The latest UK-based apprentice to travel to Victoria for a summer riding stint will hit the city arena in Melbourne for the first time when he rides at Sandown.English apprentice Patrick Paddy Pilley started a three-month loan with Flemington trainer Nigel Blackiston a couple of weeks ago and has already registered a winner at Geelong aboard Surge Ahead for trainer Vincent Malady.The 19-year-old will ride the Blackiston-trained Sonsee Array and Amortise on Wednesday.Pilley rode both horses in their most recent starts while on Sunday he was aboard the Blackiston-trained Amarela who finished fourth in the Listed Kilmore Cup.The trainer said he could not have asked for more from that ride.Hes ridden a winner, a couple of placings and if you watch his ride in the Kilmore Cup on my mare, it was a fantastic run, Blackiston said.From the outside barrier, to get home and run fourth it was a beautiful ride.Hes a very good horseman, typical of those European styles the way hes been taught.Hes a very capable young man and claims two kilos in the country and in the metropolitan area.Oisin Murphy had a successful summer stint in Melbourne with trainer Danny OBrien in 2013/14.Murphy, now the retained rider in Britain for Qatar Racing, rode a feature race winner for Blackiston during that time aboard Outback Joe in the Bagot Handicap on New Years day.Blackiston said a recommendation from Murphy led to Pilleys stint with his stable.Kieran Shoemark is another who has had summer stints in Melbourne, while last summer Tom Marquand made his mark when he spent a few weeks with the Lindsay Park team.Pilley had his first Australian ride on six-year-old Amortise who finished sixth in a benchmark 64 (1400m) at Bendigo on November 9 at his first start for 12 months.Amortise steps to 1800m in the Polytrack Handicap while three-year-old filly Sonsee Array chases a maiden win in the Moorookyle Park Stud Plate (1800m) after making ground when fourth in a 1600m maiden at Moe last start.Blackiston also has Itchikoo Park in that race.I thought it was a nice run from Amortise first-up and he can take good benefit from that but he will improve more with another run under his belt, Blackiston said.Sonsee Array, I thought her run was excellent the other day on an unsuitable sort of track at Moe. She got around the turns and finished off strongly.I think the extra distance will suit her down to the ground. Daniel Jones Giants Jersey . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Australia always had the belief, and have now convinced the mighty United States they can win a historic Olympic mens basketball medal in Rio.The Boomers nearly became the first team to knock off the world No.1 side at a Games since 2004 on Wednesday night (Thursday morning AEDT).Thats if it wasnt for Carmelo Anthony and his record 31 points.A masterclass late in the fourth quarter from the Americans most experienced player turned a two-point deficit into a scarily close 98-88 victory for the U.S. - their 18th straight at an Olympics.While the United States put China and Venezuela away with ease, Andrew Bogut, Patty Mills and Matthew Dellavedova made them work hard for the win.The Australians, who earlier toppled top-six nations France and Serbia, led for large periods of the game and did not trail by more than eight points until the dying seconds.Mills finished with 30 points and Bogut added 15 points, while Dellavedova had 11 points plus 11 assists and six rebounds.That was the first real international game weve had, U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said.Australia have probably played the best of anybody in the Olympics.They just play lights-out basketball.Theyre going to vie for a gold medal.Winning gold - not just a maiden medal - was a goal they set after quaalifying for the Rio Games last year.dddddddddddd.I know many have laughed at us along the way, but perhaps tonights performance will help some others believe it, Boomers coach Andrej Lemanis said.Kevin Durant believes it, predicting Australia will go pretty far this tournament after what he came up against.But Bogut, despite being surprised by his own performance in just his third game back from a knee injury, wasnt all smiles.Were disappointed, he said.We lost. Were not going to take small moral victories.Theyre the best team in the world, we battled them and we thought we shouldve been in a position to try and grind out a closer game.In the past, you get within 10 or 15 and you get a birthday cake in the locker-room and everyone thinks its the best day ever.We have a different mindset this Olympics and hopefully we can keep that grit and determination.Having been drawn in the same group for Rio, the two teams wont be able to meet again until the gold medal match should they finish in the top two.The Boomers next play China, while the U.S. face Serbia.Anthony overtook LeBron James as the Americans alltime leading scorer midway through the match.
