 on Thursday evening.


 Richarlison leaped from his £140,000 Corvette to bang the hood of Sarr's Mercedes, then proceeded to shout profanities and flip him off.


 Meanwhile, Sarr filmed the incident from his point of view and was in hysterics. The Senegalese midfielder honked his horn at a junction while stopped behind Richarlison.


 Even though he was frustrated at the time, Richarlison found humor in the situation afterward and shared a lighthearted comment on Instagram.


 He stated: "Nominate a mate known for their lack of patience when stuck in traffic!!!" accompanied by several laughing emojis and then tagging Sarr.

 Richarlison was behind the wheel of his Corvette E-Ray, a vehicle that isn’t officially available for sale in the UK and needs to be brought in from elsewhere.


 He probably spent around £140,000 on the V8 engine, capable of reaching speeds exceeding 180mph. This powerplant accelerates from 0 to 60mph in just 2.5 seconds, outpacing even a basic Ferrari Roma.


 In the meantime, Sarr was driving his Mercedes G Wagon, which appears to be either a G400, G450, or G500 based on the look of the inside.


 One of these models would cost the 22-year-old somewhere from £110,000 to £150,000.


 The nearly five-ton G Wagen boasts a maximum velocity of only 130 mph and accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in approximately 6.4 seconds.

 Richarlison was behind the wheel of his Corvette E-Ray, a vehicle not officially available for sale in the UK and thus requiring importation.


 He probably spent around £140,000 on the V8 engine, known for achieving more than 180 mph at its highest speed and accelerating from 0 to 60 mph within just 2.5 seconds—faster even than a basic model Ferrari Roma.


 In the meantime, Sarr was driving his Mercedes G Wagon, and based on how the inside of the vehicle appears, it could be either a G400, G450, or G500 model.


 One of these models would operate the 22-year-old for an amount ranging from £110,000 to £150,000.


 The approximately two-and-a-half-ton G Wagen boasts a maximum speed of merely 130 mph and accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in roughly 6.4 seconds.

Shocking Vision Emerges: Aussie F1 Crash at 300km/h Revealed

Unknown incident, motorsports, news, racing, sports

Alpine
 has confirmed Australian
 Formula 1
 driver
 Jack Doohan
 is "OK" following his high-speed collision as chilling new footage reveals?
 Japanese Grand Prix
 incident surfaced.


 During the session at Suzuka, the 22-year-old driver lost control around 300 km/h and crashed into a tire barrier, leading to an extended period of red flags.


 "All of us at the team are relieved to see Jack exit free practice two without issues and pleased to confirm that he is well following his routine safety assessments," stated Alpine team principal Oli Oakes.

 "It was a misjudgement of not closing the DRS into turn one. It is something to learn from."


 Doohan also allayed fears.


 "First of all, I am OK after the incident," the F1 rookie said.


 "It was a heavy one, something that caught me by surprise, and I will learn from it.


 "I know the team has a lot of work ahead to repair the car going into tomorrow, so thanks in advance to them for their efforts."


 F1 great Jacques Villeneuve, the winner of the 1997 title, said Doohan was a "passenger" from the moment he lost control.


 "At that speed, the amount of downforce they have, there is no reason for a car to lose it, unless there's something going wrong," he said.


 "He lost a couple of tons of downforce suddenly, just at the wrong moment. That was a quick snap. It wasn't a slide; the car just lost it. It looked like he lost all the downforce at the rear."


 The crash was a heavy blow for Doohan, who is at risk of losing his race seat to Argentine Franco Colapinto as early as next week.


 It also cost him valuable track time. Doohan had earlier sat out of the first practice session, handing his car over to reserve driver Ryō Hirakawa.


 Doohan has never raced at Suzuka in an F1 car. His last visit to the track was in Asian Formula 3.


 The crash caused a lengthy red flag as the barriers were repaired.


 Cars had only just returned to the track when the red flags flew again when Fernando Alonso found himself stuck in the gravel trap at the exit of the fast right-hand Degner corner.


 They flew twice more in the session to allow marshalls to extinguish grass fires. Weather conditions at the circuit have been hot, dry and windy for much of the week, and the sparks coming off the bottom of the cars ignited the dry grass trackside.


 A similar stoppage occurred during practice ahead of last year's Chinese Grand Prix. Organisers sprayed a compound on the grass to keep it moist.


 Rain is forecast for later in the weekend at Suzuka.


 While the session was disastrous for one Australian, it was successful for the other. Oscar Piastri finished fastest ahead of McLaren teammate Lando Norris.


 Qualifying is set for Saturday afternoon (AEDT) and the race will start at 3pm on Sunday.

Chris Froome Accuses Irritated Driver of Multiple Intentional Crashes During Training Ride

 The cyclist who has won the Tour de France four times was involved in a road rage incident on Thursday.

 <li class="class">
 
 This incident took place in Menton, a town close to where he resided in Monaco.

 Legendary cyclist
 Chris Froome
 accused a road user of repeatedly attempting to drive into him during training.


 The four-time
 Tour de France
 The champion, set to make his competitive comeback at the Tour of the Alps later this month after suffering a collarbone injury during the UAE Tour in February, was embroiled in a road rage altercation on Thursday.


 This incident took place in Menton, a town close to where he lived in Monaco, just as he began an arduous 108-kilometer cycling trip through the mountainous regions of southern France.


 Froome shared an image of the vehicle and license plate on Instagram with this caption: "This woman repeatedly attempted to hit me as I was trying to overtake her."


 'It turns out cyclists AREN'T permitted to overtake vehicles. Can you believe it?'


 In another posting, Froome pointed out a sticker on the motorist's car that indicated a link to the Institut Arnault Tzanck, a medical facility located in Saint-Laurent-du-Var, which is near Nice.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Ckgge" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Ckgge.jpg"/>

 He proceeded to point out the irony of the scenario, noting that it was concerning for an individual associated with a healthcare institution to exhibit such careless conduct.


