Joseph O’Brien was positive and kicked well clear entering the final furlong but the 2-1 favourite was clinging on at the finish, with Russian Soul gaining with every stride, before getting home by a short head. Jamesie was not far away in third. The rider said: “The last day at Ascot was a bit of a shock to his system. “He was better today and I probably got to the front too soon, but around here I needed to ride him a bit more positive as he gets the trip well. “When he gets fast ground and a straight track I don’t know how high he can go. “He is entitled to go back into Group company now and he’d handle hard ground. “It was grand safe ground today, but anything worse than good to firm he wouldn’t really like it.” It was the second leg of a double for the O’Briens but there was nearly an almighty shock in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden with long odds-on favourite Cape Clear Island clinging on by a nose from Windsor Beach. Cape Clear Island had been a beaten market leader twice already but that did not stop punters piling in, forcing his price into 1-5 at the off. Aidan O’Brien’s American import Darwin got his career back on track with victory in the feature Belgrave Stakes at Fairyhouse. All looked to be going smoothly as he kicked clear well over a furlong out, but his mount proved awkward, first veering to his left and hampering Baldonnel, and then as Windsor Beach came with a rattling run from the rear Cape Clear Island edged towards him. Favourite-backers initially had to endure a wait to hear if he was first past the post, which he was by a nose, and then a lengthy discussion by the stewards but the placings remained unaltered. The John Oxx newcomer Looper made a highly encouraging debut in third. Cape Clear Island is entered in the Phoenix and the National Stakes later in the season. “I think he’s better than he’s showed so far. I’d get there later if I could do it again,” said Joseph O’Brien “He just got beaten at the Curragh but the winner (Accepted) went on to win a Listed race at Tipperary yesterday and he is entitled to go up in class now.” The good run of form from the Ger Lyons stable continued as Greek Canyon (11-2) battled back gamely to land the Lyrath Estate Hotel & Spa Summer Ladies Day Handicap. Always up with the pace, he looked like being swallowed up a furlong out as Invincible Ridge and Kiss The Stars headed him. Colin Keane refused to accept defeat on the five-year-old and to his credit he fought back to lead on the line to beat Kiss The Stars by a short head. “He’s fair genuine. He won four last year when we needed winners and that’s our 30th this season,” said Lyons. “He was sold as a two-year-old to go to Hong Kong but he failed the vet.” Dermot Weld’s Emerita (2-1) looks a name to remember after cruising to victory in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden. Only fifth on her debut last month, she looked a different proposition on this occasion and it was obvious from a long way out that she was travelling better than the favourite Tap Dancing, who yet again had to settle for second. Emerita was a well-backed 2-1 chance and was heavily eased down by Pat Smullen on crossing the line. Weld said: “She’s crying out for a mile and a half. You won’t see her a lot this year as she’s a lovely big filly for next year.” Jim Bolger’s is another stable in red-hot form and he was on the mark with Teoirim (5-2) in the Fingal Ravens Apprentice Rated Race. Ger Flynn, Bolger’s travelling head lad, said: “She has been on the way back, she was second in Down Royal and then fourth to Panama Hat. “Ronan (Whelan) said she relished the ground and the trip. He sent her for home early and she got the job done.” Press Association When he beat Gordon Lord Byron this time last year the future looked bright for the former Todd Pletcher inmate, but in three runs since then he had failed to trouble the judge. He had been well-beaten twice behind Slade Power this season, most recently at Royal Ascot in the Diamond Jubilee, and was dropped markedly in class for the Listed contest against seasoned campaigners. read more

