NC United scores win over Clackmas The Daily Astorian The North Coast United girls’ soccer team was in action in Happy Valley Satur- day, and posted a 2-1 win over Clackamas United SC. Both sides had scoring opportunities in the irst half, with NCU’s Sophia Marsh notching the irst goal on the last play of the half. The goal was set up by an excellent cross from Chloe Bartel, past the Clacka- mas United keeper, to an attacking Marsh for the inish. Both teams were able to move the ball more freely to start the second half. SCOREBOARD PREP SCHEDULE TODAY Baseball — Astoria at Valley Catholic, 5 p.m.; Seaside at Tillamook, 5 p.m.; Warren- ton at Portland Christian (2), 3:30 p.m.; Faith Bible at Knappa (2), 3 p.m. Softball — Astoria at Seaside (2), 5 p.m.; Warrenton at Portland Christian (2), 3:30 p.m.; St. Paul at Knappa, 4:30 p.m. A shot attempt by NCU’s Jenna Rudolph from 25 yards out was blocked, then juggled and scored by the Clackamas United keeper.

Gulls score well in four-way league meet The Daily Astorian SEASIDE — In preparation for next week’s Cowapa League Cham- pionship meet, the Seaside track team hosted a four-team Cowapa gathering Wednesday on the Gulls’ home track. Banks, Tillamook and Valley Catholic competed along with Sea- side. The meet was not team-scored. Still, the Gulls faired well on the boys’ side, winning eight different events. Seaside racked up four victo- ries on the track, where Juneau Meyer won the 400 meters in 55.35 seconds; Jackson Januik took the 800 meters (2:01.09); and Brad- ley Rzewnicki won the 3,000 meters (9:29.33), well ahead of sec- ond-place Jacob Dicken of Valley Catholic (10:46.33). Hunter Thompson, Taylor Barnes, Januik and Meyer combined to win the 400-meter relay in 3:35.30. In the ield events, Barnes soared 20 feet, 3 inches to win the long jump over teammate Jaxson Smith (20-0 ¼), while Smith won the triple jump (40-0) and took second in the high jump (6-0). Raiden Bowles cleared 13-9¼ (a league-best by over two feet and sec- ond-best in Seaside history) to win the pole vault. The Gulls had one win in the throws, with Sam Beaudoin toss- ing the discus 113-11. On the girls’ side, junior Josie Smith won the 1,500 meters in 5:28.67. Scappoose will be the host team for the Cowapa League meet, next Thursday and Fri- day at St. Helens High School. Triple Crown winner thriving in new home at Ashford Stud farm By RICHARD ROSENBLATT AP Racing Writer VERSAILLES, Ky. — American Pharoah is led out of his stone palace of a barn, head up, eyes alert, a little heavier these days but still pretty well sculpted. In a few minutes, the cham- pion will be walked over to the breeding shed, a mere 50 yards away. By now, the Tri- ple Crown winner has the routine down pat. No more early morning workouts under the watchful eyes of trainer Bob Baffert. No Victor Espinoza asking the big bay for every ounce of energy over 11 grueling races in 17 months. No more huge media crowds around him, or cameras clicking away at his every move. No more parades at Churchill Downs or Santa Anita Park. Welcome to paradise, also known as Coolmore Ashford Stud, a magnii- cent 2,000 acre empire in the heart of Bluegrass coun- try. This is home to racing’s irst Triple Crown winner in 37 years, a luxurious resort for the irst horse to win the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes since Afirmed in 1978, and just the 12th in history. The latest edition of the Derby is Saturday, about 75 miles away at Churchill Downs. Nyquist is the early 3-1 favorite in a full ield of 20, carrying an unbeaten record into the race in which the winner becomes the only horse with a chance to dupli- cate Pharoah’s feat. Nyquist trainer Doug O’Neill is well aware that more fans are paying attention. “They now have heard a lot about horse racing in the last year, year and a half and that’s a credit to Pharoah,” he said, “and hopefully Nyquist can carry the torch farther.” At Ashford, mares are car- rying the torch for Ameri- can Pharoah. Two days after winning the Breeders’ Cup Classic in his inal race at nearby Keeneland on Nov. 1, he arrived at his new home to much fanfare. When the breeding season started in mid-February, Pharoah was ready, willing and able. Since then, he’s covered about 100 mares, and could double that amount by the end of the sea- son in June. He commands a stud fee of $200,000.
