reverting to hurdles at a track at which he has had plenty of success and Ruby Walsh had the Willie Mullins-trained 13/8 favourit

Un De Sceaux ran his rivals ragged as he led all the way to record an impressive victory in the Prix La Barka at Auteuil. Second to Sprinter Sacre at Cheltenham and Sandown, the eight-year-old was reverting to hurdles at a track at which he has had plenty of success and Ruby Walsh had the Willie Mullins-trained 13/8 favourite in front from flag-fall.Enjoying himself in front, he always held a handy lead and had enough left in the tank when Le Grand Luce tried to make a late bid. Alex De Larredya was third, with the Paul Nicholls-trained Ptit Zig the first of the British raiders back in fourth in the Grade Two contest. Nicky Hendersons Simonsig was a big disappointment, finishing last.Mullins son and assistant Patrick said: Id say softer ground and a step up in trip suited him. Two miles on soft ground - hes just not as quick as Sprinter Sacre.Soft ground is the key to him and now thats he settling better, we can probably step him up in trip and it opens more options for next year.The French Champion Hurdle is three miles. I dont know if hell be asked to go over far.Im not sure. Well bring him home, see how he is and dad will decide then.Mullins and Walsh were completing a big-race double having taken the Grade Three Prix Questarabad with Triumph Hurdle third Footpad.The four-year-old just got home by a short neck from the 3-5 favourite Device as he bounced back from a fall at Aintree.Mullins added: It was a brilliant ride by Ruby. The horse never went a yard in Aintree and had a bad fall. He nursed him into the race and didnt go for broke until he got over the last. The jockey made the difference.A fabulous day after weve had a couple of near misses - Wicklow Brave second in Chester and Shaneshill second in America, so its fantastic.

Toronto FC was happy to lock the central midfielder up in advance.We think he would be a top-five player if he was in the draft, GM Tim Bezbatchenko said.Chapman officially signed as a homegrown player the day of the Jan. 15 draft and was in Philadelphia with the team to savour the moment.Growing up in Toronto and playing for the academy, I kind of fell in love with the city, said Chapman. Its an honour to be able to say that Im a professional soccer player playing for the city that kind of made me. So its a great feeling.Chapman, 21, describes himself as a hard-working box-to-box midfielder who can play both defensive and attacking roles.He joins goalkeeper Quillan Roberts, defender Ashtone Morgan, midfielders Manny Aparacio and Chris Mannella and forward Jordan Hamilton as Toronto homegrown players.MLS clubs can sign a player to their first pro contract without having to go through the draft if the player has trained for at least one year in the club’s youth development program and has trained 80 days with the academy during that year.A member of Canadas team at the 2011 U-17 FIFA World Cup in Mexico, Chapman spent two years at Torontos academy prior to Michigan State.The six-foot 157-pound Chapmaan enjoyed a stellar collegiate career, starting 62 of his 63 games in three seasons with 12 goals and 15 assists.ddddddddddddIn 2014, the native of Campbellford, Ont., became the first Spartan to be named a semifinalist for the Missouri Athletic Clubs Hermann Trophy awarded annually to the top NCAA player.
