Mine That Bird update
ARCADIA, Calif. — Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird has completed his first workout at Santa Anita, galloping five furlongs in preparation for the $350,000 Goodwood Stakes on Oct. 10.
Jockey Joe Talamo was aboard Mine That Bird on Tuesday morning in place of regular rider Calvin Borel. The 3-year-old gelding was timed in 1:01.80 for the distance over the synthetic surface.
“It went just right,” trainer Chip Woolley said. “I really like the way he’s striding out on this racetrack. It really seems really kind and he’s getting a good hold of it.”
Woolley said Mine That Bird’s next scheduled workout would be on Oct. 6.
The winner of the Goodwood Stakes earns an automatic berth in the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic on Nov. 7.

Big wins by LCHS, OHS in football action
Las Cruces High proved Friday night it will be a huge factor in Class 5A football once again on Friday night, winning at Manzano.
The Monarchs had already beaten La Cueva, a team which beat Las Cruces High.
The Bulldawgs needed the win at Manzano to build confidence. Earlier this season, LCHS blew a lead against La Cueva and lost at home. And the Bulldawgs lost to El Paso El Dorado in the season opener by a decisive score, but head coach Jim Miller said after that game that his team would be back and it is. The team has done a good job of getting back to work and correcting some problems. Kudos has to be given to running back Xavier Hall, the younger brother of NMSU football player James Hall Jr. Xavier has given the team a spark and was a huge reason for the team's win on Friday.
Meanwhile, Onate won't get pretty points for its win against Sandia on Saturday. But the win could go a long way in securing a playoff spot in Class 5A. The Knights should be 5-1 headed into district play and at worst case should be 7-3 at the end of the regular season. Last year, the Knights lost several games they needed to win, not so much this year.
OHS must continue to find consistency on offense as the season wears on.
Any thoughts?

Heavyweight fight on Sept. 26
For you fans of heavyweight boxing, Saturday night's WBC heavyweight title match between Vitali Klitschko (37-2-2) and Chris Arreola (27-0) should be an interesting one. The fight will be televised by HBO.
Arreola is aiming to become the first fighter of Mexican descent to win the heavyweight title. He's an exciting fighter with a good heart and heavy punch. He will have to be in the best shape of his life to win on Saturday night. He'll have to be aggressive, hit the body and try to get the fight over quick.
Klitschko is a proven champ, he's a good technical fighter and has been in several big fights, so he knows how to hand the pressure of the moment. Klitschko is bigger and has all the tools to win. Arreola will have to have the night of his life, but if he can sustain the pressure and not get gobbled up by the moment, don't be shocked at an upset.
But my guess is he Klitschko will be via unanimous decision.
