SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. -- Trainer Jimmy Jerkens didnt want to run Shaman Ghost in Saturdays Grade 1 Woodward at Saratoga. Owner Frank Stronach didnt like the alternative.So, Jerkens followed his owners lead and then took a page out of his late fathers playbook as Shaman Ghost upset heavily favored Frosted in the $600,000 Woodward at Saratoga.Shaman Ghost, under Javier Castellano, split horses in deep stretch and outlasted Mubtaahij to the wire to win the Woodward by a head. It was another head back to Frosted, the 2-5 favorite, who had to come eight wide in the stretch.Frosted got third by a head over Breaking Lucky, who was 7-1/4 lengths clear of Tapin Mojo. He was followed, in order, by Catholic Cowboy, Tale of Verve, Bradester, and Samraat.In 1973, Jimmys father, the Hall of Fame trainer Allen Jerkens, won the Woodward -- then held at Belmont Park -- with Prove Out, beating Triple Crown winner Secretariat, the 2-5 favorite.I grew up watching my dad run in all these races when I was a little kid and how important it was - the Brooklyn, the Suburban, the Woodward - because we were New York people and [in] New York racing all our lives, Jerkens said. Its what we want.Shaman Ghost won the Brooklyn by 4-1/4 lengths on June 11 but ran fifth in the Grade 2 Suburban. He came out of the race with a cough and his subsequent training was interrupted by inclement weather. Thus, Jerkens initially wanted to wait until next Saturdays $100,000 Seattle Slew Stakes at Belmont Park to use as a prep for the Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont on Oct. 8.Jerkens said Stronach wasnt crazy about the idea.The Woodward meant taking on Frosted, who was coming off dynamic victories in both the Metropolitan Handicap in June and the Whitney in August.Jerkens hoped that those two races may have taken a toll on Frosted.His last two races were through the roof. They just dont duplicate it all the time, Jerkens said. I was kind of surprised he ran in here.Frosted had shown speed winning the Whitney in front-running fashion. Saturday, he broke awkwardly under Joel Rosario and brushed the side of the gate. He was sixth early as Bradester went to the lead under Joe Bravo and set modest fractions of 24.38 seconds for the quarter-mile, 48.43 for the half, and 1:11.97 for six furlongs while being kept in the No. 3 path. He was being chased by Breaking Lucky and Samraat.Shaman Ghost was a relatively close-up fourth, while Frosted raced in sixth position about six lengths off the pace.Entering the far turn, Shaman Ghost, Samraat, and Frosted launched their bids. But with Bradester in the No. 4 path and Breaking Lucky off his flank in the No. 5 path, Shaman Ghost, Samraat, and Frosted had to come six, seven, and eight wide.Meanwhile, Mubtaahij, who raced in seventh under Irad Ortiz Jr., was able to save some ground around the turn and entering the stretch. He made a bid for the lead at the eighth pole inside of Shaman Ghost, who was splitting horses, Breaking Lucky, who was persevering, and Frosted, who was still under a hand ride.Little separated that quartet from the sixteenth pole to the wire, but Shaman Ghost was able get up over Mubtaahij, Frosted, and Breaking Lucky.I almost decided to go around the horses but when I see Frosted he went out wide, I thought the only chance I could beat him was cut the corner, split horses, and go from there, Castellano said.Shaman Ghost, last years Queens Plate winner and a son of Ghostzapper, covered the 1 1/8 miles in 1:48.92 and returned $20 to win.Rosario never went to the whip on Frosted, but he explained that in previous rides on the horse he didnt respond well to being hit.Every time I rode him, when you hit him with the whip he dont like that too much, Rosario said. When Im turning for home I thought we were going to be home free and at the eighth pole I thought we were okay. Just the last 20 yards he hung a little today.Kiaran McLaughlin, the trainer of Frosted, said the trip probably cost his horse.I thought we were going to get there, but the horse was very wide and the fractions werent very fast, McLaughlin said. He just didnt have his A game today.McLaughlin said it was too early to say what the future holds for Frosted, who has already secured fees-paid berths into the Breeders Cup Classic at 1-1/4 miles and the Breeders Cup Dirt Mile. Frosted is winless in three tries at 1-1/4 miles.McLaughlin is also the trainer of Mubtaahij, who despite breaking from the outside post had a good trip in comparison to his rivals, but couldnt match strides with Shaman Ghost late.Mubtaahij ran great, post position hurt him, McLaughlin said.It is likely that Shaman Ghost and Mubtaahij will meet again in the Jockey Club Gold Cup. 12 Oz Hydro Flask Kids .

