SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. -- Trainer Jimmy Jerkens didnt want to run Shaman Ghost in Saturdays Grade 1 Woodward at Saratoga. Owner Frank Stronach didnt like the alternative.So, Jerkens followed his owners lead and then took a page out of his late fathers playbook as Shaman Ghost upset heavily favored Frosted in the $600,000 Woodward at Saratoga.Shaman Ghost, under Javier Castellano, split horses in deep stretch and outlasted Mubtaahij to the wire to win the Woodward by a head. It was another head back to Frosted, the 2-5 favorite, who had to come eight wide in the stretch.Frosted got third by a head over Breaking Lucky, who was 7-1/4 lengths clear of Tapin Mojo. He was followed, in order, by Catholic Cowboy, Tale of Verve, Bradester, and Samraat.In 1973, Jimmys father, the Hall of Fame trainer Allen Jerkens, won the Woodward -- then held at Belmont Park -- with Prove Out, beating Triple Crown winner Secretariat, the 2-5 favorite.I grew up watching my dad run in all these races when I was a little kid and how important it was - the Brooklyn, the Suburban, the Woodward - because we were New York people and [in] New York racing all our lives, Jerkens said. Its what we want.Shaman Ghost won the Brooklyn by 4-1/4 lengths on June 11 but ran fifth in the Grade 2 Suburban. He came out of the race with a cough and his subsequent training was interrupted by inclement weather. Thus, Jerkens initially wanted to wait until next Saturdays $100,000 Seattle Slew Stakes at Belmont Park to use as a prep for the Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont on Oct. 8.Jerkens said Stronach wasnt crazy about the idea.The Woodward meant taking on Frosted, who was coming off dynamic victories in both the Metropolitan Handicap in June and the Whitney in August.Jerkens hoped that those two races may have taken a toll on Frosted.His last two races were through the roof. They just dont duplicate it all the time, Jerkens said. I was kind of surprised he ran in here.Frosted had shown speed winning the Whitney in front-running fashion. Saturday, he broke awkwardly under Joel Rosario and brushed the side of the gate. He was sixth early as Bradester went to the lead under Joe Bravo and set modest fractions of 24.38 seconds for the quarter-mile, 48.43 for the half, and 1:11.97 for six furlongs while being kept in the No. 3 path. He was being chased by Breaking Lucky and Samraat.Shaman Ghost was a relatively close-up fourth, while Frosted raced in sixth position about six lengths off the pace.Entering the far turn, Shaman Ghost, Samraat, and Frosted launched their bids. But with Bradester in the No. 4 path and Breaking Lucky off his flank in the No. 5 path, Shaman Ghost, Samraat, and Frosted had to come six, seven, and eight wide.Meanwhile, Mubtaahij, who raced in seventh under Irad Ortiz Jr., was able to save some ground around the turn and entering the stretch. He made a bid for the lead at the eighth pole inside of Shaman Ghost, who was splitting horses, Breaking Lucky, who was persevering, and Frosted, who was still under a hand ride.Little separated that quartet from the sixteenth pole to the wire, but Shaman Ghost was able get up over Mubtaahij, Frosted, and Breaking Lucky.I almost decided to go around the horses but when I see Frosted he went out wide, I thought the only chance I could beat him was cut the corner, split horses, and go from there, Castellano said.Shaman Ghost, last years Queens Plate winner and a son of Ghostzapper, covered the 1 1/8 miles in 1:48.92 and returned $20 to win.Rosario never went to the whip on Frosted, but he explained that in previous rides on the horse he didnt respond well to being hit.Every time I rode him, when you hit him with the whip he dont like that too much, Rosario said. When Im turning for home I thought we were going to be home free and at the eighth pole I thought we were okay. Just the last 20 yards he hung a little today.Kiaran McLaughlin, the trainer of Frosted, said the trip probably cost his horse.I thought we were going to get there, but the horse was very wide and the fractions werent very fast, McLaughlin said. He just didnt have his A game today.McLaughlin said it was too early to say what the future holds for Frosted, who has already secured fees-paid berths into the Breeders Cup Classic at 1-1/4 miles and the Breeders Cup Dirt Mile. Frosted is winless in three tries at 1-1/4 miles.McLaughlin is also the trainer of Mubtaahij, who despite breaking from the outside post had a good trip in comparison to his rivals, but couldnt match strides with Shaman Ghost late.Mubtaahij ran great, post position hurt him, McLaughlin said.It is likely that Shaman Ghost and Mubtaahij will meet again in the Jockey Club Gold Cup.

