Matt McKay isnt one for individual acclaim but even he concedes his milestone match on Friday night against Melbourne Victory is worth celebrating.The veteran Brisbane Roar midfielder will reach 200 A-League games on Friday night, becoming just the sixth player to do so at the same club.To get 200 is pretty special, he said on Thursday.But for one of the most understated players in the league, its never been about himself.Titles is what I pride myself on and Ive got a couple of those so Im happy with that, he saidMcKay, 33, is hopeful of improving his figures on both counts before his career is out.The Roar skipper kiboshed any notion of 2016/17 being his last season.Im pretty sure it wont be my last season, no, Im definitely sure, he said.I love the game. Its been my life for a long time now and Im really looking forward to this season (to) make myself a better player.New to the club or old to the club like myself, we want to be successful.As a playing group weve got a great character and that will show as well this year.If we improve as a team well go close this year.He also wants a return to the Socceroos setup.The midfielder was on the pitch when Australia claimed the Asian Cup last year but has been overlooked for recent squads given the A-League has been in hiatus.Gone are the days where youre out of season and you get selected for these teams, he said.If Im involved in the future itll be purely on form so Im looking forward to getting back into it.McKay joins Andrew Durante, Eugene Galekovic John Hutchinson, Archie Thompson and Leigh Broxham as players to have reached a double-century of appearances at the same home.Coach John Aloisi praised his influence on the club.Hes a great club man (and) a great Queenslander, he said.Not only is he captain, he leads by example.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. -- As confident as trainer Tony Dutrow was that his 2-year-old Mo Town was going to run a big race in Saturdays Grade 2 Remsen Stakes at Aqueduct, he didnt necessarily know if that would be good enough to win it.The horse was coming off a two-month layoff, missed a scheduled start in the Nashua in early November due to a sore gluteal muscle, and was facing a fast and formidable foe in Takaful.But none of that mattered Saturday as Mo Town rallied past the pacesetting Takaful in midstretch and easily held No Dozing at bay to win the $300,000 Remsen Stakes by 2-1/2 lengths and give Dutrow and his new partners reason for optimism as they look ahead to the colts 3-year-old year.I feel very strongly we have not seen what this horse is capable of yet, Dutrow said in the winners circle.What we have seen so far is a talented, well-bred colt -- hes a son of Uncle Mo -- who has now won two of three starts, including a graded stakes going 1-1/8 miles around two turns. The win in the Remsen gave Mo Town 10 qualifying points toward the May 6 Kentucky Derby under a system utilized by Churchill Downs should the Derby, as usually happens, draw more than 20 entrants.Mo Town won despite having to be the one to make the first run at Takaful, who was bet to 4-5 favoritism after an impressive maiden wing going 6-1/2 furlongs at Belmont on Oct. 29. Takaful broke awkwardly, and when he recovered, he dragged jockey Jose Ortiz to the lead, opening up a 4-1/2-length advantage after running an opening quarter in 23.47 seconds.Mo Town, under John Velazquez, was fourth going into the first turn, but when neither Newman nor Win With Pride decided to go after Takaful, Velazquez felt he had to with Mo Town and moved him within a length of Takaful after a half-mile in 48.84 seconds.Nobody wants to go with him, so I had to do the dirty job, Velazquez said.Mo Town tracked Takaful from a length behind through six furlongs in 1:14.02. Mo Town drew closer approaching the quarter pole, drew on equal terms at the three-sixteenths, and moved into the lead before the eighth pole.ddddddddddddHe extended his advantage in the final furlong, which he ran in 12.71 seconds, and covered the 1-1/8 miles in 1:51.59. He returned $10.40 as the second choice.I thought in watching the race that Mo Town was very comfortable the entire race, Dutrow said. Ive always felt like he was a good horse; for him to prove this much so far, I got to feel great.Mo Town lost his debut on Travers Day at Saratoga and then won a one-mile maiden race at Belmont by seven lengths on Sept. 24. It was after that race that Dutrow and his Team D Stables sold a majority interest in Mo Town to the Coolmore connections of Susan Magnier, Derrick Smith, and Michael Tabor.Dutrow said Mo Town would winter in Payson Park in Florida, and if it was up to him, he would like to bring the horse back to New York for the Grade 3 Gotham at Aqueduct on March 4.No Dozing, coming off a fourth to Classic Empire in the Breeders Futurity, had a wide trip, breaking from post 9 under Daniel Centeno, and was simply second-best.He ran great. I wish he would have had the opportunity to save a little bit more ground, trainer Arnaud Delacour said. Nobody to blame, just circumstances. We had an outside post. Its a little bit hard, but he ran a really good race.Takaful had everybody excited after his eight-length maiden win at Belmont. Still, going from one 6-1/2-furlong race to 1-1/8 miles is a big jump, and the awkward start definitely didnt help.The break didnt help us, and he looked like he was pretty keen the first eighth after the break, but he dug in and held on for third, said trainer Kiaran McLaughlin.Following Takaful, the order of finish was Win With Pride, Youre to Blame, Tale of Silence, Tellmeafookystory, Hookup, Newman, and Lead Astray.
