NEW YORK -- Horses in the Belmont Stakes on June 8 will face tighter security for the second straight year. Torii Hunter Jersey . They wont, however, be kept in a detention barn three days before the race, as they were last year. The New York State Gaming Commission and the New York Racing Association on Tuesday said the horses will be subject to out-of-competition blood testing for banned substances. They must be at Belmont by June 5 and will have 24-hour monitoring at their trainers own barns and stalls at the track. The commission also wants veterinary records for three days leading to the race. New rules last year angered several trainers, including Doug ONeill. His horse, Ill Have Another, was bidding to become the first Triple Crown winner since 1978. The colt was scratched the day before the Belmont with an injury and retired. Like last year, all equipment, feed and hay bales will be subject to search. Security guards will monitor all treatment by vets. On race day, horses will report at least 45 minutes before race time for testing and be escorted to the paddock. Jorge Polanco Twins Jersey . Laudrup revealed Thursday he was notified of his dismissal in "the briefest of letters which gave no reasons why such hasty and final action was deemed necessary. Trevor Hildenberger Twins Jersey . On June 12, just as the sun sets on the magnificent historical city of Sao Paulo the inventors, innovators and purveyors of “joga bonitowill” open their campaign. The opponent, Croatia and all its football might and will. As opposites do attract we are set for a corker of an opener. https://www.cheaptwins.com/1422t-joe-mauer-jersey-twins.html . The defending champion beat Gael Monfils of France 7-6 (6), 6-3, while second-seeded Andy Murray of Britain dispatched Edouard Roger-Vasselin, also of France, 6-3, 6-3. Making his first appearance since injuring his wrist a month ago, Del Potro had difficulty with his service games in the first set. NEW ORLEANS -- Saints linebacker Craig Robertson sounded confident that he knew the main reason why New Orleans looked as locked-in as the club has been all season during a lopsided victory over Los Angeles Rams.It wasnt because of a motivational speech. It wasnt because of a desire to show up a certain former Saints defensive coordinator now serving in the same capacity in Los Angeles.And it wasnt because the Saints have adopted as their theme song The Circle of Life from the Disney movie, The Lion King, which blared from the Superdome sound system after a second-half touchdown.Really theres only one factor, Robertson said. We just know we have to win. Thats it.In their 49-21 victory over the Rams on Sunday, the Saints improved to 5-6, keeping them two games behind Atlanta (7-4) in the NFC South and 1+ games behind Washington (6-4-1), which is in the final wild-card playoff spot.Like Robertson, right tackle Zach Strief suggested that a sense of desperation might have brought out the best in the Saints.I dont know how exceptionally motivated anybody was by the Rams game so much as the fact that were essentially in a win-or-go-home situation, Strief said.This team right now feels like its back is against the wall and we dont have any room for error.And maybe, for this team, thats what we need, Strief said.New Orleans has five games left to make up ground, starting when the Detroit Lions (7-4) visit the Superdome this Sunday.The recent adoption of the Lion King theme song is coincidental, said Strief, who declined to get into specifics of why the song has meaning to the club beyond saying it has to do with the position that were in and the mentality that we need to have going forward.The Saints have played in a slew of close games this season, but often struggled to pull them out. Five of their six losses have come by six or fewer points, including four by a field goal or less, one by two points and one by a single point.Saints coach Sean Payton said that with so many close games across the NFL, the ability to minimize errors and make playss in the clutch can be the difference between a successful season and a disappointing one. Kirby Puckett Twins Jersey. Its an emotional game to begin with, Payton said. If you had the exact recipe each week, it would be a lot easier.The Lions, Payton noted, have found a way to win some of those (close) games, and as a result of that, theyre having a real good football season.Detroit has won five games by four or fewer points, including its most recent triumph over Minnesota on Thanksgiving Day, won by a late field goal set up by an interception.Time will tell if the Saints are evolving into the type of team the Lions have been to this point.There are several reasons for optimism, though, starting with a league-leading offense that put up a whopping 555 yards on a Rams defense that arrived in New Orleans ranked sixth in the NFL.Meanwhile, New Orleans defense has steadily performed better while benefiting from the return of key players whod been injured earlier this season -- namely, defensive tackle Sheldon Ranks, linebacker Dannell Ellerbe and cornerback Delvin Breaux.Rankins, a first-round draft choice last spring, had a sack and strip that resulted in a turnover in the red zone against the Rams. Ellerbe also had a sack for a third game in a row.And while Saints defenders lambasted themselves for first-half breakdowns that allowed the Rams to score 21 points, they were pleased at their ability to make adjustments at halftime and shut out Los Angeles the rest of the way.By games end, the Saints had limited a second straight foe to fewer than 300 yards -- a far cry from their first five games, when four teams gained more than 400 yards.This team feels were better that our record shows, Strief said. We put ourselves in this situation, but this team still has a chance to do something special and I think theres confidence in the building that we can still do that.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
