The Grade 1 Delaware Handicap at Delaware Park on Saturday is sandwiched among four playable supporting races. The Del Cap is slotted as race 9 at 5:15 p.m. Eastern. It is preceded by the $50,000 Hockessin Stakes and a third-level optional-claiming race and is followed by the Grade 3 Kent Stakes and the $50,000 Carl Hanford Memorial.There are rolling daily doubles and pick threes throughout the five-race sequence and a pick four that begins with the Hockessin and concludes with the $200,000 Kent. The card will be streamed live on DRF.com.The Kent, a 1-1/8-mile turf race for 3-year-olds, is about as wide open as an eight-horse race can be and matches horses from the barns of Steve Asmussen, Chad Brown, Mike Maker, Shug McGaughey, Bill Mott, and Todd Pletcher.Converge, trained by Brown, is the only graded stakes winner in the field and has made his last four starts in graded company. Four-time winner Keystoneforvictory, trained by Maker, is the only horse in the field with more than two victories. And American Patriot, conditioned by Pletcher, has the best last-out Beyer Speed Figure, an 89 he earned in winning a first-level optional claimer going the Kent distance at Belmont Park.Motts runner, Mighty Mo, did not run his best race last out while finishing fourth in the Paradise Creek Stakes at Belmont in May. He tracked a loose-on-the-lead Too Discreet in that seven-furlong grass sprint and then flattened out in the stretch.Too Discreet set tepid fractions of 23.05 and 46.07 seconds before coming home quickly with a final three furlongs in 34.21 en route to a final clocking of 1:20.28. Mighty Mo may fare better in this longer race that should be run in a more even manner. He figures to be either on the front end or tracking Keystoneforvictory.Two starts back, Mighty Mo finished second by a neck to Highland Sky in the Woodhaven Stakes at Aqueduct. Highland Sky has since finished second by a neck to Camelot Kitten in the Grade 3 Pennine Ridge at Belmont Park and second by a neck to Deauville last Saturday in the $1.25 million Belmont Derby.Three starts ago, Mighty Mo won a Gulfstream Park maiden race over Sir Dudley Digges, who has since won the $1 million Queens Plate for Maker.Edgar Prado, who won the $200,000 Robert Dick Memorial at Delaware last Saturday, has the mount on Mighty Mo. It would be fitting if Mott were to win the Kent, as last week a horse he trains, Suffused, was shipped to Delaware but had to be scratched from the Dick Memorial after the tracks third-party Lasix administrator failed to treat her with the anti-bleeding medication.Inspector Looney, trained by McGaughey, and Madtap, trained by Asmussen, should both appreciate the added distance of the Kent. In their most recent starts, they closed well to be second going a mile in allowance company. Inspector Looney overcame a very wide trip in his race.* Chief Istan merits attention in the Hockessin, a six-furlong race for 3-year-olds and up. He came into the Mr. Prospector at Monmouth Park last out undefeated in three starts but was finished early and badly beaten. Based with Larry Jones at Delaware, he has since worked five furlongs and may well return to form Saturday.* Catcha Rising Star finished second to the graded-stakes-winning Onus in a course-record performance at Belmont while making her 4-year-old debut. She is well spotted by Graham Motion in this 7-1/2-furlong optional claimer on turf.* The late-running Kid Cruz will be favored in the Hanford Memorial, a 1-1/16-mile dirt race for 3-year-olds and up.Kid Cruz had won two stakes in a row before finishing seventh in the Grade 2 Brooklyn going 1-1/2 miles on Belmont Stakes Day. Kid Cruz can be a bit lazy at times, but jockey Jose Ortiz knows him well and is sure to keep him properly motivated in the Hanford.* Warrioroftheroses is an all-or-nothing type of runner. He comes into the Hanford off an eight-length optional-claiming victory at Delaware for trainer Damon Dilodovico and is sure to gun for the lead.* Bodhisattva broke a seven-race losing streak dating back to his Federico Tesio Stakes victory in April 2015 while being reunited with trainer Jose Corrales last out. Bodhisattva rallied from 12 lengths back in the Pimlico optional claimer to win by 3-3/4 lengths and earn a career-best 94 Beyer.I was expecting him to run well last time, but I wasnt expecting him to really come out the way he did, Corrales said. I wanted to make one move, and the jockey rode him the way I wanted, and it was a good result.Taylor Hole rides again Saturday.

