ONTHEAIR Chrome will break from the No. 3 post, a spot that has seen 11 winners but none since Prairie Bayou in 1993. "If he runs his race, and he's come back good from the Kentucky Derby, he should be tough in there," Espinoza said. Social Inclusion is the 5-1 second choice and is one of eight horses coming in fresh, having skipped the Kentucky Derby. Only two Derby horses — Ride On Curlin (seventh) and Gen- eral a Rod (11th) — have re- turned to challenge Califor- nia Chrome in the Preak- ness. "You need a good trip, a good setup and to have ev- erything go your way," said Mike Maker, who trains General a Rod. "Obviously, California Chrome is head and shoulders above every- body so far. He's proved it, and every race, he's contin- ued to do so." Other rival trainers aren't conceding the race to California Chrome, either. Billy Gowan oversees Ride On Curlin, who has started just as many races in his young career (10) as the Derby winner. He'll have a new jockey in Joel Rosa- rio, who replaces Calvin Borel. "I've got a whole lot of respect for California Chrome," Gowan said, "but I'd like to try him one time at the top of the stretch and see how we are." That's the point in the race where Espinoza has turned California Chrome loose during their winning streak. In the Preakness, the speed horses will break from the gate on the outside of California Chrome. Rivals like Social Inclusion and Ride On Curlin could try to box in the Derby winner in an attempt to put pressure on him early. "But he's not chicken- hearted, by no means," Sherman said. "My biggest concern is the first 70 yards leaving the gate. I don't want him to get impeded be- hind horses with no place to go. All you can do is hope for a good trip." Sherman calls Califor- nia Chrome a "push-button horse," meaning Espinoza can pretty much position the colt anywhere he wants in the race. "He doesn't have to go to the lead, but if you ask him to run, he'll give you a burst," the trainer said. "The way he wins races, blows them away, blows my mind." Still, six of the past eight Derby winners did not win the Preakness. There's a posse of con- tenders that would love to extend that history. One of them is Social In- clusion, who will be making just the fourth start of his career and first since finish- ingthirdintheWoodMemo- rial more than a month ago. He's trained by 85-year-old Manny Azpurua, who would become the oldest winning trainer in the 139-year his- tory of the Preakness. Another is Ria Antonia, the first filly to run against the boys since Rachel Alex- andra won in 2009. She is on a streak of her own, hav- ing lost six straight races. Borel, who rode Rachel, is aboard. And there's Hall of Fame trainerBobBaffert,whowill try to win his sixth Preak- ness with Bayern, a colt dis- qualified for bumping in his last start in the Derby Trial at Churchill Downs. Post time is 318 p.m. PDT. Horses FROM PAGE 1 By Jerry McDonald MediaNewsGroup University at Buffalo de- fensive coordinator Lou Tepper cringed when a lo- cal police officer told him he'd had an encounter with one of his players a couple of months back. "You hear that, you start to twitch a little bit," Tep- per said. Dennis Gilbert, a cop who is also the football coach at St. Joe's High in Buffalo, recognized Khalil Mack immediately. Mack ap- proached Gilbert holding a small white purse he'd found in a snow bank. "He wanted to know if we could find the owner," Gil- bert said. A fellow officer opened the purse to find an iPhone, credit cards, cash and jew- elry. A short time later, the purse and its contents were returned to the grateful owner who had been retrac- ing her steps a block away, frantic and losing hope for its return. "You always hear the sto- ries about kids who do the wrong things," Gilbert said. "Here's a good kid, doing the right thing, making the right decisions." Even with the back- ground checks necessitated for a top-10 pick, the Raid- ers hadn't heard of Mack's act of integrity. Even with- out it, they were convinced Mack was worthy of being the face of their defense for the next decade in making him the fifth pick of the NFL draft. The Raiders rookie draft class, plus undrafted free agents and some players on a tryout basis, convene at the club's rookie camp starting Friday. Mack re- portedly signed his rookie deal Thursday and will be ready to go. Mack, according to those who know him best, is described as earnest and hard-working, driven to