Rather than ease Keith Drydens workload, the veteran trainer says he is working harder than ever since going into partnership with Scott Collings.Since teaming up at the start of the season, Dryden and Collings have trained 14 winners and will chase their first Sydney victory with Beau Tirage in Wednesdays Pro-Ride Handicap (1000m) at Warwick Farm.Its going really well. I think were doing more now than we ever did, Dryden said.He comes up with ideas, Ive got ideas. It works in pretty easily like that.The only hard and fast rule is Dryden chooses jockeys for horses trained out of Canberra where he is based and Collings picks riders for horses trained at Goulburn.The pair will both be at Warwick Farm to help handle lively sprinter Beau Tirage.Hes a bit of handful, Dryden said.For some reason or another his first run hes fresh and hes a pretty strong big boy.Despite his good first-up record of two wins from three starts, Dryden is not expecting too much from Beau Tirage after almost six months away from racing.Im happy with the horse hes going nicely, but hell probably benefit from the run, Dryden said.Theres nothing like a bit of match conditioning.With apprentice jockey Andrew Adkins two-kilogram claim, Beau Tirage gets in with 57kg.Dryden believes it is a harsh weight for a horse with three country wins to his name from 12 starts.I cant start him in the bush and in Sydney Im racing against the better horses and meeting them at their terms, Dryden said.Im no fan of the benchmark system.Beau Tirage was bought as a weanling by Jamie Middleton of Redbank North Stud.He races him in partnership with Mike and Bev Abbott and Drydens former vet Kim Jacobs.Mike Abbotts wife is in a wheelchair and she just loves this horse, Dryden said.I take him to the metropolitan meetings as often as I can and then if theyve got to make a trip they do but I try to bring him down to them if I can.Beau Tirage is the $7 second favourite behind the Peter and Paul Snowden-trained Dongxing Princess who is at $5.

The 29-year-old Baines has established himself as one of the top attacking full backs in the country and was the subject of two bids from United during the last off-season. Everton manager Roberto Martinez says that keeping Baines at the club is a "massive boost and exciting for the future" because he brings "maturity and football knowledge in a very specialized position on the pitch" and an "infectious and positive influence to the rest of the squad.

Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki will miss at least a week because of lingering soreness in the 38-year-olds right Achilles tendon.Hes going to be out for a while, coach Rick Carlisle said during his news conference Friday night after the Mavs fell to 0-5 for the first time in franchise history with a 105-95 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. Well update you guys in about seven days. Hes not going to play at least until then.Nowitzki, the sixth-leading scorer in NBA history, did not play in the second half of Fridays loss because of the soreness, which has been an issue since late in the preseason. He had five points on 2-of-6 shooting in 16 minutes during the first half.It gets better on days off, and as soon as I go out there and try to push off, try to show on pick-and-rolls, run backwards, all that stuff is just uncomfortable and sore, Nowitzki told reporters. So just thought Id just shut it down. I mean, it makes no sense to keep dragging this for weeks, you know? Obviously, it hasnt really gotten better, so were going to take a few days off and not get on the court, not do all the stuff that makes it sore. And hopefully, Ill be better in a couple days and we can ramp it back up.But for now, thats where were at. It just hasnt gotten to the point where I can move well, where I can move pain-free, so it just doesnt make any sense to be out there.Nowitzki, a 13-time All-Star who remains the Mavs franchise player in his 19th NBA season, has led Dallas to the playoffs in 15 of the past 16 seasons. The lone exception waas the 2012-13 season, when Nowitzki missed the first two months after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery.ddddddddddddIts bad news, but well get through it, Carlisle said in his news conference. Weve gone some periods like this before, but his health is the most important thing. Hes more than willing to continue playing, but its pretty obvious that things arent right, so weve got to do the right thing here and back him off.Nowitzki missed the Mavs second and third games of the season because of an illness and said upon his return that he hoped the Achilles issue had subsided. However, it flared up again after he played 29 minutes in Wednesdays loss to the Utah Jazz.It felt better after a couple days of not doing anything, but as soon as I got back out there with the cutting, with the showing, with the quick changing of direction, it went right back to the same old [pain], Nowitzki said. Im already obviously not moving great at 38 as it is, and to be out there on one leg is really not helping myself. Its not helping the team at all.I dont think its anything major. Its just that the Achilles is inflamed. Weve been trying a bunch of stuff. Ive been getting treatment for hours every day. My guy from Germany is even here. Hes been treating me every day for over two hours and Ive been on the meds, and nothing really has made it better to the point where I can move out there without it bothering me. ' ' '
