As Rudy returns to the race where he made his name, a second Villiers Stakes win would also take Helen Page level with John Hawkes as the most successful current trainer in the race.While the legendary TJ Smiths benchmark of seven Villiers wins appears insurmountable, the Gold Coast-based Page can join Hawkes with three wins, the most of any active trainer.Rudy will arrive in Sydney in the early hours of Friday aiming to repeat his 2014 win in Saturdays Group Two race at Randwick over 1600m.Page also won the Villiers in 1989 with Spot The Rock when her stables were at Warwick Farm.Hes been very successful at a mile and hes won this race before, Page said.Ive targeted it this year.Rudy didnt contest last years Villiers after three unsuccessful starts during Melbourne spring carnival.But Page has re-focused on Sydneys summer showpiece, priming Rudy for the race with two hit-outs in Brisbane.He finished fifth in an open handicap over 1350m on the Sunshine Coast on November 16 and fourth in the Listed Recognition Stakes (1400m) at Eagle Farm on November 26, carrying big weights both times.Im pleased he didnt get any more weight by running places, Page said.Hes run a couple of nice races coming into it and hes doing very well.Randwick was in the soft range on Thursday with up to 15mm of rain forecast for Sydney on Friday and showers expected on race day.The track was soft when Rudy scored a narrow win two years ago and he has an imposing record in heavy going with four wins and a second from six starts.He loves the wet but he likes it any way so hes a handy horse to have, Page said.Rudy is a $21 chance to win his second Villiers, the same price as Malice who would also put trainer John OShea on level terms with Hawkes.Fabrizio has been the dominant favourite since markets opened and is at $3.20 to win the race for trainers Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott.The Ciaron Maher-trained Hazzabeel is at $8 after a narrow defeat in the Group Three Festival Stakes at Rosehill on December 3.There isnt just the carrot of an automatic entry into the Doncaster Mile up for grabs with Rudy likely to be one of the horses attempting to collect the $100,000 bonus for winning the Villiers and the Bernborough Handicap in Brisbane on New Years Eve.Nike VAPORMAX Black+Cherry .

PETERSBURG, Fla.LINCOLN, Neb. -- It could be a battle of backup quarterbacks when No. 19 Nebraska hosts Maryland on Saturday.Tommy Armstrong Jr., the Cornhuskers four-year starter, didnt practice this week because of a left hamstring injury and might not play on his senior day. The Terrapins Perry Hills has been day-to-day with a left shoulder injury.If Armstrong cant go, fifth-year senior Ryker Fyfe would make his second career start. If Hills is out, the Terps starter would be Tyrrell Pigrome or Caleb Rowe.Coach Mike Riley said it could be a game-time decision for Armstrong, with consideration given to how Armstrong feels and whether there would a risk of aggravating the injury.The hamstring is a mystery, Riley said. You really dont know until you really go, and then you could make it worse. So we dont want to do that. We want to be pretty sure.Pigrome, a freshman, played the second half of last weeks 62-3 loss to Ohio State. He has appeared in nine games, starting against Minnesota on Oct. 15. Rowe, a senior, started four games last season and has appeared in all 10 games this season.Hills, who hurt his right shoulder in the third game, has been forced out of three games because of injury. Coach DJ Durkin, whose Terps (5-5, 2-5 Big Ten) need one win to be bowl-eligible , brushed off the suggestion that he could sit Hills and have him ready for a more winnable game next week at home against Rutgers.Its all a bunch of one-game seasons, Durkin said. Well determine what gives us the best chance to win on Saturday. If that means Perry is in the lineup, thats what were going to do. If its not, thats what were going to do. Thats solely based on what his health is.Nebraska (8-2, 5-2) is still alive in the Big Ten West , needing to win out and have Wisconsin lose once. Riley said Fyfe, who has played sparingly this season, looked good as he prepared for his possible start against the Terps.I was real excited and it kind of culminated in a real nice Thursday, which I consider a dress rehearsal day, Riley said. I thought he did a nice job, threw nice sharp balls, appeared very confident. The kids respond well to Ryker. Hes been around a long time and its not uncomfortable for them.ddddddddddddSome things to know as Maryland and Nebraska meet for the first time:SENIOR SWAN SONGNebraska will honor 30 seniors before the game, including punter Sam Foltz, who was killed in a car accident in July. Riley has often credited the senior class for its leadership after he took over last year. I wish I had more time with them, he said, because itll have gone too fast. Riley said a portion of the ceremony will be dedicated to Foltz.BACK TO BASICSLosses in five of the last six games -- and getting outscored 121-6 by Michigan and Ohio State the last two weeks -- prompted Durkin to run practices similar to the ones in fall camp. The Terps opened the season 4-0.Technique and effort. Its how we made great strides as a team, he said. We havent done that for the past couple of weeks... Its like were back in training camp. Teaching the guys how to play the position and how to play hard and do all the little things that make a difference.GAME BREAKERMaryland running back Ty Johnson has broken a Big Ten-best seven plays of at least 40 yards or longer in the Terps seven Big Ten games. Six of them have been runs. He could see an increased workload because of the indefinite suspension of Lorenzo Harrison.POUND THE GROUNDNebraska is 8-0 under Riley when rushing for at least 200 yards. The Huskers havent hit that mark since Oct. 1 against Illinois, but they have a good chance to do it against a Maryland team that has allowed an average of 291 yards on the ground against three ranked opponents.HOME COOKINNebraska is looking to finish 7-0 at home, which would be a notable achievement to Riley. There are lots of reasons here at Nebraska, such as the great fan base. Theyre such a part of the family. Its fun to play here, fun to win here, fun to see them enjoy the games. There is a lot of pride in that.---AP Sports Writer David Ginsburg in College Park, Maryland, contributed to this report.---More AP college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
