TORONTO -- Wise Dan lived up to all the hype on Sunday. The reigning U.S. horse of the year emphatically defended his title in the $1-million Ricoh Woodbine Mile, earning a comfortable 3 1/2-length victory for his ninth straight graded stakes win. And just for good measure, the six-year-old gelding posted a course-record time of 1:31.75 on a firm turf at Woodbine Racetrack. "I feel like weve got a great horse," LoPresti said. "What he did today, I mean I say it every time he runs with what he does and how he does things, was really impressive. "I dont know (about Wise Dan being better now than he was last year). I dont know how much better he can get but hes very good. Theres no sign hes slowing down, I can tell you that, for his age. He is a dream come true." Breaking from post four, Wise Dan effortlessly stalked the pace behind early frontrunners Excaper and Dimension. At the head of the stretch, Wise Dan took off like a rocket, easily passing Excaper and Dimension into the lead. And that point, the only question that remained was Wise Dans winning margin. However jockey John Velazquez, who claimed a record fourth Mile crown, said his trip wasnt flawless. "I think I did a little too much with him in the post parade," Velazquez said. "He was kind of quiet and he broke well and I put him right behind the other two horses and he got rank with me. "I thought, Come on buddy, please come off the bridle a little bit. Once he did that, I waited until the 5-16ths pole and let him ease out from those two horses and as soon as he saw the wire he just went on." Wise Dan earned the $600,000 winners share and a berth in the Breeders Cup Mile on Nov. 2 at Santa Anita in Arcadia, Calif. Wise Dan is the defending Breeders Cup Mile champion. It was a record-setting performance for both Wise Dan and his connections. He became the first two-time Mile winner while LoPresti earned his record-tying third straight victory in this event. Za Approval was second with Trade Storm taking third in overcast, breezy conditions. The remainder of the field, in order of finish, included; Riding the River; Dimension; and Excaper. Garrett Gomez, the jockey aboard Za Approval, could only tip his cap to Wise Dan. "He (Za Approval) was just no match for Wise Dan," he said. "Theres no shame in that. "Hes the best turf horse in North America." Trade Storm finished third despite being last with a quarter-mile remaining. "I was further back than I wanted to be," jockey Gary Stevens said. "I kind of lost touch down the back straight with him and I had to just sit where I was once I was there. "Hes only got a furlong in him so I couldnt really kick on any earlier with him than what I did." The win was Wise Dans 10th in 11 career turf races and 18th overall in 25 starts with career earnings surpassing $5 million. Over the last two years, he has won 10-of-11 starts, the lone blemish being a second-place finish by a head to Ron The Greek in the Grade 1 Stephen Foster Handicap in June 2012, a 1 1/8-mile dirt race at Churchill Downs. Wise Dan is undefeated since then but LoPresti doesnt lose sleep worrying about his horses amazing streak. "The most important thing to me at this point is that he runs his race, he comes back good and he can run again in his next race," he said. "Sure, I dont want him to get beat, I wouldve liked to not have got beat in the Stephen Foster, he wouldve had just about a perfect record last year and this year. "But he has been beat before. I dont want him to get beat but Im not going to jump off the building with a rope around my neck if he does." LoPresti will wait to see how Wise Dan recovers from the Mile before deciding whether to run him before the Breeders Cup. Last year, Wise Dan won the $750,000 Shadwell Turf Mile at Keeneland before going to the Breeders Cup and LoPresti wont say if hell follow a similar gameplan. "Even though it looked so easy you never know how much a race like that takes out of a horse because of the strain hes been under," LoPresti said. "But Ill only run him if its right for the horse . . . hes going to have to tell us. "I really dont think Im up against the wall to do anything with him because hes dead fit . . . I think I have him where he needs to be for the Breeders Cup." With three straight Mile victories, Woodbine is fast becoming a favourite track for LoPresti, who says hed like to return in 2014. "I dont have any reason not to come back, (Woodbine) has been good to me three years in a row," he said. "Id sure like to bring (11 Mile champion) Turallure back here and get him back on track. "I want to come back. Maybe Ill get some nice fillies to bring and some other horses besides just this one race." Also on Sunday, French-bred Minakshi, a 7-1 pick with Woodbines Luis Contreras aboard, won the $300,000 Northern Dancer turf event run at about 1 1/8 mile in 1:44.05. Colonial Flag, at 10-1, was second ahead of 16-1 longshot Moment of Majesty. Hall of Fame trainer Roger Attfield had the first two finishers in the $300,000 Canadian Stakes, a 1 1/8-mile turf race for fillies and mares. Forte Dei Marmi, the 4/5 favourite won its third straight stakes race in 2:28.46 by a neck over 16-1 longshot Perfect Timber. Patrick Husbands, a resident of Brampton, Ont., and seven times Canadas top jockey, rode 15-1 longshot Alythiela to victory on Sundays card, his first since a racing mishap in May. Husbands, 39, suffered a fractured tibia at Woodbine when his mount collapsed just after the finish line and he was caught beneath the horse. Custom Cleveland Browns Jerseys .

