ETOBICOKE, Ontario -- Puntrooskie ($18.10) wore down the imposing 4-5 favorite, Noholdingback Bear, in the stretch to take the Grade 3 Bold Venture at Woodbine on Saturday.Puntrooskie benefited from an outside-stalking trip behind the dueling leaders Noholdingback Bear and Choctaw Chuck in the 6-1/2-furlong sprint. He made a bid to the lead on the turn, and then got the better of Noholdingback Bear in the final furlong to prevail by a half-length in a time of 1:16.06. Calgary Cat wound up third in the six-horse field.Patrick Husbands rode Puntrooskie for trainer Don MacRae, who claimed the In Summation gelding for $40,000 on May 27, after which he won an optional claimer before the Bold Venture.I rode him with a lot of confidence, Husbands said. He ran against the best sprinters on the grounds. I had a lot of horse. I tried to ride [Noholdingback Bear] as tight as possible, to not let him get away down the lane. My horse turned out to be the best horse today.Puntrooskie collected $90,000 of the $150,600 purse for the partnership of Michael Lay, Mike Loughry, and D Mac Racing Stable.

There are some early surprises in the race for the Hart Trophy, but two of the contenders are the leagues biggest stars over the past decade. There are many more players in contention for the awards than just the three that Ive named, and a good or bad week can easily alter the landscape, but through the first 20 or so games of the NHL season, this is how the awards races look to me.

"It was definitely a very good match -- I was playing really good tennis," Radwanska said. Elijah Lee Jersey . -- Eastern Kentucky thrives off creating havoc for others. The last thing the Philadelphia 76ers need less than a week before the season begins is more bad news on the injury front.Thats exactly what they got on Friday, when Nerlens Noel elected to have arthroscopic surgery on his left knee and coach Brett Brown acknowledged that he may have been overly optimistic about the timeline for Ben Simmons highly anticipated debut.Noel has been experiencing soreness and, after consulting with several specialists, elected to have inflamed plica removed from his knee, the Sixers announced. There was no timetable for his return, but general recovery periods range from three to five weeks, meaning Noel will miss the season opener at home against Oklahoma City on Wednesday.As worrisome, Brown said before the Sixers played in Miami on Friday night that he jumped the gun on his initial estimate of a January return for Simmons, the No. 1 overall pick who had surgery on his right foot in early October.I was just getting excited about how soon he might be able to come back, Brown told reporters in Miami before the game. There are so much speculations and dates as a coach, you sort of want to hear what you want to hear at a time. I did mention a January hopeful return. That is premature.The Sixers also announced that point guard Jerryd Bayless, who signed a three-year, $27 million contract this summer, will not have surgery to address ligament issues in his left wrist that have kept him out of the entire preseason. His rehab will continue for another two weeks before he is evaluated again.---WIZARDS 119, RAPTORS 82WASHINGTON -- John Wall had 15 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds as the Washington cruised past Toronto.Wall hit 3 of 4 3-point attempts and Washington shot 58 percent for the game.DeMar DeRozan scored 34 points on 11-for-24 shooting for the Raptors.RAPTORS: Toronto shot 35 percent for the game and just 20 percent (4 for 20) from 3. ...
