Chris Waller will let the dust settle on Who Shot Thebarmans performance in the Zipping Classic before deciding whether he returns to New Zealand to try to win a second Auckland Cup.The durable stayer finished fifth the Melbourne Cup and fillied the same position in his attempted defence of Saturdays Group Two 2400m-race at Sandown won by Beautiful Romance.Who Shot Thebarman won the 2014 Auckland Cup for trainer Mark Oulaghan and is among nominations for 2017 with the 3200m-race on March 11, four weeks before the Sydney Cup.Waller took over Who Shot Thebarmans training in the autumn of 2014 and the gelding finished third in the Melbourne Cup later in the year behind Protectionist and Red Cadeaux.Second in the 2015 Sydney Cup won by stablemate Grand Marshal, Who Shot Thebarmans owners still live in New Zealand and Waller is also keen to take a horse back to his homeland for a Group One race.Ive never had a Group One winner in New Zeland. I dont think Ive ever had a placing, Waller said.Theve changed the conditions of the Auckland Cup to set weights and penalties which means a horse like Who Shot Thebarman gets in well.It is certainly tempting.Waller has won more than 60 Group One races in Australia including the past two Cox Plates with Winx.He will have another New Zealander in his stable with Shillelagh to remain in Australia following a mixed five-start spring campaign.The mare won a benchmark race at Caulfield, finished second in a Group Three race at Flemington and fourth in Saturdays Summoned Stakes at Sandown.Adidas NHL Jerseys From China .

However, coach Chip Kelly said Kaepernick would be eased back into full participation in practices and ruled him out for Saturday nights exhibition game against the Broncos.Kelly said the plan outlined by the teams medical staff in consultation with Kaepernick called for the quarterback to ramp up his practice participation next week with the notion of getting playing time in the teams third exhibition at home against Green Bay on Aug. 26.Theyre easing him back into throwing right now, Kelly said. In talking to him, he says he feels really good. But we dont want to throw him back out there and then have a setback. From what we understand, its not a long-term thing but were just getting him back into it. Thats the plan, to see if he can, so that hes a full go to get ready to play the following week.Kaepernick started by throwing passes of about 10 yards to assistant equipment manager Doc Dressler. Running back Carlos Hyde also came over to catch a few passes from Kaepernick, who later stretched out his throws to about 25 yards.Throughout the various side sessions and distances, Kaepernick was throwing tight spirals with plenty of zip. His participation in individual footwork and dropback drills was strong annd crisp.dddddddddddd.The team had Kaepernick back off his passing work after he experienced shoulder soreness following practice on Aug. 10.Gabbert was expected to start against the Broncos on Saturday night with Jeff Driskel also seeing time.Christian Ponder, signed earlier this week to bolster the teams quarterback depth, also was expected to see action.The 49ers lost quarterback Thad Lewis to a season-ending knee injury in their exhibition opener last Sunday against Houston.Ponder was out of the league last season after being released in training camp by the Oakland Raiders.Hes got to knock the rust off a little bit but for the first time out there, he did a good job, Kelly said of Ponders initial practice with the team Wednesday. Obviously, if we get him in the game Saturday, it will be limited in terms of, `What do you feel real comfortable throwing? What do you feel real comfortable running?Game notesHall of Famer Charles Haley has been on the practice field with his old team working with the 49ers pass-rushing linebackers. Hes really been an invaluable tool for us, Kelly said. Theres a tremendous amount of knowledge that he has and he has had tremendous success in this league. ... If he can impart some of that on our young guys, we want to have him around as long as Charles wants to be around. ... The 49ers wrapped up a second day of joint practices with the Broncos. Tempers flared several times between the teams but the skirmishes between players were quickly brought under control.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