 The ex-Team Sky captain remarked: 'Is she not employed at a hospital? Could she be aiming to attract more patients?'


 On Friday, Froome carried on his tirade on X after responding to cycling content creator Joe Timms, who highlighted that the latter has been forced to deal with reckless drivers on the roads.


 'The same woman has been tormenting Urska Zigart,' Froome replied.


 I strongly suspect we aren’t the first people around here who’ve experienced problems with her. It’s about time she faced the repercussions of her actions.


 In May 2017, just prior to securing his fourth and ultimate Tour de France title, Froome experienced yet another unsettling event on the roads. During one of his routine training sessions, he encountered a motorist who intentionally crashed into him due to impatience. The driver allegedly pursued Froome from the street onto the sidewalk after overtaking him.


 Although he came out without physical injuries, his bike—an irreparably damaged Pinarello Dogma—told a different story.


 'Today was quite a frightening ordeal,' Froome commented back then. 'The French law enforcement has done an excellent job; I provided them with all necessary information. Really thankful that nobody got injured.'

 "This Means More" is a phrase that was created.

 Not too long ago, it was crafted with one of the city’s football teams in mind, yet it perfectly complements the Randox.
 Grand National
 .


 Motorsport never ceases. We are pampered with the choices.
 Cheltenham Festival
 , Royal
 Ascot
 And among all those legendary classics, the race that captures everyone's attention, be you a seasoned champion trainer like Willie Mullins or someone who bets only once a year, is the grand spectacle of Aintree. This is what makes it so significant.


 Certainly, the Grand National has faced increased scrutiny in recent times. Leading up to this festival, which keeps getting more popular, I've had numerous interviews where many have commented that things aren't how they used to be at the race.


 It definitely isn’t the competition I admired growing up, where the barriers looked as towering as mountains. But this one seems too different now. The race has had to evolve, especially following the 2023 run, which was the first time ever that viewing made me feel uneasy.


 Many would argue that the 2024 renewal was too easy to follow, but consider this instead: with the race tightening up near the finish and over a dozen horses still in contention, did those viewers who make watching their yearly habit fret much about how many of the competitors were trained by Mullins?


 Most of the folks gathered at Aintree, as well as those watching from home, won't be concerned with fence sizes or how many horses an owner has entered when the race starts at 4 pm. Their main focus will simply be on cheering for their favorite horse to triumph and relishing the excitement of the event.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Ck1mW" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Ck1mW.jpg"/>

 This occasion continues to be a national gem. Our viewership on ITV will likely triple compared to what we achieve on Cheltenham Gold Cup day, and I would debate anybody, anytime, that this still stands as the most thrilling 10 minutes in sports you could watch.


 Who comes out on top then? The champion from last year, I Am Maximus, boasts very strong credentials. My peer, Sir Anthony McCoy, has mentioned him with growing enthusiasm, and it's clear how puffed up his trainer, Mullins, has become over him.


 If you assume that being favored like I Am Maximus makes the storyline obvious, reconsider. There’s nothing predictable about races. Just look back to what happened last month at Cheltenham and then see how Constitution Hill stumbled once more on Thursday.


 Trust me, identifying the victor has never been more challenging. If we look back two decades, one could easily eliminate half of the competitors at first glance. However, this time around, managing to exclude just six from the 34 contestants would be impressive. This competition boasts an elite lineup brimming with Grade One champions and top-tier talent.


 Gavin Cromwell, this season’s top trainer, holds the key to everything. I hold him in high regard, and he aims to become part of an exclusive club by winning both the Gold Cup and the Grand National in the same year following Inothewayurthinkin's impressive victory at Cheltenham last month.


 Cromwell might have entered Inothewayurthinkin, yet opted for three runners including Stumptown, Vanillier, and my top pick, Perceval Legallois, who was aimed at the Grand National after his impressive victory at Leopardstown during the holidays.


 There’s a strong energy around him, and you can bet he’ll be part of the competition. Vanillier could put up a fearless display as he arrives at Aintree in peak condition; such an effort wouldn’t come as a surprise. Two years back, he finished second, though he underperformed over the past year. However, he showed good form with a solid run at Cheltenham just last month.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Ck3oK" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Ck3oK.jpg"/>

 We've grown accustomed to Irish stables dominating our major races — it's been ten years since an English trainer claimed victory in the National. However, this year's home defense seems more robust than it has been in quite a while, with Kandoo Kid spearheading the charge for Paul Nicholls.


 Nicky Henderson oversees Hyland, a grey gelding expected to thrive in firm ground conditions. He aims to enhance his stellar training record by breaking a 46-year drought at the National. Given all that transpired with Constitution Hill, everyone hopes for some better fortune for him this time around.


 A fantastic tale would involve trainer Richard Phillips and owner John Rosbotham achieving success with Idas Boy; their aspiration for this has existed since they were at junior school together 55 years ago, and the jubilation would be immense should this dream materialize.


 I feel the same way; backing the winning horse would be great. However, even if my chosen horses don't place at all, I wouldn’t complain as long as there’s some drama involved. What the Grand National truly requires is this sense of romance—the belief that anybody could triumph in this beloved event. By around 4:10 pm, I'm hoping to recount a thrilling tale.

Dubai World Cup Contender "Forever Young" Seeks History as First Horse to Win Gulf Grand Slam Double

Unknown horse racing, racing, sports

Live: Dubai World Cup blog update
 


 Forever Young aims to be the inaugural horse to clinch victory in both the prestigious Saudi Cup and the Dubai World Cup, thus achieving a remarkable double.


 He already boasts a pair of Gulf victories under his belt, including wins in the Saudi Derby and the UAE Derby last year. However, achieving triumph in the prestigious $12 million Dubai World Cup race at Meydan this Saturday would undoubtedly cap off an extraordinary achievement for the talented Japanese jockey.


 Forever Young boasts an outstanding record with eight wins and two thirds out of his total of ten career races. His second placements came in the Kentucky Derby and the Breeders' Cup Classic, which are both Grade 1 events.


