Iron horse Mihany has returned to winning form with a record-breaking win at Pakenham. Ozzie Newsome Browns Jersey .The Lindsay Park trained galloper lowered the 1600m track record when successful in Saturdays David Bourke Memorial Handicap.Ridden by apprentice Regan Bayliss, Mihany was sent out the $2.50 favourite before scoring by 3-1/4 lengths from Kenjorwood ($3.90) with Petrology ($6) a long neck away third.The victory brought up a race-to-race double for Lindsay Park after Snitzson scored in the Wise Choice Catering Handicap.Senior Lindsay Park trainer David Hayes described Mihany as an iron horse following the win.Hes been in work for something like 450 days and hes won three races for the new ownership, Hayes said.Mihany began his campaign in October last year and apart from a nine week break in August, where he changed ownership, has been in work ever since.Hayes said Mihany, a $600,000 yearling buy, was purchased by his current owners for $110,000.He was owned by Shadwell who move on a few horses for their next yearling intake, Hayes said.I encourage them not to but understand they have to and thats why they are good to buy off.The new owners have done very well.Mihany will now head to the Lord Stakes (1700m) at Caulfield on December 26.Then there might be a freshen up but I hate turning out in-form older horses, Hayes said.My theory on Mihany is if he runs a bad race I give him one more chance and he always bounces back.Well run in the Lord and if he runs poorly, we may freshen up. Sheldrick Redwine Youth Jersey .R. Smith realized how easily basketball can be taken from him, and he wasnt going to take his place in the NBA for granted anymore. Odell Beckham Jr Jersey . The Nashville Predators were glad their captain was still on their side. Weber had a goal and two assists, and Roman Josi scored the shootout winner to lift the Predators to a 4-3 win over the Flyers on Thursday night. http:///...eibert-Elite-Jersey/ . After a replay, the winner will meet Sunderland in the quarterfinals. Sagbo did well to control Sone Alukos right cross and fire past Brighton goalkeeper Peter Brezovan. Aluko was making his first start in four months after recovering from an Achilles injury. Defense, pitching and home games have been sources of irritation for the St. Louis Cardinals.But hitting homers can cover a multitude of sins, and St. Louis is currently in position for its sixth straight postseason berth because it continues to crush the ball over the wall.As the Cardinals start a three-game series Tuesday night with the New York Mets at Busch Stadium, theyll do so having belted a National League-high 173 homers, including 26 in their last 12 games.Only Baltimore (192) and Toronto (179) have drilled more homers than St. Louis, and both have the advantage of playing their home games in hitters parks.Its not the only way we can score runs, but its our main way, Cardinals first baseman Brandon Moss said. Weve got a lot of guys in the lineup that can do a lot of damage, and it puts some stress on pitchers. Its nice to have guys in the lineup who can change a game like that.Moss has done more than any St. Louis hitter to change games with the long ball, even though he missed nearly a month with a sprained ankle. In just 290 at-bats, Moss has cracked 23 homers, his latest on Sunday in a 9-0 win at Philadelphia.The Cardinals recorded four homers in that game, including their 14th pinch-hit blast of the year by Jeremy Hazelbaker in the eighth inning. That tied the all-time MLB record and capped a 6-3 road trip that gave St. Louis (66-57) a 1 1/2-game lead over Miami for the NLs second wild-card spot.However, the Cardinals play their next six games at home, where they are only 28-33 this year. That might provide a glimmer of hoppe for New York, which needs all the positives it can get at this point. Austin Seibert Jersey. At 62-62, the defending NL champs are 4 1/2 games behind St. Louis and need at least a series win, if not a sweep. They are coming off a series split in San Francisco, thanks to a 2-0 win on Sunday night.If youre going to win, your good players have to play good. We ride those guys, Mets manager Terry Collins said. Hopefully, this is the start of what we want to do.The series opener pits left-handers on the mound as the Cardinals trot out Jaime Garcia (10-8, 4.11 ERA) against Jonathon Niese (8-7, 5.30).Garcia has won his last three starts, although he was propped up by the offense in an 8-5 decision on Aug. 16 in Houston, allowing five runs in five-plus innings. His only outing against New York earlier this year resulted in a 3-1 loss on July 26 in the nightcap of a doubleheader.Niese has faced St. Louis three times this season while pitching for Pittsburgh, going 1-1 and allowing 13 runs off 24 hits in 16 innings. He absorbed a 13-5 defeat Wednesday night at Arizona in his first start with the Mets.In an appealing matchup Wednesday night, the Cardinals Carlos Martinez (11-7, 3.24 ERA) faces Jacob deGrom (7-6, 2.73). Adam Wainwright (9-7, 4.71) will pitch Thursday nights series finale for St. Louis against a starter to be determined, as Steven Matz will skip his turn after being diagnosed with a left shoulder strain on Monday.
