Jockey Jose Ortiz put a bow on a spectacular Belmont Park spring/summer meeting, winning four races on Sundays closing-day card, including the $125,000 Lynbrook Stakes on the first-time starter Miss Freeze. Darius Leonard Jersey .Ortiz, 22, finished the 54-day meet as the leading rider with 78 winners, 21 more than his brother Irad Ortiz Jr., who did win the meets signature event, the Belmont Stakes. Irad Ortiz won the last race on Sundays card to leapfrog Manny Franco and finish as the second-leading rider with 57 wins.Jose Ortiz, who also won the Aqueduct winter and spring meet titles, won two of the first three races of the Belmont meet and never looked back. He had three four-win days and one five-win day.Its great, the best riders are here I think, said Ortiz, who also won two stakes at Delaware Park on Saturday. Im really happy. Today, I was on 10 mounts -- actually nine after his mount in the last was a late scratch -- my agent [Jimmy Riccio Jr.] did a great job. I was on the right horses.Though Miss Freeze had never run before, she certainly proved to be the right horse in the Lynbrook. After getting bumped at the start, Miss Freeze rated in fourth position. Around the turn, she dropped back to last as Ortiz said she was getting out a little tiny bit. Ortiz said after he showed Miss Freeze the whip, she got going again.At the quarter pole, pace-setting Zenna drifted off the rail, and Miss Freeze had a huge opening to go on through. She galloped home a 6-1/4-length winner over Wilburnmoney, the only winner in the field who got second by a half-length over favored Paz the Bourbon.David Cannizzo, the trainer of Miss Freeze, said he scratched the filly out of a July 8 maiden race to run in the Lynbrook. He and owners Michael Imperio, Joe Bulger and DJC Racing decided to go in a race with a shorter field.This was always an idea, Cannizzo said. Shes a very special filly. The maiden had [10] horses and we thought the stake would have six or seven. Id rather go in a smaller field.Cannizzo said that Miss Freeze would likely be pointed to the Saratoga Special on Aug. 13, or the $200,000 Seeking the Ante Stakes at Saratoga on Aug. 26.Ortiz was not the only rider to win four races on Sundays closing day card. Junior Alvarado also rode four winners, finishing the meet with 28.Trainer Chad Brown won his first Belmont spring/summer title with 38 wins, 13 more than Todd Pletcher.By virtue of Champagne Ruby winning Sundays fourth race, Michael Dubb finished as the leading owner with 12 wins, one more than Chester and Mary Broman.After four dark days, racing on this circuit resumes Friday at Saratoga. Pat McAfee Colts Jersey . Burris threw two TD passes, including a key 15-yard fourth-quarter strike to Bakari Grant that effectively countered a Toronto comeback bid and led Hamilton to a 33-19 victory. Malik Hooker Colts Jersey . The Redskins announced Monday that the quarterback who led the team to the Super Bowl championship in the 1987 season will serve as a personnel executive. http:///...-faulk-colts-jersey/ . Olli Jokinen, Mark Scheifele, and Bryan Little each had a goal and an assist as Winnipeg won 5-2, handing Calgary its record-setting seventh consecutive loss on home ice. The Denver Broncos head to the West Coast on a short week to play AFC West rival San Diego Chargers on Thursday Night Football. The Broncos are coming off their first loss of the season, to the Atlanta Falcons, 23-16. Denver is also dealing with the temporary loss of their Super Bowl-winning head coach Gary Kubiak. The Broncos head coach will not make the trip to San Diego after suffering a complex migraine.Gary is going to concentrate on Gary this week. Everybody else will concentrate on getting a win down in San Diego, said general manager John Elway.Special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis is serving as the interim head coach as the Broncos prepare for the Chargers. DeCamillis is involved in week-to-week game management and this was the reason he was tabbed the coach instead of former NFL head coach Wade Phillips, the Broncos defensive coordinator.How much actual preparation will be needed to face San Diego is a different story. The Chargers have had four nail-biting losses this season and are coming off another close loss to the Oakland Raiders in Week 5, 34-31. The Chargers had a chance to tie the game on a field goal late in the fourth quarter, but holder Drew Kaser fumbled the snap and the kick did not get attempted.You cant make this stuff up. You think, Really, is there any other way we can find a way to (lose?), said Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers after the loss on Sunday.San Diego has lost four out of the last five games. The Chargers have lost 10 straight to an AFC West opponent and hope to avoid making the streak 11 this Thursday.Chargers head coach Mike McCoy appears to be on the hot seat as the Chargers have struggled most of 2015 and now into 2016. The offense, behind Rivers, still continues to put up huge numbers. But the 11 offensive turnovers have killed drives and put the defense on short fields.The Chargers have eight lost fumbles on the season. One of the major culprits of those fumbles is second-year running back Melvin Gordon. The former first-rounder out of Wisconsin had a fumble in the Week 4 loss to the New Orleans Saints and another against the Raiders.I was conscious about it, and I dont even think a defender hit it. I have to go watch it. Walking off, I was so upset. We were driving it. I was getting into a zone. And then, it just came out, said Gordon of his turnover.The Broncos defense will attack Gordon all game long and test his ball security. That defense, led by outside linebacker Von Miller, has recovered four fumbles this season and will be looking for more on Thursday night. Miller and Co. Kenny Moore Womens Jersey. will also be hunting for sacks. The Denver defensive unit has sacked opposing quarterbacks 19 times this season.The Chargers offensive line, which could be without starting right tackle Joe Barksdale again this week due to a foot injury, has given up only 11 sacks. This unit has played better than it did in 2015 when it gave up 40 sacks for the season. Seven of those sacks came against the Broncos in 2015. How the line handles Denvers defensive front will go a long way in determining the outcome.Against Denver in Week 5, the Falcons used their running backs as wide receivers and spread them out along the offensive formations. This forced inside linebackers Brandon Marshall and Todd Davis to leave the tackle box and play man coverage on the edges. Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan took advantage of these matchups and the game plan helped hand the Broncos their first loss of the year.(Atlanta) spread us out. The key part was that they had time to get those guys downfield. For backs to get downfield, it takes some time. You cant ask (Marshall) and Todd and those guys to hold up that long, said Kubiak.While McCoy may try to implement this scheme into the game plan, the loss of a great pass catcher like Chargers running back Danny Woodhead, who is out for the season, may prevent the Chargers offense from using this attack as much as it might like.The Broncos offensive line gave up six sacks in the loss to the Falcons, and no matter who is at quarterback, rookie Paxton Lynch or, if healthy, Trevor Siemian, that is too many hits for a quarterback to take. Especially with a healthy Joey Bosa lining up along the defensive line for the Chargers. The third overall selection in the 2016 draft played in his first NFL game against the Raiders and exploded onto the scene. The rookie collected two sacks and five total tackles in his debut.Siemian was listed as a questionable Wednesday due to a left shoulder injury. Broncos cornerback Kayvon Webster (hamstring) also is questionable, while linebacker DeMarcus Ware (forearm) is out.Chargers cornerback Brandon Flowers (concussion) and safety Jahleel Addae (collarbone) will missed the game. Six San Diego players are listed as questionable: tackle Joe Barksdale (foot), guard Orlando Franklin (ankle), tackle Chris Hairston (groin), cornerback Craig Mager (shoulder), running back Dexter McCluster (hamstring) and linebacker Denzel Perryman (shoulder).