 The Real Steel foal impressively won the race.
 $20 million Saudi Cup
 In his final appearance on February 22, he narrowly defeated the nine-time Group/Grade 1 champion Romantic Warrior by just a head following an extended contest in the latter stages of the 1,800-meter race.


 The four-year-old horse is comfortably positioned at Gate 5, amidst an 11-horse race lineup. His trainer, Yoshito Yahagi, stated this was "not a worry," despite having wished for a more exterior starting position.


 Yahagi recognized that his top horse has a significant challenge ahead to achieve the Saudi-UAE double, but he anticipates that the steed will put forth its best effort.


 "Certainly, he faced a challenging race at the Saudi Cup, and as expected, he felt somewhat exhausted for several days afterward. However, my team performed admirably in helping him recover. From that point onwards, our strategy has been focused on coming here and participating in the Dubai World Cup," Yahagi stated.


 I believe those additional 200 meters will work to his advantage, as well as navigating the four turns at Meydan benefiting him.


 I've received numerous questions regarding his withdrawal from the competition and his general well-being, with many expressing concern. However, I believe that going through such a challenging race has elevated him to an even higher level. Everything seems beneficial to me; I can't identify any drawbacks.


 Ryusei Sakai, his jockey, expressed mixed emotions about riding both horses during the evening; he will partner with Shin Emperor, his stablemate, for the prestigious $6 million Group 1 Dubai Sheema Classic.


 "There is undoubtedly pressure, however, personally, I am very grateful for the chance to mount high-quality horses both in Japan and on an international level," he stated.


 Last year, we couldn't secure a victory in a Group 1 competition abroad with these two horses, but this year we aim to return and win as many races as possible with them, maybe even all of them.

 In horse racing, even the top horses may experience an unremarkable performance someday, as stated by the 2024 Dubai World Cup-winning trainer.
 Bhupat Seemar
 .


 He might just be among the top horses globally," stated the head of Zabeel Stables about Forever Young. "Still, he could have an off day too. That's exactly what horse racing is like. You must participate to stand a chance at winning.


 Seemar, who was the first local trainer to claim the prestigious award slightly more than a year ago,
 with Laurel River managed by Tadhg O'Shea
 Representing the silk trappings of Saudi Arabian owner Juddmonte, the entry fields consist of both Walk Of Stars and Imperial Emperor.


 "It's regrettable that Laurel River isn't present to defend his championship," Seemar stated following the last training session for his two horses on Friday.


 We have two excellent drivers who enjoy the circuit; they've shown their capabilities here before, and I'm really pleased with how my team is performing.


 Imperial Emperor is getting better. He enjoys this course, and I am pleased with his post position. He has triumphed when starting from gate 13 before, so being in gate 10 shouldn’t pose an issue. He is straightforward and easy to handle—exactly what a jockey hopes for.


 Walk of Stars enjoys his environment. He is an extremely peculiar horse. It took him three years to begin winning races once more. If he chose to, he might come in second place against Tuz in a 6-furlong [1,200m] race. Despite having immense talent, he remains quite eccentric.


 He didn't handle his time in Saudi Arabia too well. He shed a significant amount of weight, and he seemed extremely anxious. However, he has remarkable endurance.

 The Imperial Emperor has been selected as the mount for experienced jockey O'Shea, who boasts an impressive record as both a 12-time UAE champion and the nation’s top rider with a total of 826 victories under his belt.


 Impressively, he won the Group 2 Al Maktoum Classic in his most recent race a month back, and another such performance could put him in contention against Forever Young tonight.


 Taking up the Japanese challenge in the race are Noboru Takagi with his team consisting of Ushba Tesoro and Wilson Tesoro, along with Shozo Sasaki’s horse named Ramjet. Each of these competitors crossed the finish line after Forever Young at the Saudi Cup.


 Under Godolphin’s jockey William Buick, Rattle N Roll leads the American challenge which also comprises Hit Show, Mixto, Il Miracolo, and Katanah.

Dubai World Cup 2025: Unveiling the Art and Science of Purchasing Racehorses

Unknown gambling, horse racing, horses, racing, sports

Getting a racehorse involves much more than simply examining its pedigree and previous races—it’s a blend of matchmaking, superstition, and science, often in an unpredictable sequence.


 Some prospective owners thoroughly examine pedigrees and physical measurements, whereas others rely on gut feelings and emphasize more unusual characteristics.


 Consider Frankel, for example. With an impeccable track record of 14 victories, Frankel’s remarkable nostrils were frequently highlighted as a significant contributor to his success. These wide nostrils enabled him to inhale greater amounts of oxygen, boosting his lung capacity and endurance — essential attributes for a top contender.


 Today, many purchasers find themselves examining a horse's nostrils before finalizing their decision. It seems like there’s an unspoken guideline: the larger the nostrils, the greater the possibility!


 In Dubai, owner Harry Tregoning emphasizes the significance of a horse's ears. He believes that larger ears indicate alertness and responsiveness—traits he considers crucial for success. Meanwhile, UAE champion trainer Bhupat Seemar focuses on balance and structure when selecting horses. However, this isn’t everything; some owners place value on the strength and position of a horse’s tail as an indicator of good balance and physical build. Others assess a horse’s temperament by looking into their eyes.


 So, do not be concerned if you see someone examining a horse’s nostrils or softly pulling its tail during an auction; this is simply part of the unusual but captivating procedure involved in choosing racehorses.


 What really defines an exceptional racehorse? Experts say it involves a blend of scientific knowledge, instinctive judgment, and perhaps even some superstitious beliefs. Let’s explore the crucial factors for potential horse owners to consider.

<h2>
 
 The science of conformation
 
</h2>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1ChuhD" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1ChuhD.jpg"/>

 Saeed bin Suroor, an iconic trainer boasting nine victories at the Dubai World Cup, emphasizes that conformation—the horse’s physical build—is crucial. "Physical balance molds a horse's capabilities," he elaborates. "Everything hinges on this balance. A horse needs to have proportional features, robust bone structure, and a physique built for smooth, effective motion."


