Two-time Horse of the Year Curlin and jockey Alex Solis lead the class of 2014 inducted Friday into the National Museum of Racings Hall of Fame. Cristian Ansaldi Argentina Jersey . Joining Curlin and Solis as inductees are former champion thoroughbreds Ashado and Clifford, jockey Lloyd Hughes, trainer Gary Jones and Pillars of the Turf E. R. Bradley and E. P. Taylor. Curlin was Horse of the Year for 2007 and 2008. He won the 2007 Preakness Stakes and Breeders Cup Classic. He claimed the 2008 Dubai World Cup as well as repeating in winning that years Jockey Club Gold Cup. I think how he responded to difficult situations is what separated him from anything Ive ever been associated with, said Curlins trainer Steve Asmussen. For him to get done what he did in the year (2007) that he did, against a very fast group of horses that put up tremendous numbers; to have only started your career in February, run in all three Triple Crown races and then beat older horses with everybody still being around in the Classic at the end of the year, you just dont do it. Not only did he do that, but he goes to Dubai the following year, wins the World Cup and then was one of the few horses to come back and still maintain a Grade 1 level. He built on what he did instead of chipping away at what he did. Curlin retired as North Americas all-time leading earner with $10,501,800 and 11 wins from 16 starts. Ashado was the 2004 champion 3-year-old filly and 2005 champion older female. In 2004 the filly won both the Kentucky Oaks and Breeders Cup Distaff. Ashado, owned in partnership by Starlight Stables, Paul Saylor and Johns Martin, won 12 of 21 career starts for $3,931,440. Its quite an accomplishment for any horse or person to make it to that level, so were proud of her for being able to do that, said her trainer Todd Pletcher. Solis, who still rides, won the 1986 Preakness aboard Snow Chief. In 2003 he rode Pleasantly Perfect to a win in the Breeders Cup Classic and the following year rode the horse in claiming the Dubai World Cup. Coming into 2014, Solis recorded 4,938 victories for $231 million. Jones retired in 1996 with 1,465 victories and $52,672,611. He was a fixture on the Southern California circuit with training championships at Del Mar, Hollywood Park, and Santa Anita. I was flabbergasted when they told me, said Jones. I had been passed over a few times already, and I had decided I probably wouldnt be making it. Its a special fraternity; not easy to get into. I idolize some of those guys: Charlie (Whittingham), Bobby Frankel, Billy Mott, Shug McGaughey and, of course, Buster (Millerick). I wasnt sure I was ever going to make it, but it was well worth the wait. The Historic Review Committee of the National Museum of Racing chose 19th century jockey Hughes and racehorse Clifford to be inducted. Edward R. Bradley and Edward P. Taylor make up the second group of inductees from the Pillars of the Turf category. Pillars of the Turf recognizes people who have played important parts in the sport of thoroughbred racing. Nicolas Otamendi Argentina Jersey . Yup, he definitely needed this one. Craig homered twice and had three RBIs Wednesday night to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 7-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Craig went 4 for 5 and Yadier Molina added three hits for the Cardinals, who salvaged the final game of a three-game set in hopes of staying within shouting distance of front-running Milwaukee in the NL Central. Cristian Pavon Argentina Jersey . MacIntyre stopped 49 shots and the Marlies defeated the Texas Stars 5-1 in Game 1 of the American Hockey Leagues Western Conference final.

LOUIS -- St.GREEN BAY, Wis. - Mike McCarthy didnt want to think or talk about his accomplishments or his potential legacy as the Green Bay Packers coach Monday.He wanted to change the subject to Sunday nights game against Chicago.So shortly after the team announced that hed signed a multiyear contract extension, McCarthy lasted all of six questions before he tried steering the discussion in another direction.Can we talk about the Bears now? McCarthy said, referring to the Packers upcoming game Sunday night against their NFC North rivals.But more questions followed about McCarthys place in one of the NFLs most-storied franchises.It made sense considering hes five victories behind Vince Lombardi in Packers history. With a 93-53-1 record including the playoffs, McCarthy ranks third in team history behind Curly Lambeau (212) and Lombardi (98).Im not going to compare myself to Coach Lombardi. Lets be real here, McCarthy said. I understand my place, my opportunity and Im very thankful for the people that came before me.In McCarthys nine seasons as coach, the Packers have made six playoff appearances, won four division titles, appeared in two NFC championship games and won a Super Bowl.The Packers did not release specifics of McCarthys deal.General manager Ted Thompson signed an extension in July that reportedly runs through the 2019 draft.We are very happy to extend our relationship with Mike, Thompson said in a statement. Over the past nine years, hes provided great stability and consistency to the Packers organization and our community as an excellent coach and leader. Hes a good man and we look forward to the future with Mike as our head coach.A Pittsburgh native, the 50-year-old McCarthy was the Packers quarterbacks coach in 1999 before spending five seasons as the New Orleans Saints offensive co-ordinator (2000-04) and one year as the offensive co-ordinator of the San Francisco 49ers (2005) before being hired to replace Mike Sherman as Packers coach in January 2006.McCarthy began his NFL coaching career with the Kansas City Chiefs in 1993.Coming off a bye, the Packers enter their Sunday nighht game against the Bears at Lambeau Field with a 5-3 record following a 1-2 start. Ever Banega Argentina Jersey. Only the Packers and the New England Patriots have made the post-season each of the past five seasons.The Packers have won three straight NFC North titles under McCarthy and won at least 10 games in five of his nine seasons.McCarthy, who had previously signed extensions after the 2007 and 2010 seasons, said he was happy with the new deal but admitted that the timing — even though it occurred during the teams bye week — was slightly awkward for him because it happened during the season.This is a great place. Im very blessed, very fortunate to have the opportunity to coach here, McCarthy said. This is something that the organization wanted. I was thrilled about the opportunity to continue, (and) all Im really thinking about is moving forward.Frankly, Im a little uncomfortable talking about it this time of the year. This is something we havent done in-season in the past. Were thrilled as a family to be here, and were focused on the Bears.NOTES: McCarthy said quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who left the teams Oct. 26 loss at New Orleans with a hamstring injury, did everything during the teams modified Monday practice and looked good. ... Right guard T.J. Lang (ankle) did injury rehabilitation work during practice, McCarthy said. Cornerback Sam Shields (knee) looked good and did everything at practice while safety Morgan Burnett (calf) pretty much did everything, McCarthy said. ... The Packers released often-injured 2011 first-round pick Derek Sherrod Monday to make room on the 53-man roster for centre JC Tretter, who was activated from the injured reserve/designated for return list. Sherrod, who broke his leg in a December 2011 game that required emergency surgery and sidelined him for most of the next two seasons, had been the teams No. 3 offensive tackle behind starters David Bakhtiari and Bryan Bulaga. Sherrod played 20 games with one start — earlier this season in place of an injured Bulaga — in four seasons.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap NFL Black Jerseys Wholesale Black NFL Jerseys Wholesale NFL Gear Wholesale Stitched Jerseys Wholesale NFL Womens Jerseys Cheap NFL Black Jerseys Jerseys NFL China ' ' '
