DEL MAR, Calif. -- Ring Weekend did not need a fast pace to display his late rally in Saturdays $201,035 Seabiscuit Handicap on turf at Del Mar.Typically, Ring Weekend has benefited from quick rivals to help his closing style. On Saturday, Om and What a View set a moderate pace of 24.21 seconds for an opening quarter-mile and 48.48 for a half-mile. Ring Weekend was sixth behind the leaders on the backstretch before unleashing a wide rally that carried him to the front in the stretch.The wide rally gave Ring Weekend his second Grade 2 stakes win in his last four starts, preceded by a victory in the Bernard Baruch Handicap at Saratoga in September.The win gave trainer Graham Motion and jockey Drayden Van Dyke a sweep of the two stakes at Del Mar on Saturday. They teamed to win the Grade 3 Jimmy Durante Stakes at a mile on turf for 2-year-old fillies with Journey Home.Ring Weekend ($8) ran 1-1/16 miles on turf in 1:42.29.We knew he had that kick, said Alice Clapham, Motions assistant.Vyjack, the winner of the Grade 2 City of Hope Mile at Santa Anita in October, closed well to finish second by a head, a half-length in front of Om, the 3-2 favorite.Hunt finished fourth, followed by A Red Tie Day, What a View, Hi Happy, and Stylistics United.

During the athletes parade, the 23-strong Ukrainian team was represented by a lone flagbearer in an apparent protest at the presence of Russian troops in Ukraines Crimean peninsula. Newly installed Penrith CEO Corey Payne has launched a scathing critique of the scheduling for the 2017 Rugby League World Cup for ignoring western Sydney.Payne took aim at the NRL and RLWC organisers after Sydney was given just two fixtures in the draw for the tournament announced in Brisbane on Tuesday.World No.20 Lebanon will play Wayne Bennetts England on November 4 and co-hosts Australia on November 11 at ANZ Stadium next year.Christchurch, Wellington, Melbourne and Darwin will host quarter-finals before semi-finals move to Brisbane and Auckland.Brisbanes Suncorp Stadium will host the final.That brought a stinging rebuke from Payne, who penned a letter apologising to all Rugby League fans living in Western Sydney.I am extremely disappointed that we have been snubbed by the NRL for commercial reasons, Payne wrote.It doesnt make any sense to me that the only two RLWC games scheduled for Sydney will not be played in our backyard.It is a mind-boggling decision which makes me questionn the NRLs strategic agenda for Australias fastest growing economy and population.ddddddddddddPayne said the Panthers had moved to make their home Pepper Stadium an attractive venue to host a RLWC fixture, including hosting post-match functions, organising junior league gala days and school visits at their own expense and offering the venue at cost price.It is a real shame that the NRL cannot see the opportunity out here in the west, Payne continued.I
