Give It To Me Oj tastes Final glory at Sandown
Gary Moore said: 'I was worried he wasn't very well handicapped off his mark on what he did at Liverpool, so when I ran him last week I thought at least he will either have two wins to his name or if he gets beat, he would be dropped with this race in the back of my mind.
'He has always been a nice horse and he has kind of exceeded all expectations today for a four-year-old to carry 12st and it was quite a good performance. Probably the handicapper got it right again and had him on the right mark.
'He will stick to hurdles and I want to give him a break now, but he could go back on the Flat. We'll see how he comes out of today.
'His handicap mark will decide where he goes now and one that comes into the back of my mind, if not a handicap, would be the Masterson Holdings at Cheltenham.'
The Moores and Quinn then doubled up in the bet365 Josh Gifford Novices' Handicap Chase with Mark Of Gold (11-1), who collared long-time leader Mahons Glory on the run in to win by three-quarters of a length.
Mahons Glory lost many lengths by repeatedly jumping out to his left.
Gary Moore said: 'This horse is unbelievable what he's done. A great bunch of people own him and it's great for Stevie Fisher.
'Him and Caoilin get on amazingly well and they are made for each other. It was a great riding performance again today and a great performance from the horse.
'His handicap mark has meant he's had to run in some tough races this year and a bit like the horse in the first, I thought he was badly handicapped, but if he got beat he might come down a pound or two.
'It's brilliant and we've made no secret of the fact we've had a moderate season, but it's a shame it is going to end now.'

Writing on social media at the time, grieving Murray posted: "You were the most loyal and protective companion our family could have wished for. "You were so patient and gentle with the kids and we all learned so much from you. "The house feels empty without you in it. "The noise you made when you wanted a plate to lick, or a biscuit to chew on, or when you wanted anything for that matter, was infuriating at times! "But today we would do anything to hear it again. Love you Ruzz, rest easy poppet x." Fans flooded his Instagram page with messages of support following the tragic news as they expressed their sympathy for him and his family.

Tour de France Femmes 2025: stage two updates on hilly run to Quimper
Update: Date: 2025-07-27T10:46:31.000Z Title: Preamble Content: The riders begin today at the Tour's most westerly point in Brest at the start of what is officially classed as a flat stage. But a 'flat' stage with three Cat. 4 climbs, plus another Cat. 3 climb thrown in for good measure, means this is not necessarily going to be a sprint finish. This is a stage for the puncheurs, the all-rounders, so it would not be a surprise to see someone like Marianne Vos finish strongly again here today – the 38-year-old rolled back the years on Saturday to win stage one and the yellow jersey. Here are the GC standings after stage one: 1. Vos 2. Le Court + 4' 3. Ferrand-Prevot +6' 4. Niewiadoma +10' 5. Vollering +13' 6. Puck Pieterse +15' 7. Van der Breggen +15' 8. Jansen +19' 9. Pauliena Rooijakkers +19' 10. Pfeiffer Georgi +19' There is a circuit of Quimper to finish today, with a slight uphill finish, we'll have to see if there is a late attack, or if someone goes for it earlier, perhaps on one of the Cat. 4 climbs. Let's see. It is an intriguing and exciting day in the saddle. Roll out: 12.10pm BST

