NEW YORK -- Sue Bird is thrilled for a chance to show off Seattle.The Emerald City will host the WNBA All-Star Game next year for the first time, the league announced Wednesday.Im really excited as a player whos been here her whole career, Bird said in a phone interview with The Associated Press. Really excited for the fans and for the city. This is a franchise thats seen it all: No. 1 picks, championships, missed playoff runs, disappointing playoff runs. Its time to see an All-Star Game.The game will take place on July 22.Historically, the All-Star Game has highlighted the absolute best in our world-class players -- from Lisa Leslies dunk, to Shoni Schimmels otherworldly performance as a rookie, to the record-setting scoring efforts of Candace Parker in 2013 and Maya Moore in 2015 -- and this time should only bring more excitement and moments for all to enjoy, WNBA president Lisa Borders said.The league didnt have an All-Star Game last season because of the Olympics. The midseason showcase has been held out west only twice, both times in Phoenix, most recently in 2014.The 2015 All-Star Game was held in Connecticut. The West beat the East 117-112 as Maya Moore of the Minnesota Lynx scored a game-record 30 points.I think Seattle is a sports town, Bird said. Yes, we could talk about womens basketball with the Pac-12 tournament and what the Storm has done. It extends to all sports. This is a city that loves sports and deserving of the All-Star Game.While the league didnt say whether there would be additions like a 3-point shootout or other events, Bird was in favor of adding more to the weekend than just the game.I would love for the 3-point contest to come back, the veteran guard said.The WNBA will begin its 21st season on May 13 with three games.---Follow Doug on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/dougfeinberg Nike Air Max 98 Dames Sale .

From cradle to a stakes race, Jason Attard has been with Reiby The Red for every step of the horses life.The young trainer delivered Reiby The Red at owners Sid and Carolyn Kellys Reibycroft Stud at Freemans Reach on Sydneys north-western outskirts, where Attard trains a string of horses.Attard and Reiby The Red can repay the Kellys faith with a win in Saturdays Listed ATC Cup (2000m) at Rosehill.All the Reiby horses are quite special to me, Attard told AAP.I probably wouldnt even be training racehorses if it wasnt for the Kellys so to get a stakes win for them would be very good.Reiby Regina gave him his first city success when she won a midweek race at Canterbury almost four years ago.Its the same story, Attard said.I delivered her when she was born, had her all the way through and broke her in myself and Ive had him pretty much since the first day.Attard believes everything is going in the right direction for Reiby The Red to deliver another milestone win for the Kellys.The five-year-old was dominant in winning by almost five lengths over 1600m at Warwick Farm on November 16 after placings in the first three runs of his preparation.ddddddddddddWhile midweek to Listed grade is a significant jump, Attard has had a long-held ambition to get Reiby The Red racing in stronger company.I always thought he was going to be a 2000-metre plus type of horse but he was racing so well over the mile, Attard said.Were going to try him over the 2000 metres again and just see how it pans out.Reiby The Red drops 6kg from his last start with Kathy OHara taking the ride.A good showing in the ATC Cup is likely to prompt Attard to send the horse back to 1600m to tackle the Group Two Villiers Stakes at Randwick on December 17.Even if he does go close to winning at the 2000 metres it wouldnt hurt dropping back to the mile, Attard said.Obviously its been done quite a bit before with success.Meanwhile stable star Sons Of John and talented mare Kellyville Flyer, both owned by John Kelly, are enjoying a break in the paddock.Its a different Kelly gang, Attard said.Theyre not even closely related but theyre all great supporters.
