He will be seeking his third stakes win after victories in the $250,000 Sleepy Hollow last month at Belmont Park and the $120,000 Aspirant in September at Finger Lakes.Pat On the Back on Monday was flying from his Churchill Downs base to Delta Downs, which is located in Vinton, La. Trainer Ken McPeek said there were several reasons to target the Jackpot, a 1-1/16-mile race for 2-year-olds that carries eligibility points for the Kentucky Derby.We felt like he was ready for open company, McPeek said. Theres more to gain than there is to lose. Hes a horse thats been real professional, been on form, and we figured wed step him up.Pat On the Back races for Harold Lerner, AWC Stables, and Nehoc Stables. He is a son of Congrats who was purchased at auction as a yearling for $70,000 at Saratoga.He was a big, strong horse as a yearling and hes progressed at 2, McPeek said.

It will be the first time the rider has teamed with the horse.I wanted somebody that knew the track down there, McPeek said. I wanted someone who knew the course, the configuration.Albarado and McPeek won the Jackpot in 2006 with Birdbirdistheword.McPeek is hopeful Pat On the Back will adapt to the conditions at Delta, considering the horse has won races at Belmont, Finger Lakes, and Saratoga.Hes handled about everything thrown at him up to now, McPeek said.The Jackpot is the centerpiece of the Delta meet, and it will anchor a Saturday card of eight stakes worth a total of $2.3 million. First post is 1:45 p.m. Central, and the races will be streamed live at DRF.com. The Jackpot is part of an all-stakes pick four that will run on races 4-7 and have a minimum guaranteed pool of $200,000.McPeek also will be active on the undercard with probable favorites in both the $75,000 Sams Town and the $75,000 Orleans.

Toby Alderweireld Jersey . In what the team had called a retirement, Ryan said Thursday that he is resigning as chief executive of the Rangers in a move effective at the end of this month. Jason Denayer Belgium Jersey . After the whistle, Thornton skated the length of the ice, pulled Orpik to the ice from behind and punched him in the face several times. http:///...pean-Belgium-Jersey/ . -- James Young couldnt wait to apply those tweaks to his jump shot, and the first one he made against UT Arlington told him it could be a good night. HOCKENHEIM, Germany -- In an attempt to avoid debates over whether drivers are speeding under yellow flags in qualifying, FIA race director Charlie Whiting will now red flag sessions rather than showing double-waved yellows.At the Hungarian Grand Prix last weekend, Nico Rosberg was investigated by the stewards for speeding under double-waved yellows during his qualifying lap. Although the stewards decided not to take any action, the incident sparked a debate among drivers over how hard they should be pushing when yellow flags are being shown for incident on track.To avoid any doubt and remove the decision from the stewards, qualifying sessions will now be red flagged if an incident occurs that was previously worthy of double-waved yellows. Such incidents in races and practice sessions will still result in Virtual Safety Car periods as is currently the case.Ever since we had the Virtual Safety Car in 2015 and then this year we use it in free practice -- well, we can use it in qualifying really but we tend now to stop if there is going to be a yellow flag for any length of time.The reason we didnt show a red flag in Hungary was simply that seession had ended but some cars were behind Alonsos car and some in front, so I think the procedure would be to red flag any time there is a double waved yellow flag. http:///...pean-Belgium-Jersey/. . Then there will be no discussion.It just removes the discussion about how much youre slowing down. The stewards accepted Nicos explanation, and looked at the data and felt that he had slowed down. But then the question is did he slow down enough? What is enough?. If you cant set a time, then thats that. It removes all that subjective discussion.Asked if there was a danger a driver might spin on purpose in order to cause a red flag and prevent other drivers going quicker, Whiting said: I think we would be able to see that happening and I dont think that is any different to now because it could happen at any time, couldnt it? If you see what I mean: just a yellow is normally enough to prevent a driver improving but what we saw in Hungary it wasnt quite enough.The new procedure will be in place from this weekends German Grand Prix onwards.