Glorious Goodwood odds: Latest betting odds for Glorious Goodwood 2025
Glorious Goodwood has been an integral part of the British horse racing calendar since 1802, being held in late July and/or early August since its inception. With 37 races spread across five days, it's a feast of flat racing for bettors and we've got all the best Goodwood odds from betting sites for each and every race of this unique festival. An unusual, quirky racecourse compared to many around the world, Goodwood does not have a complete circuit, with a series of loops helping to create the races longer than sprints. Races of six furlongs or less are contested on the straight course, which climbs for the first furlong or so before being mostly downhill from that point. The meeting has strong links to summer fashion and is set in the beautiful scenery of the Sussex Downs, with the south coast in view from the back of the main grandstand. There are three Group 1 races during the week, with the Sussex Stakes, contested over one mile, being the centrepiece. The Goodwood Cup and the Nassau Stakes complete the trio of top races, while there are numerous other Group races across the five days and the Stewards Cup, a prestigious six-furlong sprint handicap, contested annually on the final day. You'll find Goodwood racing odds for all those feature races and more from licensed and regulated horse racing betting sites on this page. Glorious Goodwood Odds Glorious Goodwood 2025 begins on Tuesday 29 July and runs until Saturday 2 August on the Sussex Downs. Bettors can find odds for each and every race at Glorious Goodwood using our live odds tracker, which pulls in odds from online bookmakers and displays the best prices for each runner. The Goodwood horse racing odds above are live and updated in real time, so make sure to bookmark this page to stay up to date with the latest prices. Glorious Goodwood Races Guide Glorious Goodwood Day 1 A fabulous five days of action begins on Tuesday, 29 July with the Group 2 Lennox Stakes. The feature on the opening day is the Group 1 Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup Stakes. Contested over two miles, this race has seen some of the best stayers ever to have raced involved, including recent favourites such as the four-time winner, Stradivarius. Glorious Goodwood Day 2 Day two takes place on Wednesday, 30 July and places an emphasis on speed. The traditional feature is the Group 1 Sussex Stakes, contested over one mile. First run in 1841, this race features the pick of the nation's milers aged three and upwards. In recent history, the brilliant Baaed won this race in 2022, while Frankel, who many believe to have been the greatest horse of them all, lifted the prize in both 2011 and 2012. There's also a chance to see some stars of the future with the Group 3 Molecomb Stakes open to two-year-old speedsters. Glorious Goodwood Day 3 Day three is Ladies Day. There'll be some fabulous fashions to enjoy and the pick of the action on the track is the featured Visit Qatar Nassau Stakes over a mile and two furlongs. This race was first run in 1840 and has been run over its current distance since 1911, while being promoted to Group 1 status in 1999. The magnificent Midday won this race three years in succession from 2009-2011 under jockey Tom Queally. The Richmond Stakes is another classy Group 2 sprint race for two-year-olds over six furlongs. We'll have all the Goodwood odds from online bookmakers and betting apps for the Nassau Stakes, the Richmond Stakes, plus all the other races on day three. Glorious Goodwood Day 4 Day four at Goodwood puts speed front and centre again. The feature race is the Group 2 King George Qatar Stakes, worth over £170,000 to the winner. This five-furlong sprint has featured many of the fastest horses ever to have raced, including the wonderful Battaash, who won the race in four successive years from 2017 to 2020, under jockey Jim Crowley. The supporting cast on Friday isn't bad either, with bettors able to find Goodwood odds for the Coral Golden Mile and the Group 3 Bonhams Thoroughbred Stakes. Glorious Goodwood Day 5 The curtain comes down on Glorious Goodwood on Saturday, when the feature race is the Stewards' Cup, a valuable big field sprint handicap over six furlongs. This cavalry charge has proved an incredibly difficult race to win but the Michael Dods-trained Commanche Falls holds the rare distinction of winning it two seasons in succession, in 2021 and 2022. Glorious Goodwood Odds Explained The odds on each horse at Glorious Goodwood, just like at any other horse race meeting, are determined based on market confidence and not on predictions. Bookies will set the initial odds on a horse based on what they think its chance is of winning the race. The better the chance, the shorter the odds. Those deemed less likely to win are priced accordingly, with bigger odds. Once the betting market has open, the odds then fluctuate according to market confidence, so if more people bet on a horse, its odds will shorten. If fewer people bet on a horse than the bookies expected, its odds can increase. Ante-post odds are odds that bookies offer in advance of the day of the race. Just like odds offered by bookmakers on the day of the race, ante-post odds can also change frequently. Responsible Gambling Sports betting can be enjoyable, but it's important to stay in control and gamble responsibly. Whether you are using the best online casino, slot sites, poker sites, or online bookmakers, responsible gambling should always be a priority. All licensed gambling sites in the UK are required to provide tools such as deposit limits, time-outs, self-exclusion, and self-assessment questionnaires. These are designed to help you manage your activity and protect your well-being. Many operators, including online bookmakers and new casino sites, will offer free bets or a casino bonus. While these can be tempting, it is vital to read the terms and conditions of any offer before taking part. If you are concerned about your gambling behaviour, support is available from:
