Del Mar and Saratoga are co-hosting a 50-cent, all-stakes pick four Saturday, a wager that is attractive in that it encompasses the best races from the two tracks and can be played for a relatively small amount. The latter detail is in part due to the presence of Songbird in the Alabama, where she will be singled on most tickets, including mine.In a section of Saturdays Daily Racing Form that previewed these four races, I compiled a caveman ticket, playing all horses equally. That was, in essence, my spread ticket. But those looking to emphasize playing the horses they like most can use DRFS online TicketMaker program, where tickets can be played of varied amounts, depending on how much a bettor likes a particular horse in each race.In addition to the aforementioned ticket, what follows is how I plan to play the wager using TicketMaker.Fourstardave, Saratoga, Race 9Ive regularly found that one-mile turf races (that dont include Tepin) are often competitive affairs, and the Fourstardave seems no different. Just about anyone in this field can win, and more than likely, the race will come down to which horse gets the best trip.I like three horses best: Force the Pass (4), Tourist (8), and A Lot (7). All three rate as A runners, or primary plays, in the TicketMaker program.Though Tourist is the fastest horse on figures, Force the Pass and A Lot hold as much appeal because they are likely to offer more value than Tourist, the 5-2 morning-line favorite. Force the Pass is 8-1, and A Lot is 10-1.Others have shots as well, notably Ring Weekend (6), a classy sort who runs well fresh, and Takeover Target (9), who won the Hall of Fame over this course last summer and took the Grade 2 Dixie over Ring Weekend in May at Pimlico. They rank as backup B horses.Alabama, Saratoga, Race 10Songbird (6) has repeatedly beaten better fields than the group assembled for the Alabama, and at equal weights while favorably drawn outside the other speed, she ought to keep her perfect record intact.The only thing she hasnt done is race 1-1/4 miles, but that doesnt seem like a big deal. When her leads have diminished late in races, it has typically been the result of being geared down by regular rider Mike Smith.Single Songbird as the lone A.Del Mar Handicap, Race 8Ashleyluvssugar (8) likely goes favored in this three-turn, 1-3/8-mile turf race, being in top form and having won graded stakes at 1-1/2 miles last year. Ashleyluvssugar is an A, but so, too, is Flamboyant (7) despite running a nonthreatening sixth in this race last year when he last raced 1-3/8 miles.But take note: Flamboyant wasnt running well going any distance last year. It wasnt until early this year that he stepped up his game.In terms of pedigree, as a French-bred with staying sires in his family, Flamboyant has every right to stretch out successfully.My backup B runners to this pair are Finnegans Wake (9) and Patentar (11), with Finnegans Wake looking like he is cycling back to his peak form of past years, and with Patentar offering value at 20-1 on the morning line.Pacific Classic, Del Mar, Race 9The worlds best dirt horse, California Chrome, landed on the rail, a poor draw for a horse who prefers to run outside. Remember that in two of his notable defeats in 2014 at age 3, he started from posts 2 and 1 in the Belmont Stakes and Pennsylvania Derby.However, California Chrome has a longer run to the turn in this race, and with Beholder and Dortmund in posts 7 and 8, he may not have his rivals lapped on him from the start.Dortmund (8) and Beholder (7) tower over the rest of the field and are the logical others to use. Dortmund is an A and Beholder a B.Inserting the above-mentioned horses into TicketMaker, for $53 you can play a $1.50 all-A ticket, a $1 ticket with any combination of three A horses and one B, and a 50-cent ticket with two A horses and two B runners.The caveman ticket that was outlined earlier can also be added to create a total cost of $83.

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica -- Jurgen Klinsmann has grown impatient with the whining American prospects who fail to earn playing time on their clubs.For every player like teen sensation Christian Pulisic, who broke into Borussia Dortmunds lineup at just 17, there are multiple examples of others who flopped in Europe. The U.S. coach identified members of the under-23 team that failed to qualify for the 2012 London Olympics, citing winger Brek Shea, who made just three Premier League appearances for Stoke during two years in England, and forward Juan Agudelo, who failed to get a work permit and never got into a game for the Potters.Everyone, he knows, must be far better. They must want it more -- like he did when he was a star forward in the 1980s and `90s.We hoped. And we hoped, Klinsmann said. And then they called: The coach doesnt play me. Well, you have to make the coach play you.Sitting on the patio of a hotel restaurant the day before a 4-0 loss to Costa Rica in a World Cup qualifier this past week -- which hugely increased his own job pressure- Klinsmann addressed the topic of player development during a 50-minute sit-down with American reporters. He looked to the future of forwards Bobby Wood and Jordan Morris, calling them potential difference makers.You see a lot of talent not having that inner drive. You see a lot of talents not going to the highest level possible, and you feel for them, Klinsmann said. You feel for them because, well, you put in years of talking, guiding, explaining, videoing, and it hasnt clicked. It hasnt made that difference. And you can go through a palette of players that weve had coming through the last five years that unfortunately were not able to intellectually take that message or messages and make it into a huge career.A World Cup champion with West Germany in 1990, a European champion with Germany six years later and coach of the 2006 German team that reached the World Cup semifinals, Klinsmann was hired five years ago to help impart to Americans the routines of high-level soccer -- what it takes to succeed at the highest level, the daily demands of being the best. He has an American wife and has lived in California since retiring as a player in 1998, giving him perspective on how U.S. soccer is unique.Klinsmann said academics and the desire of parents to have American prospects attend college has hurt player development, frustrating both him and U.S. under-20 coach Tab Ramos. Klinsmann understands the motivation -- his son Jonathan is a goalkeeper at thee University of California at Berkeley.dddddddddddd He is impatient with those who are distracted by their non-soccer lives.Theyre not going to the next level because they want to go partying, he said. And Tab and I, we go crazy, and said `Why are you settling now? Well, because the parents are happy.When he asks something of a player, and gets the response, Oh, let me call my agent, Klinsmann said his reaction is then: You know what? Conversation over.And with that, Klinsmann clapped his hands twice.But some players do break through.Pulisic, from Hershey, Pennsylvania, and already among the Americans most technically skilled players, was noticed by Dortmund scouts three years ago in Florida. He signed as a 16-year-old, made his debut in January and scored twice in nine league games last season. He has two more Bundesliga goals this season, and he made his Champions League debut.Lynden Gooch, a 20-year-old midfielder from Santa Cruz, California, got noticed by Sunderland when he was with the Santa Cruz Breakers Academy team, traveled to England during time off from school and joined Sunderlands youth system at age 16. He made his first-team debut for the Black Cats in this years Premier League opener and has eight league appearances.I called David Moyes: What is it about the kid? Klinsmann said of his phone call to the Sunderland manager. He remembered how Moyes told him: `Oh my gosh, Jurgen, this kid is hungry. I dont even know how to keep him on the bench.Cameron Carter-Vickers, the 18-year-old son of former NBA guard Howard Carter, grew up in Southend, England, and joined Tottenhams academy system when he was 11. He made his first-team debut this season in the League Cup.Hes pushing. Hes getting there. Hes the future. Hes with the A team there all the time now, Klinsmann said.The best group of American youth players arguably was the team that finished fourth at the 1999 FIFA Under-17 World Championship, a group that included Landon Donovan, DaMarcus Beasley, Kyle Beckerman, Oguchi Onyewu and Bobby Convey.Klinsmann thinks a coach like Moyes or Thomas Tuchel at Dortmund impacts the level these young men reach quickly.You cannot copy-paste it into their environment, because you need a coach that believes in young players, Klinsmann said. You need a coach that says, `We play him maybe 20 games in the second team but them I see that talent, then I bring him up. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
