Das Team » God Save The Queen before the flight left. [ur

A day after the unbeaten Songbird breezed to a seven-length victory in the Grade 1 Alabama Stakes as an odds-on 2-5 favorite, Saratoga Race Course lived up to its reputation as the Graveyard of Favorites.The grand dame of American racetracks was as unfathomable as ever on Aug. 21 as the 11-race card produced not one but two six-figure sensational scores.There was surely no indication of what was to come when the favored Born for a Storm ($4.30) took the opening race of the day for leading trainer Chad Brown.Ditto after the second race when second choice Price too High ($7.50) prevailed.But then the madness began.What might have seemed like a bad dream to most proved to be the key to riches for some when Bold Illusion notched an improbable victory at 53-1 odds in the third race. The fact that the 4-year-old gelding was 0-for-10 with nothing better than a third and had been closer than 8-1/2-lengths at the finish of just one of those races best explain why he paid an astronomical $109.50 to win.If youre wondering what happened after that, lets just say that Bold Illusion triggered a $1,881 Pick 3 with a favorite and second-choice. Yes, a sensational score was brewing.Helping to stoke the fire was Security Risk ($19.80), who captured the fourth race for Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey. That victory capped an $8,005 Pick 3 and a $1,271 double for $2.With a string of six-figure Pick 5 payoffs in place, hockey fans had a leg up on the competition in the final race in the sequence.Chelios ($15) skated into the winners circle in the fifth, putting some rather big, bright numbers on the Saratoga tote board.The Pick 3? You collected $13,516 for $2.The Pick 4? If you hit it, you were $169,947 richer for each $2 wager.The Pick 5? How does an amazing $386,401 sound? Pretty sensational, eh?That wasnt the only monstrous payoff of the week at the Spa as the second race superfecta on Aug. 18 saw 17-1 shot Marble Falls ($36.40) lead the charge to the wire. He was followed by Chubby Master at 4-1, Norm the Giant at 16-1 and finally the very sweet Sound of Freedom at 74-1 to account for a superfecta that checked in at a robust $62,248 for a $2 wager.Not to be outdone, on the West Coast Del Mar had its six-figure day in the sun last week.On Aug. 18, there was a carryover of $66,808 in the Pick 6 and it seemed another was in the making when the first two races were won by Cee the Preacher ($24.60) and Ring Collector ($23), who formed a $253.60 double.But after that, the sequence became much more routine. Wins by second choice Do the Dance ($8.20) and then Olotta Shaken ($13.20) set the stage for wins by the favored Danas Best ($5.60) and Youre the Reason ($5) to close out the Pick 6.Yet even with the help of two favorites in the final legs, there was only one holder of a winning $2 Pick Six ticket that was worth a whopping $290,848.Despite all the longshots at Saratoga, the weeks How did you come up with that one? award was presented at Gulfstream Park on Aug. 21.The 11th race that day was a $12,5000 maiden claimer on the turf and if you didnt like the chances of Star Mily, you were not alone. She was 0-for-13 and in her last two races she was eighth and ninth, beaten by a combined total of 21 lengths.But apparently the 14th time was the charm as Star Mily pressed the pace from second then surged to the front in the final furlong and held on for a half-length win. Overlooked in the wagering, she went off at 80-1 odds and paid a weeks-best $162.80 for a $2 win ticket.She also capped a Pick 4 that paid $13,524.50 for a 50-cent and gave Gulfstream Park the same feel as Saratoga on a Sunday that was quite unkind to favorites.For more stories like this check out Americas Best Racing.

LONDON -- Arriving in a plane with a gold-painted nose cone and victoRIOus emblazoned on the livery, Britains Olympic team returned home Tuesday to jubilant scenes after the countrys record-breaking medal haul in Brazil.Max Whitlock and Nicola Adams, who won three of Britains 27 gold medals in Rio de Janeiro, were the first Olympians to emerge from the plane at Londons Heathrow Airport and stood at the top of the stairs as the rest of the team filed out to cheers and applause.Children crouched in front of the barriers clutching small British flags, and friends, family and well-wishers -- adorned with union flags and red, white and blue balloons -- welcomed home the 320-strong team of athletes and support staff.Britain won 67 medals to finish second in the gold medal table, behind the United States, and became the first country to improve on a home medal haul at the next games, having collected 65 at the 2012 Olympics in London.More than 35 percent of Britains team in Rio won a medal.Rower Katherine Grainger,, who won silver to pick up a medal at a fifth straight Olympics, said the success of Britains team had lifted a nation splintered by Britains divisive vote in June to leave the European Union.dddddddddddd.It has almost felt like it has been a tough year for the country, a lot has happened politically in the nation in the last few months, Grainger said.

So, yeah, I think ... the timing means that it is one of the best Olympics, the best sporting events we probably ever had.Posts on social media by team members revealed athletes fun on the flight from Rio to London, which had 77 bottles of champagne on board.Whitlock, a double gold-medalist, tried out some of his gymnastics routine on the first-class seats, and the team belted out a rendition of national anthem God Save The Queen before the flight left.
