Today is the 144th running of The Kentucky Derby. It dates back to 1875. The winner of that race was Aristides and the jockey was Oliver Lewis. The most wins by a jockey is 5 with Eddie Arcaro and Bill Hartack each achieving that feat. I went to the race in 1997 and saw Silver Charm win the run for the roses.

I will leave you with a 100 year old whimsical song about horses.

Well done South Africa, you won the whole thing fair and square because we cheated. Even if we bowl you all out in one go, it will be a hollow victory and mean nothing. No doubt, now when we beat Bangladesh as expected, there will also be a question hanging over us.

I think the crowd has behaved very badly, bringing the guys wife's s*xual history up as a sledge is not fair. I think the bowler shouldering the guy was a bit immature and gratuitous. But mucking around with the ball like that destroys the credibility of the whole thing.

We should admit defeat, pack up and go home, Permanently ban all those involved, and start a new team from scratch. Otherwise we have to accept it when others cheat.

New England Patriots - 33

In South Africa there were 22 000 tickets on public sale for the Test between the resurgent Springboks and All Blacks at the 52 000-capacity Newlands stadium. They took less than 60 minutes to be snapped up by eager fans.


Jamie Roberts, the 93-Test Wales centre and former Lion, said the All Blacks sellout reflected the pulling power of the international game's No 1 side.

"When the All Blacks come to town it's one of the greatest challenges in rugby ... probably the greatest challenge," Roberts said in a WRU media release.

"They are ruthless for 80 minutes, and the skill set of all their players is pretty special. You know you are in for the toughest game of your career. It's unlike anything you have experienced before and, mentally, it's the most challenging."
