ARCADIA, Calif. -- Tamarkuz was fed a steady diet of one-turn races throughout his career, but in his 20th and perhaps final career start, he successfully stretched out around two turns to win the $1 million Breeders Cup Dirt Mile on Friday at Santa Anita, scoring an 11-1 upset over the likes of Dortmund, Gun Runner, and Runhappy.The win was his first in a Grade 1 race, an important milestone for a 6-year-old horse owned by Sheikh Hamdans Shadwell Stable, where he will go to stud, perhaps quite soon. Though his connections wouldnt yet say he was retired, they acknowledged that this win will take Tamarkuz to a new level when we take him home, said Joe DeSantis, the assistant racing manager for Shadwell.Tamarkuz was always intended for the Dirt Mile. Shadwell also had pre-entered Frosted in the Dirt Mile, as well as the Classic, and ended up putting him in the Classic on Saturday. Both are trained by Kiaran McLaughlin.Now all the media knows why Frosted is running in the Classic. We knew we had a horse who would win the Dirt Mile, McLaughlin said, laughing.Tamarkuz ($25.80), with Mike Smith aboard, rallied into a hot pace and drew away for a 3-1/2-length victory in the two-turn mile. Gun Runner held on for second by a neck over Accelerate.The races disappointments were its early leaders. Dortmund, sent off at 3-5, pressed the pace of Runhappy but tired in the lane and was fourth. Runhappy, last years champion male sprinter, set a quick pace for a half-mile but began a steady fade on the final turn and finished eighth in the nine-horse field, his second straight disappointing race since returning from a nine-month layoff.Tamarkuz was fractious behind the gate before the start, then raced wide while toward the rear for the first part of the race. The pace, though, was to his liking -- an opening quarter in 22.45 seconds, a half in 45.37. He closed steadily at the weary front-runners, got the lead at midstretch and was never in danger thereafter. He completed one mile on the fast main track in 1:35.72.This is so satisfying, DeSantis said. This is what he needed -- a two-turn race with speed.Gun Runner pressed the pace while three wide, got the best of Dortmund and Runhappy, but could not stave off Tamarkuz. Dortmund seemed to show the effects of three straight losses against California Chrome prior to this race.Tamarkuz, by Speightstown, was bred in Kentucky by John Gunther, was purchased as a yearling for $325,000 by Shadwell, and began his career in Britain before heading to Dubai and then last year to the United States. In six prior starts for McLaughlin, he had never won, but in his last two starts, he had finished second in the seven-furlong Forego to A. P. Indian and second in the one-turn-mile Kelso to Anchor Down.Hed been second, fourth, a little unlucky, McLaughlin said. We knew he had potential.We thought he was sitting on a big effort, DeSantis said.The victory was the third in a Breeders Cup race for McLaughlin, all with horses owned by Shadwell.Its a great honor. Its fabulous to be part of that team, McLaughlin said.Tamarkuz has now won eight times in 20 starts, and the $550,000 he earned on Friday increased his career earnings to $1,840,444.Hes very well balanced. He should make a nice stallion, McLaughlin said.DeSantis said his boss, Rick Nichols, and Sheikh Hamdan would decide whether Tamarkuz races again. If this was his final start, it was quite the curtain call. Yeezy Boost 350 Shop Online Italia .

TAMPA, Fla. -- Roberto Aguayo cant imagine feeling any more pressure than he already puts on himself.Tampa Bays rookie kicker welcomes heightened expectations that come with being selected high in the NFL draft, confident he has what it takes physically -- and mentally -- to prove the Tampa Bay Buccaneers made the right call in bucking conventional football wisdom to pick him late in the second round at No. 59 overall.Aguayo was the most accurate kicker in NCAA history in three seasons at Florida State. He never misfired on a field-goal try inside 40 yards and made all 198 of his extra-point attempts.He was 94-for-94 on extra points in helping quarterback Jameis Winston win a national championship at FSU three years ago and is also the first specialist to be drafted in the second round or higher since the New York Jets selected Mike Nugent 47th overall in 2005.So when he started his pro career by hooking an extra point off the left upright during last weeks preseason loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Aguayo and coach Dirk Koetter were prepared for a barrage of questions.Everyone at the professional level, even the great ones, stuff happens to them. After the game I reminded myself of how sometimes Tiger (Woods), or a lot of professionals on the first tee, just whiff it and get a double (bogey). Its just part of bouncing back, said Aguayo, who later made a 38-yard field goal.I walked off the field and thought about it. For a couple of plays, youre mad about it, like anyone would be. But its just adjusting what you did wrong and fixing it, the kicker added. I went out there and hit the next one. Obviously, those cant happen. Thats why we practice, trying to fix things like that and move on.Koetter, who agreed with general manager Jason Lichts decision to trade a fourth-round draft choice to move up 15 spots to ensure getting Aguayo, made light of the miss while also expressing confidence in a player hes banking on to make a difference as the Bucs attempt to improve on last seasons 6-10 record.Youve got to take it for what its worth. We knew there was going to be a huge outcry whenever he missed his first kick. So he actually missed that on purpose, so we could just get it over with, Koetter joked.I think this guy is tough-minded. Hes showed uup well in practice every day.dddddddddddd Thats what you go by, the coach added. Hes played in big games in big stadiums before. I dont know if he was nervous or not. He missed it, and I didnt think he kicked off particularly well, either. ... But Im still glad hes our kicker.Aguayo insists he doesnt feel an added burden to perform well because of where he was drafted. He was the only kicker selected in this years draft and joins an offense that had difficulty scoring despite ranking fifth in the NFL in yards gained.The 22-year-old grew up in Lake County Florida near Orlando, practicing for hours in the familys backyard, where his father attached plumbing pipe to the top of a soccer goal, forming makeshift uprights.Aguayo remembers treating every kick as if the Super Bowl was on the line.No matter what, growing up kicking in my backyard or practicing by myself, theres always been that same pressure on myself. I put it on me to get better and be great, he said.When there are people around or watching, I dont really think about it too much because I already put that on myself when I was a young child. ... It doesnt really faze me, Aguayo added, I just go out there, I know what Ive got to do, and I play to my expectations.The previous time the Bucs selected a kicker early in the draft was 1999, when they took Martin Gramatica in the third round.Aguayo has talked to him and other retired NFL kickers, including Ryan Longwell, about making the transition from college to the pros.One thing these older guys keep telling me is: `Hey, its a long season, make sure you keep your body right, lifting weights and everything, Aguayo said, adding the only goal hes set for himself as a rookie is doing whatever he can to help the team end a stretch of eight consecutive seasons without a playoff berth.You think of those goals of being a Pro Bowler and all that, but at the end of the day what you do every day will lead up to it, he added. I just want to perfect my craft, keep on doing what Im doing, pay attention to the details and ... and itll all tally up in the end.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
