Mayor De Blasio Mends Fences With Police At Columbus Day Event - Video

ITS a sure sign that were in the depths of autumn when Wetherby re-opens its doors for the start of its major jumps campaign and todays curtain-raiser at the popular Yorkshire course is staged in support of Spinal Research and embraces a seven-race card.

One of the highlights is the 10,000 Bobby Renton Handicap Chase, in which racegoers may be drawn towards the peerless Tony McCoy aboard Jonjo ONeills Foundation Man, or the James Reveley-ridden Shadrack, winner of his last two races.

Both those horses, however, are reappearing after a break and their fitness has to be taken on trust. Perhaps a better proposition may be Alderbrook Lad, trained at Middleham by Micky Hammond and a horse who ran well to finish third over hurdles at Sedgefield recently.

Now back over the major obstacles, Alderbrook Lad, a previous winner on this course, has scored four times over fences. He is napped to add to his tally this afternoon with Joe Colliverin the saddle.

The 10,000 racing UK Anywhere Available Now Handicap Chase over two miles is the joint most valuable race on the card and offers Toledo Gold the chance to follow up his recent Hexham win, where he made all the running.

The handicapper has raised the Maurice Barnes-trained gelding 7lb for that success, but Barnes has engaged the services of 7lb claimer Stephen Mulqueen to erase that rise. He could take plenty of catching.

The Spinal Research Rachel Wright Memorial Hurdle - named in honour of the lady from Stamford Bridge who was such a driving force behind this charity day for many years - is a head-scratcher for punters. Most of the runners are Flat recruits making their jumping debuts, but at least Final Countdown has had the benefit of a recent outing over hurdles.

John Quinns charge was not totally convincing before finishing second at Bangor, but that experience should have had a beneficial effect on this dual-Flat winner.

Also worth noting at Wetherby are the fit from the Flat Goodwood Mirage (3.25), another of McCoys mounts, and recent winner Orbys Man (4.35), from the Charlie Longsdon stable which was successful on this card 12 months ago.

On the Flat at Nottingham, Hazelrigg makes appeal in the Racing Specials At 32RedSport.com Handicap over five furlongs.

NEW YORK SPORTS HEADLINES

Get our weekday morning briefs direct from the WFAN newsroom

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) The incredible shrinking stadium is about to get another makeover.

The chronically run-starved New York Mets are moving in the fences again at Citi Field, according to multiple reports.

The team made a round of changes prior to the 2012 season, shortening the dimensions throughout and most notably nixing the Great Wall of Flushing in left field.

This time, the walls will reportedly be brought in only in the areas of center and right field. Work is slated to begin after the World Series, the New York Daily News reported.

Its not about tailoring the ballpark to a particular player or a particular composition of team, general manager Sandy Alderson said last month, acknowledging the possibility of new dimensions at the cavernous ballpark. Its about making Citi Field as fan-friendly and as exciting as we can make it.

The hope is that altered fences and a new hitting coach will boost the power numbers in Flushing, especially for stars David Wright and Curtis Granderson. The Mets hit seven fewer home runs at home (59) than on the road (66) in 2014. They also suffered a dip in average (.224 to .242) and runs (286 to 343).

On the flip side, could the the Mets a team built around young pitchers Matt Harvey, Zack Wheeler, Jacob deGrom and the emerging Noah Syndergaard be sabotaging themselves without even knowing it?

Manager Terry Collins doesnt think so.

Reports: Mets To Move In Fences Once More At Citi Field

updated 9:57 AM EDT, Wed October 15, 2014

Washington (CNN) -- Rep. Paul Ryan wants you to know, he steps "right up to the plate."

That's according to a new video ad that hit YouTube on Tuesday -- no pun intended.

"Notice how my kids hit," Ryan says over a clip of him throwing an underhand pitch to two children who smack the baseball for what is undoubtedly a base hit. "They step right up to the plate. That's what I've tried to do in Congress -- step up to the plate."

But that last line comes with a smiling Ryan knocking one out of the park. He must have since he doesn't make a run towards first.

"When it comes to protecting taxpayers' money, I will always step up to the plate because you deserve a government that respects your hard work," Ryan declares.

The 2012 Republican vice presidential pick didn't snag the No. 2 post, but he easily won reelection that year in the Wisconsin district he's represented since 1998.

But the ad might have a broader audience than voters in his home district. Ryan won't say yet whether he'll make a run for the White House in 2016, but he is widely viewed as a potential contender for his party's nomination.

The Citi Field fences are being moved in for the second time in three years. (USATSI)

The Mets are bringing in the walls at Citi Field again. Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports the team will bring in the walls in right field and right-center field this offseason. Construction could begin within three weeks.