PHILADELPHIA -- The offensive line couldnt block, Sam Bradford couldnt protect the football and the defense couldnt bail them out.A sloppy, mistake-prone offense and a special teams breakdown left the Minnesota Vikings unbeaten no more and had coach Mike Zimmer fuming despite his teams 5-1 record.Embarrassing is the word, at least in two of the three phases, Zimmer said after the Eagles beat the Vikings 21-10 Sunday. Im very disappointed.Zimmer was especially critical of his offensive line, which is missing starters Matt Kalil and Andre Smith. Jake Long made his Vikings debut, rotating with T.J. Clemmings and Jeremiah Sirles.We didnt block anybody. They were soft. They were overpowered, Zimmer said. The safety beat the tackle one time and beat the back a couple times. It was basically man-on-man and we got whipped.Bradford had no chance against a fierce pass rush. Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz used the blitz far more than usual against Bradford and it worked. The result was 19 hits on Bradford, six sacks, two recovered fumbles and one interception.They were playing aggressively. They were blitzing a lot. I would, too, Zimmer said. We didnt pick up anybody, so they might as well.Schwartz changed up his game plan because Bradford is familiar with his defense. He faced it every day for a couple of months before he was traded to Minnesota eight days before the season opener.We know that Sam struggles in trapped coverage so we wanted to run it a few times, said safety Rodney McLeod, who had one pick, one sack and one forced fumble.Bradford, who was 7-7 for Chip Kelly in his only season in Philadelphia, heard boos when he ran onto the field and never appeared comfortable. He overthrew a few receivers, made poor decisions and seemed more concerned wiith avoiding the rush than keeping his eyes on downfield targets.dddddddddddde finished 24 of 41 for 224 yards and threw a touchdown in the final minute.The way we played was unacceptable, Bradford said. We did a lot of things that we didnt do the first five weeks. The things we did will prevent you from winning football games. We have to find a way to not turn the ball over. There were too many self-inflicted wounds. We got to fix that and come out better next week.The Vikings hadnt turned the ball over on offense in 310 snaps before a strange sequence in the first quarter where the teams traded giveaways on five straight series.They couldnt take advantage after Andrew Sendejo intercepted Carson Wentzs pass and returned it 16 yards to the Eagles 2. On third down, Bradford tossed his first pick . Minnesotas next offensive play started at the Eagles 17 after a fumble recovery, but Connor Barwin stripped Bradford on first down and Malcolm Jenkins recovered.Down 18-3, the Vikings couldnt even get a yard on third and fourth down from the Eagles 6 early in the fourth quarter.We felt like everyone was dead out there, receiver Cordarrelle Patterson said. We couldnt get anything going. We felt like we had momentum coming in. We were 5-0 and probably had a little bit of a big head, but things happen.The turning point came early when the Vikings allowed Josh Huff to return a kickoff 98 yards for a score.If youre going to do all those things, you have no chance to win, Zimmer said, running down a list of mistakes.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP-RobMaaddi Jerseys NFL China Cheap Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap China Womens NFL Jerseys Jerseys NFL China Discount NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Womens Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Throwback Cheap NFL Jerseys China Discount NFL Jerseys Youth NFL Jerseys Cheap Cheap Jerseys Throwback Cheap NFL Jerseys China Youth NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale Jerseys 2018 ' ' '
