Chris Wallers first trip to Perth six years ago dented his confidence that he could plunder a West Australian Group One race.But any doubt is now a distant memory as the champion trainer prepares to chase three successive years of elite level victories at Ascot with Good Project and Mackintosh in Saturdays Railway Stakes.Wallers first foray west was in 2010 with Triple Honour, the first of his now 65 Group One winners.Triple Honour beat one runner home in the Railway before finishing sixth in the Group One Kingston Town Classic and fourth in the Group Two C B Cox Stakes.It didnt give me a lot of confidence, Waller said.While it took four years for Waller to return, Moriarty proved to the triainer he could successfully pull off a Perth heist with an unlucky third in the Railway and victory in the Kingston Town.When you get success it makes it easier to go back, Waller said.Thats why you see Golden Slippers, Melbourne Cups targeted by the same trainers every year because they have confidence in doing it.Going to Perth is no different.He believes defending Railway winner Good Project is again the right horse to take west this year.Good Project ran seventh in the Group One Cantala Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on October 29, with the horse blocked for clear running on the home turn.Hes where he needs to be and Group One form where he was unlucky is as good as form youll get going to Perth, Waller said.Mackintosh was fifth in the Cantala.Waller conceded Mackintosh was soft in the last 100m but attributed that to the horse being posted three wide during the race.The winner Le Romain came off his back through having cover, Waller said.I think if he had Le Romains run, he would have been closer to the finish.Stablemate Vanbrugh is likely to join Mackintosh in the Kingston Town (1800m) on December 3, with their trainer certain of only one crucial aspect of a successful western raid.Ive worked out youve got to take a pretty good horse to be able to win, Waller said.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Take a glance at the Olympic roster for the United States womens field hockey team, and youll notice a recurring theme -- 12 of the 25 players on the undefeated squad are from Pennsylvania.The states success in the sport goes back decades. Beth Anders, the leading overall womens scorer at the 1984 Olympics, is from Norristown. Ten of the 16 players on that bronze-medal winning team were from Pennsylvania.The Americans now seek their first medal since that run in Los Angeles. They play Britain on Saturday to determine which team will win Pool B. After that, theyll play in the quarterfinals.If the United States returns to the podium, the Keystone State will have played a major role. The top American standouts at this years games -- forward Katie Bam (Blue Bell) and goalie Jackie Briggs (Robesonia) -- are from there.To a large degree, its self-fulfilling, USA field hockey executive director Simon Hoskins said. The elite players become elite coaches in that area, and they help develop the next generation of athletes. Its been a virtuous cycle of ever-improving hockey, and now were at this level that -- we can compete with anyone. Were world-beaters right now, which is great to see.Other players on the roster from Pennsylvania are Ali Campbell (Gilbertsville), Lauren Crandall (Doylestown), Katelyn Falgowski (Landenberg), Kelsey Kolojejchick (Larksville), Alyssa Manley (Lititz), sisters Julia and Katie Reinprecht (Perkasie), Paige Selenski (Shavertown), Kathleen Sharkey (Moosic) and Jill Witmer (Lancaster). All are from the eastern third of the state.Pennsylvanias success prompted the national program to move its headquarters to Lancaster in 2013. U.S. coach Craig Parnham said the training site was moveed from Chula Vista, California, so the players could train together and build camaraderie while being close to family and friends.dddddddddddd The facility, about a 90-minute drive from Philadelphia, is appropriately named the Home of Hockey.Pennsylvania has the infrastructure to help young players develop -- Bam said she had a stick in her hands when she was 3 and began playing at 7. The Pennsylvania group grew up in the culture, which has only become stronger as it has blossomed together.I think the competition when youre growing up breeds it, Falgowski said. I think always playing at a high level against good competition -- a lot of us grew up playing against each other. I think 10, 20 years of doing that together really raises the bar, and the competitive spirit within us really wants to challenge each other and play as best we can.Pennsylvania is so heavily represented at the games, in part, because the sport hasnt caught on to the same degree beyond the east coast.That could change in the future. Hoskins said USA Field Hockey has grown from a 15,000-member organization to 25,000 in the past five years, with most of the growth in places such as Chicago, St. Louis and Houston and parts of California and Colorado.Our mission is to serve our members, grow the game and compete internationally, he said. By succeeding internationally, by performing in the Olympic Games, by exposing our beautiful sport to more people across America, we would love it to grow, and make it a great way to inspire young female and male athletes to play our game.---Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter (at)CliffBruntAP ' ' '