It's unclear just how much the walls will be moved in. Following the 2011 season, the Mets brought the walls in from 371 feet to 358 feet in left field, from 415 feet to 390 feet in right-center, and from 378 feet to 375 feet in right field. It is 408 feet to center field and that has not been changed.

Last month GM Sandy Alderson said the team was considering bringing in the fences a second time to make "Citi Field as fan-friendly and as exciting as we can make it." He added it is "not about tailoring the ballpark to a particular player or a particular composition of team."

After it opened in 2009, it was immediately obvious Citi Field was going to be a pitcher's park. Franchise cornerstone David Wright -- who drives the ball to right-center when he's at his best -- hit .318/.403/.555 at Shea Stadium and has since hit .283/.373/.452 in Citi Field.

Are Mets bringing in fences again at Citi Field?

As the Mets' quest for offense grows, the dimensions at Citi Field continue to shrink.

The right field and right-center-field fences will be brought in at the club's home ballpark for next season, according to a New York Daily News report. It's the second time the Mets have attempted to make their park more hitter-friendly since it opened in 2009.

How that decision will impact the Mets' young, pitching-rich team is another matter.

After the 2011 season, the Mets reduced the left-field dimensions from 371 feet to 358 feet, right-center field from 415 feet to 390 feet, and right field by just 3 feet, to 375.

The updated dimensions for the 2015 season were not specified, but the Daily News reported that construction could begin as early as this month. The Mets' output of 286 runs at Citi Field ranked 27th out of MLB's 30 clubs in runs scored at home.

Overall, the Mets scored 629 runs this past season (eighth in the NL) with 125 homers (tied for ninth in the NL).

Friendlier dimensions in right field could benefit lefty-hitting Curtis Granderson, who saw a power drain during his first season in Queens. Of his 20 homers in 2014, only seven were hit at home.

Lefty-hitting Lucas Duda hit 30 homers this year, 14 at home.

Right-handed hitting David Wright (.269, eight HRs, 63 RBI) has seen his production dip since the Mets moved from Shea Stadium, but he also was limited this past season because of a shoulder issue.

Citi Field's fences moving in

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) A bull on the loose in southern Utah knocked over two women and smashed through several fences before a police killed it.

Cedar City Police said in a news release Monday that reports about the bull came in at 7 a.m. Monday. After the bull knocked over the first woman, officers temporarily had it cornered in the backyard of a house before the bull broke through the fences and charged at officers.

After fleeing the neighborhood, the bull charged and hit a second woman. Shortly after, an officer rammed into the bull with his car. That slowed the bull, but didn't stop him. Police then killed the bull.

The two women struck by the bull suffered minor injuries. Police are still investigating who the bull belonged to and how it escaped.

Mets general manager Sandy Alderson has strongly hinted at the possibility of the fences being moved in at Citi Field again and Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News hears from a team source that construction is expected to begin in a few weeks.

This will be the second time the Mets have moved in the fences since the stadium opened in 2009. After the 2011 season, the Mets brought in the left field wall from 371 feet to 358 feet, right-center from 415 feet to 390 feet, and right field from 378 feet to 375 feet. While details of the upcoming changes arent yet known, they will be specific to the right field and right-center field fences.

As Marc Carig of Newsday wrote last month, these long-rumored changes could be beneficial to the likes of Curtis Granderson and David Wright, who often hit balls to that area of the ballpark only to see them die on the warning track. Ideally the Mets would consider the novel concept of moving in better players, but assuming they dont have that luxury from a payroll perspective, they are trying to maximize what they can get out of what they already have. These changes will also benefit the oppositions hitters, so the Mets are apparently banking on the offensive upgrade and the potential of their young pitchers being able to tip the scales in their favor.

Report: Mets moving in fences at Citi Field again

The Mets will move in the fences at Citi Field next season, a person with knowledge of the plan confirmed to NJ Advance Media. The changes will occur in right and right-center field.

The New York Daily News was the first to report the news.

General manager Sandy Alderson said at his end of season press conference last month that the changes were "likely" to happen. When Alderson first mentioned the possibility of the fences being moved in early last month, he mentioned Curtis Granderson as a beneficiary of such a decision.

Last season, the Mets hit 59 home runs at Citi Field -- the 12th most home runs at home by a National League team. They allowed 71 homers at Citi Field -- the seventh most by an NL team at home.

"It's not about tailoring the ballpark to a particular player or a particular composition of team, it's about making Citi Field as fan-friendly and as exciting as we can make it," Alderson told reporters.

This will be the second time that the Mets have moved in the walls at Citi Field. The club made alternations following the 2011 season, The most significant changes came in left-center field, where the fence was moved in by 12 feet, and in right-center field, where the distance from home plate was cut down by 11 feet.

This season, the distance to the right-center field wall was 390 feet from home plate.
