where she finished runner-up to Biles Antworten

On Sunday, Keeneland Race Course will host two of the remaining Win and Youre In qualifying races for the Breeders Cup World Championships on Nov. 4-5 at Santa Anita Park.The Dixiana Bourbon Stakes drew a full field of 14 2-year-olds and two also-eligibles gunning for a spot in the Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf. On the other hand, the $500,000 Juddmonte Spinster Stakes, a Win and Youre In event for the Longines Breeders Cup Distaff, drew only five entrants, headlined by heavy favorite Im a Chatterbox.Both races will be televised on NBC with live coverage beginning at 5 p.m. ET.Im a Chatterbox (#3) already has a very impressive Grade 1 win this year in the 1-1/4-mile Delaware Handicap, but that was not an automatic qualifier for the Distaff. This appears to be an easy spot for the 4-year-old filly to punch her ticket to Santa Anita, where she will most likely face a much sterner test against the likes of Songbird, Stellar Wind, and Beholder. Regardless, Im a Chatterbox has a clear edge over the other four horses in this field, having already decisively beaten what probably will be the second and third betting choices in the Spinster, Genre (#5) and Paid Up Subscriber (#1).Both of those fillies have shown flashes of talent and have recent stakes wins on their résumés. Between the two, I give Paid Up Subscriber a slight edge in class as she picked up a sharp win on June 18 in the Grade 2 Fleur de Lis Handicap at Churchill Downs going 1 1/8 miles -- the same distance as the Spinster -- and then hung with Im a Chatterbox for most of the Delaware Handicap before finishing second by 2-1/4 lengths.Genre was defeated by Im a Chatterbox by 8-1/2 lengths on June 11 at Delaware Park and comes into the Spinster off a career-best effort when winning a stakes race at Thistledown in Ohio. The top Equibase Speed Figures for Paid Up Subscriber (107) and Genre (108) approach Im a Chatterboxs best figure of 110, but Im a Chatterbox is much more consistent.I am limiting my bankroll to $15 in this race as the payoffs for all wagers are very likely to be modest, unless Im a Chatterbox doesnt finish in the top three. As to how the race will be run, I envision jockey Florent Geroux either putting Im a Chatterbox on the lead or tracking just behind Genre, whose jockey, Javier Castellano, is very skilled at winning races on the front end. I think Im a Chatterboxs class will win out early in the stretch and she will pull clear of Genre, while Paid Up Subscriber makes a late run to finish second. Of the other two contenders, longshots Miss Pink Diva (#2) and Engaginglee (#4), the latter has some closing ability and posted a career-best effort in her last race, the Locust Grove Handicap at Churchill Downs. She could get into the exacta picture, but only if Genre and Paid Up Subscriber fail to fire.Wagering Strategy A on a $15 budget$15 exacta: 3 with 1Wagering Strategy B on a $15 budget$12 exacta: 3 with 1 $3 exacta: 3 with 4For more stories like this check out Americas Best Racing.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Gabby Douglas tried to block out the criticism when national team coordinator Martha Karolyi named the reigning Olympic champion to the 2016 gymnastics team last month despite a so-so performance at trials.Emphasis on tried.Yes, Douglas wasnt crisp on beam either night in San Jose. Yes, there were a handful of other athletes Karolyi could have chosen instead with minimal effect on the Americans chances of steamrolling their way to gold in Rio. And yes, Douglas understands everything she does now will be compared to that euphoric summer four years ago when she rapidly morphed from prodigy to superstar.Yet Karolyi chose her anyway, confident there was nothing wrong with Douglas that a little quality time at the Karolyi Ranch in the southeast Texas woods couldnt fix. The second-guessing on social media came anyway. Douglas heard it loud and clear.I mean everyone makes mistakes and after trials it was hard because there was a lot of negativity, but whatever, Douglas said Thursday after finishing a solid round of podium training inside the Olympic Arena. I feel like shutting it all the way (down) and I have to prove myself.Funny, but the poised and professional gymnast that always seems to turn it on when it is absolutely necessary was back just three days before team qualifying.There was Douglas working the beam Thursday evening without so much as a wobble. There was Douglas gliding over the uneven bars. Its a testament to how much Douglas has improved over the last month -- much of that time spent under Karolyis close, personal supervision -- that shes assured of a spot in the all-around with three-time world champion Simone Biles while Aly Raisman and Laurie Hernandez are fighting for the third all-around spot even though both finished well ahead of Douglas at trials.Thats how quickly Douglas seems to respond when shes able to retreat into the sanctity of the ranch.She kind of has us in a little bubble, Douglas said. Its great we all get to go down there and she whips us into shape.Its exactly what Karolyi had in mind when she selected Douglas over alternates MyKayla Skinner, Ashton Locklear and Ragan Smith and 2015 world championship team member Maggie Nichols.It would be a stretch to caall Karolyi sentimental, but shes uniquely attuned to what makes Douglas work.dddddddddddd It happened last fall when Douglas struggled in training ahead of the world championships before coming alive once the team got to Britain, where she finished runner-up to Biles in the all-around and qualified for the bars final. Karolyi believes it can happen again.I know Gabby for many years, Karolyi said. Like I said, shes peaking a little bit later and she definitely needs organized and structured training system installed before competitions and she reacts well to that. She responds very, very well. I feel that she is ready to compete.Nowhere is her renewed confidence more visible than on beam. After hopping off once during both nights at trials -- mistakes that overshadowed largely clean routines elsewhere -- Douglas attacked it during training in the green-splashed arena. Podium training is basically a dress rehearsal, a chance for the gymnasts to get a feel for the equipment, the lighting and the energy. No wonder she looked so at home. Shes been here before.Its not really feeling any different (than in London), Douglas said. Weve done so many routines were kind of like on autopilot right now. Its go, go, go, go.Its a sense of urgency that Douglas has long thrived on. A pep talk with Christian Gallardo -- who took over as her full-time coach between U.S. Championships and Olympic Trials -- helped, too.The biggest thing we talk about is going out and doing her gymnastics, Gallardo said. Her gymnastics are beautiful, consistent, clean. She doesnt have to worry about anything other than going out and being Gabby Douglas.When she steps into the arena on Sunday, shell be the first reigning Olympic champion to return to the ensuing games since Nadia Comaneci in 1980. Its heady territory and despite her occasionally uneven route back to this point, Douglas is trying to enjoy it. That doesnt mean its easy. The crown shes worn for four years has proven heavy at times.Im not going to go out here and listen to any negative thing, she said. Just shine bright and do what Im capable of doing. ' ' '
