The $300,000 Zenyatta Stakes, named after the 2016 Hall of Fame inductee who won her first 19 races, features a rematch of the Grade 1 Clement L. Hirsch Stakes in which champion Stellar Wind edged three-time champ Beholder.On paper, the top two from the Clement Hirsch look like the best two horses in the five-horse field ... and not by a little bit.So, devising a betting strategy for this race really comes down to whether you think Stellar Wind (#5) has improved enough as a 4-year-old that she is now the better racehorse, or you believe Beholder (#2) was not at her best in the Hirsch and will gain a measure of revenge on Saturday in the Zenyatta Stakes.As much as I respect Stellar Wind, I fall into the second category. Hall of Fame trainer Richard Mandella is a master at preparing racehorses for a target. He was always pointing toward the TVG Pacific Classic with Beholder and a shot at a repeat win in Del Mars signature race. For that reason, I dont think he had Beholder fully cranked up for the Hirsch, preferring to have her run her best race in the Pacific Classic.Beholder finished second to California Chrome in the Pacific Classic, beaten by five lengths, but posted her best Equibase Speed Figure and Beyer Speed Figure in that race since she won it a year before by 8 ? lengths. With six weeks rest between the Pacific Classic and the Zenyatta, I expect shell still be on top of her game and be extraordinarily tough to beat.Stellar Wind has not raced since the Hirsch, but throughout her career shes been especially effective when given plenty of rest between races. I expect her to run well, too, but it just feels like Beholder at her best deserves the edge in this race.I feel pretty confident that Beholder and Stellar Wind will finish first and second in some order, so thats how Id suggest betting the race. Use Beholder over Stellar Wind in a straight exacta (by all means, flip the runners if you prefer Stellar Wind), and try to pick which of the three remaining runners has the best shot for third. For me, thats the key to betting the race.Of the remaining three entrants, Vale Dori (#3) offers the most upside, but Taras Tango (#4) offers the most consistency. Im going to take a shot on Vale Dori for third because she has a little more early speed on a track that plays well for horses with a bit of zip, and the race is only 1-1/16 miles.Betting Strategies on a $20 BudgetStrategy A $20 exacta -- Beholder over Stellar Wind ($20)Strategy B $20 trifecta -- Beholder over Stellar Wind over Vale Dori ($20)For more stories like this check out Americas Best Racing.

What general manager Dave Nonis called "short and productive" negotiations ended with Kessel signing a US$64-million, eight-year contract on Tuesday. Kim Rhode sees the news on television or social media. Another mass shooting, in Aurora, San Bernardino, Newtown, Orlando, Dallas, Baton Rouge.For the two-time Olympic gold medalist shotgun shooter, what comes next has become routine.I just wait for my phone to ring, Rhode said. I know the questions are coming.Shooting is one of the most divisive sports in the Olympic program.Guns, always a hot-button issue, have been thrust even further to the forefront of public debate with the spate of mass killings in recent years.Sport shooters are staunch supporters of the Second Amendment, given their chosen event. Because they are public figures, more so during Olympic years, they have become targets for anti-gun groups.Mass shootings exacerbate the rift over gun control and often put Olympic shooters in the crosshairs of hate.Its unfortunate that we get lumped in with that, said Rhode, who is vying to become the first American athlete to win medals in a sixth straight Games at next months Rio Olympics. There has to be some kind of reality.When Rhode won her second career gold, in skeet at the 2012 London Games, one of the first questions she was asked by media was about the theater shooting at Aurora, Colorado, which occurred a few days earlier and left 12 dead.Sometimes it goes beyond inquiries.Several shooters have received death threats, requiring extra security in London.Trap shooter Corey Cogdell-Unrein needed extra protection after someone posted hunting videos on her Facebook page without her knowledge.A two-time Olympian, she grew up in Alaska, where the family hunted for its food, and still hunts. Despite saying she didnt agree with the content of the videos, Cogdell-Unrein received numerous death threats before the Olympics.After the London Games, where she won bronze, thousands of people signed a petition to strip her of the medal.Unfortunately, there were people who decided to hone in on me as a public figure at the time and they wanted to push their agenda of trying to stop animal cruelty and hunting, said Cogdell-Unrein, who is headed to Rio. Hopefully that will not happen again. If it does, I will be better prepared for it this time.dddddddddddd I definitely dont support animal cruelty and a lot of the things they were saying I was a part of.As gun laws become stricter, the ability to obtain guns and ammunition could become much tougher for Olympic shooters.In California, where Rhode lives, Gov. Jerry Brown recently signed a law requiring background checks for anyone purchasing ammunition, among other restrictions. Rhode burns through up to 1,000 shotgun shells a day in training and is concerned how the new laws will affect her ability to properly prepare.Im not sure how thats going to work out, how thats going to affect me, what thats going to entail, she said. It could make things much more difficult for me to train.Travel is another issue for Olympic shooters.Shooters and their liaisons must keep up on gun laws, not only for each of the 50 states, but any country they may travel to or through for competitions. For air gun shooters, that sometimes means sending their air canisters to their destination ahead of time.Even knowing the regulations doesnt always make things go smoothly.Rhode once had a flight from San Marino delayed for hours after a competition because security officials were concerned she had multiple shotguns and ammunition in her luggage.Jay Shi, an air gun and pistol shooter headed to his first Olympics, had to wait nearly four hours to get cleared into China for a competition as security hand counted every bullet. The process was repeated when he left.Shi had to stand by another time as a security person took out his pistol to examine it because of the strange-looking handle used on competition guns.The rule is not to touch the gun, but they took it out and were looking at it, Shi said. I was freaking because now theyre waving a gun all around.The issues Olympic shooters face wont subside anytime soon.The debate over gun control is a divisive chasm that seems to grow deeper with each mass shooting.Athletes who use guns for their sport will likely always be part of that debate -- whether they want to be or not. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
