On The Line’s injury casts pall on Klein’s final day as an owner

The former Chargers owner had five horses in three races in yesterday’s $10 million Breeders’ Cup extravaganza at Gulfstream Park. Only Open Mind, part of [Gene Klein]‘s three-filly entry in the Distaff, showed. On The Line, the favorite in the Sprint, sliced a tendon in his right foreleg coming out of the gate. His racing career is over, and infection could lead to him being destroyed. Klein had only praise for Bayakoa, the 5-year-old mare from Argentina who humbled the trio from his Del Rayo Racing Stables in the Distaff. “Our strategy was obvious,” he said. “We sent a rabbit after her. Wonders Delight is a fine filly. She gave it everything she had and Bayakoa went right by her. Bayakoa ran the last furlong in 11 and change; that’s amazing, after we ran her eyeballs out at the beginning of the race. Open Mind tried as hard as she could, but she ran out of real estate, and I don’t know that she could have caught Bayakoa if the race was another eighth of a mile, but she was coming.”

Jogging: how to keep the fun in your fitness program

Your cardiovascular system will adjust more quickly to your program than your muscles, tendons and ligaments. It would be wise to invest in good quality running shoes. They provide the support necessary to comfortable and safe jogging. If you do experience discomfort, see a podiatrist. Your discomfort may be alleviated by a special shoe insert or specific type of shoe. Whenever you jog or do any kind of physical activity, stretch and warm up before and cool down after. Here is an excellent stretch to do before and after jogging. It stretches the leg muscles as well as the chest and front area of the shoulders.

BIRD OUT OF HIS CAGE, COULD GIVE WINGS TO CELTIC TITLE HOPES

Dennis Johnson worked his way free on the perimeter and drilled a three-point shot with one second left to drill Golden State. [Larry] Bird, less than 72 hours away from having the tendons peeled away from the bone on his ankles, was one of the first players to congratulate Johnson. Without Bird, the Celtics struggled to a 42-40 record and were knocked out in the first round of the playoffs. Without basketball, Bird struggled to retain the cocksure attitude that has made him one of the finest NBA players to ever thread a defense with a no-look pass. It took longer than he expected, but Bird is back for the start of NBA’s 44th season, which opens Friday. Two bad ankles and a broken back – compliments of a nasty fall he took while working out with the Boston rookies over the summer – aren’t enough to keep the nine-time All-Star down. Bird is determined to regain his status as the league’s top forward and carry the Celtics back to the top of the Eastern Conference.

Celts hit bonanza without winning

One looks at the figures, it adds up to a relative bonanza. And the profit came despite the Celtics’ elimination in the first round of the playoffs, a series that saw Boston play only once in Boston Garden. It came despite their losingest season since 1978-79. And it came despite the absence of Larry Bird, who missed 76 games after undergoing surgery to remove bone spurs from both Achilles’ tendons. the guaranteed string of sellouts – 408 and counting – and lucrative local broadcast rights enabled the Celtics to survive quite handsomely. Those two established financial bases, plus the expiration of virtually all of its depreciable assets, combined to turn the worst year on the court in 10 years into one of the most profitable in the club’s 42-year history. For the season, the Celtics listed revenues of slightly more than $27.3 million, down marginally from the $28.4 million the year before. Expenses, despite the early playoff exit, were up over 1987-88 by a little more than $300,000 to $18 million.

PREP WRAPUP New-Look Carson Wins on Finesse; Erratic Banning Falls to Crenshaw

[Gene Vollnogle] says [Carson] will be more capable of making big plays when Tydus Winans, the Colts’ other starting wide receiver, returns to the lineup. Winans sat out his second consecutive game with a strained achilles tendon, but might return for Thursday’s 7 p.m. game with Banning. Quarterback-defensive back Zac Odom was perhaps Leuzinger’s most determined player. After allowing Hawthorne wide receiver Jermaine Jones to slip past him for a six-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter, Odom tripped and fell on the Hawthorne track. This led to some finger-pointing by Jones. Odom responded by leading Leuzinger to 16 unanswered points in the second quarter, including a two-yard touchdown run. [Hawthorne Coach Goy Casillas] pulled within 16-14 on a 39-yard run by tailback Chris Alexander in the third quarter, but Odom again gave Leuzinger a cushion with a 54-yard touchdown pass to receiver Donald Byrd.

