Syndicator Grant Morgan has experienced Group One success with Brazen Beau but he still gets a thrill with every win and in particular with veteran Harada Bay.Morgans Ontrack Thoroughbreds is looking for its third Brisbane winner in a week with Harada Bay at Doomben on Saturday after Savanna Amour won at Doomben and Cruising Speed at Eagle Farm.We have some very good horses racing at the moment. I have always said Savanna Amour and Cruising Speed are both stakes horses of the future, Morgan said.As with Harada Bay, Savanna Amour and Cruising Speed are trained by the Meagher training combination, John and his son Chris, at Eagle Farm.Harada Bay has been a mainstay of Morgans syndicate for several years and has always been consistent.He will be having his 47th start in the Open Hcp (1350m) as he begins his ninth campaign.Harada Bay has won eight races and been placed a further 16 times for $425,180 prize money.The gelding has started in stakes race seven times for only one second but Morgan hopes he might be a force in the summer features.Harada Bays best effort was a short head second in the 2015 Listed Sale Cup during a visit to Victoria.He won twice during the Brisbane winter and was a good third in the Rockhampton Cup.He hasnt had much luck in his career and has probably just been below stakes company. But he has been good for us and now he is a seven-year-old there is still a bit of life left in him, Morgan said.I wouldnt be shocked if he ran a very good race first-up as he has won three times when fresh.James Orman will ride Harada Bay and hopes to keep up his good strike rate with Morgan and the Meagher training team.The Meaghers have a big wraps on Jim and he has had plenty of luck for us, Morgan said.Hunter Strickland Jersey . SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. Nationals Jerseys 2020 . Bjorn, who had a 36-hole total of 8-under 134, made a testing six-foot putt to save par on the 16th and a birdie on the 17th before bogeying the final hole after a misjudged approach shot. American Kevin Streelman was in second place after shooting a 69. https://www.cheapnationals.com/967r-wander-suero-jersey-nationals.html . The 31-year-old Spain midfielder hasnt played since Madrid lost in the Copa del Rey final to Atletico Madrid in May due to back and foot injuries. Max Scherzer Nationals Jersey . R.J. Umberger scored twice to lead the Blue Jackets to a franchise-record for consecutive wins with a 5-3 victory Tuesday night over the Los Angeles Kings. Aaron Barrett Jersey . The CFLs leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play. The New Westminster, B.C., native plowed three yards into the end zone for the last score of a heated, see-saw battle between the two teams with the best records in the CFL.I walked up to him confidently.It was last year and, having been placed on injured reserve by the Texans, running back Arian Foster was visiting ESPN for the weekend, appearing on some of our shows and then, later that Sunday, sticking around to watch the games in the famed War Room here at ESPN.I wanted to introduce myself.I had no idea if Foster knew who I was or what I did, but I did know how he felt about fantasy football.In late August of 2011, Foster was one of the first players drafted in every fantasy league. Then he tweaked his hamstring. In a tweet that has since been deleted (but written about a lot), Foster wrote:Those sincerely concerned, Im doing OK & plan to B back by opening day. 4 those worried abt your fantasy team, u ppl are sick.My reaction at the time then was the same as it is now. Mostly disappointment in how a small but very vocal minority of fantasy players had behaved so callously on social media to prompt that reaction from Arian. While we care deeply about injuries to players and our fantasy teams, players should not be concerned with it at all. Foster was worried only about his health and helping the Texans win football games and rightfully so.The tweet got a ton of attention and Foster was one of the first guys I remember to be willing to call out fantasy players boorish behavior. Foster was 100 percent right in his message and Ive given a lot of interviews over the years about this subject. My response is always the same. Its like driving on the highway. Most people are normal, respectful, good drivers. But theres always one jerk thats going too fast, cutting people off, acting dangerous and then flipping you the bird.Thats the internet, and specifically, fantasy football twitter. Most people that play are normal, respectful and upon seeing the news, just wish Foster (or any player) a speedy recovery. But a small percentage lose all sense of perspective and it paints all of us in a poor light.He put it best in a follow-up tweet, saying I know opinions are usually cement. But, I love all my fans. My quarrel is with people who value a digital game over a humans health. #loveI have no issue with that