Trainer Shug McGaughey has asked On Leave to do a bit more in each of her four starts this season, and at Belmont Park on Saturday she once again showed she was up to the task, scoring a relatively easy 2-3/4-length victory in the Grade 2, $500,000 Sands Point.A daughter of War Front owned and bred by Stuart Janney III, On Leave is undefeated this year after failing to win in two tries at 2. She began her 3-year-old campaign with a maiden win at Belmont in June, took an allowance at the tail end of that meet, and then won the $100,000 Riskaverse at Saratoga. All of those wins came on turf at distances ranging from a mile to 1-1/16 miles.In the Sands Point, McGaughey asked On Leave to go nine furlongs against a tougher caliber of competition.A lot of the War Fronts are better milers, but she handled it fine, McGaughey said. I wouldnt want to run her any farther than that this year, but maybe next year well try and get her stretched out.Jose Ortiz let On Leave roll to the lead in the paceless six-horse field of 3-year-old fillies, and then deftly slowed down the tempo while keeping On Leave clear of Elyseas World, who settled into a stalking position.Following a quarter-mile in 24.94 seconds and a half-mile in 49.86, On Leave began to pick up the pace, getting her next quarter in 23.94 seconds en route to a six-furlong clocking of 1:13.80. On Leave continued to pick up speed, getting a mile in 1:36.28 after a 22.48 quarter, and then cruised home in 11.54 seconds to stop the timer in 1:47.82.There wasnt a lot of speed in the race, and we really never put her on the lead before, but the circumstances made us, Ortiz said. She had a clean break and I put her there. She relaxed well and when I asked her from the quarter pole going to the three-sixteenths she really gave me a good kick.On Leave paid $3.50 to win as a lopsided favorite. McGaughey said he would consider the Grade 1, $500,000 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup, a 1-1/8-mile turf race for 3-year-old fillies at Keeneland on Oct. 15, for On Leaves next start.Well let her tell us, McGaughey said.Diamond Fields finished second after racing in third early, several lengths behind On Leave and Elyseas World. Diamond Fields saved ground to the stretch, rallied willingly in upper stretch, but then flattened out late and ultimately held the place by a neck over Tin Type Gal. It was another head back to French shipper La Jazi, who raced at the back of the pace early. Elyseas World tired to finish last, a length behind Galileos Song. Erik Karlsson Sharks Jersey . Walcott is available for Saturdays home match against Southampton as Arsenal looks to extend its two-point lead at the top of the Premier League. The Gunners are currently the second highest scorers in the league but Wenger insists Walcott will add something extra to his team. Tim Heed Sharks Jersey . They reached the 100-point plateau for the fourth time in five games, bested the visiting Trail Blazers by 34 in the paint and scored 19 of the final 25 points in regulation. http://www.officialsharksnhlshop.com/brenden-dillon-jersey/ . -- Ohio States Urban Meyer has never had any issue acclimating to the biggest stages in college football. Marcus Sorensen Jersey . Vettel was 0.168 seconds faster than Red Bull teammate Mark Webber around the Suzuka circuit. Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg was two tenths of a second off Vettel. "The car balance is decent, but I think we can still improve," Vettel said. Marcus Sorensen Sharks Jersey . The next step is a better finish. Bae played bogey-free Friday on another gorgeous day at Riviera for a 5-under 66, giving him a one-shot lead over Aaron Baddeley and Robert Garrigus going into the weekend. BEREA, Ohio -- Humbled, grateful and determined to make up for lost time and to those who stood by him, Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon stood on an NFL practice field and finally felt peace.Surrounded by teammates eager to start a new season, Gordon was home.This is where he belongs.Recently reinstated by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell following a lengthy drug suspension, Gordon said hes been changed by his experience over the past two years. Hes grown up, learned from his mistakes and is ready to be productive again.I definitely think Im a different person, he said. If you havent changed over a period of time, its definitely a bad thing. I think me standing here is a testament to that.Gordon, who has been suspended for 27 of Clevelands 32 games over the past two seasons and suspended four times in his pro career, believes he can now stay on a straight path. The 25-year-old would not confirm if hes been in rehab, but Gordon acknowledged taking the necessary steps to get his life in order.During his 12-minute interview with media members, Gordon offered no excuses and didnt make any promises. He acknowledged prior mistakes and admitted to not listening to others.In the past Ive been a selfish player, Ill definitely admit that, he said. I wanted to do things my way. As a young man thats just kind of how you see it, you dont really want to make time to do other things. But things turn around, people change, its possible to change. It takes people some learning, but eventually you get to that point and I think I have.The Browns are counting on it, and they intend to hold Gordon accountable for his actions.After Goodell cleared his return, Gordon met with Cleveland coach Hue Jackson and vice president of football operations Sashi Brown, who laid out their expectations for the former Pro Bowler.As he did during a meeting earlier this month with Goodell in New York, Gordon made a strong impression on the Browns, who are convinced hes ready to turn his life around.For us its about Josh wanting to make a change, and having the opportunity, Brown said. Weve got 90 guys on the roster right now and hes one of those young men that has an opportunity. Well find out very quickly if hes serious about it. We believe that he is. Well hold him accountable. Hes going have to hold himself accountable.Frankly, lets be honest, theres nothing were going to be able to do to force Josh to change. The change is going to be within and we will support him through that.Jackson said Gordons future rests in his own hands.We understand that the league has expectations for himm, and we do, too, Jackson said.dddddddddddd We shared those with him, and I truly believe that he wants to make it right, as well. His slates clean with me. I dont have a lot of history with Josh that way, but his history is preceding him. He knows that. I think the only way to deal with a player in these situations is to kind of hit the restart button for him and he has to go do it.On the eve of what they hope will be an uneventful training camp, the Browns also addressed the controversy involving running back Isaiah Crowell.Crowell has been heavily and criticized since posting a gruesome illustration on social media of a police officer being stabbed following the shootings of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota. He issued two apologies, one on video, and Crowell recently attended the funeral of one of the five policemen killed during an ambush at a protest in Dallas.Also, Crowell pledged to donate his first game check next season (about $35,000) to the Dallas Fallen Officer Foundation.The Browns have been satisfied with Crowells actions and feel his remorse is genuine.I truly believe he will continue to work at making this right, Jackson said. Its going to be an opportunity for us to really teach our team. Its unfortunate its that kind of lesson to learn, but sometimes thats what it is. But moreso than that, I truly believe its not who Isaiah Crowell is and I hope everybody just gives him an opportunity to prove that as we move forward.Crowell again expressed regret for my mistake.Its my fault, he said. I man up and apologize to everyone. Im sorry to my fans and the whole Browns organization. Ill do my best to show everyone thats not who I am.Game notes Jackson plans to name his starting quarterback for the season before the Aug. 12 exhibition opener against Green Bay. Robert Griffin III is expected to win the job over veteran Josh McCown. RG3 is trying to revive his career, which nose-dived in Washington after a spectacular start. ... DE Desmond Bryant, who underwent surgery after tearing his pectoral muscle working out, was officially placed on the reserve/non-football injury list and will miss the entire season. Bryant led the Browns in sacks last season. ... The Browns unveiled a $15 million renovation to their facility, doubling the size or their training room and adding a 5,000-square foot natatorium, which includes a two-lane, 25-yard lap pool.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