HOUSTON -- The Houston Astros have a message for those who counted them out of the playoff race after losing four of their last five games.This team isnt going to quit, George Springer said. Were going to go down fighting.Springer had three hits, including a two-run double during a six-run sixth inning, and the Houston Astros beat the Seattle Mariners 8-4 on Tuesday night.The victory leaves Seattle two games behind Baltimore for the second AL wild card and cuts Houstons deficit in the race to 2 1/2 games.Weve had somewhere between 10 and 20 lives this year where just when you count us out, when you think that were in a bad spot we seem to fight back, manager A.J. Hinch said. Its a characteristic that I love about our team.The Astros got five hits off Felix Hernandez (11-7) in the sixth, but only two of the six runs scored in the inning were earned because of two errors.I was still making good pitches, Hernandez said. The curveball was down, and it just blooped. I was fine. They just got lucky.The game was tied when Springer shot a ground-rule double to right field that made it 6-4. A two-run single by Marwin Gonzalez, which sailed just out of reach of a lunging Hernandez, chased the pitcher and left Houston up 8-4.Contact is your friend, and you put some energy back in the dugout and put up a really big number against a pitcher who was conceivably cruising after the first inning, Hinch said. So Im proud of our group.Houston starter Mike Fiers allowed eight hits and four runs in five innings. Rookie Jandel Gustave (1-0) yielded no hits and no runs with one walk in 1 1/3 innings for his first career win.Hernandez tied season highs by allowing 10 hits and eight runs, four of them earned, in 5 2/3 innings.He gave up a couple in the first, but our offense rebounded and got him in a good spot, manager Scott Servais said. Not wipe-out stuff by any means, but he was pitching well and deserved a better fate.It was his second straight tough start in Houston after he yielded five hits and eight runs in a third of an inning of a 10-0 loss on June 12, 2015, to tie the shortest start of his career.ddddddddddddHe also struggled against Houston at home earlier this month when he allowed nine hits and six runs in 4 1/3 inning of a 6-0 loss to the Astros on Sept. 16.The Astros trailed 4-2 entering the sixth before Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa hit consecutive singles with no outs. Yuli Gurriel grounded into a force out that scored Altuve and left Correa out at second. Shortstop Ketel Marte made an error on the play that allowed Gurriel to reach first. Tony Kemp drew a walk before pinch-hitter Alex Bregmans RBI single tied it.Jake Marisnick then reached on an error by Lind before Springer and Gonzalez drove in two runs each.TRAINERS ROOMAstros: Bregmans pinch hit in the seventh was his first action since leaving a game on Sept. 14 with a right hamstring injury. He was replaced by a pinch-runner after his hit.BREGMANS RETURNBregman had an idea that he could pinch-hit early in Tuesday nights game. But since he had been out so long, coming up in that situation had him a little bit rattled.That might have been more nerve-wracking than my first at-bat here, he said.Hinch was confident that he could deliver there despite the long layoff.Hes Alex Bregman; hes sort of never out of an at-bat, Hinch said. His competitiveness, his readiness, hes been bouncing off the walls trying to get back in the game. He almost couldnt hold back his smile, how good he felt.UP NEXTMariners: James Paxton (5-7, 3.72) is scheduled to start for Seattle on Wednesday. Paxton allowed five hits and one run while striking out nine in seven innings for a win over Minnesota in his last start.Astros: Doug Fister (12-12, 4.42) will pitch for Houston on Wednesday. Fister has had a tough time lately, losing his last four decisions with the Astros dropping each of the last six games hes started.