 For Bhupat Seemar, who has achieved significant success in the bloodstock industry, his core principles are encapsulated by the "three Ps": pedigree, performance, and purse money. However, he emphasizes that an outstanding lineage alone is insufficient; the physical attributes of the horse also play a crucial role. He states, “Relying solely on a pedigree won't suffice if the horse does not have the proper build — at times, you must follow your instincts.”


 Seemar also stresses the significance of durability and resilience against injuries, which typically hinges on the horse’s overall equilibrium and structure. Achieving excellence lies in harmonizing genetics, performance capabilities, and natural instincts. He notes, “A flawless horse does not exist.” However, he continues, “If the basics are solid, we have the ability to work with a horse to overcome its shortcomings.”


 Bin Suroor, who has coached some of the globe’s most renowned winners such as Daylami, Dubai Millennium, and Thunder Snow, emphasizes that intellect is crucial. "An intelligent horse understands its surroundings, remains composed, and stays vigilant," he observes. This trait is essential both during training and when competing. Harry Tregoning concurs, asserting that self-assurance and cleverness outweigh mere physical dimensions. He admits, “I prefer smaller builds; I am drawn to smart horses.”

<h2>
 
 The financial gamble
 
</h2>

 However, acquiring a racehorse involves more than just assessing their build and temperament—it requires significant financial investment. Whether you're looking at yearlings, two-year-olds, or experienced racers, prices fluctuate considerably based on the horse's background and prospects.


 The price of a horse can dramatically increase with improvements in their race performance. For instance, Fusaichi Pegasus became the most costly equine ever purchased at an auction when he was acquired for $70 million in 2000 by Coolmore Stud shortly following his victory at the Kentucky Derby. Nonetheless, despite his successful racing career, his breeding endeavors yielded inconsistent outcomes.


 The tale of The Green Monkey highlights the uncertain outcomes in the world of sports. Purchased for a staggering $16 million at the 2006 Fasig-Tipton sale, The Green Monkey's racing journey proved disappointing. After just three competitions, he failed to secure a position better than third place. This serves as a cautionary example regarding the risks associated with investing large sums in top-tier racehorses, even when they come from prestigious bloodlines.


 In the realm of horse ownership, the aspiration to own a winner can be quite enticing; however, the actual experience is fraught with unpredictability. After all, horse racing remains an inherently uncertain endeavor.

 And Pape Sarr had an altercation in traffic earlier this week, with the Brazilian sharing a clip on social media showing them disputing at an intersection.


 The video clip was posted jointly on the Instagram pages of both athletes and was uploaded merely a day following their team’s 1-0 loss.
 Chelsea
 on Thursday evening.


 Richarlison leaped out from his $235,000 Chevrolet Corvette to hit the hood of Sarr’s Mercedes, then proceeded to yell profanities and flipped him off.


 At the same time, Sarr captured the event from his perspective and was uncontrollably laughing. The Senegalese midfielder sounded his horn at an intersection while he was halted behind Richarlison.


 Even though he was frustrated at the time, Richarlison found humor in the situation afterwards. He shared this lighthearted perspective by posting a humorous caption on Instagram.


 He stated: 'Tag your buddy known for impatience when stuck in traffic!!!' accompanied by several laughing emojis and then tagged Sarr.

 Richarlison was behind the wheel of his Corvette E-Ray, a vehicle not officially available for sale in the UK and thus requiring importation.


 He probably spent around £140,000 on the V8 engine, known for achieving more than 180 mph at its highest speed, with the capability to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph within 2.5 seconds — faster even than a basic Ferrari Roma.


 In the meantime, Sarr was cruising in his Mercedes G Wagon, and based on the appearance of the interior, it’s probably either a G400, G450, or G500 model.


 One of these models would have the 22-year-old priced anywhere from £110,000 to £150,000.


 The approximately 2.5-ton G Wagen boasts a maximum speed of merely 130 mph and accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in roughly 6.4 seconds.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CmFcT" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CmFcT.jpg"/>

 DUBAI, 5th April, 2025 (WAM) -- Today, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who serves as both the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and the Ruler of Dubai, was present at the 29th iteration of the prestigious Dubai World Cup held at the renowned Meydan Racecourse.


 H.H. Sheikh Mohammed was joined at the esteemed international gathering by H.H. Sheikh Hamadan bin Mohamed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who serves as the Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defense, and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai; along with H.H. Sheikh Makthum bin Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum, acting as the First Vice Ruler of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Finance.


 On this occasion, H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum stated that the sustained worldwide enthusiasm for the Dubai World Cup since its inception in 1996 underscores the UAE's prominent position in various fields, particularly in sports. He emphasized how the country has emerged as a top global hub for horse racing due to state-of-the-art facilities, exceptional organizational skills, and robust international collaborations that unite some of the most renowned owners, trainers, and riders globally.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CmRc9" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CmRc9.jpg"/>

 H.H. Sheikh Mohammed mentioned: "We feel immense pride in how the Dubai World Cup stands out amongst top-tier equestrian competitions globally, considering aspects like prize money, competitive level, and international influence. This event has evolved into an internationally celebrated occasion where various cultures meet, highlighting sports' potential to foster closeness and solidarity across countries. Equestrian racing remains deeply rooted in our traditions and serves as a significant bridge connecting our history with the progressive vision for our future."


 Opening the 29th Dubai World Cup, H.H. Sheikh Mohamed highlighted how the tournament has risen in prominence within the world sports schedule. He praised the organizing committee for their hard work which ensured the event's triumph and underscored Dubai’s expanding influence in the worldwide equestrian racing scene.


 His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum awarded the Dubai World Cup trophy to Hit Show’s winning team at the premier Group 1 event. This victory was achieved with jockey Florent Geroux in the saddle, under the guidance of trainer Brad Cox, and as part of Wathnan Racing’s roster. In this prestigious 2000-meter dirt race, supported by Emirates Airlines, eleven top-tier thoroughbreds vied for a prize fund totaling $12 million.


