Trainer Michael Bell is confident Big Orange will run a massive race in Tuesdays Melbourne Cup after faring well in the all-important barrier draw. Bob Hayes Jersey . The dual Goodwood Cup hero finished fifth in the Flemington showpiece last year from stall 23 and the Newmarket handler admitted to being thrilled after receiving a far more favourable starting berth this time around in stall seven.He said: Were absolutely delighted. Its obviously a much better position than last year and we think the horse is in better shape than he was 12 months ago.Its got to be a positive weve drawn a low number when you consider how well he ran from a wide draw last year and were very much looking forward to the race.We just need the rain stay away - the track is riding quick today which would have suited him - and Im sure hell run a massive race.There were mixed results for British and Irish challengers overall.Charlie Applebys Oceanographer, who confirmed his place in the 24-strong field with a last-gasp victory in the Lexus Stakes earlier in the day, will break from stall 11, with Geelong Cup-winning stable companion Qewy in stall 15.A formidable Godolphin squad also includes the Saeed bin Suroor-trained pair of Beautiful Romance (stall one) and Secret Number (stall 10) and John OSheas ante-post favourite Hartnell (stall 12).Aidan OBriens Bondi Beach fared best of the Irish contingent, with connections drawing stall five.However, Tony Martins Ebor winner Heartbreak City and the Willie Mullins-trained Irish St Leger hero Wicklow Brave are widest of all in stalls 23 and 24 respectively.Mullins said: Its not the stall youd pick, but what can you do?He did it in the County Hurdle, coming widest of all and winning well, so Im hoping lightning can strike twice.Its not ideal, but the horse is in great shape and were focusing on the positives.Ciaron Mahers Caulfield Cup heroine Jameka appears well positioned in stall three.Sky Bet are paying six places on each-way bets in the Emirates Melbourne Cup Also See: Live results service Full racecards Get Sky Sports £10 completely free bet! Justin Skule Jersey . According to a report from the Winnipeg Free Press, the Bombers will name Acting GM Kyle Walters to the post full time. John Henry Johnson Jersey . Clarke was injured while practicing on the Doha Golf Club range after the pro-am on Tuesday. The Northern Irishman arrived at the course on Wednesday hoping to start, but after hitting a few balls on the practice putting green Clarke advised officials he was not fit to play. http://www.custom49ersjersey.com/ . Sgt. Eric ONeal says most of the arrests at Monday nights game were for public drunkenness, though one person was taken into custody on suspicion of trying to steal a seat from the stadium. PHILADELPHIA -- If the Chicago White Sox are going to limit their opponents offensively, theyre going to need to keep them from running rampant on the basepaths.In a 7-6 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night, the White Sox allowed three stolen bases before Cesar Hernandez was thrown out trying to steal second in the eighth inning.That continues a troubling theme with rookie catcher Omar Narvaez behind the plate. In 215 innings, he allowed 21 stolen bases while catching only two runners, a success rate of 8.7 percent.Those steals proved troublesome against the Phillies (69-83), with Odubel Herrera (two) and rookie Roman Quinn putting themselves in scoring position for the top four of the Philadelphia lineup that went 8-for-15 on Tuesday.Manager Robin Ventura, though, didnt seem too worried afterward about the trend, hesitating to put all the blame on the 24-year-old from Venezuela who was first called up in July.Youre going to need some help from your pitchers, Ventura said. Those guys are pretty speedy, so its not for a lack of trying or having the arm to do it. Its just youve got to be able to time it up right.Stealing bases isnt something new to the Phillies, who are 11th in the majors in steals (87). But the addition of Quinn, a 23-year old rookie, to the lineup -- Phillies manager Pete Mackanin has had him batting second in the order -- gives them another set of afterburners on the base paths.Quinn has elite level speed, Jake Thompson said after winning Tuesdays game. Its fun watching those guys get going out there. Theres probably only maybe three or four teams in the league that have someone who can run like Quinn. Jimmy Garoppolo Jersey. Whenever he gets his feet going, its fun to watch.Ventura has a veteran to help Narvaez out on the mound Wednesday in Chris Sale as the White Sox (72-79) attempt to even the two-game series.Sale (16-8, 3.03 ERA) can equal his career high for wins in a season. Hes one behind the 17 he won in 2012, his first season as a full-time starter and first of five straight All-Star appearances.In three September starts, hes 1-1 with a 2.52 ERA, striking out 30 against two walks in 25 innings.The Phillies counter with Jerad Eickhoff, who has been steady all season long despite a general lack of run support (3.4 runs per game), going 10-14 with a 3.74 ERA in his first full major league season.Since the All-Star break, hes 4-4 with a 3.66 ERA, though hes coming off a bit of a rough outing, when he gave up a three-run seventh-inning home run as part of allowing six runs (three earned) in 6 2/3 innings of a 15-2 loss to Pittsburgh on Thursday.Eickhoff could benefit from the continued surge of center fielder Odubel Herrera, who is 15-for-28 over his last seven games after a 3-for-4, three-RBI performance Tuesday.Herreras swinging the bat very well and thats really nice to see, manager Pete Mackanin said. We needed him to do that. He looks like hes getting more selective. Hes not taking those wild swings and its paying off. ' ' '
