Farce at Fontwell! Horse finishes nearly last, but still wins race 🧐
Dharma Rain was declared the winner of the final race at Fontwell after the first six horses home were all disqualified for failing to jump the third-last hurdle. Nine horses went to post in the “From The Horse’s Mouth Podcast” Mares’ Handicap Hurdle and while Just Henny came home first, the race was awarded to Dharma Rain, who was seventh of eight finishers, but the only runner to complete the course. Winning jockey Jack Tudor felt the situation had been “unclear” during the race, with the racecourse’s groundstaff appearing to be in the process of dolling off the third flight from home on the final circuit due to a stricken horse. The first seven riders seemed to think the markers were in position and duly veered around the hurdle, although Tudor, who was at the back of the field, was not sure and jumped the obstacle, resulting in victory for Clare Hobson’s runner. “It was made very unclear, it wasn’t done brilliantly at all. It looked as if the markers were in the correct position, it was a 50-50 call, but I went with my gut instinct,” Tudor told Sky Sports Racing. “I jumped it, but it was very unclear. The others missed it, but I could see that the markers were behind the hurdle, so I went with my gut instinct and jumped it – but it was very unclear.” Page Fuller, who was in the leading group on her mount Queen Among Kings, added: “The horse broke down at the hurdle, I was further back in the field and from where I was, the markers looked like they were in the hurdle. “But once we’d gone round the hurdle, you could see they were past the hurdle. There was a flag being waved and the markers looked as if they were in the hurdle, but until you got around the hurdle, you couldn’t see they (markers) were behind.” The stewards inquired into the race, interviewing Tudor along with fellow jockeys Jerry McGrath, Brendan Powell, Lucy Gardner, Harry Reed, Tabitha Worsley, Niall Houlihan and Fuller, plus the clerk of the course, the racecourse head groundsman and an additional member of the groundstaff. Having heard all the evidence and viewed recordings of the incident, the stewards revised the placings to make Dharma Rain the winner and only finisher, with all other runners, barring Bluebell Sally who was pulled up, disqualified for taking the wrong course. However, no penalties were imposed on any riders as the stewards took into account “the poor visibility, and the illusion that the chevrons had been placed in the hurdle – which was caused by the chevrons being carried across the course behind the hurdle, which gave riders’ cause for concern for the safety of all involved”. A report will be forwarded to the head office of the British Horseracing Authority. ------------------- Enjoy the best of Sky Sports Racing on the free and award-winning At The Races app: iPhone: http://apple.co/1I4NxAV Android: http://bit.ly/1VPIcEz facebook.com/AtTheRaces twitter.com/AtTheRaces instagram.com/at_the_races
Le retour en grâce d'Eden Hazard fait grand bruit | Revue de presse
Le retour en forme d'Eden Hazard fait les gros titres, Pep Guardiola ne veut pas entendre parler d'un départ de Manchester City et rien ne va plus en Serie A, retrouvez dans votre revue de presse Foot Mercato les dernières informations de la presse sportive européenne. La résurrection d'Eden Hazard enflamme l'Espagne À Madrid, les polémiques et les critiques sont oubliées ce matin. Pour Marca, il y a même «quelque chose à célébrer» avec le retour en forme d'Eden Hazard. Face à Huesca, le Belge était titulaire et a inscrit un superbe but. Il a grandement participé à la victoire de son équipe (4-1). «Le Belge a été froid dans la célébration mais se montre de plus en plus intégré et en forme.» L'autre grand monsieur de cette rencontre n'est autre que Karim Benzema, auteur d'un doublé. Pour AS, cette nouvelle victoire des hommes de Zidane leur permet de prendre le large sur leur principal concurrent en championnat avec huit points d'avance sur le Barça. «Les Merengues se réveillent en tant que seul leader de la Liga !» En tous cas ce retour en forme d'Eden Hazard fait le bonheur de la Casa Blanca et ne passe pas inaperçu en Belgique où La Dernière Heure s'enflamme avec un «Hazard buteur, enfin le vrai retour !» Les déclarations de Guardiola sur son avenir font grand bruit En Angleterre, les déclarations de Pep Guardiola font grand bruit depuis hier. Alors qu'un retour du coach espagnol au Barça était évoqué ces derniers jours, Guardiola a tenu à mettre les choses au point après la victoire de City face à Sheffield (1-0). Cela fait d'ailleurs la Une du Daily Express où la déclaration de l'Espagnol ne passe pas inaperçue : «Je l'ai dit à de nombreuses reprises, ma période comme entraîneur de Barcelone est terminée, a-t-il confié. Je pense que dans la vie, on ne doit faire les choses qu'une fois. Je suis incroyablement heureux ici. Je suis ravi d'être à Manchester et j'espère que je ferai du bon travail cette saison pour rester plus longtemps.» De quoi mettre fin aux spéculations. Pour le Daily Star, «Pep fait un retour en arrière pour de bon», son avenir ne s'écrit plus au Barça ! Enfin, de son côté le Mirror revient sur la courte victoire de Liverpool (2-1) contre West Ham. Pour le tabloïd, il ne fait aucun doute que «les Reds sont de