ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions have signed running back Justin Forsett to bolster their short-handed backfield.Forsett was released earlier this month by Baltimore after asking to be let go. He was on the inactive list two weekends ago and there didnt seem to be much playing time with the Ravens in his future.The Lions are trying to patch up their backfield, which is missing Ameer Abdullah because of foot problems.Forsett ran for 1,266 yards in 2014. He broke his arm last season after playing in 10 games.The Lions also announced Tuesday that they have re-signed offensive lineman Brian Mihalik to the practice squad, waived linebacker Steve Longa and released defensive end Wallace Gilberry from injured reserve.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Greg Eurell could dominate the undercard to the Ballarat Cup with three of the trainers four runners early favourites in their respective races.Eurell has targeted Saturdays $100,000 Vobis Gold Eureka Concrete (1400m) with Urban Ruler since the three-year-old won his most recent start in Adelaide in September.Based on what he did in Adelaide we felt he just wasnt quite up to the spring horses just yet, Eurell said.So giving him a let-up and targeting this Vobis race on Saturday just looked ideal for him.His fitness levels are good and I think hell be very competitive.Urban Ruler is at $2.80 while stablemates Galaxy Raider ($2.30) and Ma Deuce ($4.60) are also early favourites in benchmark races.Galaxy Raider put his rivals away by six lengths in a 1411m race at Sale last start and Eurell said it indicated the step up to 1600m in the SUEZ McKellar Mile would suit.I thought it was an extremely good run last start, Eurell said.The barrier played against him and he was stuck deep but he stuck to his guns and certainly hit the line as youd like to see him hit the line.Hes come out of thhat run terrific so it looks a nice race for him.ddddddddddddightly raced Ma Deuce resumes in the Thomas Jewellers BM70 Handicap (1100m) for his first start since back-to-back wins at Ballarat and Pakenham in March and April.Eurell said the gelding had a swollen hock which appeared to have rectified itself during a winter spell.For whatever reason his hock blew up and it was one of those things where we couldnt find anything wrong with him, Eurell said.He said it had not worried him since his return to work with the trainers only concern the race is 1100m not 1200m.In saying that the horse is pretty sharp in his work at the moment so hell run a pretty cheeky race, Eurell said.Gold Bar, a winner at Sale two starts ago, has had a freshen-up since an unplaced run at Caulfield on October 1. She has barrier one and is an $18 chance in the Sam Miranda Mares BM78 Handicap (1200m).It looks a good race for her, Eurell said. Shes drawn to get the run of the race. ' ' '