Lambert spotted Tadic’s talent while he was in Holland and wanted to bring him to the midlands. “We tried to get Tadic here, the January before last,” the Scot said. “We tried to do something, but couldn’t do it. “That’s the way it goes, because he’s a good player. So we’ve known about his talents for a while now, but we couldn’t quite get it done. “There were loads of factors which just meant we couldn’t get it done. “It was January 2013, he was at FC Twente and they were looking for a right few quid.” Southampton have won 11 of their last 12 games while Villa are winless in seven outings – losing six of them. Villa ended the losing streak with a 0-0 draw at West Ham before the international break and must beat Saints goalkeeper Fraser Forster, who Lambert managed at Norwich. He took the England man on loan from Newcastle before he joined Celtic and Forster helped them to promotion from Sky Bet League One in 2010. Press Association Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert has revealed he tried to sign Southampton midfielder Dusan Tadic in January 2013, but could not complete a deal with FC Twente. Tadic joined the Saints for a reported £10.9million in the summer and has been key in their rise to second in the Barclays Premier League. The Serbia international will face Villa on Monday, but could well have been lining up in Villa colours. “It doesn’t surprise me with Fraser because I had him at Norwich in League One, we tried to re-sign him permanently but we couldn’t do it at that time,” said Lambert, with Forster having joined Saints for £10million from Celtic in the summer. “He was pivotal to Norwich going up. I remember him making a save against Tranmere one day that I thought ‘bloody hell, what a save’. “He made saves that I thought a goalkeeper couldn’t make at certain times. He’s a great big guy, top class, but we couldn’t do it at the time. He was one of the main players for Norwich getting up – he’s a top guy.” Forster has conceded just five league goals this season, while Villa have netted only five times. “They’ve started the season really well, although I’m pretty sure their bigger tests will come when they play the big ones as well,” Lambert added. “You can’t take anything away from them – they’ve started the season well. (But) if we do what we’ve been doing in the last two games, we will certainly give them a game, that’s for sure.” read more

Madrid: Zinedine Zidane made shock return as coach of Real Madrid after the club decided on Monday to sack Santiago Solari. Madrid president Florentino Perez met with the board and resolved to dismiss Solari. Zidane had resigned nine months ago at the end of last season. Zidane will be in charge for Madrid’s La Liga game at home to Celta Vigo on Saturday. His priority will be to secure Madrid’s place in the top four after a turbulent fortnight that has seen them lose twice to Barcelona and knocked out by Ajax in the Champions League. The announcement was announced on the club’s official Twitter page and Perez had a joint press conference with Zidane, making the announcement formal. “The best manager in the world has rejoined the club. Our destinies are once again united,” Perez said. Zidane has been appointed as manager for a three-year term.Zidane won UEFA Champions League in each of his three seasons in charge at the Santiago Bernabeu, as well as La Liga in 2016-17, while enjoying a strong relationship with the majority of the players.  Real Madrid were dumped out of the Champions League by Ajax.Real Madrid are currently in third position in the La Liga.Real Madrid lost twice to Barcelona. Gareth Bale was one of the few not to see eye-to-eye with the Frenchman and Bale’s future will become even more uncertain under Zidane’s helm. Sergio Ramos had said earlier on Monday he accepts blame for the club’s “deeply disappointing” season but insists the players have no say on the coaching situation. Ramos posed a series of questions to himself on social media after Madrid had beaten Real Valladolid 4-1 in La Liga on Sunday night. “As footballers we like to do our talking on the pitch but this season is not turning out that way,” Ramos wrote. “Recent events have been disastrous and I’m not hiding. We are not hiding. We the players are primarily responsible and I, as captain, more than anyone.” On Solari’s position, Ramos said: “It’s a decision that’s not ours to make and in which we never interfere. We have enormous respect for the position and we always support the Real Madrid coach. “These reflections are, without doubt, the result of a deeply disappointing season but if success didn’t stop us, we’re not going to let defeat stop us. It’s our obligation to carry on, to work and to evolve.”   highlights For all the Latest Sports News News, Football News News, Download News Nation Android and iOS Mobile Apps. read more

The trophy is engraved with the name of Kenesaw Mountain Landis in large letters. Landis was baseball’s first commissioner and there were no Black players in the majors during his reign from 1920 until his death in 1944. His name has been on every American League and National League MVP plaque since then. Barry Larkin, Terry Pendleton and Mike Schmidt say they’d like to see it pulled off.Toward the end of his tenure as commissioner, Landis told owners they were free to sign Black players.

Cycling’s world governing body has requested the withdrawal of the Astana team licence.The UCI announced the dramatic move on Friday after receiving an audit of the controversial Kazakhstan-based team.Doping scandals have plagued the team and its associates.Astana’s main rider is reigning Tour de France champion Vincenzo Nibali, who is not one of the riders implicated in doping.There was uproar in the sport last November when the UCI granted Astana the WorldTour licence, subject to the audit.”After careful review of this extensive report, the UCI strongly believes that it contains compelling grounds to refer the matter to the Licence Commission and request the Astana Pro Team licence be withdrawn,” the cycling body said in its statement. “The UCI considers that the … audit has, among other things, revealed a big difference between the policies and structures that the team presented to the Licence Commission in December and the reality on the ground.”The audit was conducted by the Institute of Sport Sciences of the University of Lausanne.The UCI added it had received sections of an Italian anti-doping investigation.”As some evidence concerns Astana Pro Team members, the file has been passed to the Licence Commission as part of this referral,” the UCI statement said. read more