LOUIS -- The Atlanta Braves used a two-run rally in the ninth to end their road trip with a win. Ryan Doumit scored on a wild pitch and the Braves got two runs in the ninth inning to rally past the St. Louis Cardinals for a 6-5 win. The Braves have been held to two runs or fewer 19 times, but they managed to score twice off St. Louis closer Trevor Rosenthal (0-2) to take the game Sunday. "We got a happy flight," said Atlanta first baseman Freddie Freeman, who reached base four times. "We grinded all day and so did the offensive hitters. We never caved today and we gut one out in the ninth." Freeman started a ninth-inning rally with a leadoff single off St. Louis closer Trevor Rosenthal (0-2). With two outs, Freeman went to third on pinch hitter Ryan Doumits double to right. Rosenthal intentionally walked pinch hitter Evan Gattis to load the bases and then walked Jordan Schafer to force in the tying run. Carlos Martinez relieved Rosenthal and had a wild pitch while facing Ramiro Pena that scored Doumit to make it 6-5. "A battle royal there at the end," Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "We just kept getting good at-bats and its nice to win this one. Maybe it will get us going in the right direction." St. Louis dropped a game it was close to winning. "It would have been a big win, no question," St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said. "Theyre all tough, but to have a lead in the ninth, even a slim one, that a tough one to lose." Dan Carpenter (3-0) pitched 1 1-3 innings of scoreless relief for the win. Craig Kimbrel pitched a scoreless bottom of the ninth for his 11th save in 13 chances. The save was the 150th of Kimbrels career. Cardinals starter Jaime Garcia pitched seven innings in his first outing in more than a year. Garcia, who underwent surgery in May 2013 to repair a torn labrum and rotator cuff in his pitching shoulder, allowed four runs and five hits with five strikeouts.dddddddddddd. The outing was Garcias 100th appearance in the major leagues, but first since May 17, 2013. "I made some good pitches, I made some mistakes," Garcia said. "I had some butterflies going on in the first inning, but nothing different." Kolten Wong drove in three runs with a bases-loaded double in the second inning. Freeman went 3 for 3, including a solo home run in the first and a two-run single in the sixth. Justin Upton homered leading off the fourth for the Braves. The homer was the 10th for Upton, who also doubled and scored two runs. "Its big," Freeman said. "I dont know if you can say a must win, but its definitely nice to get one." The Braves failed twice to close out innings due to defensive miscues with two outs. That allowed the Cardinals to score four runs. With two outs in the seventh and Yadier Molina on first, Jhonny Peralta hit a high fly ball to centre field. Schaefer lost the ball in the sun and it fell just to his right side. Peralta was credited with a double and Molina scored to give the Cardinals a 5-4 lead. In the second inning, Braves starter Gavin Floyd appeared headed for an easy second inning when he struck out Peter Bourjos for what would have been the third out. But the ball got away from catcher Gerald Laird for a passed ball, allowing Bourjos to reach first. A hit by Garcia and a walk to Matt Carpenter loaded the bases and Wong cleared them with a double down the line in left to make it 3-1. Atlanta rallied to tie the game 4-4 on Freemans two-run single with one out in the sixth. NOTES: Molina extended his hitting streak to seven games with a fifth-inning single. ...
