LONDON (Reuters) - Kentucky Derby-winning trainer Bennie 'Chip' Woolley believes that the American challenge for the Dubai World Cup is over for the "foreseeable future' and that his countrymen will not risk their best horses there.
His comments to Reuters come after Saturday's first running of the world's richest horse race worth $10 million on Tapeta, a synthetic surface that saw the unlikely victory of Gloria de Campeao at the new Meydan racecourse.

WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Tiger Woods will be judged by his golf rather than taunted for his extra-marital affairs when he returns to action at next week's U.S. Masters, according to his caddie Steve Williams.
New Zealander Williams told TVNZ on Tuesday that the crowd at Augusta National would be too respectful to barrack Woods who has admitted he was nervous about the reception he would receive after his four-month break from the game.

EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (Reuters) - The New Jersey Nets avoided any chance of tying the record for the worst ever NBA season by beating the San Antonio Spurs 90-84 on Monday.
The victory was their 10th of the season, meaning they cannot equal the record of futility held by the Philadelphia 76ers, who finished the 1972-73 season with a record of 9-73.
