Skiffle has been supplemented for Fridays Investec Oaks at Epsom after pleasing trainer Charlie Appleby in a Saturday morning workout. After finishing a promising third on her Ascot debut at the start of the month, the daughter of Dubawi raised her game to win the Listed Height Of Fashion Stakes at Goodwood, a race won by the brilliant Snow Fairy before she secured Oaks glory six years ago.Appleby said: She had a quiet week after Goodwood, as we said she would, and shes in good form. She did a routine piece of work this morning and we were very happy with her, so she will be supplemented for the Oaks.Shes a nice filly, shes done nothing wrong and if we can run into a place Ill be delighted.Skiffle was the only supplementary entry and is among 11 possibles for the fillies Classic following the confirmation stage.They are headed by Qipco 1000 Guineas winner Minding. Runner-up in last weekends Irish 1,000 Guineas, she is one of five remaining entries from the Aidan OBrien stable despite the absence of Ballydoyle.OBrien can also call on Even Song, How High The Moon, Seventh Heaven and Somehow.There is another potential Irish challenger in Jim Bolgers Turret Rocks, who was sixth behind Minding at Newmarket.The list is completed by Hugo Palmers Architecture, the Ralph Beckett-trained Diamonds Pour Moi, Harlequeen from Mick Channons stable and Australian Queen who David Elsworth is hoping can cause an upset.The Newmarket handlers last runner in the Epsom Downs Classic, Something Exciting, finished second to Eswarah in 2005, while he also sent out Mighty Flutter to be third at odds of 66/1 in the 1984 Derby.Australian Queen, a Lingfield Park maiden winner in February, has made two appearances on turf, coming home eighth in the Pretty Polly Stakes at Newmarket on May 1 and fifth, one place behind Harlequeen in the Group Two Musidora Stakes at York 11 days later.Elsworth commented: I thought Australian Queen ran well in the Musidora Stakes. It was only her second start on turf and she is mentally a big, backward filly - she is a slow learner.So Mi Dar won by four lengths that day and we were just over five lengths further back. She fell out of the stalls and got involved coming up the straight. She will come on a ton for that, but she needs to. Something Exciting was a lot more precocious whereas this filly was very backward. We ran Australian Queen on the All-Weather to teach her to race and she didnt handle the bend when she won at Lingfield Park - she nearly went over to the jumps course.In the Pretty Polly Stakes, we dropped her in and they didnt go a great gallop. She travelled well for most of the race but was found wanting when they kicked for home because she wasnt switched on mentally.She is a good filly, who is improving rapidly, and there is only one Oaks, so we are going to give it a go.Elsworth and owner Jeff Smith are also set to be represented at the Investec Derby Festival by Australians Queen illustrious half-sister Arabian Queen, who is due to run in the Group One Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Cup (Sponsored by Investec) on Investec Derby Day.The four-year-old filly beat last years Investec Derby hero Golden Horn when a 50/1 chance in the Group One Juddmonte International at York in August and went down by a length to Usherette on her seasonal return in the Group Two Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket on May 1.Elsworth added: I thought Arabian Queen ran a storming race in the Dahlia Stakes.We felt that she might improve 7lb to 10lb for the race but she ran so well that I am not sure if she can improve that much!She goes round Epsom, having won the Princess Elizabeth Stakes there last year, and Postponed will frighten a few off. Its an encounter that we are looking forward to.

Julius Randle overcame a scoreless first half and added his sixth double-double in as many games with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Jerryd Bayless Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. They say greatness recognizes greatness, and Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller has certainly had enough opportunities to recognize that of the New England Patriots.With his eighth career meeting with the Patriots (two in the playoffs) looming on Sunday, Miller praised Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski and Bill Belichick in a post for The Players Tribune, deeming them the toughest hes ever faced at their respective positions.On Wednesday, Brady?compared Miller?to three-time Defensive Player of the Year Lawrence Taylor, and it seems the respect is mutual. Miller calls Bradys pre-snap vision the best Ive ever seen, bar none, adding, You can disguise your look all you want, but hes still able to move guys around and forecast whats coming.Gronkowski is on injured reserve and wont play Sunday in Denver, but Miller deems him the leagues most dominant tight end, comparing him to the Cleveland Cavaliers LeBron James.He went on to credit Belichick for his ability to repeatedly surprise his opponents:Some of the packages we see from the Patriots, Ive never seen before on a football field.Theyll line Gronk up way out wide at the X receiver position, and the running back will be lined up on Bradys left side. So in my mind, Im thinking, Damn, its all good. No tight end. No RB chipper in sight. Here we go. Lets eat....And then all of a sudden Brady sends Gronk in slow motion back toward me, then the ball is snapped. So I release and Gronk is coming from the outside to chip me, and I dont even see him coming. Ive played a lot of football, but theres stilll stuff the Patriots do that surprises me.ddddddddddddNot all of those Miller recognized were New England foes, however. At offensive tackle -- the position he most regularly does battle with -- Washington Redskins anchor Trent Williams got the nod, though the two typically line up on opposite ends of the line. Miller says Williams has that swag about him that makes him almost more like a defensive player, as he plays in attack mode like few tackles do.Miller also picked a running back for his list, going a bit off the board with Jacksonville Jaguars back Chris Ivory. The main reason? Ivory delivered one of the hardest hits Miller has ever absorbed, knocking out one of the linebackers contacts in a 2014 meeting between the Broncos and Jets.Ivory causes harm, bro, Miller writes. He almost never runs out of bounds to preserve himself. He lays his body on the line for his teammates.Lucky for Miller, Ivory missed the Broncos-Jaguars meeting in Week 13, while he has to face Williams only once every four years. Denver hosted Washington in 2013, so the Broncos will head to D.C. in 2017.Not so lucky regarding the Patriots though, who come to Denver again Sunday and will also be on the 2017 docket, regardless of how either team finishes. Its worked out OK for Miller however: He has 7.5 sacks in seven games against New England, tallying 2.5 and an interception in last seasons AFC Championship Game.-- David DeChant ' ' '