NEW YORK -- Theres plenty of blame to go around for the New York Jets 3-5 start. Ryan Fitzpatrick points the finger solely at himself.The veteran quarterback has been bad, benched -- and, lately, bounced back.Fitzpatrick has helped lead the Jets to two straight wins and he knows its on him to be a lot better in the last eight games if New York has any chance of making the playoffs.I think the biggest thing is that I havent played well, and I think thats where it starts, Fitzpatrick said during a conference call Monday. Offensively, if your quarterbacks not playing well, then youre not going to play well on offense.The offense is ranked 22nd overall, up a spot from last week. The running game has gotten in gear, with Matt Forte running for 82 yards in a 24-16 win over Baltimore and Bilal Powell adding 76. The passing game, which was such a force last season, has been mostly grounded, although Quincy Enunwa has emerged as a legitimate playmaker in Eric Deckers absence.I think we definitely played below expectations, especially speaking for the offense and myself, Fitzpatrick said. Theres a lot of things that we need to do better if were going to continue this winning streak and continue to win games, but I think its been a huge disappointment.Fitzpatrick went on to say that hes proud of his teammates resolve during the rough start -- which can only help turn things around.I think we have the right guys in the locker room to do it, he said. I think thats what everybody feels. I think the confidence is up. Winning two games in a row, guys remember what it feels like.Fitzpatrick threw 11 interceptions in the first six games with just five touchdowns. Coach Todd Bowles sat him last week in favor of Geno Smith, who didnt even last a half because of what turned out to be a season-ending knee injury.So Bowles turned back to Fitzpatrick, who did just enough -- no turnovers -- in the Jets 24-16 win over Baltimore. He chided the front office for losing faith in him, and insisted his confidence was still strong.Hes a quarterback, so any time it goes good or bad, the quarterback is the focal point, but there are a lot of reasons why we havent played well the first half of the season, Bowles said. Either its a guy here or a guy there. Its not necessarily the quarterback at all.On Sunday, Fitzpatrick shook off an awful first half in whiich he was 3 of 14 for 30 yards and rebounded with an efficient final two quarters in which New York rallied to a 31-28 victory at winless Cleveland.ddddddddddddIt got so bad that even Broadway Joe himself took to Twitter to plea for Bowles to give second-year quarterback Bryce Petty a chance.Who thinks we should see Bryce Petty start the 2nd half? Joe Namath wrote. I know I do. It hurts to say this, but were not goin anywhere with Fitzpatrick.Fitzpatrick brushed off the comments, saying, I understand it, 100 percent.Theres going to be a lot of times when people doubt you or your ability and sometimes rightfully so, but if you dont believe in yourself, then you have no chance in this league, he said. I didnt play well in the first half, but I thought we came out and did a good job in the second half with three of those drives, scoring touchdowns, and a lot of that is just through experience and having that confidence and believing in myself that I can get the job done, regardless of the circumstance.Namath, by the way, tweeted his approval after the game: Lousy first half, terrific second half. Nice goin Jets!Fitzpatrick finished 16 of 34 for 228 yards with a touchdown pass to Enunwa -- and, again, with no turnovers. The final numbers were hardly eye-popping, but theyre at least on the right track.Fitzpatrick won over his teammates and many Jets fans with a franchise-record 31 touchdown passes last season. He re-signed for one year and $12 million just before training camp opened, satisfying many teammates who thought the offense could hum with their QB back under center. Fitzpatricks early-season struggles, however, helped put the Jets in a 1-5 hole that he is slowly trying to help them dig out of.Whether its fundamentals or thought process, whether its physical or mental, I just have to continue to work every day and try to be a better player, he said. I think as I play better, the offense will do the same.Game notes Bowles said TE Kellen Davis had a sore elbow, but was having X-rays taken after he was injured during one of Fortes touchdown runs. That was the Jets only significant injury.---AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