 The 29th edition of the Dubai World Cup featured an impressive lineup of highly ranked horses from all over the world, showcasing renowned owners, breeders, and trainers in the industry. Over 102 equine competitors from 13 different nations took part in nine races, with a combined purse totaling $30.5 million. Notably, the last event alone offered $12 million in prizes.


 The notable guests present at the gathering comprised H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who serves as the Second Deputy Ruler of Dubai; H.H. Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, presiding over the Dubai Sports Council; H.H. Sheikh Majid bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum; along with H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.


 Sheikh Rashed bin Dalmook Al Maktoum, who serves as the Chairman of the Dubai Equestrian Club, was also in attendance along with several high-ranking officials, prominent horse owners, breeders, and passionate racing aficionados from across the globe.


 The inaugural Dubai World Cup took place in 1996 at the Nad Al Sheba Racecourse, serving as a key component of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s strategy to establish Dubai as a global sports destination.

Zetterström Publicly Shifts Stance on 'Championship' Talk, Revealing Top NHRA Ambition

Unknown driving, motorsports, news, racing, sports

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CbQOj" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CbQOj.jpg"/>

 It's just a matter of time until she claims an NHRA championship.
 The remarks from JCM Racing team owner Joe Maynard reflect his unwavering faith in Ida Zetterström. Hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, this drag racing prodigy boasts an impressive list of accomplishments which includes several championships under her belt. Notably, she holds the title of three-time series champion within Europe’s top-tier competition—the FIA Top Fuel. Additionally, she has claimed victory twice as a champion in the Super Street Bike division. However, Ida currently harbors different aspirations for herself.


 Straight after securing the 2023 Top Fuel championship, Ida Zetterström moved from the Åland Islands in Finland to Brownsburg, Indianapolis at the start of 2024. With aspirations to reach unparalleled levels within the NHRA circuit, she faces fresh obstacles as she takes on this new role.

<h2>
 
 Ida Zetterström unveils her genuine concerns.
 
</h2>

 Despite being an accomplished multiple-time motorsports champion who tackles track challenges effortlessly, Ida Zetterström faces hurdles when it comes to finances. Having geared up for her first appearance in the NHRA back in 2024, she secured partnerships such as those with Edelbrock and VP Racing Fuels. Her relationship with Edelbrock Performance had been ongoing since 2021, making this collaboration more established compared to her association with VP Racing Fuels which was relatively fresh at that time. In 2024, Ida participated in six races of the NHRA Mission Foods Series and aimed to compete fully under JCM Racing’s banner throughout 2025. Nonetheless, come late last year, assembling sufficient sponsorship backing proved challenging for her ambitious plans for a complete season.


 At present, Ida Zetterström has been slated for a partial season comprising 10 races. This challenging situation understandably puts stress on the Swedish driver, who must secure additional funding to extend her racing calendar beyond those initial engagements. As Ida mentioned, this is quite problematic.
 In a recent conversation with Speed Freaks,
 :
 That is the challenging aspect at present because clearly,
 
 being an individual who truly desires to compete throughout the entire season
 
 , securing the funding for it, and concentrating on completing that schedule. Particularly, ensuring enough funds to compete in full seasons for many years ahead—not only this year is concerning me. This occupies much of my thoughts, and consumes a significant part of my daily activities."


 Behind her thoughts, Ida Zetterström continues to grapple with insufficient funds. She admitted that this impacts how she tackles racing competitions.
 If you were aware that an entire season lay before you, your mental state might differ since you'd concentrate on aiming for the championship.
 Thus, Ida’s message was unmistakable.
 “
 
 I'm concentrating on pursuing money rather than solely aiming for titles.
 
 , you know.”

 Given the expectations her team owner has for her,
 Ida Zetterström
 She remains dedicated to her role despite the difficulties presented by transitioning from open-canopy vehicles in Europe to closed-canopy cars used in NHRA competitions. Her primary focus now is delivering her utmost performance for every sponsor supporting her journey.
 But I'm striving to strike a balance between putting in intense effort on that front and concentrating on the races I'll attend, ensuring that I can truly excel as the top driver, an outstanding team member, and the finest ambassador for all of my sponsors. Therefore, I don't want racing to consume every ounce of mental energy when I step onto the track.
 she added
 .


 Ida Zetterström’s worries might also encompass the NHRA racing circuit. She is endeavoring to adjust to the distinct Top Fuel vehicles and enhance her outstanding performance in the 2024 season.

<h2>
 An unwavering desire for enhancement
</h2>

 Ida Zetterström strongly pursues sponsorships mainly due to her deep-seated enthusiasm. Her ardor for racing shines through her track record. By breaking gender barriers, Ida made history as the inaugural female champion of the Super Street Bike competition in 2019. Consequently, she was eager to get back into driving.
 NHRA
 In 2024, Ida admitted feeling somewhat restless due to having to wait half a year before assembling her racing crew and vehicle. Eventually, she took part in her inaugural competition in August at the Brainerd International Raceway located in Minnesota. There, she delivered an impressive performance by defeating four-time champion Steve Torrance during their initial match-up. Throughout the last eight events of the season, Ida showcased strong form with her highest qualification position being eighth place at the Texas Fall Nationals. Additionally, for her remarkable rookie efforts, she received recognition from NHRA’s National Dragster magazine, earning the title of 'Best New Talent' at the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) event.


 Collaborating with her crew chief, Jon Schaffer, Ida Zetterström managed to secure a spot in the semifinals in 2024. However, Ida believes she still has much room for improvement as she strives to enhance her performance metrics.
 I sense that we missed an opportunity to demonstrate our capabilities fully. Other teams had a significant advantage with a 12-race lead over us since they began much earlier in the year. By the time we launched operations in August, these competitors had spent months ironing out their issues. Additionally, some of them have been collaborating for years, unlike our new team which essentially started afresh. Just as things seemed to be clicking for us, the season concluded abruptly. Therefore, we're eager to return and showcase our true potential.


