Trainer Tony McEvoys gamble to spend up on yearlings has paid early dividends and now the strong crop of two-year-olds is heading north in search of more success. Stu Grimson Jersey .The first of the stables raiders will be Illumicon who is set to debut in Saturdays Golden Gift (1100m) at Rosehill.McEvoy has trained four two-year-old winners this season including Despatch, headed a one-two with stablemate Nistaan in Saturdays Ballarat Magic Millions Clockwise Classic, and the Group Three Maribyrnong Plate with Aspect on November 5.Im very proud of my two-year-olds, McEvoy said.The strong brigade of young horses coming from Angaston and Flemington is no fluke.I was buying some really lovely horses but they werent good enough when it came down to it and I knew I had to buy better quality, McEvoy said.We went with a plan this year and bought some absolutely outstanding horses.We spent a lot of money but were getting the rewards.Illumicon finished second in a barrier trial behind Despatch at Morphettville on October 24.When Despatch came out and won I thought well thats good enough to run in a race in Sydney on Saturday, McEvoy said.After a jump-out at Ballarat, McEvoy decided to wait for Saturdays $150,000 race with his nephew, Melbourne Cup-winning jockey Kerrin McEvoy, will ride.He just didnt pull up ready and thats why I didnt run him at Ballarat, he said.McEvoy is likely to split Despatch and Nistaan between the Magic Millions race at Wyong on December 22 and a Brisbane metropolitan race en route to the Magic Millions 2YO Classic on the Gold Coast, the race Illumicon is also targeting.TONY McEVOYS TRAVELLING 2YO BRIGADE* ILLUMICONSet to debut in Saturdays Golden Gift at Rosehill.

According to a report from the Winnipeg Free Press, the Bombers will name Acting GM Kyle Walters to the post full time. https://www.cheapducks.com/ . -- Jimmy Walkers first PGA Tour trophy came with a special gift tucked inside. Melbourne have secured a NRL preliminary finals berth with a pulsating 16-10 win at AAMI Park, forcing defending premiers North Queensland into a do-or-die clash next weekend with Brisbane.It was some revenge on Saturday night for the Storm, who last season were sent crashing out in their preliminary final against the Cowboys at the same venue.They will enjoy a week off, as North Queensland host the Broncos.Melbournes kicking game, including a 40-20 by skipper Cameron Smith, proved key, particularly in the dying stages.The minor premiers and the titleholders played out an absorbing battle with the teams locked at 6-6 at halftime.Smith broke the deadlock with a penalty goal in the 49th minute and then Storm centre Cheyse Blair made a crucial strip on Cowboys five-eighth Michael Morgan, with prop Jesse Bromwich burrowing over in the following set to make it 14-6.It looked like the home side would take control of the match but Morgan made amends soon after when he fired a ball to winger Kyle Feldt, who dived over in the corner.Johnathan Thurston failed to convert to leave the score at 14-10.That was extended by Smith with Feldt giving away a silly penalty as he tackled Blair.The Storm dominated early, throwing everything at their rivals.After 20 minutes, they had had 64 per cent of possession and 73 per cent of territory but couldnt crack the North Queensland defence until the 32nd minute.Winger Suliasi Vunivalu collected his 23rd try of the season when he pounced on a ball lost by Cowboys centre Kane Linnett. Todd Ewen Jersey. .The flying Fijian turned on the jets to run 60 metres, burning off Thurston to touch down.However, the Cowboys then gained some momentum which paid off in the final minute of the half with a kick by Thurston ricocheting off a Storm player. It was scooped up by Lachlan Coote, who found Antonio Winterstein in the corner.Lining up on Friday night against the Broncos, who they beat in last years grand final, Cowboys coach Paul Green said his team were their own worst enemies during the second half.The Storm had 18 sets down on our tryline and we only had 10 for the game so, against a team like Melbourne, thats not going to win you the game, Green said.They were deserving winners.Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy said his team had taken their game to a new level in the past two weeks but would enjoy the week off ahead of their grand-final qualifier.He pinpointed a period midway through the first half when the Storm held the Cowboys out after having to make four line dropouts.That was defining for me as we didnt buckle and that sent a message, he said.I thought they were tremendous tonight and I felt like we controlled the game really well and to go to another prelim is a pat on the back for our players, Bellamy said.
