With Saint Segal and favourite Billytherealbigred setting a stiff early gallop Booster Bob appeared to be taken off his feet in the early stages and was soon well detached from the main group As the

Nicholls’ Coral Gold Cup winner Kandoo Kid but Vincenzo suddenly appeared on the scene looking to give Sam Thomas another big Saturday win after Katate Dori last week Booster Bob began to run on through beaten horses and even before jumping the last the result began to look inevitable as Olly Murphy’s seven-year-old was gaining ground with every stride The 16-1 chance eventually crossed the line a length and a quarter clear of Vincenzo currently leading the race to be champion jockey told Sky Sports Racing: “I don’t know how that happened “I actually fancied him coming into today because he’s a weird horse We’ve probably been wrong running him over two miles when most of the time it looks like he wants three he actually wants softer ground and was changing his legs on the way round but as he warmed up “When we passed one he sort of got into it then and when he passed a few more From the back of the ditch I felt I could win “It’s great for Graham (Whateley) as he’s a big supported of Olly’s We’ve had lots of winners for him but it’s nice to land a big one.” Murphy said: “I was thinking I was getting sacked and I was thinking Sean Bowen was too halfway round He just couldn’t go early and halfway I wanted him to pull up and save him for next week It was a disaster really but it’s worked out I’m very lucky to have him as my stable jockey These are the races you

Fergal O'Brien says he regrets getting "sucked into the hype" around his Greatwood Hurdle favourite Dysart Enos and is looking forward to a potential rematch with Burdett Road and Be Aware Dysart Enos was labelled "the best-handicapped horse in Britain and Ireland" by the Racing Post's Upping The Ante presenter David Jennings and O'Brien admitted he was buoyed by the confidence surrounding the mare who was a strong ante-post fancy for the lucrative handicap before being sent off 85-40 favourite "I was probably a bit disappointed because I got sucked into the hype which I don't normally do," said O'Brien "Everyone was telling me how well handicapped she was but Burdett Road was probably even better handicapped "I definitely wouldn't be afraid to take on Burdett Road and Be Aware again I was a bit deflated straight after the run because she was in great form but If we ran in Graded races he'd be giving us 7lb but he gave us 2lb and beat us only three and a half lengths O'Brien was pleased with numerous aspects of Dysart Enos's performance and is already targeting another valuable 2m handicap hurdle at Ascot on December 21 before a mares' conditions race at the same track on January 18 "There were so many positives," he said because she didn't jump great at slower paces last season "Johnny was aware Harry Cobden was having a bit of a freebie in front and we'd have liked something else to have gone after him so we could have played our cards a bit later That's probably cost us second." O'Brien also saddled the fourth home Tintintin He was third in the Swinton and he just turns up and does his job I'm sure he's crying out for a bit further Jack [Hogan] felt he was flat out the whole way but he came up the hill really well."

winners ran in before coming here: Steve Greatwood has settled in Bend for retirement “I spent so much time coming over here when I had free time all I want to do is here,” said the longtime college football coach who wrapped up a 40-year career by spending the past three seasons at California Greatwood was trimming some trees as a fire precaution on his property located on the east side of town Those are among the duties filling his calendar that is clear for the first time in four decades became grandparents for the first time in December “I haven’t had a fall to myself since high school so I want to experience some things,” Greatwood said “There is a lot of good fishing to be done in the fall It is going to be weird being in the stands “I don’t know how I will handle that so we will wait and see … Right now we are hanging around here but I’m sure we will take some trips I don’t have any desire to get on a plane because I’ve been on too darn many.” The 61-year old graduated from Churchill High School and Oregon before beginning his coaching career as a graduate assistant with the Ducks in 1980 He spent 32 seasons coaching at Oregon split between two stints “I turned out to be very fortunate because this is a transient profession,” Greatwood said “For me to spend the bulk of my career at Oregon and really watch that program grow and mature from an also-ran to one of the premier programs in the country gives me a great deal of satisfaction.” Greatwood coached the offensive line at Oregon from 1982 until 1995 when he left with Rich Brooks to coach the St He spent two years at USC and one at Maryland but returned to the Ducks in 2000 as the defensive line coach before switching back to the offensive line five years later Greatwood’s time at Oregon ended when Mark Helfrich was fired following the 2016 season former Duck Justin Wilcox was hired as the head coach at Cal and brought Greatwood on to coach the offensive line The Bears increased their win total during each of the past two seasons before finishing last year at 8-5 with a second straight bowl trip Greatwood walked off with a 35-20 win over Illinois in the Redbox Bowl “I feel like Cal is in a better place now than when we took over and my position group specifically,” he said “I think Cal is poised to have a breakout season I thought this was the right time to go because I left the cupboard full with all five starters back and two that were injured last year so potentially seven starters on the offensive line.” Greatwood said the changing nature of recruiting in college football was one reason he decided to get out of the game “I know I am going to miss the interaction with the players and camaraderie with the guys I coached with It was getting more and more difficult for me the recruiting part of it year-round and having to make decisions on kids during their sophomore year in high school “The whole acceleration of it put me off so this was the right time for me I couldn’t do the job that Justin needed me to do in recruiting to grow the program It got to the point where I felt like I wasn’t willing to do what was asked of me from the recruiting standpoint any longer to work at that high level.” Greatwood was part of six Pac-12 championships at Oregon with two trips to that national title game “I was very fortunate in my career,” he said “I got to play for a couple national championships I felt like I accomplished all I could short of winning a national title.” Bend has become home to a few former professional and college football players who are coaching high schools in the area Greatwood has already had a couple of inquiries about his availability to return to the sideline with one of those programs on Friday nights but this is my first fall and summer coming up,” he said “I know myself well enough that if I do volunteer I just don’t want to make that commitment right now.” It looks like JavaScript is not enabled in your browser Legendary

