Rebel Dane is breathing a lot easier these days and so is his trainer.Gary Portelli credits a successful throat operation and a change in his training methods with getting the horse back to Group One winning form which he hopes he can transfer to the big stage in Hong Kong.Rebel Danes win in the Manikato Stakes earned him an invitation to the International Sprint at Sha Tin on December 11.The seven-year-old will tune up for the trip with a barrier trial at Rosehill on Tuesday which will be held on the course proper as a mark of respect for Australias lone representative at this years showcase meeting in Hong Kong.Rebel Dane took three years from his first Group One win in the Rupert Clarke Stakes to win his second with many near misses in between.He can breathe normally now and he turns up on race day, Portelli said.And Ive got no doubt the way we are training him has helped. He has gone over a few jumps and weve been taking him to the beach and the change of scenery has sharpened him up.At the moment he is the best Ive had him this deep into a preparation.Hes vibrant and happy and has four sound joints which is always a plus.Portelli has no concerns about how Rebel Dane will handle the trip to Hong Kong on December 4, a week before the big race.Hes done many trips to Melbourne and Brisbane on a float so I think a plane to Hong Kong will be much easier, he said.There are no traffic lights or turns. It will be a breeze.A seven-year-old, Rebel Dane has earned more than $2.4 million but attempts to find a suitable home at stud have so far come to nothing.And if a stud cant be found, Portelli is more than happy to keep him in his Warwick Farm stable.Hes part of the furniture and I hate to think about the day he retires, he said.Id be happy to keep training him for another year.A field of six will take part in Tuesdays 1000m barrier trial.

Through the first two weeks of the NFL season, Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman hasnt shadowed the opposing teams top receiver. That has sparked plenty of debate about the best way to?cover the NFLs elite?pass-catchers, as Antonio Brown and Dez Bryant both?made big plays when Norman didnt shadow their every move.I want to be clear: Shadowing an opponents top wide receiver isnt always the answer to building a smart defensive game plan. With Norman and the Redskins changing their philosophy versus?Odell Beckham Jr. this weekend, lets first look at what not to do when defending a teams No. 1 receiver, before digging into three coverages that defenses should use more.Avoid static single-high looksLets start with Week 1 Monday Night Football, when?Brown?went off for 126 yards and two touchdowns versus the Redskins. With Norman lined up as the left CB on 81 percent of snaps, Brown went to work on Bashaud?Breeland,?beating the young defensive back over the top (twice).But where was the help? Where was the game plan to limit the explosive ability of the best wide receiver in the game? Think about it: Matching up to AB in a one-on-one situation is a tough job for anyone in the league -- especially when there is no immediate help over the top versus the deep ball. And if your top cornerback isnt going to check Brown, you need to adjust your scheme to take?the Steelers No. 1 receiver out of the game.When Ben Roethlisberger walks to the line of scrimmage, he sees?straight man coverage or Cover 1. No real disguise. Just line up and play. This is preseason stuff from the defense. And it automatically puts Breeland in a tough spot while giving Roethlisberger the exact look he wants to attack. With free safety DeAngelo Hall aligned as the deep middle deffender, Roethlisberger knows he has Brown in a true one-on-one matchup to throw the fade.ddddddddddddhen I was watching the tape, you know the first thing that jumped out to me? Roethlisbergers eyes at the snap. He didnt open his shoulders to the opposite side of the formation or hold the free safety over the top. Instead, he took the snap and immediately stared?Brown down. Why? Because of the defensive look from the Redskins. Roethlisberger knew that Hall couldnt make it over the top due to his pre-snap alignment. No chance.With one-on-one all the way, Big Ben delivers a perfect throw -- ball on the outside shoulder, away from Breelands leverage. Now, one could say that Breeland has to jam, or has to reroute Brown and then stack on top of the fade. I get it. Thats coachspeak in the defensive back meeting room. But its not that easy. Brown is electric off the release and his acceleration is legit.This is nothing more than?poor game planning from the Redskins. Its one thing to take Norman -- who doesnt usually travel with receivers -- and align him on the left side of the defense. That caters to his skill set more in Washingtons zone schemes. But when you essentially leave Breeland on an island, with no true help to impact the deep ball, you are asking for trouble.So how would I game plan a receiver like Brown, Beckham, Julio Jones, DeAndre Hopkins or A.J. Green? Put the?No. 1 cornerback on the oppositions No. 2 wide receiver and use the?scheme to take away the top wide receiver. No different than what the?New England Patriots used to do with Darrelle Revis.Here are three ways to get that done -- drawn up for you to see. ' ' '