 Clearly, many challenges lie ahead for the Swedish racing sensation. As Ida Zetterström embarks on her NHRA adventure, we send our best wishes!

Underdog Triumphs: Explosive Show Stuns Meydan in Dubai World Cup Thriller

Unknown entertainment, grand prix, horse racing, horses, racing

The American star Hit Show justified his reputation in spectacular style, putting forth an impressive display to win the 29th Dubai World Cup (G1) at Meydan Racecourse on Saturday evening.


 Guided skillfully by French jockey Florent Geroux from Kentucky and coached by Eclipse Award-winner Brad H. Cox, the American gelding took the lead in the homestretch. Even though he drifted towards the end of the race, he still had ample energy remaining.


 The victorious show horse surpassed the competition by a distance of one length and seven-eighths, leaving behind all rivals including Mixto, which was steered by accomplished jockey Frankie Dettori who has won the Dubai World Cup four times. This triumph marked a significant victory for the Cox-Geroux duo.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CmzM3" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CmzM3.jpg"/>

 The ante-post favorite Forever Young from Japan demonstrated strong racing condition after securing an impressive victory in the $20 million Saudi Cup barely four weeks prior, closing strongly to finish in third place. Meanwhile, local hopeful Walk of Stars, handled by reigning champion trainer Bhupat Seemar and piloted by renowned French jockey Mickael Barzalona, put up a valiant performance starting from the innermost gate.


 The Walk of Stars exhibited strong initial determination and maintained a spirited effort to secure an admirable fourth place in what is considered one of the globe’s wealthiest and most esteemed competitions.


 Just moments after steering Hit Show to an incredible win, Geroux was still trying to grasp the magnitude of his accomplishment.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CmntF" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CmntF.jpg"/>

 When asked about the moment he realized he had secured the victory, he replied with a grin, saying it was at "the 100-meter mark." His objective wasForever Young, yet even then, the competitor posed little challenge. He added that his mount battled valiantly throughout and always gives him their best effort. Honestly speaking, he mentioned he initially aimed only for a spot within the top four; however, this steed exceeded expectations.


 Even though Hit Show has been sluggish at the start of his recent races, he managed to impress everyone, including his jockey, with a powerful finish when it mattered most on the main event day.


 This horse isn't exactly sluggish, but recently he has been lagging at the rear for unknown reasons," said Geroux. "Today was no different, yet he felt quite strong under my guidance. I noticed Forever Young didn't seem entirely comfortable trailing me, so I believed I had a solid position. Despite some contact, I discovered an opening on the inside, steered him through it, and he reacted immediately. He provided all his effort to cross the finish line.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CmsjH" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CmsjH.jpg"/>

 For Geroux, a person who has experienced triumph in numerous major competitions across North America—including the Breeders' Cup Classic and Pegasus World Cup—this win stood out as distinctively special.


 It's incredible," he stated, his voice laden with feeling. "For a jockey, this is the kind of race you envision winning. Although I've had success at major events in the U.S., competing here in the Dubai World Cup holds a distinct prestige. To come out victorious against Frankie [Dettori], someone I admire greatly and who has triumphed in this event multiple times before, makes it even more rewarding. My joy isn’t diminished because of him; rather, I'm simply elated that I emerged as the winner.


 The outcome completed a remarkable evening for American participants, highlighted by sweeping the top two spots in the $12 million main event, and solidified Hit Show’s position amongst the distinguished champions of this legendary competition.


 Since the first running of the Dubai World Cup in 1996, which was notably clinched by the renowned horse Cigar, American horses have consistently excelled in this prestigious event, securing victory in 14 editions up to now.


 The victor belongs to Wathnan Racing, an equestrian outfit linked to the Emir of Qatar, which has operations in both Doha and Newmarket, UK. This squad secured their finest performance ever at the 2023 Royal Ascot, claiming victories in both the Queen’s Vase and the Gold Cup events.

Why Gout's Historic Run Isn't Recognized as Legal in Australia

Unknown athletes, news, racing, sports, track and field

Gout Gout
 claimed another slice of sprinting history in a meteoric run in Brisbane on Sunday by becoming the first Australian to run a 200m in less than 20 seconds.


 At the Queensland athletics championships, a 17-year-old wunderkind achieved a time of 19.98 seconds with an unlawful tailwind of +3.6 meters per second, making the result non-official. However, no other athlete from Australia has managed to complete a 200-meter race under 20 seconds in ideal conditions.


 In the under-20 final of the 200m, he dominated the competition, crossing the finish line 2.12 seconds before the runner-up.

 The regulations state that for the 100m dash, 200m dash, 100m hurdles (for women), 110m hurdles (for men), long jump, triple jump, along with pertinent competitions in heptathlon and decathlon, the result will be considered unofficial if the wind speed exceeds two meters per second according to the anemometer reading.


 But the wind rule did little to quell the exhilaration surrounding Gout's busting of the 20-second barrier. Wind-assisted or not, a sub-20-second 200m is significant, especially for 17-year-olds and especially for Australian athletics.


 Gout became only the seventh Under-20 athlete in global history to break the record.


 Overjoyed, the Ipswich native lifted his arms skyward, pounded his chest, and let out a roar before a crowd that was ecstatic. He later celebrated with an affectionate and joyful hug for his coach, Diane Sheppard.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B0Ot3" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B0Ot3.jpg"/>

 On Sunday morning, Gout zipped through his 200m heat with a time of 20.05, finishing over two seconds faster than the runner-up.


 This run has crowned Gout as the quickest globally for the 200 meters this year, surpassing the time of 20.13 set by Zimbabwe’s prodigy Makanakaishe Charamba in Texas just last month.


 Thanks to a favorable wind speed of +1.2 meters per second during his race, Gout surpassed the previous Australian open record for the 200m event, which stood at 20.06 seconds since Peter Norman achieved it at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City.


