A bitter Stephen Larkham believes his Brumbies should be in the Super Rugby semi-finals, despite losing 15-9 to the Highlanders.The coach questioned some of the refereeing decisions in the closing stages of a see-sawing quarter-final at GIO Stadium on Friday and felt his side deserved to walk away winners.The ACT franchise were denied a try to replacement winger Lausii Taliauli in the 75th minute after both the on-field and television match officials ruled they could not see the ball being grounded.If awarded, the Brumbies wouldve been just one point behind and couldve taken the lead with a conversion.It was clearly a try for everyone who saw it, Larkham said.Its really disappointing that a game comes down to that. We should be in the semi-finals right now.I give credit where its due and I think the Highlanders played really good football but I thought we played better tonight and I think we deserve that win.Larkham was visibly frustrated and emotional, especially given it was the last game for a number of big-name players - including co-captain Stephen Moore, playmaker Matt Toomua and superstar flanker David Pocock.Moore is heading back to the Queensland Reds next season, while Toomua is joining English outfit Leicester and Pocock is beginning a 12-month sabbatical.Injured winger Joe Tomane, Michael Dowsett and Michael Wells are also leaving.It marked the first time the Brumbies havent advanced past the opening week of the playoffs since 2012, when they missed the finals altogether.It also leaves Australia without a title contender, given they were the only team to survive the regular season after finishing top of the local conference.It was one of the better games weve had this year. It was a see-sawing battle and the guys did everything right to win that game, Larkham said.Its incredibly frustrating now to know that we lost it that way.For the Highlanders it means a chance to win back-to-back titles.The victory - secured with just two tries via winger Waisake Naholo and No.8 Liam Squire - broke a decade-long losing streak in the nations capital.Coach Jamie Joseph and skipper Ben Smith said they both initially felt Taliaulis effort was a try but were glad the call went their way.It was a real difficult game right from the start, Joseph said.It was a real ding-dong arm wrestle but Im really proud of the team in terms of how they finished the end.It couldve gone either way really, but weve earned another week.Yeezy 350 Cheap Real .

Owner Frank Stronach didnt like the alternative.So, Jerkens followed his owners lead and then took a page out of his late fathers playbook as Shaman Ghost upset heavily favored Frosted in the $600,000 Woodward at Saratoga.Shaman Ghost, under Javier Castellano, split horses in deep stretch and outlasted Mubtaahij to the wire to win the Woodward by a head. It was another head back to Frosted, the 2-5 favorite, who had to come eight wide in the stretch.Frosted got third by a head over Breaking Lucky, who was 7-1/4 lengths clear of Tapin Mojo. He was followed, in order, by Catholic Cowboy, Tale of Verve, Bradester, and Samraat.In 1973, Jimmys father, the Hall of Fame trainer Allen Jerkens, won the Woodward -- then held at Belmont Park -- with Prove Out, beating Triple Crown winner Secretariat, the 2-5 favorite.I grew up watching my dad run in all these races when I was a little kid and how important it was - the Brooklyn, the Suburban, the Woodward - because we were New York people and [in] New York racing all our lives, Jerkens said. Its what we want.Shaman Ghost won the Brooklyn by 4-1/4 lengths on June 11 but ran fifth in the Grade 2 Suburban. He came out of the race with a cough and his subsequent training was interrupted by inclement weather. Thus, Jerkens initially wanted to wait until next Saturdays $100,000 Seattle Slew Stakes at Belmont Park to use as a prep for the Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont on Oct. 8.Jerkens said Stronach wasnt crazy about the idea.The Woodward meant taking on Frosted, who was coming off dynamic victories in both the Metropolitan Handicap in June and the Whitney in August.Jerkens hoped that those two races may have taken a toll on Frosted.His last two races were through the roof. They just dont duplicate it all the time, Jerkens said. I was kind of surprised he ran in here.Frosted had shown speed winning the Whitney in front-running fashion. Saturday, he broke awkwardly under Joel Rosario and brushed the side of the gate. He was sixth early as Bradester went to the lead under Joe Bravo and set modest fractions of 24.38 seconds for the quarter-mile, 48.43 for the half, and 1:11.97 for six furlongs while being kept in the No. 3 path. He was being chased by Breaking Lucky and Samraat.Shaman Ghost was a relatively close-up fourth, while Frrosted raced in sixth position about six lengths off the pace.ddddddddddddEntering the far turn, Shaman Ghost, Samraat, and Frosted launched their bids. But with Bradester in the No. 4 path and Breaking Lucky off his flank in the No. 5 path, Shaman Ghost, Samraat, and Frosted had to come six, seven, and eight wide.Meanwhile, Mubtaahij, who raced in seventh under Irad Ortiz Jr., was able to save some ground around the turn and entering the stretch. He made a bid for the lead at the eighth pole inside of Shaman Ghost, who was splitting horses, Breaking Lucky, who was persevering, and Frosted, who was still under a hand ride.Little separated that quartet from the sixteenth pole to the wire, but Shaman Ghost was able get up over Mubtaahij, Frosted, and Breaking Lucky.I almost decided to go around the horses but when I see Frosted he went out wide, I thought the only chance I could beat him was cut the corner, split horses, and go from there, Castellano said.Shaman Ghost, last years Queens Plate winner and a son of Ghostzapper, covered the 1 1/8 miles in 1:48.92 and returned $20 to win.Rosario never went to the whip on Frosted, but he explained that in previous rides on the horse he didnt respond well to being hit.Every time I rode him, when you hit him with the whip he dont like that too much, Rosario said. When Im turning for home I thought we were going to be home free and at the eighth pole I thought we were okay. Just the last 20 yards he hung a little today.Kiaran McLaughlin, the trainer of Frosted, said the trip probably cost his horse.I thought we were going to get there, but the horse was very wide and the fractions werent very fast, McLaughlin said. He just didnt have his A game today.McLaughlin said it was too early to say what the future holds for Frosted, who has already secured fees-paid berths into the Breeders Cup Classic at 1-1/4 miles and the Breeders Cup Dirt Mile. Frosted is winless in three tries at 1-1/4 miles.McLaughlin is also the trainer of Mubtaahij, who despite breaking from the outside post had a good trip in comparison to his rivals, but couldnt match strides with Shaman Ghost late.Mubtaahij ran great, post position hurt him, McLaughlin said.It is likely that Shaman Ghost and Mubtaahij will meet again in the Jockey Club Gold Cup.
