Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - The Hebrews of the Jewish Bible waited for their redemption from bondage about 400 years. The Exodus lasted 40 years until they reached the Promised Land. The promised land for Fox Hill Farms 2-year-old Exodus has yet been reached in as much as the colt failed to break his maiden Sunday at Fair Grounds in New Orleans. The six-furlong Maiden Special Weight start was the colts second of his young career, coming off a third-place finish at Keeneland on Oct. 3. He just got a little tired in that Keeneland race, noted trainer Larry Jones, which I must say kind of surprised me. I thought that once he made the lead he would go on with it, but at Keeneland you can hook up with some very good horses. Exodus was recognized as the horse to beat in Sundays start at Fair Grounds. The betting public sent him off as the 3-5 favorite versus 11 other 2-year- olds. With veteran jockey Kerwin Clark in the saddle, Exodus bobbled at the start from post 8 and then was bumped hard by one of the other horses. Exodus raced wide around the turn but was second as the field turned into the stretch. The colt faded a bit to finish third, 8 3/4 lengths behind Distant Kingdom a 21-1 longshot with 22-1 outsider A M Milky Way, the pacesetter, holding on for place. We expect him to be one of our classic contenders down here, but only time will tell, Jones explained earlier last week. Were pretty high on him and have a lot of expectations. I dont think hell have any problem getting two turns. I have two half-sisters to him and one wants to go long and the other (allowance winner Thirteen Arrows) acts like she wants to be a little bit of a sprinter, but shes by Indian Charlie. The way he trains, hell definitely stretch out. Sired by two-time Breeders Cup Classic runner-up Medaglia dOro, Exodus was a $600,000 purchase by Fox Hill Farm owner Rick Porter at Fasig-Tiptons Saratoga Sale in August 2013. Exodus can follow in the hoofprints of previous horses Fox Hill and Jones have started in Fair Grounds stakes for 3-year-olds. Friesan Fire was the tracks leading 3-year-old in 2009 after sweeping the Lecomte, Risen Star and Louisiana Derby. However, Friesan Fire finished last as the favorite in the Kentucky Derby. Two years earlier, Hard Spun won the Lecomte Stakes by 6 1/2 lengths to begin his 3-year-old campaign. The colt would go on and get second to Street Sense in the Run for the Roses and was runner-up in the Breeders Cup Classic to Curlin. Optimism is still high for Exodus to begin finding the wire first and possibly bring owner and trainer that initial Kentucky Derby victory.

It is unclear exactly when Patterson originally sustained the injury, an ulnar collateral sprain to his shooting elbow, but after aggravating it in Fridays win over Sacramento the Raptors medical and coaching staff have decided to shut him down for the time being. "Its never a good time to lose a guy like him because he has been so important to us, offensively and defensively," Dwane Casey said, just over an hour before tip-off at The Target Center. "Its a big [loss] because of how he stretches the floor and the things he brings to the table." Patterson, acquired in a trade from Sacramento on Dec. 9, leads Raptors reserves in scoring, averaging 9.7 points in 39 games with Toronto this season. Playing a minute (per game) less than he was with the Kings prior to the trade, Patterson is averaging nearly three more points, shooting 49 per cent, up from 41 in Sacramento.

"[He] gives us that dimension coming off the bench.dddddddddddd As a big, [he] kind of changes the opposing teams mindsets when he comes in because hes a different player from Amir (Johnson) and [Jonas Valanciunas]. Its definitely a tough loss for us." The fourth-year forward will be re-evaluated in about a week and the team is hopeful that hell be available to return shortly after that. In the meantime, Tyler Hansbrough figures to absorb most of the 23 minutes Patterson was playing nightly. Bruiser Chuck Hayes and sharpshooter Steve Novak will also be in the mix, depending on match ups. "Everybody stays prepared and guys have done a good job of staying prepared," Casey said, "but [the] next guy up has got to be ready to step in and take up those minutes and produce. "Patricks been a big part of that, that depth at that position," he continued. "For the second unit, the energy he brings to the table, his shooting, his defence, his rebounding, just his overall intensity it really adds a lot to that second unit, which is huge. But again, we still have some other quality guys. Tyler Hansbroughs played a lot of playoff games, Steve Novak is one of our best shooters. So we have different guys that can step in and give us something different. So now is an opportunity." ' ' '