 He narrowly missed out on setting a new national record — his time was 20.04, which he achieved in Brisbane back in December.


 That 20.04, set when he was just 16 years old, surpassed Usain Bolt's quickest time recorded at the same age.


 The Jamaican who has won eight Olympic gold medals achieved a personal best of 20.13 when he was 16 years old, and his quickest time at age 17 was 19.93.


 Gout provided a varied evaluation of his performance in Sunday's finale.


 He mentioned that his beginning was quite shaky, and frankly, after that, he didn’t really feel motivated to run.


 It felt really great. As I exited the curve, I just maintained my acceleration. I could sense the wind at my back, so I thought, 'I'll make use of it'.


 And then I glanced at the clock, and once it was rounded down to under 20 seconds, I simply couldn't have been more delighted.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B0OsU" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B0OsU.jpg"/>

 Upon seeing the time, I felt genuine happiness and surprise, yet it also seemed as though a burden had been lifted from me.


 Since I’ve completed this task, I now need to maintain consistency in my efforts.


 He acknowledged the enthusiastic audience with a nod and spoke about the legendary Jamaican runner Bolt, who he is often likened to.


 "Gout expressed that it was an amazing feeling, recalling his own experience of seeing Usain Bolt on TV and getting chills," when discussing the audience's encouragement.


 Causing people to get goosebumps certainly feels amazing, and I hope to keep providing that experience because, absolutely, I want to give them even more.


 My heart felt empty as there wasn’t a crowd around. But once I finished warming up and stepped out for the finals, I glanced back and saw an enormous audience. Definitely made me sprint quicker.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B0Dvw" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B0Dvw.jpg"/>

 Adding to the impressiveness of Making Gout’s two performances on Sunday was the fact that he had undergone merely a “slight” taper, according to his manager James Templeton who spoke with Wide World of Sports.


 Templeton was alongside the track, observing his protege soar.


 He exclaimed it was fantastic.


 "There was a lot of hype around the Queensland championships of course. It's fair to say he was the centre of attention today, but that's no big deal for him.


 He came out here with the aim of running quickly and performed exceptionally well today.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B0CJI" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B0CJI.jpg"/>

 People supporting Gout think it’s only a question of time before he breaks through the 10-second mark in the 100 meters and hits below 20 seconds for the 200 meters under standard regulations.


 The Gout team is also gunning for the sprint double—gold medals in both the 100m and 200m—at the Brisbane 2032 Olympics, when the Adidas-backed phenomenon will turn 24.


 The Wide World of Sports disclosed earlier this month that
 The eagerly awaited return of Gout to the Stawell Gift next month will be financed by the principal owner.
 In 2015, the racehorse that claimed victory in the Melbourne Cup was Prince of Penzance.


 WWOS also disclosed that another four prominent Australian sprinters—Lachlan Kennedy, Josh Azzopardi, Jack Hale, and Jacob Despard—are scheduled to compete in the well-known 120-meter dash at Stawell over the Easter long weekend, with a prize of $40,000 up for grabs.

 - Pembalap dari tim Gresini Racing, Alex Marquez, menunjukkan performa yang mengagumkan dengan menyabet empat kali posisi runner-up pada dua putaran pertama MotoGP 2025.


 Alex Marquez hanya mampu finis di belakang saudara kandungnya, Marc Marquez, yang kemampuan balapanya sangat susah untuk dia tantangkan sampai MotoGP Argentina 2025 kemarin.


 Akan tetapi, prestasi positif tersebut menjadi ternoda oleh pertanyaan dari seorang jurnalis, sehingga mengakibatkan Alex Marquez merasa kurang dihargai dan bahkan tersinggung.


 Setelah selama bertahun-tahun dia sering dimintai pendapat tentang kakaknya, sekarang pertanyaan-pertanyaan baru bermunculan karena tampilan Alex yang semakin bersaing.


 Beberapa wartawan menanyakan apakah Alex memang berencana untuk mengungguli kakaknya atau dia hanya akan tunduk seperti seorang adik.


 "Sering kali aku ditanyai, 'Kapan kamu akan kehilangan rasa hormatmu pada Marc?' atau 'Apakah kamu terlalu memuja Marc?'" ujar Alex, sebagaimana dikutip oleh Todocircuito.


 Pembalap dengan nomor 73 ini menganggap bahwa pertanyaan tersebut mencurigakan terkait integritas dan keahliannya sebagai seorang pembalap.


 Menurut Alex, "Pertanyaan itu tak mencerminkan rasa hormat terhadap diriku. Saya adalah seorang pembalap yang selalu berusaha memberikan performa maksimal yaitu 100%. Saya berjuang demi tim saya dan juga bagi para sponsor saya."




 "Saya tahu dia adalah saudara kandung saya, dan pasti saya akan menyisihkan sedikit rasa penghormatan ketika melewatinya, namun menjadi orang pertama yang mengalahkannya adalah tujuan saya," ungkapnya.


 Untuk Alex Marquez, rasa hormat tidak datang dari pengorbanan sengaja melainkan dari upaya maksimal untuk memberikan resistensi terbaik.


 Di samping itu, ia pun mempunyai ambisinya tersendiri untuk mencapai kemenangan dan gelar juara, sehingga pertanyaan tersebut tampak seperti penilaian rendah terhadap dirinya di hadapan tim dan pihak sponsor.


 "Saya ingin meraih kemenangan. Namun, saya jauh lebihrealistis daripada banyak orang lainnya, sebab saya paham betul siapa Marc, sadar akan kemampuannya, dan tak ada masalah bagi saya untuk mengakui hal tersebut," terangnya.


 Meskipun hingga saat ini dia masih tertinggal di belakang kakaknya, karena memang Marc masih lebih cepat daripadanya.


 "Biasanya kamu mungkin tak akan menyebutkan langsung kelebihan lawan mainmu, tapi karena dia adalah saudara laki-lakiku dan aku merasa nyaman membahas ini, maka aku bisa melakukannya. Sama seperti itu pula ketika harus mengakuinya bila di beberapa hal dia jadi yang terbaik," tambahnya.


