  • Top Jockey, Trainers and Owner Awards up for Grabs at Royal Ascot
    TOP JOCKEY, TRAINER AND OWNER AWARDS UP FOR GRABS AT ROYAL ASCOT 15th June 2020 Awards for leading jockey, trainer and owner will once again be distributed at this year’s Royal Ascot. Frankie Dettori claimed the QIPCO Leading Jockey Award at the Royal Meeting in 2019 with seven victories, thanks largely to a superb four-timer on day three. The 49-year-old looks set to have another excellent book of rides this year as he aims for a seventh title at the meeting. With Jamie Spencer sidelined through injury, Ryan Moore is the only other jockey riding this week to be previously crowned top jockey at Royal Ascot, having claimed the most recent of eight meeting titles in 2018. Due to the protective measures in place this week, there will be no transferable armband for the leading jockey throughout the meeting. Aidan O’Brien received the QIPCO Royal Ascot Leading Trainer Award for a 10th time in 2019 and looks to have his string in top form once again. Other previous winners who will be hoping to have a good week include Sir Michael Stoute, John Gosden, Mark Johnston and Saeed bin Suroor. Paul Cole, who was leading trainer at Royal Ascot in 1994, will aim to create history by becoming the first British-based trainer with a joint-licence to win at the meeting, having gone into partnership with his son Oliver at the start of the season. Simon and Ed Crisford, another father and son combination, will also be looking to saddle the ground-breaking first.

  • Kitata Sprints to London Marathon Win As Kipchoge Suffers Rare Defeat Favorite Kipchoge Fades to Eighth After Suffering Cramp
    14 Established 1961 Sports Monday, October 5, 2020 Photo of the day Eagle lifts England’s Reid to LPGA lead in New Jersey NEW YORK: Mel Reid fired an eagle and three birdies in a five-under par 66 on Saturday to seize a one-shot lead going into the final round of the LPGA ShopRite Classic. England’s Reid, who was one off the pace head- ing into the round, had 15-under par total at the Seaview resort in Galloway New Jersey, and was one in front of Americans Jennifer Song and Jennifer Kupcho, who both shot 65. It’s the second straight event that Reid, a six-time winner on the Ladies European Tour, has held the 54-hole lead in search of a first LPGA Tour title. She was two-up through three rounds in Portland but finished tied for fifth in a tournament won by com- patriot Georgia Hall in a playoff. “Another great opportunity this week to get it done,” Reid said. “Tomorrow I’m going to take my time a little bit more, and hopefully it will make a bit of a difference.” Reid put herself in position again with a quick start at Seaview, where she birdied the first and third. She was on the green in two at the par-five ninth and two-putted for birdie and a birdie at the 10th put her alone atop the leaderboard. “I knew it was always in me to do this,” Reid said. “I wasn’t sure how to get there. It has just taken me a lot more years than I expected it to.” Kupcho and Song both birdied the par-five 18th to close the gap.

    Zabeel Mile, jockey competition conclude Carnival By Michele MacDonald Full Stride Communications With horses from all over the world scrambling for their last chance to collect an invitation to the Dubai World Cup (G1) program on March 27, Friday’s seven contentious Thoroughbred races with full fields guarantee a dramatic end to the 2010 Dubai International Racing Carnival at Meydan Racecourse. Adding even more zest to the occasion is the “Meydan Masters” international jockey competition in which Americans Kent Desormeaux and Aaron Gryder, who has been riding recently in Hong Kong, will pit their skills against colleagues from Japan, Australia, Europe and the United Arab Emirates in a four-race battle. In the grand finale to Friday’s program and the Carnival, a dozen runners are poised to compete for the trophy in the $250,000 Zabeel Mile (G2) on turf. Godolphin’s Group 1 winner Rio de La Plata will try to reclaim his best form in his first start of the year and South African and English group stakes winner Imbongi is seeking a win after his unlucky nose loss in the Al Fahidi Fort (G2) on February 19. Rio de La Plata, a five-year-old son of Rahy bred in Kentucky, won the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere Grand Criterium (G1) as a two-year-old in France and finished second in the Poule d’Essai des Poulains (French Two Thousand Guineas) (G1) the following spring. While clearly possessing class, he has not won in six starts since his juvenile season. Frankie Dettori rides Rio de La Plata from the rail post.
