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. Yeezy 350 v2 Femme Pas Cher . 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.

He said doctors determined that a loose stitch was to blame for the swelling, that Westbrooks lateral meniscus has healed properly and the procedure was successful. Air Max 97 Fausse . - Rookie Tesho Akindele scored three goals and Fabian Castillo added two in FC Dallas 5-0 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night. http://www.pascherbasketnike.fr/france-air-max-270-solde.html . This week, topics cover the Blue Jays rotation, the futures John Gibbons and Alex Anthopoulos, protecting pitchers and a bonus question on his predictions for the MLB playoffs.KAPALUA, Hawaii - The opening tee shot for the first PGA Tour event of the year provides a splendid reminder of the perks for winning.Few players can appreciate it like Geoff Ogilvy.He was the two-time defending champion at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions in 2011 and quickly was becoming a regular as he piled up seven wins over a six-year period, including a U.S. Open and a pair of World Golf Championships. But coming out of the water on a quiet beach below Kapalua, Ogilvy sliced open the side of his right index finger on a sharp piece of coral and had to withdraw.Four years later, he finally made it back.It didnt cause the stress, but it was the beginning of it, Ogilvy said of a drought that dramatically changed his status.He had spent nearly five years in the top 50 in the world, reaching a career-best No. 3, and plunged to as low as No. 216 last year until his fortunes changed.I was still playing well, but it was the start of a downward spiral a little bit, he said.All it took was one week in August and 27 holes in September for him to realize what he had been missing.Ogilvy won the Reno-Tahoe Open. Then, his run in the FedEx Cup playoffs appeared to be over until he started making every putt he looked at over the final 27 holes at the TPC Boston. A 65-65 finish put him in a tie for second, and it was barely enough for the 34-year-old Australian to get to the Tour Championship.He figured he would start 2015 with a normal card that would keep him out of the big events. Just like that, he was back in Hawaii to start his season with the other PGA Tour winners, and he could count on playing the four majors for the first time since 2012.Atlanta is the best reward for a good year — Augusta and the majors, he said. But this is a very close second. This is a better tournament to play in than Atlanta from an enjoyment factor of the tournament. It doesnt come with all the sidekicks that top 30 (in the FedEx Cup) does. But its more enjoyable to play in because of where you are.Included in this years lineup is Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C., who won the Sanderson Farms Championship in November and became the first Canadian-born winner on the PGA Tour since Mike Weir in 2007.The 34-man field doesnt include all the winners, and while the absence of four players is glaring, it is a sign of the global times in golf.Rory McIlroy and Martin Kaymer, who combined to win three majors last year, are nott playing. Basket Nike Pas Cher. Both played deep into last season on the European Tour and start up their 2015 campaign halfway around the world in Abu Dhabi. Adam Scott isnt playing anywhere for a few months as his wife is expecting their first child. Justin Rose also is taking the week off. Thats only four absentees, though they happen to occupy the top 12 in the world ranking.That leaves the Tournament of Champions with only two players from the top 10 — Masters champion Bubba Watson and Jason Day.Missing marquee players is nothing new. Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson stopped coming to Hawaii years ago, and this time they didnt have that option because neither of golfs two biggest names won a tournament.That leads to the annual question of what the PGA Tour can do to boost its season opener of the toughest qualifying event on the PGA Tour. There has been rumbling of giving a two-year exemption to Kapalua or inviting all past champions.Ogilvy, thrilled to be back, sees nothing worth fixing.There is nothing broken about this tournament, he said. If youre going to play in January, youre not going to get Kaymer, youre not getting McIlroy because theyre going to Abu Dhabi and the Middle East. You could put it at Shinnecock Hills and theyre not going to go.I think its a great tournament. Youd have to ask Hyundai whether they think theyre getting their moneys worth, but anyone here loves it, dont they?And this year was another example of why it remains elite — maybe not in the world rankings, but in what it takes to get here.Among those who didnt qualify were Rickie Fowler, who had top-five finishes in all the majors; Jordan Spieth, who overwhelmed fields in the Australian Open and the Hero World Challenge, neither of which were part of the PGA Tour; and Jim Furyk, the first player to accumulate $6 million in worldwide earnings without winning.Golf has never been stronger or deeper, and Ogilvy contends the best measure is at the bottom.Ben Hogan would have been pretty hard to beat. Hed have been just as hard to beat as Rory, Ogilvy said. But the 125th guy in Hogans era probably wasnt breaking 80. The 125th guy now is ... harder to beat. The top comes and goes — the legends — but bottom is getting closer to the top, and the gap gets narrower from best to worst. So that must make it harder to win, I guess.Ogilvy did his part. Hes back in Kapalua. Now if he can just stay out of the water. ' ' '
