She set moderate splits while being stalked Southern Ring, as River Maid rated kindly in fourth.River Maid ($11.90) went from the No. 2 path to the No. 4 path in the stretch over the outside-favoring surface, and then caught the leaders late to prevail by a neck. Southern Ring nosed out the wide-closing Minks Aprise for second, as Midnight Miley weakened along the rail to finish fourth in the seven-horse field. The final time was a quick 1:21.85.River Maid was stretching out off a third-place finish traveling six furlongs in the Grade 3 Ontario Fashion.Shes a hard-trying mare, said Boulanger, who was celebrating his birthday. She always shows up. She gives you everything she has. Three-quarters might have been a little short for her. Shed worked really well going into this race. She put me in a great position. When she was that close at the five-sixteenths pole, I thought I could have a big piece of it, if not all of it. She really dug in down the lane.River Maid, by the Ontario sire Wheres the Ring, earned $144,000 of the $233,200 purse for The Very Dry Stable and trainer Bob Tiller.Let It Ride Mom takes Glorious SongDaughters of the popular Spendthrift Farm stallion Into Mischief ran one-two in the $126,900 Glorious Song Stakes. Let It Ride Mom ($3.90) held off the charging 21-1 shot Sister Nation in the seven-furlong sprint for 2-year-old fillies, scoring by a half-length, in a time of 1:22.69.Rafael Hernandez rode Let It Ride Mom for Live Oak Plantation and trainer Mark Casse.Everything went good, Hernandez said. Last time, the horse got the lead, and just waited for the horses. This time, I waited more and made a big run. She finished strong today, and won the race.Rod Langway Jersey . -- Peyton Manning will have all of his wide receivers available for the first time in a month when the Denver Broncos begin their playoff run Jan. Dmitry Orlov Capitals Jersey . Houston won 3-0 to advance to face New York in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Last in the game, Di Vaio and Romero got into a shoving match with several Houston players. Romero appeared to elbow and kick Houston defender Kofi Sarkodie. http://www.capitalsteamstoreonline.com/authentic-christian-djoos-capitals-jersey/ . I cant pinpoint a date, but I do remember a player from my youth. Brian Downing was with the Chicago White Sox at a time when I listened to every game I possibly could on the radio. That particular season the late great Harry Caray was calling the White Sox games. Jaromir Jagr Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. Lars Eller Capitals Jersey . -- Mike Smith never saw his first NHL goal go in.ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Andrew Luck isnt the only one who learned his lesson the last time Indianapolis and Denver played.The Broncos did, too.They entered the game with a 7-0 record a week after handing Aaron Rodgers the worst loss of his career, and they followed that by hammering Luck 11 times.Luck played through the pain and led the Colts to a 27-24 win. Afterward, he went to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with a season-ending lacerated kidney and torn abdominal muscle.He is tough, we all know that, said Von Miller, whose 61 career sacks dont include any of Luck. He is going to break a couple of tackles and run through a couple of defenders, and he is going to make some great passes. We all know what type of tough guy he is.Broncos coach Gary Kubiak sure does.Well, thats Andrew. I know him well from being in Houston there for years and watching him grow up. Heck, I watched him in high school and thats what he stands for, Kubiak said. He plays the game hard and he is going to be there all four quarters, and thats something were preaching to our guys this week.While Luck missed the final two months of the season, the Broncos recovered and went on to win Super Bowl 50 thanks to Millers two sack-strips of Cam Newton that led to 15 points in Denvers 24-10 win.In the offseason, Miller signed a six-year, $114.5 million contract that included $70 million in guarantees, both records for a nonquarterback. The only player with a bigger guarantee is Luck, who signed a six-year, $140 million contract two weeks before Miller that included $87 million in assurances.Luck is more cognizant now of protecting both his body and team owner Jim Irsays investment.As a quarterback you have an obligation to be on the field, Luck said. That involves taking care of your body. Situationally, there are times when I need to slide or throw the ball away and Ive been working on that. Youre going to go out there and take a hit if the games on the line or in (certain) other situations.But I think in every year Im trying to approach the game in a better, more efficient way. So, I guess this is somewhat of a natural progression, as well..ddddddddddddThe Broncos (1-0) hammered Newton 17 times in their Super Bowl sequel last week, although it took Graham Ganos missed 50-yard field goal in the closing seconds for them to walk away a 21-20 winner. Two of the hits, by linebacker Brandon Marshall and safety Darian Stewart, drew fines from the NFL .The Broncos insist they wont change their style in light of the consequences or criticism.No, thats part of the game, Miller said. When you step outside the boundaries you get fined. We did that a couple of times. Its kind of hard to differentiate whats right and whats wrong (during play), and everybody is moving around. Afterward, you get fined for the wrong plays and you just try to make it right and just try to keep playing.Usually, the cumulative effect of Denvers hard hits show on the QBs face and body language by the fourth quarter.With a quarterback like Andrew Luck, it really doesnt because after every hit he is shaking guys hands and congratulating them, Miller said. They should, but not going up against No. 12.Miller hasnt been able to sack Luck in three regular-season meetings and one playoff game. He said their O-line is stout, tackles Joe Reitz and Anthony Castonzo are solid, and their scheme is sound.Its just tough to get to Andrew Luck, Miller said, and when you get to him its tough to bring him down with the ball.Game notesWR Demaryius Thomas (sore left hip) looked smoother at Fridays practice than he did all week. DE Derek Wolfe (neck) returned to practice. ...
