vTrainer Kenny Black, once a jockey of considerable renown, will be running a horse in the Breeders Cup for the first time on Nov. 5, when he saddles What a View in the $2 million Mile against the best the U.S. and Europe have to offer.There will be a brief pause while those familiar with the Kenny Black saga come to terms with this information.What a View belongs in the Mile. The 5-year-old son of the Danzig stallion Vronsky is 5 for 5 on the Santa Anita turf course, including a victory in the Grade 1 Kilroe Mile over a strong field last March.Black, 52, has handled What a View with aplomb. The nearly black gelding was a thinker as a young horse and suffered a couple of fluky backstretch frights that gave him the heebie-jeebies. Black and his crew -- which includes his brother, the successful journeyman rider Corey Black -- have worked wonders putting What a Views head right, and now they are in a position to reap the rewards on the grandest stage the game provides.Its a long way from the back roads and bushes of Montana and Idaho, where Kenny Black spent time in self-imposed exile from the bright lights of the business. Black was a brilliant riding prodigy as a teenager and considered a stone-cold star of the future who sacrificed his best chance at the altar of drugs and booze.That Black has cleaned up his act and resurrected his career in the sport to stand at the threshold of a memorable Breeders Cup experience is a testament to his determination, his ability as a horseman, and the backing of the family of the late Buddy Johnston, a pillar of the California Thoroughbred community.Can you believe it? Black said Wednesday after he saw What a Views name listed in the main body of the Mile pre-entries. Im still pinching myself. Definitely, the dress codes been lowered a little bit.Black, a native of Utah, is cowboy through and through, although he cleans up well and will be looking bright as a new penny on Breeders Cup Saturday, when he leads What a View through the gauntlet of fans in the Santa Anita paddock.Im the only trainer I know in Southern California that still works all his own horses, Black said. And since it hasnt been all that long since I quit riding, I like to think I know what Im seeing out there in a race. I guess that means Im not too easy to ride for.Black tried to resurrect his career in Southern California in the mid-to-late 1990s, but he never could replicate the success of his youth. He ended up working as an assistant, training a few on his own, and even trying his hand at movie work on feature films like Seabiscuit and 50 to 1, in which he played the part of real-life jockey Casey Lambert.Jim Wilson, the director of 50 to 1, said he needed a jock with a lot of attitude, Black said. They told him I was perfect. But I had a heckuva time with the lines. We must have tried 50 takes. They told me to just improvise, and I nailed it in one take. The crew gave me a standing ovation, though I think it was because they could finally go home.Black worked alongside Don Warren with the Johnston stable, handling 2011 Eclipse champion Acclamation and stakes winner Vronsky, among others. When Warren retired in 2014, Black got the job, and What a View has been his hallmark horse.After winning the Kilroe Mile, What a View was given time off. Black brought him back to finish eighth in the Shadwell Turf Mile at Keeneland.Maybe Frankel or Mandella could have had him dead fit off a six-month layoff for Keeneland, but Im nowhere near as good as them, Black said. No way was I treating it like a Breeders Cup prep, though. I wanted to win the friggin race.My original plan was to take him to Kentucky Downs and run him in a 6 1/2-furlong race four to five weeks before the Shadwell, he said. But I missed a couple works at Del Mar when he had that same thing going around that knocked out Melatonin and some others for a while. So, I had to scrap the plan.Shortly after the Shadwell, Black let it be known that Kent Desormeaux would be replaced aboard What a View for the Breeders Cup. His phone lit up with calls from agents representing top jocks across the land.Right there alone tells me weve got to be pretty live, Black said. At least it makes me think Im not drinking my bath water for wanting to run.Black and the owners turned to Tyler Baze for the mount on What a View.He worked him the other day and went outstanding, Black said. Tylers like a little brother to me. Ive got a lot of faith in him, and I know hell follow instructions.Those instructions probably will be a variation on let him roll, since What a View does his best work when allowed his head. Standing near Black during the race could be an adventure since this will be a moment like no other in his colorful career. And if the dream comes true?You better get the Oscar ready for drama, he said. Because you know Ill cry.

