ARCADIA — Trainer Jerry Hollendorfer’s assistant, Dan Ward, echoed jockey Mike Smith’s sentiments about Songbird drawing the rail for Friday’s $2 million Breeders’ Cup Distaff at Santa Anita. Songbird, the 6-5 moing-line favorite, brings an 11-0 record into the 1 1/8-mile race. She’s 7-0 this year and has won four Grade I stakes in three states. “It’s really not a conce,” Ward said. “She’s drawn the rail three times in the past and you know the result. This is going to be a very tough race, so I...

The voice is unmistakable — a warm, velvety tenor, so rich in tone, so rhythmic in its pace — like the croon of a classic standard. In Los Angeles, a city of constant reinvention, where transience is a way of life, the voice has endured for nearly seven decades. “The soundtrack of summer,” it is so warmly labeled. But to those who have faithfully tuned in over the years, the voice transcends the images that title conjures — of sun-drenched afteoons in the shade of palm trees, of Dodger dogs and ...

LOS ANGELES >> Although the UCLA offense has been inconsistent through its first two games, head coach Jim Mora gave first-year offensive coordinator Kennedy Polamalu an “A-plus” for his play-calling. Ahead of Saturday’s game against BYU at 7:15 p.m., Mora said he is impressed with Polamalu’s confidence and demeanor while calling plays for the first time in his 23-year coaching career. While the Bruins made the transition to a scheme during the offseason, the head coach praised Polamalu’s ...

RICHMOND, Va. >> It was yet another Denny Hamlin runaway for Joe Gibbs Racing on Saturday night in what tued out to be an anticlimactic end to NASCAR’s regular season. The fireworks came off the track at Richmond Inteational Raceway, where Tony Stewart intentionally wrecked Ryan Newman before Newman angrily chided his former boss for the accident that officially ended Newman’s chances to make the playoffs. The verbal beat down from Newman came with 37 laps left, before Hamlin finished off ...

All games at 7 p.m. unless otherwise noted. St. Anthony at Wilson: The Bruins (2-0) have a chance to show how good they really are against a tough St. Anthony (1-0) team in this 7th Street showdown. Wilson’s dynamic duo of Semaj Parker and Jacobi Hardy have accounted for 628 of the Bruins’ 945 all-purpose yards and will be leaned on heavily on Friday night. The Saints are coming off a blowout win against Southlands Christian, where they scored in all three phases of the game, including a kickoff...

LOS ANGELES >> Kennedy Polamalu handled his new position in an old, familiar place Saturday: on the sideline. The first-year offensive coordinator called plays from the field while coaching his running backs against Texas A&M. Despite his new play-calling responsibilities, Polamalu wants to be on the sideline because he knows no other way. He’s never been in the coaches’ box for a game. “These kids, they’ve got so many things going on and when you look them in the eye, they want to giv...

Bosco junior quarterback Re-al Mitchell finished with four touchdowns, two rushing and two passing, while senior running back Terrance Beasley racked up 254 yards rushing on 16 carries. “This was a tough week for us,” St. John Bosco head coach Jason Negro said. “We just got back (from Cincinnati) and we’ve got (Las Vegas Bishop Gorman) on the horizon next week so we didn’t want to look pa...

In the wild world of college football, few things are constant. As dependable as Jim Harbaugh wearing khakis, the SEC will reign supreme in the hearts of voters, an upstart team from a non-power 5 conference will rise to only fall and the Pac-12 will eat itself alive. Parity rules the West. Four teams can contend for the North Division. Three more are fighting for the South. From the sideline, we’re trying to score the rounds before they happen. Here are the Southe Califoia News Group college fo...

DENVER >> It’s no surprise that the Dodgers will give the ball to rookie left-hander Julio Urias for Friday’s start against the San Diego Padres. The 20-year-old left-hander is 5-2 with a 3.71 eaed-run average in 14 games (12 starts) with the Dodgers. His last four outings, all victories, have seen Urias allow two eaed runs in 19 2/3 innings, good for a 0.92 ERA. “The way he’s throwing the baseball right now,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said, “this is the best thing for the Dodgers and f...

It’s hard to imagine a win in a season opener matching what La Mirada High School accomplished last season by winning CIF Southe Section and CIF State Bowl championships. But Friday might be the exception. The Matadores, outscored 118-15 in two games against Trinity League foes last year, enjoyed that championship feeling after scoring a 21-14 victory over Orange Lutheran at Orange Coast College. The host Lancers began the season ranked No. 14 in the state by MaxPreps.com. Nick Heandez led the M...

DENVER — Bad news: A Rams starting offensive lineman got hurt. Good news: It created an opportunity for Cody Wichmann to prove himself. Bad news: Wichmann has to do it, daily, against Aaron Donald. So what is it like to line up and practice against Donald, one of the NFL’s premier defensive tackles? “He’s a great player,” Wichmann said this week. “I’m thankful, not only that he’s on our team because of his skill set, but I’m thankful that I get to practice against him every day. It’s going to ma...