be the best. It's only between the white lines where he shows an edge. "Off the field, he's the nic- est, most humble, sweetest kid you could ever meet in your life," said Waides Ash- mon, Mack's coach at West- wood High in Port St. Lucie, Fla. "On the field, he plays mad, with a chip on his shoulder, and that's excit- ing to watch." Ashmon had been at Westwood for a month when an assistant told him about Mack, a junior basketball player who had recovered from a torn patellar tendon and hadn't played football since his freshman year. "In the spring, my coach came into my class room, picked me out of class and I have been playing football ever since," Mack said. As the two stood in the hallway, Ashmon saw a 6-foot-1, 215-pound physical specimen "with the muscles coming through his clothes" and asked Mack, "What do I need to do to get you on the football field?' "He said, 'Coach, I would love to play. You've just got to talk with my dad,'" Ash- mon said. Ashmon pulled out his cell phone on the spot and made his pitch to Sandy Mack. "I've never done this be- fore, but I told him if you al- low Khalil to come play for me, I promise he will go to college for free," Ashmon said. Mack led Westwood with 140 tackles on a 10-2 team, but with only one year of varsity football in a talent- laden state, only Liberty University of Lynchburg, Va., was interested. How- ever, when a Liberty assis- tant accepted a job at Buf- falo, it helped land Mack a full scholarship. "He just got overlooked," Ashmon said. "Coaches would come in and say he looks the part, but they didn't have enough film on him. I'd tell them, I don't care what y'all say, the kid's going to be a first-round draft pick in five years." Tepper, the Buffalo defen- sive coordinator since 2012, has coached at nine schools since 1967 and put 20 line- backers on NFL rosters. At Illinois in 1996, when Tep- per was the head coach, the Illini had linebackers Kevin Hardy and Simeon Rice taken with the No. 2 and 3 selections in the NFL draft. "I've only had a few play- ers who were what I call complete linebackers, that could play anywhere in a 3-4 or a 4-3 defense," Tep- per said. "Oakland is getting someone with the talent to be a star at any of those po- sitions." Now 6-foot-2 and 251 pounds, Mack's ability to range sideline-to-sideline, rush the passer (28.5 career sacks) and strip the ball (16 forced fumbles) is enhanced by a will to prepare as well as to win. "When he gets a tip sheet every day, he's got a high- lighter out and works on it," Tepper said. "He knows how to work. He learns from written material, he learns from briefing mate- rial, he learns from walking through, and when the ball is snapped he'll play fast." Mack finds motivation from perceived slights. He was so insulted by an EA sports video game which gave him a mediocre rank- ingof"46"thathemadeithis uniform number at Buffalo. When an Ohio State as- sistant coach assessed Mack as"just a guy" going into the 2014 season opener, Tepper called Mack "JAG" all week. Mack responded with 2.5 sacks, a 45-yard in- terception return and nine tackles against the Buck- eyes. Buffalo head coach Jeff Quinn said Mack's drive re- minds him of Joe Staley, the 49ers tackle who he coached at Eastern Michigan. "He's as gifted a player as I've ever coached," Quinn said of Mack. "He lives it and loves it." Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie said Mack "plays the game the way it's supposed to be played. He plays hard, he plays phys- ical, he goes from snap to whistle. You might call it a chip on his shoulder or you can just call it being a foot- ball player." Mack's mother Yolanda, an elementary school teacher, said of her son, "We all have something where we're a '10.' Khail was al- ways athletic, always com- petitive in that way. Even at 5 he was doing pushups. He had these muscles." Outgoing and team ori- ented, Mack entertained Buffalo teammates occa- sionally by singing and play- ing the guitar. His personal- ity is in stark contrast to the last linebacker the Raiders took in the first round, the aloof and perpetually disin- terested Rolando McClain at No. 8 in 2010. Ashmon, who was with the Mack family in New York at the draft, laughed as he recounted the post- draft scene. "He'll probably kill me for telling this story, but we were up in in his hotel room that night, he strips off his shirt, and he's jumping around, saying, 'Let's play right now!,'" Ashmon said.