 "Aku akan terus belajar, memberikan 100% seperti biasa. Tetapi berhentilah berpikir bahwa aku terlalu menghormatinya. Kita semua melihatnya hari ini. Kami bertarung. Dia memang lebih cepat, dan aku sudah memberikan segalanya," tegas sang rider.

Van der Poel Strips Pogacar on the Cipressa: A Milan-San Remo Showdown You Won't Believe

 Mathieu Van der Poel
 
 È stato il padrone della scena nell'ultimo periodo.
 
 Milano-Sanremo
 
 ottenendo la sua seconda vittoria dopo due anni dalla prima, in uno scontro epico con un avversario posseduto
 
 Pogacar
 
 Ecco uno strenuo Filippo Ganna. Tuttavia, durante il programma televisivo trasmesso subito dopo la gara, è stato seguendo le sue prestazioni.
 
 è sfuggito un attimo
 
 , dove si è sottolineato lo straordinario equilibrio psicofisico nel quale si trovava Van der Poel.
 
 Da alcune immagini inedite
 
 In un delle immagini decisive scattate da Pogačar lungo la strada del Cipresso, abbiamo notato che lo olandese ha trovato il modo per approvvigionarsi, e poi è tornato accanto all'ungherese con una naturalezza sorprendente.


 Dell'ultima Milano-Sanremo si sono già fatte le valigie tutti i discorsi possibili e immaginabili, o quasi. Con la
 
 bella vittoria ottenuta da Van der Poel
 
 Che sia il secondo giro della Classicissima rappresenta un evento straordinario, dato che non accadeva dal ciclo delle corse precedenti, circa 17 anni fa, osservare lo stesso corridore oltrepassare il traguardo più di una volta. È stato raccontato con entusiasmo da

 , secondo al traguardo, che ha saputo tenere e giocarsi fino all'arrivo il successo con due mostri sacri. Si è detto anche del

 record di

 ottenuto sulla Cipressa
 </a>
 e della scalata sul Poggio quasi da primato. Ma non si è parlato di un gesto che ha immortalato in tutto e per tutto
 
 la strapotenza Van der Poel
 
 , non ripreso dalle telecamere ufficiali della corsa.

<h2>
 Cos'è successo sulla Cipressa: gli scatti ripetuti di Pogacar
</h2>

 L'UAE Team Emirates-XRG e Tadej Pogacar hanno dato spettacolo nel corso della gara, facendo a pezzi il gruppo con una serie di attacchi e accelerazioni, sulla Cipressa a tal punto che
 
 solo in due Mathieu Van der Poel e Filippo Ganna sono riusciti a seguirlo
 
 . A 23 chilometri dal traguardo, il campione del mondo ha provato per la prima volta a staccare Van der Poel e Ganna, ma senza successo. E ciò che Van der Poel ha fatto poco prima della rasoiata di Pogacar ha mostrato al mondo la lucidità e la straordinaria forma psicofisica dell'olandese, nel momento cruciale della corsa.

<h2>
 Cos'ha fatto Van der Poel mentre Pogacar scattava sulla Cipressa
</h2>

 La UAE ha appena finito di fare selezione, Pogacar ha preso la testa della corsa e allunga inesorabile. Dietro di lui solo in due, Van der Poel e Ganna. Per lo sloveno, ancora troppi. E così nuovo scatto e allungo, poi un terzo. Nel tentativo di scrollarsi di dosso i due avversari, provando la fuga in solitaria. Ma mentre cercava di allontanarsi a tutta velocità, a bocca aperta e ingobbito sulla bici,
 
 Van der Poel si è addirittura preso il tempo di rifornirsi
 
 : il campione olandese si accosta, prende borraccia e gel dall'addetto dell'Alpecine, ripone il tutto sulla bici e solamente dopo ritorna a pedalare. Andando a
 
 Riprendere Pogacar con una spontaneità e un'agilità che sembrano impressionanti.
 
 È già stato chiaro a più di 20 km daltraguardo, quando eravamo fuori Sanremo, che stava per vincere.

Philip Roodhooft's Surprise at Mathieu van der Poel: "That Was Indeed Unexpected"

Unknown news, racing

 Een derde zege op rij in Milaan-Sanremo voor Alpecin-Deceuninck, de broers Roodhooft mochten alweer vieren. Philip Roodhooft zag maar één verrassend element van Mathieu van der Poel.
 


 Voor Alpecin-Deceuninck was het alweer prijs in Milaan-Sanremo. Na Mathieu van der Poel in 2023 en Jasper Philipsen vorig jaar, mocht de Nederlander opnieuw zegevieren. Het voorjaar is weer goed begonnen voor de Belgische ploeg.


 "Waarom dit onze droomkoers is? Een combinatie van het sportieve belang, de spanningsboog, het land, de lente ... En natuurlijk dat we het nu een derde keer winnen, dat is toch heel bijzonder", zegt Philip Roodhooft bij
 Sporza.

<h2>
 Van der Poel verrast
 Pogacar
 in de sprint
</h2>

 Toch won Alpecin-Deceuninck opnieuw op een andere manier. In 2023 reed Van der Poel weg op de Poggio, vorig jaar won Philipsen in de sprint. Dit jaar zette UAE de koers al op zijn kop op de Cipressa.


 Voor Roodhooft was dat geen verrassing, voor Pogacar was het dé manier om Milaan-Sanremo te winnen. Van der Poel hield stand, maar toen kwam er wel dé verrassing voor Roodhooft. Hoe Van der Poel de sprint regelde.


 "Dat vond ik toch verrassend, inderdaad. Op de streep komt het vaak aan op centimeters, maar Pogacar liet daar plots een gat van tien meter. En dan lieten ze ook nog eens de snelheid enorm zakken, wat in het voordeel is van de explosiviteit van Mathieu."
