A weaker than expected field for the Sandown Guineas has convinced trainer Sam Pritchard-Gordon to give stakes-placed filly Soviet Secret her shot at the $250,000 Group Two race,Pritchard-Gordon had originally planned to run Soviet Secret in Saturdays $120,000 Twilight Glow Stakes (1400m) for fillies at Sandown but thin nominations coupled with a track gallop which suggested she might be looking for 1600m, prompted him to aim at the richer race.The plan had always been to go to the Twilight Glow because shes well-suited to fillies grade at set weights and penalties, Pritchard-Gordon said.But the nominations are weak in the Guineas and her work on Monday on the course proper at Mornington was good without being sharp and if I had gone to the 1400-metre race I would have been inclined to put the blinkers on.I just felt the Sandown mile, coupled with the fact that I didnt think it was a particularly strong edition of the race, probably suited her down to the ground.Pritchard-Gordon said testing Soviet Secret over 1600m for the first time would also help shape the fillys next campaign.The Sandown Guineas has nine acceptors with Carbine Club Stakes runner-up Mortons Fork favourite at $2.25 ahead of the in-form Darren Weir-trained filly Jennifer Lynn at $4.Soviet Secret is at $21 after breaking through in a maiden at Pakenham last start over 1400m.Soviet Secret was second in the Merson Cooper Stakes on debut at the corresponding Sandown meeting a year ago and was stakes-placed twice during her four-start juvenile season.Pritchard-Gordon had hoped Soviet Secret might have been up to the Thousand Guineas earlier this spring but said she didnt spell particularly well and he wasnt happy with the way her earlier in her campaign.Soviet Secret only made her return in a maiden at Cranbourne on October 7, finishing second, before her narrow win at Pakenham.Shes taken a while to come up this preparation, full stop, which is why we found ourselves only breaking our maiden three weeks ago, Pritchard-Gordon said.But shes finally come to hand and Im happy with the way shes going.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Derek Holland is a free agent after the Texas Rangers declined their $11 million option on his contract and instead chose to pay the left-hander a $1.5 million buyout.The AL West champions announced the move Monday, but left open the possibility of re-signing Holland.Holland was part of Texas only two World Series teams in 2010 and 2011, but has missed significant time because of injuries the past three seasons.The Rangers appreciate the many contributions that Derek Holland has made to this franchise, both on the field and in the community, general manager Jon Daniels said in a statement. While todays action doesnt necessarily close the door on our future interest in Derek, we want to thank him for the impact he has made here.In 179 career games for Texas, Holland is 62-50 with a 4.35 ERA. He was a 25th-round selection in the June 2006 amateur draft and signed with the Rangers the following May.Holland was 7-9 with a 4.95 ERA in 22 games this season while also spending time on the 60-day disabled list for a third consecutive season. He missed two months with left shoulder inflammation.In other news, the Rangers as expected said they will make a $177.dddddddddddd2 million qualifying offer to free agent outfielder Ian Desmond, who has until next Monday to accept. If he declines and signs with a different team, the Rangers would receive an extra draft pick following the first round next year.The Rangers didnt make qualifying offers to first baseman Mitch Moreland or right-hander Colby Lewis.Desmond made the All-Star team this year and hit .285 with 22 homers and 86 RBI after signing an $8 million, one-year deal with the Rangers in late February and converting to the outfield. He was a shortstop the previous seven years in Washington, but turned down a $15.8 million qualifying offer from Nationals last offseason.Texas also reinstated designated hitter Prince Fielder from the 60-day disabled list, a necessary procedural move even though the slugger signed through 2020 has ended his playing career.The 32-year-old Fielder announced in August that he wouldnt be able to play again after his second neck surgery in just more than two years. He will go back on the 60-day DL before the 2017 season. ' ' '
