Ruling Court, trained by Charlie Appleby and ridden by William Buick, cane out on top in the Betfred 2000 Guineas at Newmarket.
The choice of William Buick, the son of Justify was ridden confidently by the Godolphin No 1, with Kieran Shoemark never far behind on the John and Thady Gosden-trained Craven scorer Field Of Gold, as they raced from stalls 11 and 10 respectively.
Shoemark was still motionless as Buick was urging his mount to quicken entering the dip, where Ruling Court showed a willing response to soon head the Classic field and join stablemate Shadow Of Light, who had emerged as a real danger from those who started on the far side.
Ruling Court’s stamina came to the fore as he knuckled down to fight his Dewhurst-winning stablemate in the closing stages and having beaten off that rival and Mickael Barzalona, he kept on strongly as Field Of Gold came home strongly to get within half a length of the 9-2 scorer.

Rumstar in Royal Ascot picture with Palace House win
Rumstar enjoyed the biggest success of his career with a taking performance in the Hong Kong Jockey Club World Pool Palace House Stakes at Newmarket.
Jonathan Portman’s five-year-old won the Cornwallis over track and trip as a juvenile and ended last season by scooping Listed honours at Ascot, but put himself in the picture for all the major sprinting prizes this season with victory in this Group Three event.
Sent off at 7-1 in the hands of Robert Hornby from stall one, the son of Havana Grey moved stylishly into contention approaching the final furlong and showed plenty of speed to run down Irish raider She’s Quality before asserting in the closing stages to score by a length and a quarter.
Rumstar tasted success at Newmarket
Portman said: “We’ve very much been looking forward to running him, it seems a long time since October – he’s been in fantastic form, he looks stronger this year.
“It’s great to be winning in this company. When he won at Ascot we were worried it would be too soft, I think he’s fine unless it’s too heavy. The Rowley Mile has been very kind to me, we’ve won lots of nice races here. We’ll be back whenever we can.
“I think we had him where we wanted him for today. Sprinters can improve with age and he’s definitely stronger this year, I don’t weigh them but he’s definitely heavier.”
Rumstar was cut to 25-1 from 50s for the King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot and that could Group One event could now be on the agenda.
Portman added: “I had to ring the owner the other day to ask permission to enter him for £4,000 or whatever it was to put him in at Royal Ascot and he still hasn’t recovered today, so hopefully now I’ve spent it we’ve probably got to go there now.
“Do I think he’s a Group One sprinter? Probably not, but with these sprinters you never know. There’ll probably be plenty from overseas, but this is where we want to be.”

Man Utd secure third and WCL place with dramatic Man City draw
Manchester United secured third place and Champions League football with a 2-2 draw against rivals Manchester City at Old Trafford despite seeing Aoife Mannion sent off in the second half. United only had to avoid defeat to ensure their spot among Europe's elite next season but gave themselves a mountain to climb when Laia Aleixandri and Rebecca Knaak fired City into a two-goal lead. The former danced into the penalty area and curled home the opener, after United saw a goal disallowed for Elisabeth Terland earlier in the game, before Knaak powered her header home from a corner to double the advantage.Grace Clinton then drifted in at the back post to pull the hosts back into the fixture, marking a frantic end to the second half, which saw three goals scored in the space of seven minutes.A tamer second half […]
CBF divulga áudios do VAR de lances que revoltaram o Internacional em jogo contra o Corinthians; veja
O jogo entre Internacional e Corinthians, ontem, na Neo Química Arena, pela 7ª rodada do Brasileirão, foi recheado de gols e de polêmicas. O time gaúcho reclamou bastante — inclusive nas redes sociais — de um possível pênalti sofrido pelo atacante Wesley, ainda no primeiro tempo, e da penalidade assinalada a favor do Timão já no fim da partida. Por isso, a CBF divulgou, na madrugada deste domingo, os áudios do VAR nos lances polêmicos do confronto. O árbitro Paulo Renato Moreira da Silva Coelho, responsável pela arbitragem de vídeo, não recomendou a revisão do juiz de campo, Paulo César Zanovelli da Silva, no primeiro lance por entender que quem busca o contato é o jogador do Internacional. VAR: “Quem busca o contato embaixo é o jogador do Inter. Ele bota a mão no peito do jogador do Corinthians e […]
