Picking the favourite for the Kentucky Derby may be as tough as picking the winner. Von Miller Jersey . Without a breakthrough star heading into the May 5 Derby, theres a stable full of 3-year-olds worthy of the leading role as horse to beat when a full field of 20 spring from the starting gate at Churchill Downs. Lets start with Union Rags, who opened on top and now finishes No. 1 on the APs final Run to the Roses Top 10 list of Derby contenders. Other potential Derby favourites are Bodemeister, Creative Cause, Dullahan, Gemologist and Ill Have Another. Churchill Downs oddsmaker Mike Battaglia says hes leaning toward making Arkansas Derby winner Bodemeister the favourite when he sets the morning line next week. Lardarius Webb Jersey . As expected, Miami selected former University of Michigan offensive tackle Jake Long with the first pick in Saturdays draft, merely formalizing what had been a foregone conclusion for the better part of a week before things got interesting with the following four selections. Eric Decker Jersey . -- Pat Noonan scored late in stoppage time to give the Los Angeles Galaxy a 1-1 tie with FC Dallas on Saturday night. Antonio Cromartie Jersey . Fijis self-appointed prime minister Frank Bainimarama seized power in a 2006 coup and has deferred elections to 2014.

Reggie Wayne Jersey . Americas NCAA darling two years ago was just another first-round underdog this time around - overmatched and never really in it Thursday night in a 68-50 loss to Notre Dame in the East Regional. Troy Polamalu Jersey . Rypien, who was assessed a double minor for roughing, as well as a 10-minute misconduct in the second period of the Canucks loss to the Wild on Tuesday night, was heading down the tunnel to the dressing room when he pushed a Wild fan that was applauding at the railing. KHARKIV, Ukraine -- The Netherlands had the chances, the Danes scored the goal. Denmark secured the first surprise of the European Championship with a 1-0 victory Saturday in Group B. And it was Michael Krohn-Dehli that provided the lethal finishing that the Dutch inexplicably lacked. Krohn-Dehli scored against the run of play when he picked up a loose ball close to the penalty area in the 24th minute, left two defenders standing and shot through the legs of Maarten Stekelenburg from a tight angle. It was something Premier League top scorer Robin van Persie never got close to as he came to symbolize Dutch futility with a couple of bad mistakes. Denmark goalkeeper Stephan Andersen made several clutch saves to secure the most important Danish victory over the Netherlands since the Euro 1992 semifinals. "It was the only dangerous action of Denmark," Netherlands captain Mark van Bommel said. "Im speechless, because these three points are very important." The Dutch came closest to scoring when Andersen gave away the ball to Arjen Robben just outside the area in the 36th minute, but the Bayern Munich winger curled his left-footer onto the far post and out of danger. Late in the match, a penalty appeal for handball was denied when the Dutch were running out of time as Lars Jacobsen appeared to touch the ball with his upper arm in the box in a duel with substitute Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. "It is such a clear penalty, and then you likely get a draw," Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk said. "There were maybe 4, 5, 6 players who had a lot of chances, and the referee also had a chance," Van Marwijk said of the penalty ruling of referee Damir Skomina. The frustration came to symbolize the sticky night in eastern Ukraine when the game temperature stood at 27C and leaves the World Cup runners-up with two clutch games against top-10 ranked teams, Germany and Portugal. "I refuse to throw in the towel," Van Marwijk said. "We must beat Germany. We have done that before." Denmark, seen as outsider in the toughest group of the championship, can already take a huge step to the quarterfinals by beating Portugal in ttheir second game. Aaron Hernandez Jersey. "We know the Dutch, they can be very dominating," Denmark coach Morten Olsen said. "If you get scared of them, they play really good football. I think we played them in the right way." From the start, the tactics of the match were laid out for all 35,932 fans at the Metalist Stadium. The Dutch started with furious attacking and the Danes counted on a solid attack and a dose of luck to keep out of danger. The creative skills of Robben, Van Persie and Ibrahim Afellay created plenty of chances, but finishing was off and Andersen would not budge. With one lethal counter, Krohn-Dehli showed some of Europes best players how it should be done with his well-taken strike. The Netherlands came into the tournament without key defender Joris Mathijsen and a questionable left defensive flank. Ron Vlaar and Jetro Willems confirmed the assumptions as the back line did not look at ease when the Danes came pushing forward around the half-hour mark. Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk even had to come to the sideline to shout and wave his players forward. And on a difficult day, luck was not with the Dutch either, when Robbens shot bounced free. Van Marwijks decision to pick Van Persie over Bundesliga top scorer Huntelaar came into sharp focus. Two minutes from halftime, Wesley Sneijder set up the Arsenal striker in the centre with only the goalkeeper to beat. Uncharacteristically, Van Persie had a bad first touch and was forced too wide and shot at the goalkeeper instead of scoring an easy goal. Early in the second half, too, he inexplicably mis-stepped on another great chance for goal as the Dutch pushed forward from the second half whistle. They forced Andersen into two fine saves on a half dozen occasions. The thousands of orange-clad fans filled the air with shouts of "Holland, Holland," but to no avail. The Danes didnt fully lock themselves up but showed poise by patiently pushing forward again. Still, the Dutch kept piling up the misses and Van Marwijk brought in both Huntelaar and attacking midfielder Rafael van der Vaart for defensive midfielder Nigel de Jong with 20 minutes to go. ' ' '
