Check out Richard Faheys horse-by-horse Saturday guide, including Arctic Feeling who goes for a third course win at Epsom. Morgan Brian USA Jersey . We have three runners at Epsom on Saturday. Dark Devil steps up in trip for the Investec Private Banking Stakes which we think will suit, even though his pedigree would suggest otherwise. Hes a galloper who ran well from the back at Chester on his reappearance. He needs to be on his A-game here to be competitive and could have been better drawn in nine.Arctic Feeling won the Investec Asset Management Stakes three years ago with Jimmy Quinn in the saddle and they combine again this year. The problem is they have a stone more to carry this time around but the horse continues to do us proud. George Bowen is our other runner but hes out in stall 11 which may not help. The more rain the better for him and if its soft ground Id give him a big chance.Desire runs in the racinguk.com Handicap at Musselburgh and was entitled to need her first run back at Hamilton. Shes well drawn in one here has the ability to run a big race.The Racing UK Profits Returned To Racing Handicap is a competitive race and Back To Bond needs to step up to win it but it was great to see him get his head back in front at Wetherby last time. He ran well in some decent nurseries last season and is another who is well drawn so he could go close.Kocollada isnt very big but is genuine. We knew shed run well first time and she duly won at Thirsk and the ebfstallions.com Edinburgh Castle Stakes is a fact-finding mission with her. We want to know whether shes good enough to go to Royal Ascot. We dont do too much with her at home so well learn plenty here but we know she goes to Scotland very fit and very well.Dacoity showed a lot of speed when running a good race from a bad draw at Nottingham last time. He has Kevin Ryans Futoon to beat in the Ladbrokes Maiden Stakes at Doncaster but the drop in trip should suit my fellow.I was disappointed with High Baroques reappearance at Newmarket. Im now hoping he needed it more than we thought as hes a horse I was looking forward to this year. He steps up to a mile-and-a-half in the Ladbrokes Handicap which Ive been looking forward to doing so Im hoping for a better run.Novinophobia hasnt raised a gallop all year and we dont know why. Hes been very disappointing but well keep going and try to work him out starting in the Track Your Football Acca With Ladbrokes Handicap.Our final two runners are in the Nestle/EBF Stallions Novice Stakes at Newcastle. The same comments apply to both Vatican Hill and Geego. Theyve had a run and are probably long-term projects that need to be in handicaps. I cant see either winning maidens but they try hard and are ready for another run. Also See: Live results service Full racecards Get Sky Sports Hope Solo USA Jersey . I wondered how NHL coaches would feel about a playoff schedule that allowed them to open a best-of-seven series on the road, which many claim to favour, yet still gave them the precious home-ice edge for a seventh game. Megan Rapinoe Jersey . 5 Trade Deadline is drawing closer and teams will be deciding on whether to buy or sell. 403 Forbidden . - Dominika Cibulkova erased three match points in the second set Wednesday and beat Agnieszka Radwanska 3-6, 7-6 (5), 6-3 in the quarterfinals of the Sony Open.Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca. Kerry, With just over a second left in the game, the L.A. Kings puck got behind Henrik Lundqvist. Derek Stepan got in, swatting the puck back under Lundqvist with his glove. How is that not a penalty shot??? Andrew Sullivan,London, ON Andrew: Your question relates to rule 67.4 - "If a defending player, except a goalkeeper, while play is in progress, falls on the puck, holds the puck, picks up the puck, or gathers the puck into his body or hands from the ice in the goal crease area, the play shall be stopped immediately and a penalty shot shall be awarded to the non-offending team." In the application and enforcement of this rule it important to note that a player (in this case Derek Stepan) is allowed to push the puck from within (video link) the goal crease with his glove so long as he does not cover the puck (*hand over top). Additionally, once the puck has been "pushed," it is allowed to legally pass with continuous motion beneath and beyond the body of Stepan. The puck was contacted twice by the glove hand of Stepan. The first time, to bat it forward from the goal line which caused the puck to ddeflect off Lundqvist and back toward the shin pad of Stepan who had assumed a position on both knees. Alyssa Naeher USA Jersey. The Ranger player then altered his body position away from the puck and swept it under the equipment of Lundqvist with the cuff of his left glove. At no time did Derek Stepan place his hand over the puck or cover it with his body. That is the reason Referee Wes McCauley did not award a penalty shot to the LA Kings but instead correctly ruled the play dead when the puck came to rest under the blocker of Henrik Lundqvist. The front view replay angle shown one time on NBC demonstrates the puck in continuous motion and at no time covered by Stepan. I cant say enough about the exceptional positioning that Referee McCauley demonstrated on this play. With Tanner Pearson and Marc Staal crashing near the ref along the goal line and outside the crease McCauley quickly blew past the fallen players to attack the net below the goal line. The referee almost stuck his nose into the netting behind the cage to clearly observe the entire proceedings on the puck. The focus, concentration and intensity demonstrated by referee Wes McCauley matched that of the players in this pressure packed moment. McCauley gave not a drop of sweat less than the game required of him. NFL Jerseys China cheap jerseys ' ' '