retour au sommet» et qu'il va être difficile de les déloger de leur place de leader de la Premier League désormais. Ronaldo attendu, l'Inter retenu, l'AC Milan a un coup à jouer En Italie, la Juventus attend de pied ferme le retour de Cristiano Ronaldo après presque trois semaines d'absences. Positif à la Covid-19, le Portugais est enfin rétabli et comme l'indique Tuttosport sur sa Une, c'est « la secousse CR7 pour la Juve. » «Les Bianconeri veulent retrouver la victoire à Cesena contre le Spezia. Cristiano est là et se sent prêt à jouer. » D'ailleurs comme l'a confirmé l'entraîneur de la Vieille Dame, Andrea Pirlo, la star sera associée à Paulo Dybala. Ce qui donne un nouvel élan à la Juve avec ce duo qui a fait tant de mal la saison passée. L'autre candidat au titre, l'Inter s'est pris les pieds dans le tapis hier soir face à Parme. Un match nul (2-2) qui fait la couverture du Quotidiano Sportivo. Et c'est la Var qui est pointée du doigt ce matin : «Une VAR cauchemardesque, la grosse colère de l'Inter, une véritable farce», écrit le journal transalpin. Marotta, le directeur sportif du club, n'a pas été tendre après la rencontre : «Ils nous ont refusé un penalty net», s'est-il emporté. L'autre Milan, lui, joue à 12h30 face à l'Udinese et a une belle occasion de conforter sa place de leader dans cette Serie A à rebondissement.

Player throws spare ball to 'tackle' opponent in Macedonia first division
A match between Makedonija Gjorce Petrov and Akademija Pandev descends into farce after a quick throw-in when one player chases another carrying a spare football. As the attacker surges down the wing the defender throws the spare ball at his feet, knocking the match away and causing the game to be stopped. Unfortunately for him his foul play results in a red card, despite his teammates protestations.

Ribéry à la piscine , c’est un gag ! || Ribery at the pool , it's a gag !
FRENCH- Généralement, "Kaiser Franck" aime faire tourner les autres en bourrique. Mais il sait aussi rire de lui-même. Franck Ribéry s’y est mis (très) tard, mais à désormais 34 ans, il maîtrise plutôt bien sa communication sur les réseaux sociaux. Si son compte Instagram, ouvert le 22 février dernier, est déjà suivi par 1,1 million de followers, c’est parce que "Kaiser Franck" y partage des moments de vie sympathiques qui font de lui un joueur assez attachant. Dernier exemple en date, mardi, pour son "premier jour de vacances", qu’il a passé au bord de la piscine. L’ailier français, sacré champion d’Allemagne avec le Bayern Munich pour la cinquième saison d’affilée, a bien fait rire toute sa petite famille en essayant de s’asseoir dans un fauteuil gonflable. Une tentative qui s‘est conclue en véritable cascade ! On le savait capable de faire les pires farces à ses coéquipiers ou aux membres du staff bavarois – le médecin du club s’en souvient encore –, mais l’ex-international tricolore sait aussi se moquer de lui-même. Et dans un milieu où les footballeurs prennent bien soin de ne pas froisser leur image, l’humour de l’ancien Marseillais est vraiment rafraîchissant ENGLISH- Generally, "Kaiser Franck" likes to turn the others in jenny. But he also knows how to laugh at himself. Franck Ribéry was there (very) late, but now 34 years old, he has a good command of his communication on social networks. If his account Instagram, opened last February 22, is already followed by 1.1 million followers, it is because "Kaiser Franck" shares nice moments of life that make him a rather endearing player. Last example on Tuesday, for his "first day of vacation", he spent by the pool. The French winger, crowned German champion with Bayern Munich for the fifth season in a row, made his whole family laugh while trying to sit in an inflatable chair. An attempt that ended in a real waterfall! He was known to be able to make the worst jokes to his teammates or to the Bavarian staff - the doctor of the club still remembers - but the ex-international tricolor also knows how to make fun of himself. And in an environment where footballers take great care not to wrinkle their image, the humor of the old Marseillais is really refreshing SPANISH- En general, "Kaiser Franck" como poner la otra loca. Pero también sabe reírse de sí mismo. Franck Ribéry puso es (muy) tarde, pero ahora tiene 34 años, llegó a dominar bastante bien su comunicación en las redes sociales. Si su cuenta de Instagram, se abrió el 22 de febrero, ya es seguido por 1,1 millones de seguidores, es porque "Kaiser Franck" son momentos de la vida de compartir simpáticos que le hace un jugador en lugar entrañable hacen. El ejemplo más reciente el martes por su "primer día de vacaciones," que pasó en la piscina. El extremo francés, coronado campeón alemán Bayern Múnich por quinta temporada consecutiva, una buena risa toda su familia tratando de sentarse en una silla inflable. Un intento que terminó en la cascada de verdad! Sabíamos capaz de las peores bromas a sus compañeros de equipo o miembros del personal de Baviera - el médico del club todavía recuerda - pero el primero tricolor International también conocido para burlarse de sí mismo. Y en un entorno donde los jugadores tienen cuidado de no ofender a su imagen, el humor de la antigua Marsella es muy refrescante LIKE, SHARE & SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE AND DAILY VIDEOS.