LOS ANGELES -- Fourteen months later, Brandon McCarthy surprised himself by shaking off the nerves he expected to have in his first start after more than a year rehabbing from Tommy John surgery.I thought thered be more, but once I started getting loose it felt very normal, he said.McCarthy settled down to throw five scoreless innings in the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-1 victory Sunday over the Colorado Rockies.Weirdly, it almost felt like Id taken a week off since last year. It felt like a continuation. That was a nice surprise. In the past, Ive had that before after a rehab where Ive come out and felt like a hyped-up rookie.McCarthy (1-0) held the Rockies to a pair of singles in his first major league start since April 25, 2015. He struck out eight and walked one.The Dodgers won their ninth straight at home and their sixth game in seven overall, powered by solo homers by Trace Thompson and Yasmani Grandal.Instead of crumbling after getting the news that Clayton Kershaw was headed for the disabled list, the Dodgers have won four straight.I think Kersh will tell you everyone is the same here, Thompson said. Obviously, were not. In our eyes hes the best player in baseball. We cant replace Clayton Kershaw. Everybody just has to do a little bit more, thats all it really is.Thompson homered to right-center off Rockies starter Jon Gray (5-4) to lead off the second inning, giving the Dodgers a 1-0 lead.Grandal led off the eighth with a home run off reliever Chad Qualls that landed over the left-center field wall, just beyond the grasp of a leaping Charlie Blackmon.Daniel Descalso provided the Rockies only run with a homer on a 3-2 pitch from reliever Casey Fein with one out in the seventh.The Rockies were unable to get a baserunner past second base in the three-game series, scoring their only runs on solo homers by Descalso and Nolan Arenado. In the series, they managed just 12 hits in the three games while striking out a combined 41 times.It was just a terrible series. Way too many strikeouts, said Rockies slugger Carlos Gonzalez. Not creating situations for each other. It was just bad overall.I feel like the entire series was our fault. The pitchers did a great job. (Jorge De La Rosa) gave us a chance to win and we didnt. Gray pitched great today. You just have to blame it on the offense. You cant win if you dont score.Corey Seager lined a hard single to right in the first inning to extend his hitting streak to 16 games, tying him with Miamis Marcel Ozuna for the longest in the National League this season. Seager went 2 for 4 and is hitting .dddddddddddd415 during the streak (25 for 67).Kenley Jansen pitched a scoreless ninth for his 24th save.Justin Turner had a one-out, RBI single in the second, his eighth hit in his last four games.The victory gave the Dodgers their fifth series sweep of the season, and their first over the Rockies since April 17-19, 2015.For McCarthy, the start was his fifth in a Dodgers uniform since signing a four-year, $48 million contract before last season. He was 3-0 in four starts before the elbow injury that required surgery.KERSHAW CLUBSince getting the news that Kershaw was going on the disabled list, Los Angeles starters (Kenta Maeda, Bud Norris, Scott Kazmir and McCarthy) over the last four games have given up one run and eight hits in 23 innings.LIGHTS OUT IN LAThe Rockies have scored just two runs in their last four games in Los Angeles, and one run or less in seven of their last 10 games, dating back to May 17, 2015. The Rockies are 5-17 in Los Angeles since June 16, 2014.RINSE, REPEATThe Dodgers came into Sundays game with a 46-37 record, the identical 83-game mark they posted in both 2014 and 2015.TRAINERS ROOMRockies: RHP Tyler Chatwood (back), sidelined since June 18, will start for the Rockies against the Giants. ... SS Trevor Story was much, much better as he recovers from a finger injury, manager Walt Weiss said. Hes swinging in the cage and looks really good. Its just a matter of if he gets jammed or hits a ball off the end of the bat, how is it going to affect him. Story pinch-hit in the eighth and struck out.Dodgers: Hyun-Jin Ryu could return to the Dodgers rotation as early as this week, said Dodgers President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman. Ryu has made eight rehab starts as he recovers from surgery to repair his left shoulder, which has sidelined him since the beginning of the 2015 season. The Dodgers are deciding if Ryu needs one more rehab start.NEXT UPRockies: LHP Tyler Anderson will make his fifth start of his career Monday against the San Francisco Giants.
