SUZUKA, Japan -- Mercedes has withdrawn the protest it lodged against Max Verstappen at the Japanese Grand Prix, allowing the FIA to publish the official race classification four and half hours after the chequered flag fell at Suzuka.In a bizarre turn of events, Mercedes initially protested Verstappens defence of second place from Lewis Hamilton at Suzukas final chicane, arguing that the Dutch teenager drove erratically and in a dangerous manner. However, by the time the protest had been lodged and the stewards convened for a hearing, both Hamilton and Verstappen had left the circuit and were unable to give evidence.Under FIA procedure, the stewards decided to defer the investigation to the U.S. Grand Prix, meaning the result of the Japanese Grand Prix was set to remain provisional until the next round in two weeks. At that point Mercedes withdrew the protest, just one hour and 20 minutes after it had been officially lodged.The plot appeared to thicken soon after when Hamilton took to Twitter to say: There is no protest from either myself or @MercedesAMGF1. One idiot said we have but its not true. Max drove well, end of. We move on.It is not clear who Hamilton was referring to as an idiot, but the tweet was later removed and replaced with the following post.Asked why the protest had been withdrawn, a Mercedes spokesperson said: We have done this in the interests of establishing a final official result this evening once it became apparent that the hearing could not be concluded today.As a result, Verstappen will keep his second place finish at Suzuka ahead of Hamilton in third. http://www.officialraidersgear.com/Raiders-Donald-Penn-Draft-Jersey/ .

Ellis hit two-run homers and the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Diego Padres 4-0 Saturday night. 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 oon 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.ddddddddddddim 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.
