Ill go three-deep in the one-mile turf event with the favored CONQUEST ENFORCER (1), HAMMERS VISION (2), and the first-time gelding HOLLYWOOD HIDEAWAY (11).Race 7: A nine-furlong allowance, can be pared down to MACHO BREW (4) and NIPIGON (1A), whos coupled with outsider NIIGONS TURN.The class of race 8: The Grade 3 Singspiel is headed by 2015 Breeders Stakes winner DANISH DYNAFORMER (2), who was the beaten favorite in last years Queens Plate. He was recently sixth in the Grade 1 Woodford Reserve Turf Classic at Churchill, from which the unplaced Midnight Storm exited to take the Grade 1 Shoemaker Mile. Hes a single, and the 6-1 morning-line quote on him is way too high.STRUT THE COURSE (5) is preferred in the ninth, the Grade 2 Dance Smartly, a race she won last year over a salty field. Others worth using are BALL DANCING (1), LEXIE LOU (3), and HEATH (6).Ill go six-deep in the Queens Plate, using LEAVEM IN MALIBU (4), SHAKHIMAT (6), ROCKET PLAN (8), AMIS GIZMO (10), ESPOSITO (11), and GAMBLES GHOST (13).Pick 5 (Races 6-10): 1,2,11 / 1,4 / 2 / 1,3,5,6 / 4,6,8,10,11,13Unlike the pick four and pick five, Woodbines rolling doubles have a low 15 percent takeout.Off a flat fourth in her first turf start, ADIOS AL (2) seems made to order for the opener, a right-handed turf sprint for maidens. Key her and take NASHVILLE KNIGHT (3) and KITTEN CANDY (7) in the second.Double (Races 1-2): 2 / 3,7 Air Max Free Shipping . -- There were so many positives from the Orlando Magics first victory of the season that it was hard for coach Jacque Vaughn to stop praising his players. Air Max Ireland .Y. -- Marcell Dareus and the Buffalo Bills defence made life miserable for Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco. http://www.airmaxireland.com/ . The judges scored it 48-47, 48-47, 49-46 for Jones (19-1). It was the champions closest call. Despite the loss, it was a remarkable show by the confident Swedish challenger, who had the best of the early rounds and then hung on in the fourth and fifth. Wholesale Air Max . -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked his players a simple question during Fridays morning shootaround: How many of them had ever been on a team 14 games over . Air Max Ireland Sale .R. Smith realized how easily basketball can be taken from him, and he wasnt going to take his place in the NBA for granted anymore. Minnesota has a gleaming new stadium. The Vikings are division champions for the first time in six years. Now theyre reeling from the loss of quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, likely for the entire season.The headlines around the division sure have a purple shade.Theres still plenty of green, or rather Green Bay, left to repaint the NFC North horizon.Aaron Rodgers and the proud Packers have wide receiver Jordy Nelson back from the right ACL injury that kept him from playing in 2015, aiming for repossession of the title.Rodgers came back leaner after some dietary changes, recharged for another run at a Super Bowl trophy hes touched once -- five-plus years ago.My 12th season, all with the same team, its exciting, said Rodgers, who will turn 33 on Dec. 2. It actually gets a little sweeter I think every single year.Dethroning the Vikings would sure be delicious. Fittingly, the Packers will be Minnesotas opponent on Sept. 18 for their regular-season opener at U.S. Bank Stadium in front of a crowd of 66,000 and a Sunday night national TV audience.Bridgewater, who suffered a significant injury to his left knee in practice on Tuesday, will probably be relegated to inspirational pregame speaker for that one.Were not looking for excuses. Were going to go out and fight like we always do, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said after Bridgewater was hurt. Everybody can count us out if they want, but I think that would be the wrong thing to do.Keeping up with Minnesota and Green Bay will be a challenge for Detroit and Chicago, with the Lions trying to avoid replicating that 1-7 start in 2015 and the Bears burdened by a five-year absence from the playoffs.Heres a quick glance around the NFC North as this Great Lakes states quartet gets ready for the regular season:UNDER COVERThe Vikings have moved back inside after a two-year stint at the University of Minnesota while their $1.1 billion, ship-shaped, see-through venue was being built. The gawking will go on all season, with the translucent, space-age roof and the ground-to-ceiling glass on the front side giving the enclosed stadium an outdoor feel.The controlled climate ought to help a passing game that has lagged near the bottom of the league, but losing Bridgewater sure wont. Fifteen-year veteran Shaun Hill will step in for now, aided by the additions this season of left guard Alex Boone and wide receiver Laquon Treadwell.DIGGGING INTo take back the division title theyve won eight times in 14 years, the Packers need some improvement on defense.dddddddddddd. Linebacker Clay Matthews has moved back outside to his natural position, after a solid performance playing inside to fill in.That has put the spotlight once again on the men in the middle, a position that has often been in flux during the past decade under coach Mike McCarthy.Jake Ryan and Sam Barrington are the expected starters for now. Ryan cracked the starting lineup down the stretch as a rookie fourth-round draft pick, and Barrington has been working his way back from a foot injury that cost him most of the season. The Packers ranked 21st and 23rd in yards rushing allowed in the NFL the past two years.AIR BEARSAlshon Jeffery was the only player who topped 500 yards receiving for the Bears last season, and calf, hamstring, groin and shoulder problems limited him to nine games. The seventh pick in the 2015 draft, Kevin White, missed his rookie season because of a stress fracture in his left shin. That left Jay Cutler without much to work with in the passing game.With stalwart running back Matt Forte and talented tight end Martellus Bennett gone, therell be even more onus on Jeffery and White to not only stay healthy but produce like a top-flight tandem. Jeremy Langford will be the featured runner, now that Forte has joined the New York Jets.GETTING GROUNDEDDetroits replacement of Calvin Johnson, following the star wide receivers surprise retirement at age 30, will be under scrutiny all fall. Newcomers Marvin Jones, Anquan Boldin and Andre Roberts, who have 25 seasons of experience in the league between them, are getting settled with quarterback Matthew Stafford to supplement Golden Tate.Running back Ameer Abdullah, along with third-down standout Theo Riddick, is really the one to watch, though. The Lions ranked last in the league in rushing yards last season when Abdullah was a rookie. Offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter, under whom Stafford thrived after a midseason change, has been tasked with establishing better balance.PREDICTED ORDER OF FINISHPackers, Vikings, Lions, Bears.---Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
