Trainer 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.

ATHENS, Greece -- All the injuries Belgium were worried about became irrelevant once its World Cup qualifier against Bosnia kicked off on Friday.Bosnia was beaten 4-0, and Belgium was two-for-two wins in Europes Group H.BELGIUM 4, BOSNIA 0The European Championship quarterfinalist exposed weaknesses in a Bosnian defense that relied on heavy tackles and buckled in the 26th minute when Emir Spahic scored an own goal.Two minutes later, Belgium turned on the magic: A gifted touch from Dries Mertens found Eden Hazard, who ran around defenders and chipped the ball past goalkeeper Asmir Begovic.Coach Roberto Martinezs men kept up relentless attacks, the Bosnians no match for the speed of winger Yannick Carrasco.The normally well-composed Bosnians were forced into spells of panic defending, and Toby Alderweireld made it 3-0 on the hour, facing away from the goal as he tapped in a corner kick from Mertens.Romelu Lukaku started the night as the lone striker for Belgium at King Baudouin Stadium and was marked out of most of the game. He should have scored midway through the second half and made amends in the 79th. Besieged by five Bosnian players, he swung in the fourth.Only Lukakus miss was a shame, Martinez said. The score was beautiful and the play was attractive.

We scored good goals but at times lacked composure. Thats something we need to work on. But were improving with every game and with every win.ESTONIA 4, GIBRALTAR 0Estonia beat Gibraltar 4-0, all scored in the second half.
