The father and daughter training team of Terry and Karina OSullivan are planning a dual attack on the Ballarat Cup.Magnapal and Golden Oldies are nominated to run in the $300,000 Listed race over 2200m on Saturday.Terry OSullivan says Magnapal is looking for a distance rise while Golden Oldies is chasing a third Cup victory from as many starts.Magnapal struck form during the spring of 2015 when he gained a start in the Caulfield Cup via a qualifying race.The OSullivans had hoped to follow a similar program this year and Magnapal looked to be on target, finishing fourth in the Heatherlie Stakes before running fifth to Jameka in the Naturalism Stakes.As he did 12 months earlier, Magnapal then ran in the JRA Cup at Moonee Valley.He pulled up a bit crook after the JRA Cup so we couldnt go on, Terry OSullivan said.Although he only beat two to the line in Saturdays Eclipse Stakes at Sandown, OSullivan was pleased with the geldings performance, his second run since the JRA Cup.I would have preferred to see Luke (Currie) get to the outside rather than get bottled up in amongst them, but I thought his run wasnt too bad, OSullivan said.He wasnt beaten that far and I think hes looking for a little more ground so Im pretty keen to have a go at the race.Golden Oldies was a city winner as a late three-year-old and has struck form winning the St Arnaud and Ararat Cups at his past two starts.While acknowledging Golden Oldies faces a rise in grade, OSullivan says the five-year-old deserves his chance.Hes racing really well and he was pretty promising as a three-year-old until he did a tendon, OSullivan said.Its been a long haul back and it took him a few runs to hit his straps.I think hes racing particularly well and I suppose the question is, is he up to the class?I think he deserves a crack at it and well find out on Saturday if hes up to it.Currie will ride Magnapal on Saturday while Linda Meech will take over from apprentice Jessica Eaton who has ridden Golden Oldies to his past two victories.Fake NBA Jerseys Online . Perhaps Carroll was so prepared for a break because he believes there is very little the Seattle Seahawks need heading into the off-season. "I dont see anything that we need to add. We just have to get better," Carroll said. Discount Fake NBA Jerseys . JOHNS, N. http://www.fakenbajerseys.com/ .Y. -- Marcell Dareus and the Buffalo Bills defence made life miserable for Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco. Fake NBA Jerseys 2019 . -- The proud fathers huddled near the Dallas Stars dressing room, smiling, laughing and telling stories while wearing replica green sweaters of their sons team. Fake Nike NBA Jerseys .500 on the season. The Jets are now 0-5-1 in the second game of back-to-backs. The game started the same way the Vancouver game started the night before, with the Jets taking the first two penalties of the game and killing off the first, but the Oilers getting on the board first, scoring on the second man-advantage.COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Maryland first-year coach DJ Durkin insists last years numbers wont influence his selection of the teams starting quarterback.Then again, its tough to ignore 29 interceptions and eight fumbles from the most important player on the field.Theres the obvious thing: We did a poor job of taking care of the ball last season, Durkin said Tuesday at his first media day with the Terrapins. We definitely make reference to that and talk about how thats got to be corrected.Perry Hills, Caleb Rowe, redshirt freshman Gage Shaffer and freshman Tyrell Pigrome are vying to start the Sept. 3 opener against Howard. The one who best displays the ability to avoid turnovers will likely get the job.We talk a lot about protecting the football, having great ball security, Durkin said. Thats a guy that has the ball in his hands every snap, so he has to be a great decision-maker.The Terrapins went 3-9 last year, primarily because of a minus-18 turnover differential. The main offenders were Hills (13 interceptions, five fumbles) and Rowe (15 INTs, three fumbles).It was the hardest year Ive been through, said Rowe, a fifth-year senior. Ive got to learn from my mistakes. But the past is the past.Fortunately for Hills and Rowe, Durkin feels the same way.Absolutely clean slate, Durkin said. Its totally different how theyre being coached right now, its a totally different the scheme theyre in, its a totally different mindset. Were not going to judge them or form an opinion on what theyve done in the past.Rowe has been unable to practice since June because of an undisclosed injury. He hopes to return this week and be part of the fray.Bring it on, says Hills, who started eight games last year.Even if youre thee starter, fourth string, whatever, there has to be a competition, Hills said.dddddddddddd `If there isnt, youre either going to get complacent or just say, `Im the fourth guy, whatever, Im just going to sit here and relax. Everyone has to be pushing each other to get better. Thats how you get a real good team.Durkin plans to employ a fast-paced offense that relies on a quarterback whos adept at both running and throwing the football. Hills ran for 535 yards last year -- which gives him an edge over Rowe in that aspect of the game -- but Pigrome might get playing time because of his elusiveness in the open field.The 2015 Gatorade Alabama Player of the Year, Pigrome ran for 1,349 yards and 18 touchdowns as a senior and threw only four interceptions.Im not the type of person to turn the ball over, the freshman said, adding, but its a new level so you never know what will happen.Rowe threw only 10 interceptions in his first three seasons at Maryland before stumbling in 2015.Throughout my career, in high school and college, I never really turned the ball over that much, he said. Its something you go through and learn from it.Thats how Hills looks at it, too.The problem with the picks was sometimes just forcing the ball, trying to make something happen, he said. Not playing very smart.That cant happen if the Terrapins are to compete in the Big Ten.In practice, coaches do a real good job of focusing on the right reads and quarterback decisions, Hills said.The message is clear.The No. 1 key to winning a game, Hills said, is protecting the ball and winning the turnover battle.
