Kilmah moved a step closer to potential outing at Royal Ascot with a debut victory in the Chemtest EBF Novice Fillies Stakes at Newmarket. With trainer Mark Johnston operating at around 25 per cent with his current two-year-old crop, the 14-1 shot helped maintain that healthy strike-rate in the six-furlong event with a two-length success over last-time-out winner Seafront.Charlie Johnston, assistant to his father, said: She is a good looking filly and had been working well at home. She had been working with another filly that had won at Ripon on Friday, so we knew she was straight enough to do herself justice. She is a powerful beast.She just got a bit unbalanced into the dip, but as soon as she hit the rising ground away she went.She has definitely thrown her hat into the ring for Royal Ascot. If you win a Newmarket maiden at this time of year it is obviously on the horizon.Although Worlds Greatest (16-1) is unlikely to live up to her name she demonstrated what she is capable of when pitched in at the right level in the Streets Chartered Accountants Handicap, forming the first leg of a double for trainer Stuart Williams.Purchased out of the yard of Saeed bin Suroor for 13,000 guineas at the sales last summer, the three-year-old doubled her tally of victories since her move across Newmarket, taking the mile event by a neck to add to her win at Lingfield in January.Williams said: She won for us in the winter on the same day Realize won at Lingfield.This was her first run on turf for us and we had one run well enough last night so that encouraged us. Its always great to have a winner here.Upavon (100-30) completed Williams brace with a two-and-a-half-length victory under Milly Naseb in the Directa Hands And Heels Apprentice Series Handicap.Daphne (9-4) ended a quiet couple of weeks for trainer William Haggas after carrying the colours of the Queen to glory in the newmarketracecourses.co.uk Maiden Fillies Stakes.Despite holding entries in both the Investec Oaks and the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot the Newmarket handler is to take it a step a time following her short-head success in the mile-and-a-half affair.Haggas said: Its nice to have a winner, as its been tough. I am delighted that she has won and I think she will get better as the season goes on.Its hard to say if she will go for the Ribblesdale at this stage. I would say she might prefer slightly slower ground.It proved to be a day of firsts at the track as Exceeding Power gave trainer Martin Bosley his inaugural winner at the course in the Building Services Design Handicap.Partnered by promising 7lb claimer George Wood the 17-2 chance gained a first victory on turf when defeating Rouge Nuage by a length.Bosley said: I saw him (George Wood) ride a winner here for James Fanshawe at the Guineas meeting and I thought he looks a good kid.We were pretty fit and he was so well handicapped from the all-weather. It was a super ride by George. He rode him like I instructed, by keeping him in mid-division and not hitting the front too soon.Josephine Gordon moved another step closer to having her claim reduced from five to three pounds after gifting Ivan Furtado his first winner at the course when galvanising Arrowzone (7-1) to glory in the Leonard Oram Retirement Handicap.And the Ed Vaughan-trained Interconnection (7-1) appeared to appreciate the switch to a faster surface when running out a three-quarters of a length winner of the Edmondson Hall Solicitors & Sports Lawyers Handicap.