statement at all and I agree with it. I appreciated Foster fighting back, so to speak, and shining a light on that so we could address it and say that those fans dont speak for a majority of us.Frankly, I appreciated a helluva lot about Foster. From 2010-2012, he was the best running back in fantasy football, scoring 799 points (Adrian Peterson was a distant second with 710 points. Over those three years, Foster topped the league in carries and rushing touchdowns, ranked third in receiving yards and receiving scores. He finishes his career with a 4.45 yards per carry average, including the playoffs. He also retires with a perfect passing record: 1-for-1 for a touchdown.On a personal level, I remember Fosters rookie year. I had liked what I had seen out of him, first mentioning him as a deep sleeper and then touting him hard as a start in Week 15. Foster fumbled on his second carry of the game and spent the rest of it on the sidelines. He killed a lot of fantasy owners that day and I got as much hate mail for that call as any Id ever made before. I mean, this was the fantasy playoffs.I stuck by him. Recommended him again the following week, an unproven rookie who had just killed his owners. Here I was going back to the well, saying yes, I would still start him in Week 16. I believe in this guys talent. I like the cut of his jib. Throw all the tomatoes you want, I understand the anger, but I am sticking by my guy.He came through with 19 for 97 and a touchdown. Week 17? Twenty-three touches for 145 total yards and two touchdowns.He was a huge sleeper for me the next year and, of course, he blew past his mid-round ADP to become one of the elite players in fantasy football for the next few years. It was a big call that worked out very well for me, especially as I was still fairly new to ESPN and its audience, and fantasy football wasnt nearly as accepted or as widespread then as they is now. So I have always loved Arian Foster. And so, as he sat there, in the ESPN War Room watching football, I wanted to tell him all that, but I knew fantasy football was probably not the best way in.It didnt matter. Because as I strode confidently toward him, I knew exactly what I wanted to say and I knew that we would have common ground.Hey Arian?He turned around. I offered my hand and he took it.Just want to introduce myself. Matthew Berry. And I wanted to thank you.Foster looked at me intently as I continue.I hate Caillou too.You see, in 2014, Foster had tweeted this:I can tolerate most of these kid shows, but caillou is unbearable. Theres no plot and the animation is avg. Cant take it.- Feeno (@ArianFoster) March 26, 2014I dont know that I have ever loved anything an athlete has tweeted more than this. Have you ever seen Caillou? This is the worst childrens show ever made. There, I said it.This is not me railing against kids shows. I actually love childrens shows. Because of my job and how much I have to interact with the public, I live in a world of cynicism and snark. So I love escaping all that with the simple positivity of kids shows and watching the faces of my daughters as they have been enraptured over the years by a talking backpack, a sponge that lives in the sea, a pig with a British accent, a hilariously weird buddy comedy between a pickle and a peanut and all the different variations of super heroes, whether its talking monster trucks, talking animals or kids in their pajamas. My only demand for childrens programming is that I want them to be either educational, or to teach good values, or at the very least, to be entertaining. And my daughters have to like it. Its not a high bar, but it is a bar. And were on the same page, my daughters and I ... except for Caillou, which is awful.A quick Google search of a very specific Caillou sucks returns over 91,000 entries. Have you ever watched this show? He is a whiny, spoiled, bratty kid who is neither interesting nor redeeming in any way shape or form. Caillou always gets what he wants by whining and my kids love this dumb show and I have had to forbid it because they were learning you can get what you want by whining. I dont care if a show is bad, just dont be dangerous! This show is dangerous. If you take one thing away from my column this entire year its dont let your kids watch Caillou. Yes, its weird that hes 4 years old and bald. And he only wears clothes of mismatched primary colors. But thats not my issue. I mean, Im on board with toys who talk as soon as humans leave the room. I dont question a 16-year-old mermaid wanting to run away from her dad to get married to a guy shes seen once and only spends three days with even though she cant talk. I am not a tough sell here.But Caillou has no logic. No reason for being. The parents look exactly like each other. What weird cousin-mating thing is going on here? Its like they have completely given up on life, both of them dumpy and dowdy. Rosie, the 2-year old sister, says