Paul Nicholls retained his champion trainer title after saddling the second and the fourth in the bet365 Gold Cup. Nike Air Max 97 Herr Rea . Final standingsPaul Nicholls - £2,439,559 Willie Mullins - £2,341,7341805pm: Willie Mullins does get his Sandown win, but its all too little too late. McKinley wins the last race of the UK jumps season, pocketing his handler £18,768 and that will pay for the Vroum Vroum Mag fine and some.1740pm: A sixth place for Some Buckle in the 5.20 gets another £348 in the kitty for Nicholls ahead of the final race. Back to Vroum Vroum Mag and the title. Heres the thoughts of Mullins: We came over here to win the championship and we have had a fantastic reception. In the light of the Bet365 Gold Cup we cant win the championship and we are taking Vroum Vroum Mag home and she has a valuable couple of races to run in at Punchestown.She was only here for the championship and Mr (Rich) Ricci very kindly let me bring her over to run in a race of much less value. Now we will do what we were aiming to do all winter. I will probably get fined - theres no such thing as a free lunch.We have had a fantastic year. Im just sorry for punters who came to see Vroum Vroum Mag. But the championship was over and we had to take a different view.The stewards took a dim view of Vroum Vroum Mag being taken out, fining Mullins £1,000 and ruling he had shown a wilful disregard for the interests of racegoers and punters.1700pm: The bandwagon for Nicholls rolled on with Ptit Zig taking full advantage of Vroum Vroum Mags late defection to pocket another £28,475. For good measure, stablemate Silsol was second (£10,685) and also San Benedeto fifth (£1,340). So what started as a £53,000 plus lead can now be counted at a whopping £116,245.04.1650pm: More from a jubilant Nicholls: Tom (Jonason, assistant) is leaving today and he didnt want to leave with us getting beaten.Its great for the whole team, everybody involved - its not about me. Its a big team effort, always has been, always will be.Its been a tough season for lots of reasons, we had a bit of a flat spot and all sorts of gossip and rumours that things werent right, but you have to dig deep and keep going.Weve just kept trying to win as many races as we can. If you get in a position to do so, then great.He went on: Its been brilliant. I thought we had no chance after Aintree and I knew Willie would dig deep and keep finding plenty to run and we needed a few miracles. Vicente in the Scottish National last week gave us a big day and the others have been running well.The first one was special and this one is far and away the best, probably, weve had to fight and you dont want to give it up easily.When Kauto Star and Master Minded were winning, youd win the trainers championship by Christmas. Those horses carry you and possibly it doesnt have that much interest then, but the interest from the public and racing people in this has been good.Theres been a lot of pressure for all of us, but hopefully its been good for racing to get more interest in it.Willie is a fantastic trainer with fantastic horses, I have huge respect for him.1640pm: Maybe the gap wont change too much - Vroum Vroum Mag has been taken out of the Select Hurdle.1639pm: More money to be played for and the margin is likely to change, but after the efforts of Just A Par and Southfield Theatre (fourth, earning £7950), Nicholls took firm control by £75,745.04 and thats unassailable. Congratulations to all involved, in both camps.1635pm: Precise details of winning margin to come later, but £31,800 picked up by Just A Par for his second to The Young Master means its all over - Nicholls is confirmed as champion trainer once more. Swift bit of reaction from the Ditcheat maestro: To get Just A Par back from where he finished in the National (15th) - Harry (Cobden) gave him an awesome ride. Thats been the toughest one because of the ammunition weve had. Its been a big team effort. Its been brilliant for racing.1623pm: And PAUL NICHOLLS is Champion Trainer! Hes just beaten in the bet365 Gold Cup as The Young Master beats Just A Par, but with that second place and Southfield Theatres fourth he cant be caught now.350pm: Wow. That was sensational by Sprinter Sacre. Un De Sceaux second and Dodging Bullets third, but really the winner was in another parish. After some totting up, Mullins now trails by £35,995.04, so its still all to play for as Mullins can still look forward to Vroum Vroum Mag. But before that its the big one of the day, the bet365 Gold Cup. Nicholls is represented by Southfield Theatre and Just A Par. Mullins needs big efforts from Sir Des Champs and Measureofmydreams.325pm: Sounds like Mullins might have thought that was the one, too: It would have been nice to win, but we didnt. Well have to wait and see. Could be a game changer next - the bet365 Celebration Chase (£125,000). Nicholls going with former two-mile king Dodging Bullets plus Solar Impulse and Ulck Du Lin. Mullins sends Un De Sceaux into battle - but Cheltenham conqueror Sprinter Sacre looms large.315pm: Another thriller - and another race without a Nicholls/Mullins winner. Mullins comes closest as Valseur Lido just finds old stager Menorah too strong - ridden appropriately by newly-crowned champion jockey Richard Johnson. With placed horses for both trainers, its a net gain of £4,665 for the Irish champion. But that might have been a big chance gone. Regardless, bringing the pennies into play, the gap is now down to £44,307.54.240pm: Next up is the bet365 Oaksey Chase, worth a total of £50,000. For Nicholls its Saphir Du Rheu, Rocky Creek and Wonderful Charm. Mullins has Valseur Lido and Ballycasey. The testing nature of Sandown might play to the strengths of Valseur Lido and he looks well treated by the conditions of the race. First prize is £28,475.235pm: If thats a sign of things to come it will be exciting - no winner for the big two as Wolf Of Windlesham takes top spot, but hes flanked on either side by Tommy Silver and Voix Du Reve.Voix Du Reve gets the nod for second, picking up £9,240, with Tommy Silver third for £4,620.That makes it a reduced lead of £48,972 for Nicholls. Game on?2pm: The battle for the National Hunt trainers championship has come right down to the final afternoon of the season at Sandown, with Paul Nicholls (£2,329,252) holding an advantage of £53,592 over Willie Mullins (£2,275,660).The latter is bidding to become the first Irish-based trainer since the great Vincent OBrien in 1953-4 to lift the British title and has a host of major chances, although he might need them all to win.Getting things under way at 2.20 is the bet365 Juvenile Handicap Hurdle, worth £50,000 and in which Nicholls fields Tommy Silver and Mullins calls on Voix Du Reve, who looked sure to go close when coming to grief at the final flight in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham. The final total for Nicholls stood at #2,439,560.26 to Mullins on #2,341,735.22 - meaning the margin of victory ended at #97,825.04.Shall we do it all again next year, gents?

