@crumar92 No I don’t believe it was a penalty. The second just before this clip will show the Argentinian defender nudging the ball away from Salah. Played the ball cleanly.
Christophe Soumillon’s ban for riding to benefit a stablemate has been reduced to five days from eight on appeal after the disciplinary panel concluded that while his ride on Puerto Rico aided Gstaad it was not his intention to do so
@EmilyMaher11084 Watched both Malachy O’R and Padraig J and while they both questioned refereeing decisions, they were gracious and complimentary to their opponents. The decisions they questioned were in some instances blatantly wrong ones and as such they weren’t wrong in doing so.
@gcunning12 It’s his utter dedication that makes him so great. Many would have eased back with such achievement. However he is blessed with the best equine and physical resources. Consider the vast number of hugely expensive failures through his hands also. Will always be Vincent for me.
Aidan O'Brien really is the King of the Classics 😎
It's a staggering 18th Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby victory for him!
With Christmas Day second and Pierre Bonnard third, it also means O'Brien landed a 1-2-3 in the feature race at the Curragh too 👊

Ballinea Star (16/1) lands the Group 3 Anglesey Stakes @curraghrace, with short-priced fav Confucius a disappointing third!
A 1-2 for @Robsonadeaguiar 👏
@kevinblake2011@RacingPost Accept he didn’t have it handy on the front. CS had a long look back after approx 1.5f. Commentator’s words: ‘ to see where Gstaad is positioned’. ( I know, just his opinion) . Another good look back at the 3f pole before clearly angling to his left. Anyway, great to watch.
Most interesting to me is Joseph being directed not to provide any training services to Newtown Anner. Despite the obvious connection to Coolmore, would have thought Joseph independent of them.
@irishexaminer For goodness sake, it was nothing to do with respect or otherwise for hurling. Had it been a hurling g game going to extra time, same thing g would have prevailed. Yes, RTE screwed up by not having o e of them on player, but save us the ‘hurling is 2nd class citizen’ palaver.
@HarryStewartMo1@DizzyJB Also raises the question in my mind of how easy would it be for the rider to be handed something he didn’t carry during the race prior to weighing in.
