    NEW YORK -- California Chrome beat out an idiosyncratic horse racing rule -- by a nose. [b]Air Max 270 Cheap[/b] . An only-in-New York equipment ban appeared ready to put a kink in the colts U.S. Triple Crown try at the Belmont Stakes. But the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner was cleared to wear the nasal strip he has worn all through a six-race winning streak that has set him up for a chance at U.S. horse racings 12th Triple Crown. New York racetracks have a rule prohibiting any equipment not specifically approved by stewards, and nasal strips were not on their list. A statement from the New York Racing Association and the states Gaming Commission on Monday said the tracks three stewards unanimously agreed to lift the ban. The strip worn by California Chrome is thought to assist airflow through the nostrils -- something that should come in handy on June 7 for Belmonts grueling run. "It opens up his air passage and gives him that little extra oomph that he needs, especially going a mile and a half," trainer Art Sherman said. "Any time you can have a good air passage that means a lot for these thoroughbreds." Sherman raised the possibility his horse wouldnt run in the Belmont if barred from using a nasal strip. Two years ago, Doug ONeill trained Ill Have Another to victories in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness with the colt wearing a nasal strip. New York officials told ONeill his horse couldnt wear one in the Belmont. The issue became moot when Ill Have Another was scratched the day before the race because of a leg injury. There hasnt been a Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978, and the sports popularity has waned in the nearly four decades since. But it gets a boost every time a horse heads to the Big Apple with a Triple Crown on the line.

Holding the puck near the right-wing boards, Brandon Sutter passed to Kris Letang, whose own backhanded dish landed on the stick of Despres at the point. His harmless flip to the net beat a screened Cory Schneider to complete a comeback from one goal down late in regulation. Chris Kunitz registered a power-play goal with 3:11 remaining for the Penguins, who won for the second time in their last seven games. Marc-Andre Fleury needed to make only 13 saves. Our energy on the bench was high and our attitude was dont get down, keep going, said Kunitz. It may be one of our best efforts all year of playing that 60-minute game. Steve Bernier tallied for the Devils, who had won two in a row. Schneider ended up with a season-high 41 saves in defeat. The hosts had a chance to seize control early, as Max Lapierre and Steve Downie were whistled for simultaneous infractions, giving the Devils a full two-minutes 5-on-3 at 6:39 of the first period. New Jersey came up with two shots and nothing close to a goal. Schneider made 14 saves to keep the game scoreless while his offense mustered four. The second period passed with only nine combined shots, six to the Penguins. Despres swept a loose puck out of the crease after Deevils veteran Patrik Elias whiffed just under two minutes into the third. [b]Nike Air Max Plus Wholesale[/b]. Bernier snapped the scoreless deadlock at 6:08 of the third, when his wraparound try at the left post slipped by Fleurys pad and crossed the goal line. Schneider slid to deny Sidney Crosby in front just prior to the midway point, seconds before Crosby hit the post on a wide-open chance at the right side of the crease. Pittsburgh tied the game shortly into a power play as Kunitz converted a Crosby rebound. That was the only time the visitors punctured Schneider, who didnt wilt under a 20-shot barrage in the third. No penalty at that time is a good penalty. It gave them life. Couldnt afford to do that, said Devils defenseman Peter Harrold, who committed a high- sticking foul with 3:29 to play.