It’s been an amazing few days.”   The Greatwood has been hit and miss in terms of strength in depth in recent years, but this year’s renewal looked a strong one with several young improving horses with bundles of untapped potential in the line-up. Burdett Road, whose sole defeat over hurdles to this point had been at the hands of the top-class Sir Gino, was one of them, and Cobden set his stall out right from the off when sending the horse into the lead. Unbeaten mare Dysart Enos was nipping at his heels most of the way but started to run out of steam after the last, so the final challenge came from Be Aware who was smuggled craftily into the race by Harry Skelton. he said if there is no pace in the race today let’s rock and roll jumped great and gave himself a chance today “He found plenty when he needed to when he was challenged on the run-in He has improved a hell of a lot and is only going one way “He’ll need to improve plenty again to enter the Champion Hurdle picture but he is still young and there is more to come.” Find our detailed guide on responsible gambling practices here Our journalists strive for accuracy but on occasion we make mistakes.

With the Oregon Ducks under coach Chip Kelly, offensive line coach Steve Greatwood helped establish the most explosive offense in the Pac-10 and now will get a chance to make Cal’s offense flow freely Let’s chat with Alex Rider at Addicted to Quack to learn more about Greatwood Rider was part of Oregon’s team as a defensive analyst in 2013 and he provides some perspective on the type of offensive linemen Greatwood wants and the schemes he can execute Greatwood definitely goes with a zone scheme There's a little bit of man in terms of the pass protection and that's where with the young guys over the last few years there were some holes in the coverage But in terms of the run game it's essentially all zone The goal is always to stretch the defense and rely on the running back to find the gap It seems like towards the end of the tenure it started to get a little more towards the bigger/stronger type Maybe this had something to do with the many years of the talk of Oregon "not being strong enough for the big boys" Greatwood's ideal guy is tall and can move There's a great emphasis on the lateral quickness and the ability to get out in space and lead block How successful was Coach Greatwood recruiting both in the OL and then more broadly the rest of the team I would say that Greatwood in my opinion put in one of the best recruiting efforts on that coaching staff That might not be saying much seeing how that spiraled downhill I still think that John Neal was the best recruiter on the staff He played a big role in getting Arik Armstead to Oregon obviously he wanted him to play offense but he still played a big role in getting him to Eugene He also had a great deal of success in the transfer/juco market What attributes best sum up Coach Greatwood's coaching style I would say his coaching style is a tough one to gauge Some weeks he was really hands on and tough on the players and other weeks he was hands off and let the GA's do the work while he stood back I think he takes the personality based on the leadership that he has on the line and how they take control Anyone you ask from the line though would tell you he is one of the greatest teachers they've had He doesn't put up with anything but at the same point will be there to pick you up when you're down We've seen some pretty cool stories about Coach Greatwood looking out for his players off the field (grabbing them from the bars) Did you see any other instances of this behavior that you can share That's not something I really could envision coming out of Greatwood I know he cares about his players but that's taking it a whole new step Unfortunately I don't have any crazy stories along those lines Who are the biggest success stories for Greatwood in terms of his players What do you think was his best coaching job Honestly I think his best coaching job might have been last year there were plenty of bumps but looking at that lineup there was often times where four redshirt freshmen were taking the field when Tyrell Crosby went down with an injury That group really started to settle down towards the end of the season and found a way Otherwise I find his best success story to be most recently Hronis Grasu He's a guy who might be a little undersized especially for the next level but he coached him up into an all conference player and one that has an NFL roster spot do you think Coach Greatwood will succeed at Cal he's one of the great position coaches in the Pac-12 in my opinion and I was sad to see him go I see him as not only a great fit working with that coaching staff and offense Justin Wilcox is pulling Steve Greatwood out of retirement in hopes of fixing Cal's struggling offense The Cal head coach announced Tuesday the longtime offensive line coach will re-join the program as an analyst Greatwood retired in 2019 after 40 years in coaching A Eugene native and a former Oregon Duck himself Greatwood coached at his alma mater from 1980-94 and again from 2000-16.  Though Greatwood and Wilcox never wore Oregon green and yellow at the same time the pair have a relationship going back decades thanks to the many Wilcoxes that played for Oregon through the years And so coming off a loss to winless Colorado Wilcox has called in one of his most trusted friends and advisors.  “It’s a performance-based business, for the coaches and players alike,” Wilcox said, via Bear Insider “We have made a couple adjustments with our lineup this season and there’s a potential that could still evolve this week and in coming weeks we added an analyst to the staff who’s familiar with us An extra set of eyes and a person who’s universally respected not only as an offensive line coach but as an offensive coach Eyes and ears and maybe a little fresh perspective “Any chance to help make the program better and he’s here to support our staff and we welcome him back.” The Golden Bears are 11th in the Pac-12 in yards per play (5.58) and 10th in rushing offense

