SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. -- Mind Your Biscuits proved hes more than just a very good New York-bred 3-year-old when he stepped up to graded stakes company for the first time on Saturday at Saratoga to win the Grade 2 Amsterdam under a rail-skimming ride by Joel Rosario.Mind Your Biscuitss victory gave his 22-year-old trainer, Robert Falcone Jr., the first graded stakes win of his career.Falcones decision to put blinkers on Mind Your Biscuits for his last start has seemingly made a huge difference. A son of Posse, Mind Your Biscuits rallied to a convincing 9-1/4-length allowance win against statebreds with the equipment change in his last start at Belmont Park, and he ran back to that effort in the 6-1/2-furlong Amsterdam.Maniacal, as expected, controlled the early pace while stalked from the outset by Its All Relevant and King Kranz through splits of 22.36 and 45.41 seconds for the opening quarter-mile and half-mile. Mind Your Biscuits trailed the field during the early running and even had to steady briefly to avoid Quijote after the latter stumbled badly, nearly unseating his jockey, Jose Ortiz, and quickly retreated through the field on the turn.Mind Your Biscuits saved ground into the stretch, began to accelerate once settling for the drive, finding ample room inside the leader to assume command near the sixteenth pole before edging away to a 1-3/4- length victory. Maniacal, the 2-1 favorite in a field of seven 3-year-olds, shook off his early pursuers while taken off the rail for the stretch run and proved no match for the winner. Its All Relevant weakened gradually to finish third.Quijote stumbled badly after appearing to clip heels with King Kranz when attempting to split the leaders with his bid on the turn.Mind Your Biscuits completed the distance in 1:15.25 and paid $8.30.I got a little worried when that other horse [Quijote] checked in front of him, but he got through it all, said Falcone. To win [my first graded stakes] on a day like this is just great.Falcone said the addition of blinkers has made a big difference in Mind Your Biscuitss recent improvement.Blinkers on was really like putting the finishing touches on him. They really helped him turn the corner, said Falcone. Hes always had a race horse attitude and hes matured a lot since coming into my barn. Getting Joel to ride him has also helped. Hes a great rider. He does a lot right. Wholesale NBA Jerseys Authentic . 4 Villanova with a 96-68 drubbing on Monday. Wragge hit 9-of-14 from behind the arc, matching Kyle Korvers school record for 3-pointers in a game set in 2003, as Creighton (16-3, 6-1 Big East broke a conference record with 21 treys in the rout.

Radwanska, making her debut in the Seoul tournament, hit eight aces in a match that lasted 1 hour, 4 minutes at Olympic Park tennis stadium. "It was definitely a very good match -- I was playing really good tennis," Radwanska said. Wholesale Basketball Jerseys . To the surprise of many, it isnt the Wolverines but their in-state rivals the Michigan State Spartans. Discount NBA Jerseys . Once again, DeLaet finished tied for second at a PGA Tour stop on the weekend, this time at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. The pride of Weyburn, Sask. Its a new start for the Old Firm.One of the most iconic fixtures in world football returns on Saturday when Rangers and Celtic, bitter rivals from the Scottish city of Glasgow, meet for the first time in the countrys top league in four years.And it is putting Scottish football back on the map.The two foes, who have a combined 101 top-flight league titles, were temporarily separated when Rangers was demoted to the bottom tier of the Scottish game in 2012 for financial mismanagement. Celtic fans greeted the implosion of their neighbors with derision, with one banner at Celtic Park reading: Youll Not Be Missed.Theres unlikely to be a soccer-loving Glasgow household that isnt tinged with excitement at the renewal of the Celtic-Rangers rivalry. The clubs will also be delighted, too -- Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell has said Rangers demotion has cost his club 10 million pounds ($13.3 million) a year in revenue.As Rangers scrambled back up the four-division league pyramid, the teams have met twice over the last four years in cup competitions, with each earning one win on neutral territory. Saturday ushers in the start of a new era of the Old Firm in the Scottish Premiership.The significance to the city must never be forgotten for both sets of fans, Rangers manager Mark Warburton said. Fans around the world look at this fixture.Expect passion, a hostile atmosphere and plenty of full-blooded tackles inside Celtic Park. And, invariably, fan clashes and violence in and outside the stadium.Matches between the two sides run deeper than football because of the volatile mix of religion, politics and sporting history. Rangers has a traditionally Protestant fan base, while Celtics supporters are more likely to be Roman Catholics -- and it can be a recipe for trouble.There were even calls for the Old Firm fixture to be scrapped after an infamous match in 2011, when three players were sent off, the two managers squuared up to each other at the final whistle and 187 fans were detained by police on the day of the game.ddddddddddddBoth clubs are calling for calm and composure, but the presence of two tenacious midfielders -- one Scottish and the other English -- going head to head raises the possibility of another heated match five years later.In Celtics Scott Brown and Rangers Joey Barton, both teams have hotheads who never take a backward step. Barton, who has nine red cards in his career, arrived from Englands Burnley in the offseason and immediately began taunting Brown.People keep talking about Joey Barton versus Scott Brown, Barton said. Hes not even in my league. Hes nowhere near the level of player I am. He cant get near me.For Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers, it will be a first experience of a fixture many say is unlike any other. As a former manager of Liverpool and Swansea, he has sampled derby matches in Merseyside and South Wales and expects the Old Firm derby to be unique.I dont think anything will prepare you from watching on the television to actually being there, Rodgers said. And this time being the first time in the number of years there has been a Celtic-Rangers game at Celtic Park, then of course that is going to add that little bit of spice to it.Another reminder of the old days is the teams position in the standings. They are the top two in the early days of the season, with Celtic ahead by a point.Some Celtic fans like to wind up their Rangers counterparts, suggesting this is a new inter-city rivalry due to the fact that the old Rangers went out of business in 2012 and the current team is the newco Rangers.But when the blue of Rangers and the green-and-white jerseys of Celtic run out to the field on Saturday, all the history of the fixture will come flooding back.
