ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. Nike Air Max Typha Mens Royal Blue/Vivid Orange . -- Mondialiste was bred in Ireland and is trained in England, but from all appearances, he is most at home in North America. In his first trip overseas, he won the Grade 1 Woodbine Mile; in his second, he finished second to Tepin in the Breeders Cup Mile; and in his third, on Saturday at Arlington, he won a thrilling edition of the Arlington Million by a neck over the South American import Kasaqui.Kasaqui surged up the fence to nip the Irish 3-year-old Deauville for second, the top three all lapped on one another at the wire. It was three-quarters of a length back to Greengrassofyoming in fourth, and the entire 11-horse Million was separated by less than five lengths.But Mondialiste proved best of the tightly packed bunch, getting a flawless ride from Daniel Tudhope, whose second U.S. mount produced his first North American win, his third Group or Grade 1, and the most important victory of his career.Tudhope plunked Mondialiste in sixth, two wide outside Kasaqui, and never let the leaders, who set a slow tempo, get too far out of range. Tudhope and Mondialiste began moving up starting at the half-mile pole, getting into position on the far turn. Mondialiste came into the stretch with run, and when Tudhope truly called on him at the furlong grounds, Mondialiste gave it all, and all was just enough.It couldnt have worked out better, to be honest, Tudhope said. We went over the race so many times beforehand, but you just dont know how its going to go. We couldnt have asked for a better run.The Million is a Breeders Cup Win and Youre In race offering a fees-paid berth into the BC Turf, but that 1-1/2-mile race lies outside of Mondialistes scope, and Mondialiste is more likely to return for another crack in the BC Mile, according to trainer David OMeara, who is already widely respected at age 39 and has done fine work getting Mondialiste back into form this year.Owners Geoff and Sandra Turnbull purchased the Irish-bred 6-year-old son of Galileo out of Occunpandiste, by Kaldoun, before his 5-year-old campaign last year, but after hitting peak form at Woodbine and Keeneland, Mondialiste finished 12th in the Hong Kong Mile in December and was little better in his first two starts this year, when he was a distant seventh in the Prix dIspahan and 12th at Ascot.But OMeara never lost faith. He said the Hong Kong trip knocked out his horse, the race in France was especially salty and not really run to suit his horse, and that Mondialiste had never run worth a damn over the straight course at Ascot. And voila, Mondialiste popped right back into form, finishing a strong second to the high-class Time Test in the York Stakes on July 23 in England.It was a few days after that we took a look at the Million, said OMeara.Take the Stand made the front comfortably Saturday and galloped along on a clear lead, setting splits of 25.56 seconds, 49.74, and 1:14.14 on a course that was firm because heavy rain Friday just barely missed Arlington. Getting a perfect outside pressing trip was 7-2 favorite World Approval, with Deauville tracking the leaders from the No. 2 path. The field stacked up across the track at the top of the stretch, anybodys race, but there was Tudhope, tall by American jockey standards, raising his crop in a mighty swoop, Mondialiste poised for one final surge that carried him to victory. Mondialiste was timed in 2:01.87 and paid $10.80 to win.Take the Stand stopped badly and finished last, and World Approval, finally taking a step back after coming forward all year, faded to seventh. I have no excuse for him, said trainer Mark Casse. It just wasnt his day.Kasaqui, the Arlington Handicap winner, had a bit of a hard-luck tale. Jockey Robby Albarado thought he might have won had he been able to find room earlier, and Kasaqui did finish gamely up the fence, running the best race of his life. You cant expect more from our horse, said trainer Ignacio Correas. Hes all heart. Were very pleased and very proud of him.Just one 3-year-old has won the Million, and Deauville, with a poor post in 12, turned in a good performance to be third. Like all of trainer Mike Makers horses Saturday, Greengrassofyoming ran to the best of his ability, edging Danish Dyafmormer for fourth. The latter was followed by The Pizza Man, the races defending champion, who still has not found his best form this year.Hes just not himself right now, said jockey Mike Smith. Hes just going through the motions.Tryster, the 4-1 second choice who had been pointed to this spot for months by Godolphin, was reluctant to load, was hindered by the slow pace, and, after looming at the top of the stretch, fell back to eighth.Things just didnt really go his way before the race, and he kind of ran that way as well, said jockey William Buick. Down the back before the last turn, I got behind the winner, and he traveled well, and I thought when I pulled him out hed go ahead and do something, but the usual response wasnt there.Mondialiste, on the other hand, gave his usual response -- the response, at least, he has to North American racing.

EDMONTON, Alberta -- The Edmonton Oilers and Carolina Hurricanes will each be looking to get bad tastes out of their mouths when they meet Tuesday at Rogers Place.The Hurricanes have played two games so far this season. In each of them, theyve held leads of at least three goals. They ended up losing to both the Jets and Canucks in overtime.Meanwhile, the Oilers practiced Monday, despite it originally being scheduled as an off-day as mandated by the Collective Bargaining Agreement. But, after a 6-2 stinker of a loss to Buffalo on Sunday, the players voted to practice rather than rest, and the CBA-required rest day was moved to Wednesday.Judging by the noise coming from the Oilers, youd never know the team won two of its first three games of the season. The Oilers have scored 14 times in three games, but have given up 13 goals.And while goalie Cam Talbot has given up all 13 of those goals, the man bearing the brunt of the criticism is right winger Benoit Pouliot. Even though he scored in first period of Sundays game, he was benched after a couple of needless minor penalties. Pouliot has already been assessed six minors in the first three games.Will Pouliot play Tuesday? His coach, Todd McLellan, has clearly had enough.He took three penalties in a 15-minute span in Calgary and he took two (against Buffalo) in about a 12-minute span, said McLellan. If Im a penalty killer, I dont want to be out there blocking shots all the time for him for stupid penalties. So he can sit and watch, plain and simple. We have some foundational or fabric things we need to continue to fix as an organization, and stupidity is one of them.But Pouliot hopes he can use the game to turn the page.Its unfortunate, he said of his penalty issues. I put myself in a bad situation and in a bad position, and I paid for it the last two games. We play tomorrow again, its good.. Nike Air Max Typha Black. On Sunday, the Sabres got six power plays. The Oilers had the man advantage just once -- and that came late in the third when the result was a foregone conclusion.While unwise penalties plague the Oilers, the Canes have struggled to hold leads. This is a team that had a three-goal lead over Vancouver in the second period -- and lost. It had a three-goal lead over Winnipeg in the third period -- and lost.Weve scored some goals, coach Bill Peters told the teams website. Certain guys are doing the right things in order to score, and other guys are a little late to the party in that regard. Now well be able to make a couple changes to the lineup to make our team better.With a young group it can be tough to stay calm through games like that, Jordan Staal told the teams website. Including myself, it seemed like everyone was kind of off the page in the third period there.Expect left winger Phillip Di Giuseppe, right winger Martin Frk and defenseman Jakub Nakladal to all make their season debuts against the Oilers. Nakladal played 27 games with the Flames last season and had been waiting for his immigration paperwork to clear. Frk was claimed on waivers last week from the Detroit Red Wings organization.Oilers center Connor McDavid was named the NHLs first star of the week Monday. McDavid had three goals and three assists in the Oilers first three games of the season.The Oilers confirmed Monday that back-up goalie Jonas Gustavsson, who came in for Talbot on Sunday but then had to leave the game with a head injury, wont be available for the Carolina game. The team called up net minder Laurent Brossoit from its AHL affiliate in Stockton, Cal. Brossoit has an 0-5-1 career record and a 3.34. GAA in NHL play.