2015Homeowners say cable lines are too low Christine Dobbyn has the details.GREATWOOD TX (KTRK) -- Greatwood homeowners saw the work starting outside their windows a couple of weeks ago Spools were spinning as crews laid fiber optic utility lines President of the Greatwood Homeowners Association says "AT&T has a contractor that works in the neighborhood the contractor is putting up these cables." Take a drive down the street under the lines and something seemed different to them "They've got a problem in the neighborhood I'm surprised they haven't been pulled out by a semi or truck coming through yet," says Molho where kids jump into the air on trampolines The homeowners have asked for a meeting with AT&T A company spokesperson issued this statement: "We are working diligently to expand and enhance our local network to deliver high-speed Internet access Our crews are trained to obtain proper permitting closely follow local construction codes and work to minimize any disruption for residents Consumers with concerns about local construction can contact us at 281-374-3725 Our work in the area is scheduled to be complete by the end of this year." By law utility companies have certain rights in the easement area but the law also says after a line is constructed and the company is given opportunity a municipality could direct change in height Molho says in their case that would be Fort Bend County "I say it a lot just because you can doesn't mean you should We want them to be good neighbors just like the guy who lives here wants his neighbor to be a good neighbor." Pensacola Catholic’s lackluster finish to the 2017 season was a motivating factor for the Crusaders all through the 2018 season And after guiding Catholic to the Region 1-2A final – and within an overtime of the state final four – Crusader head coach Del Greatwood is the Pensacola News Journal Boys Soccer Coach of the Year we really underachieved,” Greatwood said They definitely stepped up all the boys and I’m really happy for them.” More: Introducing the 2018 PNJ All-Area boys soccer team More: Introducing the 2018 PNJ All-Area girls soccer team Greatwood’s Crusaders made the deepest postseason run of any boys soccer team from Escambia or Santa Rosa County this season a far cry from their elimination in the district semifinals the year before.  It was an effort led by Player of the Year Nelson Libbert (21 goals 10 assists) and sophomore forward Tyler Ryals (20 goals 10 assists) as well as the steadying presence of center back Johnny McDonald and first-year goalkeeper Mack Hamrick With a youthful side that featured just four total seniors Catholic (14-2-1) picked up form in district play and stormed to an undefeated record while outscoring opponents 26-1 you’re in a rubbish district,’ but we’re not really,” Greatwood said “There’s some highly competitive sides out there developing and that’s when our form was at a height.” The Crusaders won the district title in a dramatic double overtime thriller with South Walton and won two state tournament games over Gadsden County and Florida State University The run ended in the regional final against the powerhouse Bolles School which scored the overtime winner on a Catholic own goal It’s Greatwood’s second coach of the year award after the London He’s compiled a 79-20-14 record in those five seasons though he has a feeling that next year’s Catholic team may be one of his best yet “We’re looking hot for next season,” Greatwood said “We’re going to have strength and depth chemistry and all these boys know each other “I expect them to go to the same level and maybe peak just over that bridge and take go to that state final four We’ll start with the state final four and see where we go from there.” Wallace can be reached at ejwallace@pnj.com or 850-525-5087 The consensus is that this year’s Greatwood is well up to standard and fiercely competitive, yet unbeaten mare Dysart Enos is still likely to start at under 3-1 The Fergal O'Brien-trained mare hasn’t put a foot wrong in six starts and first served notice of her high-level talent when romping home in the Grade 2 mares' bumper at Aintree in April 2023 She took beautifully to hurdles last season Taking into account the manner of those wins plus Dysart Enos's sky-high potential it is no surprise O’Brien has wrapped her in cotton wool and waited for this £100,000 prize off what appears to be a highly favourable mark “This was the plan ever since we got such a nice mark and we want to exploit it,” O’Brien said “If we could pull it off on the back of a novice run and first time back She’s done loads of work and we’re very happy with her Dysart Enos has winning form on good and soft ground and O'Brien added: "I think she's pretty