The Bulldogs put in a horrible performance in Round 4, losing 36-0 to the Manly Sea Eagles – making 12 errors and missing 29 tackles in the process. It has left Canterbury reeling in 13th position with just one win for the season, but Brisbane are expecting an improved showing when the two meet at ANZ Stadium. The Broncos are high on confidence after a 13-12 win over the Canberra Raiders at Suncorp Stadium in Round 4, with the win moving them into the top eight. It wasn’t a perfect performance by Wayne Bennett’s men, but it will fill his side with confidence after two closes losses to Melbourne and North Queensland earlier in the year. Brisbane will now look to make it two wins in a row but it won’t come easy, with second-row forward Sam Thaiday warning his side of a Bulldogs team ready to bounce back.”Manly certainly haven’t helped us out at all. I’m sure the Bulldogs will be going through the footage from the game wondering what went wrong,” Thaiday said. “The coach is under pressure and there are players under pressure as well so they’ll be ready to play the Broncos come Thursday night. “We as a team need to make sure we get better and have our heads screwed on come Thursday or else we’ll be embarrassed against Canterbury.” One aspect of Brisbane’s game that hasn’t been embarrassed is their bench, with their four-forward rotation working wonders in 2017. The experience of Alex Glenn mixed with the youth of Tevita Pangai Jnr, Herman Ese’ese and Jai Arrow has been a real strength of the Broncos this year, with the benchwarmers often outshining their counterparts in the starting side. They will need to be good again this week against a huge Bulldogs forward pack ready to lift for their primetime match-up. And Thaiday has backed his bench to do just that, talking up his young teammates as some of the best in the game. “The bench has been fantastic. They’ve trained very hard throughout the pre-season and they deserve their opportunity,” he said.  “Those four guys on the bench probably have the most important job because they can really swing the game in your favour. “The young guys like Herman [Ese’ese], Tevita [Pangai Jnr] and Jai Arrow are tackling their butts off and have been fantastic for us. “That’s helped all of us out a lot, especially the starting forward pack.” read more

ST JOHN’S, Antigua: West Indies Cricket Board’s chief executive officer Michael Muirhead is optimistic about what the Super50 tournament can achieve in a few years. Muirhead made his comments following a successful end to the West Indies Cricket Board’s flagship regional one-day international tournament – the NAGICO Super50. The tournament, which ended on Saturday in Trinidad and Tobago, saw the defending champions, Trinidad and Tobago Red Force, take the title. In a release yesterday from the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), Muirhead said that he was delighted with the opportunities the tournament presented and indicated that in future years, “there is a direct opportunity for corporate partners to align themselves with the WICB”. POSITIVES The tournament, which has been held under the NAGICO banner for the past three years, has had a number of positives, and Muirhead said, “We are hoping to improve on some of the issues we encountered.” He highlighted the performances of the players: – Darren Bravo (Trinidad and Tobago Red Force) who was the top scorer with 274 runs. – Suliemann Benn (Barbados Pride), the leading wicket-taker, with 15 wickets. Four others took 14 wickets – Jon-Russ Jaggesar (TT Red Force), Damion Jacobs (Jamaica Scorpions), Delorn Johnson (Windward Island Volcanoes), and Veerasammy Permaul (Guyana Jaguars). – Three of the existing franchises had at least three players making debuts: Jaguars – Gudakesh Motie, Romario Shepherd and Kevon Boodie; Scorpions – Brandon King, Aldane Thomas, and Jermaine Harrison; Pride – Roston Chase, Justin Greaves, and Dane Currency. – The invited ICC Americas gave an overall credible performance. They had two games where they scored over 200 runs and some of their other games were lost in close encounters. “The potential for this tournament is tremendous, and in keeping with the board’s policy on selection, this pool of players will form the platform from which the West Indies ODI final team is selected for international home, and away series,” said Muirhead. The ODI Tri-Nation series featuring South Africa, Australia and the West Indies will be held in June this year and the “best available eligible players will be selected.” The CEO was adamant that the ninth-place ranking in World ODI was not something he wants on the record for much longer and said that he hoped for gradual improvement over the short to medium term. The four-day regional Professional Cricket League resumes on Thursday, February 11, after which the men’s and women’s teams will participate in the ICC World T20 in India. The men’s team is expected to be announced shortly. read more