34,093 Patrons Get Plenty to Cheer About at Santa Anita

Trainer Bill Spawr was fined $1,000 for medication violations on a pair of recent winners-Wanda Wiggins in the first race Oct. 15 and Nan’s Happie Star in the third four days later. The stewards’ ruling explained the fine was for more than one permitted medication-specifically, butazolidin and banamine. . . . Super Avie, a stakes-winner trained by Jacque Fulton, has been retired after injuring a tendon. The 4-year-old filly, who was claimed for $50,000, won the Songstress at Golden Gate last year and was second in the Grade I Hollywood Oaks. . . . Alwuhush, a Breeders’ Cup also-eligible who didn’t draw into the Turf, is scheduled to be flown to California Monday for next weekend’s Carleton F. Burke. . . . Warning Zone, Down Again and Davie’s Lamb top the field in the $111,500 Louis R. Rowan Handicap today. Others scheduled for the mile on the grass are Double Wedge, Baba Cool, Stylish Star, Sugarplum Gal, Collective Joy and To The Dancer.

On The Line Hurt in Sprint,Likely to Stud

The chestnut horse suffered a gash and nearly a cut tendon moments into the race. Sam Who, breaking from Post 12 in a 13-horse field, veered left out of the gate and initiated a chain of bumping. Black Tie Affair was forced into On The Line, apparently inflicting the four-inch gash. Ten Keys, claimed for $14,500 by owner Charles Linhoss of Alexandria in January 1987, won the $75,000 Find Handicap for the second year in a row at Laurel Race Course yesterday.

Costly First Win for Warriors / Lister Goes Down With Ankle Injury, May Miss Season

Not only did the Warriors continue to show worrisome signs of untidiness in their offensive schemes (they committed a season-high 33 turnovers), they also lost [Alton Lister] to an Achilles’ tendon injury midway through the third quarter. The loss of Lister would have been bad news at any time, but the fact that it happened with the Los Angeles Lakers on the Warriors’ immediate horizon (tomorrow night) made it all the more ominous. That squarely places big-time pressure on Blab and Manute Bol – but there’s a certain beauty in that, too. Neither Blab nor Bol handles the ball much in the Warriors’ motion offense, so the turnover factor might not change at all.

Lakers survive fight; Clippers KO’d LA suffers first loss as Golden State comes on strong with 118-94 victory

The Clippers’ backcourt could have used some help, though. Clippers guards Gary Grant (1 of 5 shooting for four points; six assists), [Reggie Williams] (2 of 6 for four points; three assists) and Carlton McKinney (0 of 6, one point) were unable to produce much under Golden State’s pressure. “They played a great game and we didn’t execute like we wanted to.” NOTES: The Benoit Benjamin talks are continuing without much news, except to say the overweight, 7-0 center has not accepted the Clippers’ offer. Word is that Benjamin prefers more in base salary than the incentives the club is offering. A club source said Benjamin could make much more than the $1 million he earned last season by attaining those incentives. … Golden State center Alton Lister strained his right Achilles’ tendon and Coach Don Nelson said he’ll probably be out at least six weeks. … On the presence of 7-7 Manute Bol, [Don Casey] said: “Bol stymies us. He gets in the way and just distorts things. We’re not really good outside shooters.”… Former Clippers forward Marques Johnson, making a comeback with the Warriors after suffering a neck injury 10 games into the 1986-87 season, played 12 minutes and scored three points. Johnson said he has seen enough improvement over a month to try to take his game to the next level. “I’m still trying to get my sharpness and timing to an acceptable level,” he said.
