Stephen Baster will be out to improve on his stakes race success over the spring carnival with a good book of rides at Sandown.Since the racing season began in August, Baster has ridden eight winners of which four have come in stakes races.The biggest came last week with victory on Awesome Rock in the Group One Emirates Stakes at Flemington.At Sandown on Saturday Baster has five stakes-race rides for a variety of trainers, including Godolphins Secret Number in the days feature, the Group Two Zipping Classic (2400m).Baster rode Secret Number in the Melbourne Cup and set a solid tempo, but the horse was beaten a long way out and finished 21st behind Almandin.But Baster is expecting improvement from the Saeed bin Suroor-trained stayer on Saturday.I dont think he got the two miles, Baster said.I also think the track was a little bit too firm underneath for him.Godolphin will also be represented by the bin Suroor-trained Beautiful Romance who finished seventh in the Melbourne Cup.Baster said he had not been in contact with the stable since he rode Secret Number in the Cup but planned to touch base with the trainer on Friday night.The jockey has hopes the Sandown track wont be as firm as Flemington.The Sandown Hillside track, the venue for Saturdays meeting, hasnt been raced on since August and track manager Tim Bailey says the surface has not looked in better condition since undergoing a rebuild three years ago.Bailey applied 5mm of irrigation on Friday morning with the weather forecast for anywhere between 2mm and 20mm from midnight.The Michael Bell-trained Big Orange is the third international horse in Saturdays weight-for-age contest with the three out to join (2011) and Au Revoir (2014) as previous international winners.Who Shot Thebarman is chasing successive Zipping Classic wins after recording a seven length win over Tall Ship last year.The Chris Waller-trained stayer was the $3 favourite on Friday ahead of So Si Bon at $4.80 with Big Orange and Almoonqith at $5.Secret Number was rated a $6 chance.Sean Murphy Jersey . -- In one brief spurt, Brazil turned a close game into a rout and proved again it will be a strong World Cup favourite.

Malkin got tangled up with Detroits Luke Glendening early in the third period and his left skate took the brunt of collision with the boards behind Pittsburghs net.ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Milwaukee Brewers hoped they were getting a stolen base threat when they acquired infielder Jonathan Villar from the Houston Astros last November. It turns out they got a budding power hitter, too.Villar, the major leagues stolen base leader, hit his 17th and 18th home runs and had a career-high five RBI and Matt Garza beat his former team as the Brewers defeated the Texas Rangers 8-3 on Monday night.I dont think about that, Villar said of hitting homers. I need a base hit because I need more stolen bases.Villar has 59 steals, one more than the Cincinnati Reds Billy Hamilton. He would become the franchises third stolen base champion, joining Scott Podsednik in 2004 (70) and Tommy Harper in 1969 with the original expansion Seattle Pilots (a club-record 73).Villar said manager Craig Counsell has told him he could develop into a 30-homer hitter.Im surprised by how much weve already seen it, Counsell of Villars power. What hes doing is rare, for sure.Villar also doubled. He went into Mondays game having gone only 3 for 35 in his previous 11 games.The Brewers clinched fourth place in the NL Central.Garza (6-8) allowed three runs and six hits in six innings. He spent the second half of the 2013 season with Texas as a rental acquisition from the Chicago Cubs, going 4-5 with a 4.38 ERA. It was Garzas first appearance against Texas since 2010.I take it as this is our playoff right here, said Garza, who won a must-win Game 3 in the Division Series for the Tampa Bay Rays in his most recent appearance at Globe Life Park in 2010. Theyre a good team, and you want to go out there and perform.FAMILIAR FACES IN A DIFFERENT PLACEMondays game was a reunion for former Brewers Jonathan Lucroy and Jeremy Jeffress, who were traded to Texas on Aug. 1.Lucroy, who played 6 1/2 seasons for Milwaukee, went 1 for 4. Jeffress made his first appearance since being reinstated Friday from the restricted list. He was arrested on a drunken driving charge in Dallas on Aug.dddddddddddd 26 and was sent to an inpatient rehab clinic. Jeffress retired all four batters he faced.Getting this one out of the way is going to be pretty good for the next one, Jeffress said.He deserves to enjoy whats going on here and deserves to be a part of it, Counsell said. And hes going to help them.IGNORE THE MAN IN THE LOUD JACKETCounsell (Notre Dame graduate) will pay off a friendly college football wager with pitcher Corey Knebel (University of Texas) on the teams final flight of the season, from Texas to Colorado late Wednesday night. Hell wear Knebels burnt-orange college letter jacket.Counsell said when his Irish beat the Longhorns in September 2015, Knebel and fellow Longhorn Taylor Jungmann had to wear one-piece Notre Dame pajamas on the team flight from Milwaukee to Miami.This is payback, Knebel said.SHORT HOPSThe Brewers scored in every inning in which their leadoff hitter reached and didnt score in innings in which the leadoff man failed to get on. . Milwaukee, an AL team from 1969 through 1997, is 11-7 against AL teams this season.TRAINERS ROOMBrewers: Jungmann wont pitch again this season after suffering a hip abductor during his start last Saturday night, which was his first in the majors since April.Rangers: OF Shin-Soo Choo (left forearm fracture) had three hits and two walks batting in all seven innings of an Instructional League game on Monday. Manager Jeff Banister said he hopes to get RHP Tony Barnette (strained oblique), who last pitched on Sept. 4, into Tuesday nights game.UP NEXTBrewers RHP Jimmy Nelson (8-15) leads the NL in losses after getting off to a 3-1 start. Rangers RHP A.J. Griffin (7-4) lasted only 1 2/3 innings last Tuesday in Anaheim, allowing three hits and four walks. If Texas elects to go with four starters in the Division Series, Griffin is a contender for the final slot. ' ' '