nothing and just cries all the time and brings nothing to the table.Some episodes they live in the city, some they live in the suburbs. Sometimes the Grandmother is the narrator, sometimes its the cat, but only as a puppet because as narrator, hes puppet cat, but in the show, hes a normal cat and if you think its confusing to read, its even more confusing to watch.There is only one thing that is consistent about this poorly-drawn and even more poorly written show: Caillou whines. All the time. About everything.Foster shares my concern and hatred for this show. As soon as I mentioned Caillou, his eyes lit up and we spent a good five minutes talking about how terrible this show was.If Caillou has one redeeming quality, it brought Foster and I closer together.Thanks for everything, Arian Foster, you will be missed. From all of us in fantasy football, thanks for all you did and I wish you an awesome and Caillou-free retirement.And so, with or without Foster, the show must go on. Week 8 is upon us, and with it, six teams on bye. With the obligatory tip of the hat to researcher Thirsty Kyle Soppe, heres who I love, and who joins Caillou on the hate list, this week.Quarterbacks I love in Week 8Aaron Rodgers, Packers: I know, he has been inconsistent, but for the first time in his career, Aaron Rodgers has more than 40 pass attempts in three straight games. Thats what happens when you have no running game. Facing a Falcons defense that has given up 989 passing yards and eight passing scores in their three home games, Rodgers is an easy No. 1 overall this week and worth the price in daily.Drew Brees, Saints: But ... but ... Seattle! Right, I hear you, but just one issue with that. Seattle hasnt been Seattle recently. At least in pass defense. During the past four weeks, the Seahawks are 31st in the NFL against the pass on a per-game basis, giving up 342 yards to Arizona, 335 to Atlanta and 261 to the Jets (the Jets!) along with a bye week. Meanwhile, Brees is completing better than 67 percent of his passes at home this season and averaging more than 400 yards a game. In addition, he also has 11 scores against just two interceptions in those three home games. Brees is a top-five play for me this week.Russell Wilson, Seahawks: He has been brutal, mostly because hes not running very much these days, and hes clearly not 100 percent. Only two teams in the NFL have fewer sacks than the Saints, however, so expect Wilson to have all day to pick apart a Saints defense that wont have answers for Doug Baldwin or, ahem, Jimmy Graham. You know I think Brees moves the ball here, so expect Wilson to keep pace against a Saints team giving up 297 passing yards a game at home.Others receiving votes: Very quietly, the Bengals have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing QBs, and Kirk Cousins is averaging 38 pass attempts per game and has at least two total scores in four of the past five. ... Jameis Winston is certainly a roller coaster, but at home against a Raiders team that allows a league-high 302 passing yards a game, I like his chances at a top-12 day. ... Dak Prescott has at least 17 fantasy points in four straight games. At home, off the bye and with Dez Bryant back, I like his chances to make it five straight, even in a tough matchup. ... The truly desperate can take a look at Trevor Siemian, who didnt have a huge game last time he faced San Diego, but that was a Thursday night game. I like his chances this week against the Chargers, who have coughed up 275 QB yards or multiple passing scores in six of seven games this season.Quarterbacks I hate in Week 8Andy Dalton, Bengals: Dont look now, but since getting torched by the Steelers on opening night, Washington has played pretty good pass defense, allowing just four touchdown passes in its past six games. Meanwhile, Dalton has thrown for one touchdown or less in five of seven games this season and needed a Hail Mary to have a strong fantasy day against the Browns last week. Given Washingtons struggles against the run, and with Tyler Eifert still getting back into the swing of things, I expect a heavy run-game script here, limiting Daltons upside.Philip Rivers, Chargers: In his past four games against Denver, Rivers has finished as QB21, QB28, QB16 and then QB21 in Week 6 of this year. The game is in Denver, where the Broncos have given up just three touchdown passes in four games this season. No thanks.Marcus Mariota, Titans: A hot waiver-wire pickup last week, Mariota came crashing down to Earth last week, and I believe that continues. Theres going to be a lot of DeMarco Murray here. Its not as great a matchup as you think against the Jaguars, who have allowed just 13 fantasy points per game in their past four, including just three touchdown passes allowed. I expect a low-scoring, run-heavy game here, which makes Mariota a QB2 this week.Running backs I love in Week 8Jacquizz Rodgers, Buccaneers: With n