Bryant, who signed a five-year, $34 million contract as a free agent with Cleveland in March, reported symptoms on Monday morning, a team spokesman said. ST. PAUL, Minn. -- She should have been happy, but thats not the way newly named WNBA Coach of the Year Cheryl Reeve operates. Scanning a stat sheet on the way to the postgame news conference Friday, Reeve appeared puzzled, as if the numbers didnt add up. But she couldnt figure out why.In a physical, long, brutal game that featured 54 fouls and 68 free throws, Reeves Lynx outlasted the Mercury 96-86 to take a 2-0 lead in their best-of-five semifinal. The series shifts to Phoenix for Game 3 on Sunday (ESPN, 5 p.m. ET), a contest the Mercury seem ill-equipped to win after again failing to make defensive stops at critical junctures.Yet it was Reeve who criticized her own teams defense, glossing over the 20 turnovers forced and 19 points generated off them. Two years ago, the Mercury blew the Lynx off the floor in the decisive Game 3 of the semifinals, denying the Lynx a shot at becoming the first team to win back-to-back titles since Los Angeles in 2001-02. That remains the only milestone to elude the Lynx in this run of three championships in five years.So Reeve knows what awaits if Minnesota isnt careful. Reeve had already left the Xcel Energy Center floor when Sylvia Fowles, in a postgame interview piped throughout the arena, told the sellout crowd of 11,923, Thats what home-court advantage is about. See you in the next round.Fowles presumed a series-closing victory in Phoenix, which hosts Game 3 and, if necessary, Game 4. Reeve wasnt presuming anything. Phoenix shot 45 percent from the field after making 53.5 percent in Game 1, and that wasnt anywhere close to acceptable for Reeve.I have to watch the video to really understand what happened, in terms of the things we werent able to get done, and the ease of which they scored -- again, she said. To have a chance to win on the road, we have to find a way to be, not just a little bit better, but considerably better.I dont have the mindset of going out there and winning one of two. Our mindset is to win Game 3.Friday, the Lynx muddled through a game of whistle attrition. Four fouls were called in the first two minutes, two on Phoenixs Brittney Griner. Maya Moore pumped in 14 of her 26 points in the first quarter as the Lynx jumped to a 35-24 lead. As in Game 1, Phoenix never regained the lead after falling behind in the first half, coming no closer than six points.Tonight it was about not bringing the appropriate effort and intensity right from the start to let them score 35 points, Mercury coach Sandy Brondello said. That was the ballgame. The last three quarters I think we competed and we showed we can play with them, but you cant play with the Lynx for 30 minutes. Theyre too good of a team.With the Lynx rolling, the fouls piling up and Phoenix gooing more than five minutes without a basket, Brondello gambled by putting Griner back in with 3:23 left in the quarter.dddddddddddd Griner picked up her third foul defending a Moore drive in the quarters final minute. She didnt return until the second half, when she picked up a fourth foul quickly.Griner finished with no baskets, two points, and two rebounds in 18:19. This after she grabbed only two rebounds in Game 1, a total she called ridiculous and unacceptable in a playoff game.She never really got back into the game, Brondello said. She shouldnt put her head down, because she got us this far.Fowles, named the WNBAs Defensive Player of the Year earlier in the day, attacked the basket with Griner on the bench but soon committed her third foul. So did backup forward Natasha Howard.With backup center Janel McCarville unavailable because of back spasms, the rugged work fell to veteran power forward Rebekkah Brunson, who responded with her 12th career playoff double-double (13 points and 11 rebounds) in 35 minutes. Fowles nearly had a double-double herself (14 points, 9 rebounds) in only 23 minutes.I dont think I did anything exceptional, Brunson said. I dont think I did more than I do usually.Reeve disagreed.Its a tough time for your post players to be sitting next to you for so many minutes, she said. We needed every bit of Rebekkah Brunson tonight. For Natasha and Syl, anything Rebekkah wants for the next couple of days, those two need to do for her.Reeve describes herself as a worrier, and that was apparent looking ahead to Game 3. She knows Phoenix owns the leagues second-best home record since 2014 (40-11, just behind Minnesotas 44-8).She expects greatness from Diana Taurasi, who scored 12 of her 31 points in the fourth quarter. She cant presume Phoenix will shoot 2-for-12 from beyond the arc again, as it did Friday. Moore didnt score in the fourth quarter Friday, and Reeve said the former league MVP needs to be better.I hope were really smart and kind of adjust and be way more disciplined in our efforts on the defensive end, Reeve said. Offense is not going to be easy. So the mindset is, if we dont score, they dont score.Brunson conceded her coach had a point.I think we know how we want to play defensively, and I dont think weve quite gotten that done, she said.Give Phoenix a lot of credit. Theyre a great team and theyre really testing us. There are some things we can do a little bit better, some things we can fine-tune just to keep this thing rolling. We know what it is, and were going do whatever we can to get back to playing the way we want to play defense. ' ' '
