Tough gelding Hard Stride has thrown off the effects of a colic scare and is ready to add to his solid stakes race record at Eagle Farm.Hard Stride will be having his 13th start in a stakes race when he contests Saturdays $200,000 Group Three George Moore Stakes (1200m).The gelding won the 2014 Listed Regal Roller Stakes when trained in Melbourne and has been placed in three other black-type races.Hard Stride was fourth in the Listed Keith Noud Quality at Eagle Farm two weeks ago at his first run since his late scratching at Doomben because of a sudden colic attack.Trainer Tony Sears said Hard Stride appeared to have recovered completely from the illness which caught him by surprise.I was just about to saddle him when he started pawing the ground and I went and got the vet. But he is over it now and has been as good as gold, Sears said.His last start in the Keith Noud was very good because he was one of the horses on the inside which appeared to be a disadvantage.Damian Browne rode him and said while he probably wouldnt have won had he been able to get to the outside he would have run second.Hard Stride, who is raced by David Moodies Contract racing syndicate, has been performing well for Sears after being transferred to Sears earlier this year.He has won a race and been minor placed twice from four starts this campaign.Hard Stride faces a task on Saturday but he is down in the weights and I think 1200 metres might be his right distance, Sears said.Browne cant make Hard Strides weight of 54kg and Luke Tarrant, who won the Recognition Stakes on Cylinder Beach last week, has picked up the ride.Luke is back riding well and Hard Stride isnt without a hope of giving him another black type win, Sears said.Sears also has a former Contract Racing horse, El Greco, who will contest the Class 3 Plate.Craig Black who is a client of mine has bought El Greco who does look well placed on his old form, Sears said.El Greco has been placed twice in stakes races in Melbourne.

NEW YORK -- The New York Mets lost the only game this weekend in which they appeared to have the advantage at starting pitcher. Now, in order to keep pace in the National League wild card race, the Mets will need one of their increasing number of rookie starters to outperform a Washington Nationals veteran.The Mets will host the Nationals in the second game of a three-game series Saturday night at Citi Field. Washington won the opener, when its own rookie starter, A.J. Cole, earned his first career win by tossing six solid innings in a 4-1 victory over New York and All-Star right-hander Noah Syndergaard.The Mets (69-66), who remained two games behind the St. Louis Cardinals in the race for the second NL wild card by virtue of the Cardinals 3-2 loss to the Cincinnati Reds, are scheduled to send rookie right-hander Robert Gsellman to the mound Saturday night.Gsellman, who lost his first major league start last Sunday after he gave up four runs in six-plus innings in a 5-1 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies, has a simple yet imposing task in his second start: Be as good or better than Nationals right-hander Tanner Roark, who ranks seventh in the NL in ERA with a 2.87 mark.Roark earned the win in his most recent start last Monday, when he tossed seven scoreless innings in a 4-0 victory over the Phillies. He has given up one run or fewer in five of his nine starts since the Alll-Star Break.ddddddddddddRight behind Roark on the NL ERA leaderboard is teammate Max Scherzer (2.89 ERA), who is scheduled to start Sunday nights series finale against another Mets rookie right-hander, Seth Lugo.But Gsellman and Lugo have combined to go 3-2 with a 2.96 ERA in their last five appearances (four starts) dating back to Aug. 19, which has Mets manager Terry Collins confident they are up to the task of keeping New York in the race.Theyre not afraid, theyre not intimidated by the situation, Collins said Wednesday. The only way youre going to learn how to get through this is to be in it, and we plan on being in it for a long time. So its nice to have guys with that experience.The Nationals (79-55), who are cruising to October with a season-high 10 1/2-game lead over the Mets in the NL East, are developing pitchers in a pennant race too. Cole was assisted Friday night by fellow rookie right-hander Koda Glover, who preserved what was then a 2-1 lead by striking out Jose Reyes to strand two runners on in the seventh before retiring both batters he faced in the eighth.Weve got a ways to go and the pressure cookers about to mount, Nationals manager Dusty Baker said. So well see. You keep doing the job and well keep putting you out there. ' ' '