Louis Blues have returned to the top spot in the TSN.SURREY, B.C. - Jordan Rodgers didnt know much about Canadian football before joining the B.C. Lions, so he did what most people do when they need information fast.I started looking up some rules on Google and caught a couple games on TV, he said after Tuesdays workout. But theres so many intricacies you wont find on Wikipedia.While players joining CFL practice rosters in October dont usually cause much of a ripple, Rodgers has — mostly because of his last name.The younger brother of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has travelled north to give the CFL a shot in an attempt to kickstart his career after failing to stick with three separate NFL teams over the last two seasons.Jordan Rodgers said it hasnt always been easy trying to carve out a niche while playing the same position as a sibling with a Super Bowl ring, among numerous other honours, but he has come to see it as a positive.I think early in my development as a quarterback, before I ever got a Division I college offer or anything, my brother was in the spotlight, first-round draft pick. People expected me to be him but I was underdeveloped, undersized, unrecruited ... so it was tough at that point, said the 26-year-old. But Im confident in who I am, Im confident in what Ive done with my career and where its going. It doesnt bother me anymore. If anything its been a blessing — unbelievable resource to have to be able to pick up the phone and talk to him.Rodgers played at Butte Community College — same as Aaron — after high school before starring at Vanderbilt University for two seasons.He credits his last name with helping him get noticed at times, but added that doesnt count for much in the end. Regardless of if my play was sufficient or not, it got me on the radar. I think people recognize that last name and any press is good press, said Rodgers. Having my name kind of pop out on a page more so than other people helped in recruiting, helped in a lot of different areas. But when it comes down to it and youre talking about professional football — you can either play or you cant. They dont care what your last name is at the end of the day.Lions head coach Mike Benevides said Rodgers — who is the No. 5 quarterback at the moment and is really only here to get a look ahead of next season — has been on the teams radar for a while.I think the biggest thing our scouting department has always been really impressed with is just poise, his demeanour, his arm strength and his football IQ, said Benevides. I think right now you see in two days hes really gravitating to the playbook, hes doing everyything he can to try and get himself prepared. Nike Air Max 270 Rabatt. It looks like he has a passion for the game.And obviously theres some really good bloodlines.The six-foot-one, 212-pound Rodgers prides himself on being a student of the game and having quick feet — two crucial attributes for CFL quarterbacks.Ive had the liberty of having a lot of control in the offences Ive been a part of because I get the game pretty well and I pick things up fast. I think Im going to be able to pick this up fast, he said. Its obviously a lot different than anything Ive ever seen before. The mobility, I think, is huge — the fields bigger. Youve got more space when things break down to get outside the pocket and make plays.Thats something Ive been good at my entire career so I think that translates well to this game.One of the lessons Rodgers has learned from his famous brother is how to deal with setbacks. Before achieving NFL success, Aaron Rodgers tumbled to the end of the first round of the draft, before being tasked with replacing Brett Favre in Green Bay.Hes handled the spotlight as well as anybody Ive ever seen, said Jordan Rodgers. I really respect him for how humble and how grounded hes stayed through a lot of the adversity hes had to go through. Its a great example to have.There have been some growing pains the first couple of days with B.C. as the Chico, Calif., native tries to pick the brains of fellow quarterbacks Kevin Glenn, Travis Lulay (who is still rehabbing a shoulder injury), John Beck and Travis Partridge.Today was night and day different than it was yesterday. I was swimming in it yesterday, said Rodgers. I was asking a lot of questions today but got a lot of the concepts, at least familiar with them. I havent mastered anything yet ... some of the rules, looking at some of the coverages on film, just little thing Im going to be picking up over the next couple of weeks.Those next couple of weeks — beginning with a road game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (6-10) on Saturday — will also be critical for the Lions (8-7), who are coming off a bye and need one more victory to secure a playoff spot.Were running out of games here and our goal is always to get a ticket to the dance, said Benevides. Thats the first objective.While the NFL remains the long-term goal for Rodgers, hes also grateful for the chances hes been given with the Lions.Its better to be playing, wherever that is, than not playing, he said. I think this is a great brand of football, its interesting and Im going to be enjoy every moment Im up here because Im back on the field. ' ' '
