Multiple Group One winning jockey Damian Browne will ride stakes performer Rudy for the first time with trainer Helen Page electing not to claim on the gelding.Rudy will be having his first start since finishing 10th in the Group Two Brisbane Cup in June when he starts in Saturdays Open Hcp (1350m) at Doomben.The gelding has won only one race in almost two years but as a 103 rating horse has 61.5kg.Page considered using a claiming apprentice on Rudy but in the end decided a better option was a senior jockey of Brownes experience.Browne has been riding regularly for Page and recently won on Powerful Saga for her at Doomben.They havent missed Rudy at the weights but it is no use whingeing. I could have claimed but Damian is one of the best jockeys in Australia so why not go with him, Page said.She said Rudy had been tuned up for Saturdays assignment with a good second in a trial at the Gold Coast last month.The trial was won by Fiery Heights who is a quick 1000 metre horse and Rudy finished off nicely, she said.Rudy is a noted fresh horse although his best strike rate is second-up.Storms have again been forecast for Brisbane which will suit Rudy who has won four times on heavy tracks.Rudy won the 2014 Group Two Villiers Stakes at Randwick and is being aimed at this years version on December 16.There is a $100,000 bonus if you can win the Villiers and the Bernborough Stakes at Eagle Farm (December 31) so at this stage we are hoping to head that way, Page said.Rudy ran fourth in the 2015 Doncaster Mile and Page has the Sydney autumn in the back of her mind for the gelding although another crack at the Brisbane winter carnival is more likely.We have to get through the summer first. But we decided to miss the spring to concentrate on the summer so lets hope it works, she said.Rudy has been a great money spinner for his breeder, Chinchilla doctor Tom Clarke, and his brothers Don and David.Dru Samia Jersey .

Varlamov made 33 saves and Ryan OReilly had a goal and scored in the shootout as the Avalanche beat the New Jersey Devils 2-1 on Thursday night.EUGENE, Ore. -- Ducks wide receiver Devon Allen announced Wednesday that he will forgo his final year of NCAA football eligibility to focus solely on professional track.Allen had previously announced that he would forgo NCAA track eligibility. He said Wednesday that a return to football isnt out of the question, but he likely wouldnt seriously consider any NFL options until after the 2020 Tokyo Games.?My scenario is to run track for the next couple years and then in 2020 Olympics win a gold medal and have the world record, said Allen, who competed in the 110-meter hurdles at the 2016 Rio Games. And then put that to the side and try to play football. I think thats the ideal scenario.Allen is recovering from a torn left ACL suffered in the Ducks third game this season, a loss to Nebraska. He previously tore his right ACL in Oregons 2014 Rose Bowl win over Florida State.After the first ACLL tear, many assumed Allen would not return to the football field.dddddddddddd He was the reigning 2014 USA Track & Field 110-meter hurdle champion, and the injury put his future track career in jeopardy. But he returned -- after redshirting the 2014-15 NCAA track season and the 2015 football season -- to train for the Olympics.Allen won the United States Olympic Trials last year before finishing fifth in Rio. He said the second ACL tear didnt necessarily push him further toward the idea of focusing on track because it had been in the back of his mind anyway.?Allen plans to stay in Eugene, Oregon, to train with college coach Jamie Cook and to graduate by this summer. He also plans to compete at the USATF Championships on June 22-25 in Sacramento, California. ' ' '
