Campbellville, ON - Champion colt Hes Watching will start from post 7 in Saturdays 31st edition of the $1 million North America Cup at Mohawk Racetrack. The 10-horse field of 3-year-old pacers will leave the starting gate at approximately 10:14pm et. Co-owned and trained by David Menary, Hes Watching will be driven by Tim Tetrick and is the 5-1 fourth selection in the field. "Im happy with (post) seven," said Menary on Tuesday. "It could have been a lot worse. Well make the best of it. He can race any way. I dont think anybody is going to wire this field." The Dan Patch Award winner was second in an elimination race last Saturday behind Tellitlikeitis, this weeks 3-1 morning line favorite. "(In the elim), our colt did a lot of work, a big second quarter, putting up big fractions, they raced the whole way. I think it was the toughest elim," Menary explained. "Last year, he did all he could do, two world records, six track records, every-sized track, every which way. Hes just a hulk of a little horse." Hes Watching, 2013 champion 2-year-old male pacer, won all eight starts last year and banked $291,722. Jimmy Takter trains both Tellitlikeitis and 4-1 third pick Lyonssomewhere. Winners of two of last weeks three elimination heats, Tellitlikeitis will be driven by Brett Miller from post 3 and Lyonssomewhere will leave from post 4 with Corey Callahan driving. "He has wicked speed and hell take you to where you want to go in the mile," Brett Miller said about Tellitlikeitis." McWicked, winner of the third elimination race, is the 7-2 second choice and will start from post 2 with David Miller driving. The colt is a five time winner from 14 career starts for earnings of $244,707. "He was absolutely awesome (in his elim)," said trainer Casie Coleman on Tuesday. "It was the fourth time Ive raced him and every time he keeps getting better and better. Ive been extremely impressed with him. He came out of the elim great, hes sound, healthy, his blood is perfect. This horse, so far, knock on wood, hes given me no issues. "It looks like theres a lot of speed in the race. My horse can race either way. Id prefer him coming off a helmet but hes very versatile." Here is the full field for the North America Cup in post position order: Beat The Drum, Yannick Gingras, 20-1; McWicked, David Miller, 7-2; Tellitlikeitis, Brett Miller, 3-1; Lyonssomewhere, Corey Callahan, 4-1; Lets Drink On It, Tyler Smith, 6-1; Ideal Cowboy, Scott Zeron, 15-1; Hes Watching, Tim Tetrick, 5-1; Luck Be Withyou, Ron Pierce, 12-1; JK Endofanera, Brian Sears, 10-1 and Sometimes Said, John Campbell, 20-1.

CEDAR PARK, Texas -- Toronto Marlies coach Steve Spott didnt let his team dwell on its first loss of the Calder Cup Playoffs, a 6-3 setback against the Texas Stars in Game 2 of the Western Conference final. The Marlies had won their first eight playoff games before Game 2, but the streak was derailed as Brett Ritchie and Scott Glennie each scored twice for Texas-- which fired 52 shots at Torontos net. "We turned the music on right away," Spott said referring to the teams post-game dressing room. "I went in and said a couple things about what we knew to do better. Then I said, when we leave here, Im a believer negativity is a wasted energy, and we turned the music on and we get back to work." The Stars have mustered 102 shots through two games and Toronto goalie Drew MacIntyre has stopped 95 of 101 shots. "We gave up, in my mind, three free goals," said Spott. "Weve got to be smarter and weve got to be tighter, the margin or error this time of year is slim." Glennies second goal gave Texas a two-goal lead with less than six minutes remaining in the third period after the teams traded five goals in the second. Spott said he felt Glennies goal, which came on a rebound after Mike Hedden drove hard to the net, ended Torontos comeback effort. "I thought we had some good push back when went to the third and then we gave up a soft goal," said Spott. "A coverage issue that we got beat on and then it ends up in the back of our netathose soft goals on some of those coverages, weve got to address." Chris Muellers fifth goal of the playoffs capped the barrage to give Texas a 4-3 lead 61 seconds before the second intermission.dddddddddddd Before Muellers goal Glennie and Ritchie scored for Texas, while Josh Leivo and Peter Holland countered for the Marlies. Glennies goal, which gave the Stars a temporary 2-1 lead, was the first time the Marlies trailed since the regular season finale against the Rochester Americans - a streak of 512 minutes five seconds. "Not any disrespect to Texas, but I dont think we were on our game tonight and they pounced on that," Marlies defenceman T.J. Brennan said. "Theyre a good team and they took advantage of a lot things we didnt do (in the second period)." Earlier Toronto had opened the scoring on its first shot 4:22 into the game when Jerry DAmigo took advantage of a Texas turnover and beat Christopher Nilstorp over the right shoulder for his fifth goal of the playoffs. Travis Morin added an empty-net goal for the Stars while Nilstorp had 27 stops for the win. The 30-year-old Swedish netminder made his biggest stop with 13.5 seconds left in the second period on Stuart Percy. Percy had an apparent open net, but Nilstorp reached out and around a screen to make the glove save with his right hand. "Oh, (Nilstorp) played unbelievable tonight," Stars forward Mike Hedden said. "That save he made at the end of the second, I think it really lifted the guys on the bench and carried the momentum into the third period." Game 3 of the best-of-seven series is Wednesday at Torontos Ricoh Coliseum. ' ' '