Published on 23 October 2024inStable Tours James Owen’s 7-2 chance powered clear three out along with market leader Dysart Enos and got the upper hand over that rival once turning into the home straight Be Aware briefly looked a big danger when coming out of the chasing pack to mount a late challenge but Harry Cobden was always in control on the Gredley family-owned Burdett Road and they prevailed by half a length Trainer James Owen – whose East India Dock impressed on Saturday in the same colours – said: “It was a great performance Tim (Gredley) and I both agreed that we were going to change tactics we’ve learnt a lot on the Flat with him this time and we wanted to make the running “He settled lovely and Harry gave him a fantastic ride jumped impeccably for a four-year-old and for me He looked like he was going to get caught but he’s just gone again “He’s a lovely horse and it’s a great performance from a four-year-old in a strong race – and this horse wants cut in the ground as well so we’re really looking forward to the rest of the season with him “It’s the first time he’s really given himself a chance in a race; jumped he added: “It’s still a long way to go but obviously on his Flat form he’s more than capable of getting there and we’ll aim that way I’m not sure where we’ll go next but I’m sure it will be a graded race somewhere “It’s lovely to get these good horses and do the job for the Gredley family my wife’s a big part of the team and it’s just a shame Tim and the Gredley family aren’t here but I’m sure they’ll be cheering at home.” Burdett Road won his first two starts over hurdles last season before finishing second to Sir Gino and he was then forced to miss the Triumph at the Festival he got back on track with a successful Flat campaign this summer which included a wide-margin win in Listed company at Newmarket Winning rider Cobden said: “All credit to James and the job he has done with this horse He said there was no speed in the race today so let’s rock and roll – the horse settled nicely jumped great and just gave himself a chance He’s improved a hell of a lot and he even did that this summer on the Flat but you have to chuck him in the (Champion Hurdle) mix now Burdett Road is 33-1 with Coral for the Champion Hurdle A year on from James Owen promising Burdett Road would be the real deal the four-year-old justified his huge reputation with a commanding success in the Unibet Greatwood Hurdle to emerge as a Champion Hurdle candidate His freegoing mentality over hurdles was the only concern for backers of the 7-2 second favourite but his professionalism and raw talent ensured he put up the performance of his life This was also the biggest winner so far in the career of Owen who started as a dominant player on the Arab racing circuit but is now an increasing presence in the thoroughbred world A year on from his Graded-race breakthrough in the Triumph Trial at this meeting the Newmarket trainer now has a contender for the Cheltenham Festival’s signature hurdling contest – a race for which Burdett Road is now as short as 25-1 – as well as a 2025 Derby contender in Wimbledon Hawkeye who has played a prominent role in the emergence of Owen's stable as a force over jumps allowed Burdett Road to take his trademark position at the front of affairs but racing more coolly than when blitzing his rivals

pundits as the best-handicapped jumper in Britain and Ireland looked set to threaten as Jonathan Burke manoeuvred Fergal O’Brien's stable star into a position to strike her unbeaten record under rules on the line A confident Cobden kicked and the front two traded blows with little between them Only in the final 100 yards did the gutsy mare finally give way as Burdett Road approached the line with Be Aware representing the red-hot Dan and Harry Skelton partnership “Tim Gredley [joint-owner] and I agreed we were going to change tactics We learned a lot with Burdett Road on the Flat and wanted to make the running He settled lovely and Harry gave him a fantastic ride “He jumped impeccably for a four-year-old and was just idling up the hill It looked like he was going to get caught but when the other horse came to him he’s just gone again “It was a strong race and he really wants cut in the ground I’m really looking forward to the rest of the season with him “There’s a long way to go until the Champion Hurdle Obviously on his Flat form he’s more than capable of getting there We’ll aim that way and I’m not sure where we’ll go next although I’m sure it will be a Graded race.” Much has changed since a teenage Cobden announced himself with victory aboard Old Guard in this race nine years ago and he said: “James was keen for us to go forward and it was absolutely the right thing to do as there wasn’t much speed in the race on paper "He gave himself a chance in front because he looked at all his hurdles he’s relaxed more and we’re seeing the effects of that as all he’ll do is keep improving Whether he’s Champion Hurdle class I’m not quite sure but he won’t be far off that by the end of the season hopefully.” was beaten three and a half lengths but Burke was encouraged by her first start since January He said: "She jumped the best she’s ever done We were hoping the speed of the race would help her and it did Every time she saw a hurdle she attacked it She even gave me the confidence after two out to sit again and it was only after the point of the bend that I thought I wouldn't win “The winner is a good horse and there are plenty of positives to take from the run of
