DEL MAR, Calif. -- Dortmund has won 8 of 10 starts, six stakes, and has earned $1,712,480 so far in his career.Eight of 10, not many do that, owner Kaleem Shah said.The losses were a third in the Kentucky Derby and a fourth in the Preakness Stakes in May 2015, races won by Triple Crown winner American Pharoah.Dont remind me about that, Shah said.Dortmund, by any measure, was brilliant as a 2- and 3-year-old. What he can accomplish at 4 will become known in the next month at Del Mar.On Saturday, Dortmund is scheduled to have his first start of 2016 in the $200,000 San Diego Handicap at 1-1/16 miles, a prep for the $1 million Pacific Classic on Aug. 20. Dortmunds return will be overshadowed by the comeback of California Chrome, the 2014 Horse of the Year, who has not raced since winning the $10 million Dubai World Cup in March.California Chrome will be favored and will be the sentimental choice of what is expected to be a large and enthusiastic crowd. Dortmund will have the role of primary spoiler in a small field.Dortmund has not raced since winning the Grade 3 Native Diver Stakes at Del Mar last November. Through the winter, Dortmund was sidelined by a foot injury, trainer Bob Baffert said. Dortmund was days away from a start in the $500,000 San Antonio Stakes at Santa Anita in February when the foot problem forced him to skip the race.Dortmund was eventually turned out for more than a month before resuming workouts in late May. On Sunday, Dortmund worked six furlongs in 1:12 in company with a stablemate.Its all set, Baffert said. He was cruising.Shah, 54, has been in a similar situation with a top-class horse coming off a layoff. He won his richest race as an owner with Bayern in the $5 million Breeders Cup Classic at Santa Anita in November 2014. Bayerns 4-year-old debut was postponed until May 2015 because of minor issues, and when the colt returned, he failed to win in five starts and was retired in the fall. In hindsight, Shah regrets the way the campaign was managed.I wish we had given him time off after the Breeders Cup Classic, Shah said. Bob was trying to make the Dubai World Cup with him. He came up with small issues. Every horse needs a little break every so often.Shah, who lives in Virginia and spends much of the summer at Del Mar, runs the privately held information technology company CALNET, which provides support for American military and intelligence.He rates Bayern and Dortmund as the best horses he has owned since his involvement in racing began in the mid-2000s. Bayern helped give Shah his best year in 2014, when the stable earned $5,977,978. The figure fell to $2,345,130 in 2015 and was $515,878 through Sunday.Its been a dry run this year, he said while watching workouts last weekend. In this business, you have ups and downs.There have been positive signs in recent weeks. On July 10, Shah had two winners on the final day of the Santa Anita spring-summer meeting -- in a maiden race for 2-year-olds with Klimt and in an optional claimer with Power Jam, who set a track record of 1:01.71 for 5-1/2 furlongs.Klimt is a candidate for the $200,000 Best Pal Stakes here Aug. 13.Hopefully, as the distances get longer, hell get better, Shah said of Klimt.The San Diegos distance should not be an issue for Dortmund. He won the Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby at 1-1/8 miles in April 2015 before he finished three lengths behind American Pharoah as the 4-1 second choice in the Kentucky Derby at 1-1/4 miles a month later. In the Native Diver, at 1-1/8 miles, Dortmund won by 4-1/4 lengths, his widest margin of victory in a stakes.Those performances give Shah hope that Dortmund can test California Chrome in the San Diego.I want Dortmund to come back running, he said. As long as we see the old Dortmund, it will be a fun race.Cheap Nike Air Max 95 White . LeBron James and Chris Bosh didnt need any more.

He thought about how much hed like to be at the game. As time went on, he thought hed like to call the action himself.His youthful aspirations came true at 22 when he was hired by a CBS radio affiliate in Washington, D.C. The following year, he joined Red Barber and Connie Desmond in the Brooklyn Dodgers radio and television booths. In 1953, at age 25, Scully became the youngest person to broadcast a World Series game, a mark that still stands.Now 88, Scully is heading into his final week behind the mic at Dodger Stadium before concluding his career on Oct. 2 in San Francisco, where the Dodgers end the regular season against the rival Giants. His 67 years with the Dodgers make Scully the longest-tenured broadcaster with a single team in professional sports.I will miss it, he said Monday. I know that dramatically.Scully discovered his lifelong love of baseball walking home from grade school. He passed a Chinese laundromat and saw the score from Game 2 of the 1936 World Series: Yankees 18, Giants 4.My first reaction was, `Poor Giants, he recalled, noting he lived near the teams home at the Polo Grounds and attended many games for free after school. Thats when I fell in love with baseball and became a true fan.Fittingly, his last game will be 80 years to the day he saw that score in the window.It seems like the plan was laid out for me and all I had to do was follow the instructions, Scully said.Has he ever.Though the years, Scully has entranced generations of baseball fans with his dulcet tones as he spins stories about the game and its players while working alone on the air. He still relishes the crowds cheers, a sound he says is like water out of a showerhead.Scully credits the birth of the transistor radio as the greatest single break of his career. In 1958, he accompanied the Dodgers when the franchise relocated to Los Angeles. Fans had trouble recognizing the lesser players during the teams first four years in the vast Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.They were 70 or so odd rows away from the action, he said. They brought the radio to find out about all the other players and to see what they were trying to see down on the field.That habit carried over when the team moved to Dodger Stadium. Fans at the games held radios to their ears and those not present listened from home or the car, allowing Scully to connect generations of families with his words.God has been so good to me to allow me to do what Im doing, said Scully, a devout Catholic who attends Mass on Sundays before heading to the ballpark.dddddddddddd A childhood dream that came to pass and then giving me 67 years to enjoy every minute of it. Thats a pretty large thanksgiving day for me.The Dodgers plan to honor their second-longest tenured employee (behind former manager Tom Lasorda) starting Tuesday night with a Scully bobblehead giveaway.Friday is an appreciation day for Scully with a pregame ceremony featuring speakers from his career and a postgame fireworks show set to the top calls of his career.The first 50,000 fans at Saturdays game against Colorado will receive a limited edition solid bronze coin. On the front is an image of Scully with his signature greeting of Its time for Dodger baseball.In San Francisco, the Giants will honor Scully at his final game. Two Bay Area TV stations will carry an inning of his broadcast as stations in other cities have done this season.All the hoopla is a little embarrassing to Scully, who reluctantly allowed the Dodgers to rename the street leading to the stadiums main gate in his honor in April.Ive never wanted to get out in front of the game, he said.Scully was adamant about not having an extended farewell. To his surprise and delight, players and managers have come to him. Throughout the season, theyve made the long trek from the visiting clubhouse in right field to his fifth-floor broadcast booth in the press box named for him, bringing gifts.He is just a different human being, Cubs manager Joe Maddon recently said. Thats like the window to the world up there, just sitting in his booth. He is really kind and gracious. You have to be all of that to survive that many years and you have to be good.At the start of each series, the umpires turn to face Scullys booth and tip their caps to him.Im deeply touched and overwhelmed with gratitude, he said.For the last time at home on Sunday, Scully will open his broadcast with the same reassuring greeting: Hi everybody, and a very pleasant good afternoon to you wherever you may be.I dont think Im going to stress anything about me, he said. I will concentrate on Denver as if theyre challenging the Dodgers for first place. I think Ill be OK.When he walks away next month, Scully will go home to his wife, Sandi, and delight in the company of his 16 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Hell still watch some baseball because a couple of his grandsons play.Ill try very hard to just stay back and be the very normal guy that I am, he said. I just want to be remembered as a good man, an honest man, and one who lived up to his own beliefs. ' ' '
