Samoa going toe to toe with Australia is something else, barely a whisper of the Rugby League World Cup in the UK, didn’t even know it was happening!
The DP World Tour is going to be seriously exciting next season. With LIV gone, just watching Hatton and Rahm go toe to toe this week is a small glimpse of what we could be treated to. Imagine that level of competition week in, week out. LIV won’t be missed. ⛳️
Ignoring the rugby, at Aintree Idem wins for Lucinda Russel, who has started the season brilliantly and is flying the Saltire for Scottish racing 🏴 🐎
Jordie Barrett has just run full pelt into Kinghorn, completely lost control of his body and initiated head to head contact and somehow hasn’t seen at minimum a yellow card? Make it make sense?Scotland have been terrible defensively but the refereeing has been terrible.
Nearly 10 years of Gregor Townsend, another World Cup cycle coming to an end and we’re still making the same mistakes. Yet somehow, Gregor remains untouchable. This Scotland team doesn’t know how to get over the line unless it’s against England.
This game is Scottish rugby in a nutshell. Brilliant going forward, can’t defend, and can’t take advantage of key moments.
Gstaad has been retired to Coolmore. The Aidan O'Brien colt won the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot and the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar as a two-year-old, then the Irish 2,000 Guineas by three lengths.
Notable Speech runs in the Breeders' Cup Mile at Keeneland on Saturday, his last race before retirement. The Godolphin colt won this race at Del Mar last year and is after his eighth top-level win. Charlie Appleby has won the Mile a record four times.
My picks for Saturday. Five I like across Ayr, Down Royal and Southwell, with the two Down Royal horses short in the betting. Early prices will move, so reasons below 🐎 👇🏻
Two from my tracker run at Southwell. Dumfries at 4.00 is a course and distance winner at 12/1. Tiora Time at 5.05 drops from Class 2 to Class 3 at 10/1. I'm only watching them.
