at Domain Stadium on Sunday - and rely on either GWS or Hawthorn losing - if they are to sneak into fifth or sixth spot.On paper, the Bulldogs should romp to victory against a Fremantle outfit who has won just three games this season.But this is no ordinary game, with the match doubling as an emotional send-off to Pavlich.The 34-year-old will hang up his boots at the end of the game, and a packed crowd is expected to be present for his farewell.Pavlich needs just one more goal to reach the 700 mark. If he achieves that, hell become just the third player to notch both 350 games and 700 goals.Bernie Quinlan (366 games, 817 goals) and Kevin Bartlett (403 games, 778 goals) are the other two.The Dockers failed dismally in their two most recent milestone games.In Pavlichs 350th, Fremantle copped a 90-point hammering at the hands of Sydney.Annd in skipper David Mundys 250th-game milestone last week, Fremantle were flogged by 92 points by GWS.ddddddddddddPavlich is well loved by his teammates.And if theres a game where theyre willing to bleed just that little bit more, it will be this one.All Ive implored the guys to do is play with passion, play some hard football, and be unconditional to each other, and not let their teammates down, Pavlich said.If we walk off the field knowing weve delivered upon that, Ill be able to look at them all in the eye afterwards and really enjoy their company.I remember playing in Shaun McManuss farewell game in 2008. That was a really emotional day for us all, because he was the heart and soul of the team.I still hear from Shaun and he talks about how high esteem he holds the individuals that played well for him on that day. So theres a little bit of that going into this weekend as well. ' ' '