Chauncey Billups Exposes Chris Paul's Overrated Defense (Incomplete) - 2009 Playoffs 1st Rd
Billups completely annihilated Chris Paul in the 2009 Playoffs, after Paul had his best statistical year - joining Magic and Kevin Johnson as the only players to average 20-10 on 50% in a season (Magic and KJ did it twice each). Significantly better scoring, AST:TO ratio, and astronomical efficiency while playing less MPG. To put Billups 66% 3PT in perspective, the highest FG% that Shaq shot in a playoff series was 66% in the 1995 ECF. People often criticize players such as Steph Curry for hiding on defense, which is justifiable. However, Chris Paul never receives criticism for his shameless hiding on defense during the 2009 Playoffs, avoiding Billups like the plague for long stretches. In avoiding Billups so often, CP3 was just as culpable for Billups' offensive success as the times that Billups lit him up head to head, since the supposed "best defensive PG in the game" (a complete farce in reality) didn't put it on himself to stop the other team's PG often enough. When CP3 did have the guts to actually defend Billups, Chauncey lit him up several times. Not only through scoring, but also when Billups blew past CP3 with dribble penetration to set up easy scores for other teammates. When CP3 was hiding on weaker offensive matchups, Billups still found ways to create shots for those players so that they could also expose CP3's weak defense. Billups' destruction of the overrated Chris Paul in the 2009 Playoffs, after his best statistical year no less, is one of many examples proving that Chris Paul is nowhere near the "elite" defender he is made out to me. Indeed, he is not even average, but one of the biggest defensive liabilities of any offensive superstar in NBA history. Billups from 2003 to 2009 was supremely successful at making his team better to a high degree, something Paul has never done. The Pistons had not made an ECF since 1991 before acquiring Billups, and then made 6 straight ECF under Billups, including 2 NBA Finals and a championship. Billups made the 2007 and 2008 ECF without the help of 4x DPOY Ben Wallace, and Billups also didn't have Larry Brown after the 2005 Finals, yet still made 3 more ECF without the Hall of Fame coach. Granted, the East was weak after 2006, but likewise the 2009 Pistons were so weak without Billups that they went from 6 straight ECF to 39-wins and a first-round 8-seed sweep in the weak East, even with Rasheed, Prince, and Hamilton on the team, after going to 6 straight ECF with Billups. Billups then came to the tougher Western Conference, and picked up where he left off, taking the 2009 Nuggets from a first round 8-seed sweep in 2008 to the 2009 WCF, while completely exposing and outplaying Paul in the process. In his first year in the tough Western Conference, Billups did what Paul hasn't been able to do in his entire career, and led a mediocre first round team to the 2009 WCF. And this wasn't even prime Billups. Billups proved that he could take any 8-seed team in the East or West that would normally get swept in the first round - even a losing 39-43 Pistons team, and make them a Conference Finals contender, regardless of his statistical production. That's far more impressive than a guy who puts up first-round inflated playoff stats and never played a playoff team that was good enough to make the Finals. Chris Paul is the guy you want on a fantasy team, but Billups is the guy you want on a championship team Billups also elevated Carmelo's game to a whole other level while playing with him in Denver. As of 2015, Carmelo has shot 50% in only 15 out of 66 playoff games in his career, but 10 of those 15 games came while playing with Billups in 2009 and 2010. Carmelo shot at least 50% in 10 out of 22 playoff games with Billups, but only shot 50% in 5 out of 44 of his remaining playoff games. Rip Hamilton also averaged 20+ ppg in 5 of 6 playoff runs with Billups from 2003 to 2008, but only 13.3 ppg and 13.0 ppg in his other 2 playoff runs as a starter without Billups. Paul has never shown that he can elevate his team or teammates like Billups did. If you want empty stats, take Chris Paul, but your team damn sure isn't going anywhere. If you want your team to win games and make several Conference Finals, at the very least, and a guy who can still outplay superstars like Kobe (2004) and Paul (2009) when he has to, Billups is the clear and obvious choice. Billups is also the only player to shoot 50/40/90 under the non-shortened 3PT line in an NBA Finals, with 51/47/93 in the 2004 Finals (min. 1.5 3PA/game, 3.0 FTA/game). Penny Hardaway did this with the shorter line in 1995.
