Ryan Moore admits Minding hasnt had an ideal preparation for Fridays Investec Oaks at Epsom - but he cant find a rival hes afraid of either. He was aboard the Aidan OBrien-trained filly for an impressive win in the Qipco 1000 Guineas at Newmarket but the pair then met with a surprise defeat in the Irish equivalent at the Curragh.The daughter of Galileo banged her head on the stalls prior to going down in a photo finish to Jet Setting but her jockey is more inclined to blame the ground rather than that incident for the result. Writing in his exclusive Betfair blog he said: My high opinion of this filly is well-known and I was gutted that she got beaten in the Irish 1,000 Guineas. But it was a late decision to run in the race after Ballydoyle was found to be off-colour and the fact that she banged her head coming out of the stalls didnt help.However, ultimately, I think that she just found the ground too soft for her against a filly who relished the conditions, and the pair did pull 10 lengths clear of the third. So, yes, you could say that she hasnt had an ideal preparation for this race and that she would want better ground, though it can dry out very quickly here. And she obviously has her stamina to prove. But I think she will stay okay, and you have to look at the opposition when making those kind of assessments.In my opinion she will stay well enough in this company, as I think the formbook tells you that she goes into the race as much the best filly and, to be honest, I am struggling to see one that I am afraid of.Moore also partnered the other Ballydoyle runners, Seventh Heaven and Somehow, to victory in their Epsom trials at Lingfield and Chester respectively.He added: Because Seventh Heaven didnt handle the track when beating Architecture at Lingfield, it has been suggested that she wont handle Epsom. I dont buy that argument myself. Lingfield was hard and rough and had holes in it - I walked the track beforehand - and I think we can rest assured that Epsom will present a better surface. Seventh Heaven is a nice big, scopey filly with improvement in her, but soft ground could be a worry for her.Aidans other filly, Somehow, was very green at Chester and would have learned a great deal that day, but the bare form of that race - where Diamonds Pour Moi finished third - does leave her with an awful lot to find with Minding, and the likes of Turret Rocks.Speaking to At The Races, OBrien added: Everyone is happy with the way everything is with Minding so far. She hasnt done much since The Curragh, but Yvonne who rides her every day, was very happy with her this morning. Youre never sure stepping up from a mile to a mile and a half but she has form with an ease in the ground.Both of the other fillies, youd say Epsom might be a little tricky for them, but both have come forward since then very well. I suppose Colms filly [Seventh Heaven] wouldnt want the ground to get too soft, whereas Seamuss filly [Somehow] might just handle it that little bit better, like her mother did.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee defensive end Derek Barnett is downplaying the notion that Saturdays game at No. 8 Texas A&M represents an opportunity to show hes the nations top pass rusher.Barnett says he isnt concerned with measuring himself against Texas A&M star defensive end Myles Garrett. The Tennessee junior instead wants to make sure the ninth-ranked Volunteers (5-0, 2-0 SEC) maintain their momentum in this matchup of unbeaten teams.I play against the offense, so Ive just been watching film of the offensive guys, Barnett said. They have a great offense as well. Myles is a great ballplayer. I think it will be a fun game.It will be even more intriguing if Garrett is healthy enough to play for Texas A&M (5-0, 3-0). The 2015 Southeastern Conference sacks leader missed a 24-13 victory at South Carolina last week with a leg injury, and Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin has declined to provide an update on Garretts status.Garrett, also a junior, has 27 career sacks to lead all active Football Bowl Subdivision players. Barnett isnt far behind with 24. Barnett has 41+ tackles for loss, while Garrett has 38+.ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay ranks Garrett second and Barnett 16th among all draft-eligible players regardless of position. Rob Rang, a senior draft analyst for CBS Sports and nfldraftscout.com, ranks Garrett first overall and rates Barnett as a late first-round pick. Rang also lists Texas A&M defensive end Daeshon Hall as a potential second-round pick.(Barnetts) powerful at the point of attack, a very effective run defender as well as a pass rusher, Rang said. Hes a good football player. I just dont know that hes quite as athletic as the other two (Garrett and Hall). His production certainly speaks for itself, and the consistency throughout his career.Tennessee coach Butch Jones praises Garretts relentless approach and calls him a very, very dynamic football player. Tennessee offensive coordinator Mike DeBord adds that Garrett has got every move known to mankind.Sumlin is equally complimentary of Barnett.Hes a tremendous athlete, a tremendous football player, Sumlin said. You play a lot of guys in this league who are high-level pass rushers that have ability, that have talent. But I tthink what sets him apart, a lot like Myles Garrett, is production.ddddddddddddYouve got the top two most productive pass rushers in college football over time in this game with him and Myles.Barnett has been at his best lately.In Tennessees SEC opener, Barnett recorded two sacks as the Volunteers rallied to beat Florida 38-28 . He posted two more sacks and forced an end-zone fumble that resulted in a touchdown in a 34-31 triumph at Georgia last week.Barnett believes he still has room for improvement.After every game, theres always something I can do better, he said. I didnt play my best game against Georgia. I was a little sloppy with my technique.Barnett has carried a defense that is missing three key players , with injuries sidelining linebackers Jalen Reeves-Maybin and Darrin Kirkland Jr. plus cornerback Cam Sutton. For much of his career, Barnett preferred to lead by example, but hes become more vocal this year.Everyone talks about his productivity on the field and being a great football player, and he deserves that, Jones said. But his leadership, I think, is one of the most untold stories or unsung things about this football team.Jones coached Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Antonio Brown at Central Michigan and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce at Cincinnati. He continually gives examples of how those players work habits in college helped them launch successful NFL careers. Jones says he expects to tell similar stories about Barnett for as long as Im in coaching.Jones calls Barnett a self-made person in every way, shape, form.When you graduate and leave our football program, youre going to want to come back here one day with your wife and your kids, Jones said. When you walk through these hallways, what are they going to say about you? How have you made the program better? Hes one of those individuals who will have an impacting impression on our football program for many years to come.---AP Sports Writer Kristie Rieken in College Station, Texas, contributed to this report.---Online:The APs college football page: http://collegfootball.ap.org ' ' '
