Ethereum Girl cruises to victory in Sires' Produce Stakes at Morphettville
Lindsay Park filly Ethereum Girl flexed her muscles in the Group 3 Sires' Produce Stakes, nailing a classy win at Morphettville Parks on Saturday. Handled expertly by jockey Jason Holder, the Ben, Will and JD Hayes -trained Ethereum Girl enjoyed a trail behind fellow border raider Volkano, before taking command at the 300m and booting away, holding off Mostly For Show and Tiptop Tori. Despite negating a slow tempo, Holder was able to get the filly to relax throughout, which was the main instruction from the Hayes camp leading into Saturday's 1400m contest. 'She settled beautiful today,' Holder, who has nailed 32 metro wins this season, said. 'Ben Hayes, the last thing he said to me was 'whatever you do, just get her to settle, just get her to relax so she can finish it off'. 'I didn't ride her last start, but (today) was a nice win.'

The daughter of Japanese sire, Maurice, was a $275,000 yearling purchase at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Sale in 2024. 'She settled really nicely which was great, Ben and the crew will be happy with that,' he said. 'I probably got there a bit too soon, because we were slow, (but) I presented her and she said 'let's go'. 'She pulled her way into it, which is good, she's got room for improvement for sure.' Local galloper Mostly For Show continued his competitive form, finishing hard for second, while rank outsider, Tiptop Tori ($41), ran a huge race at odds, finishing third. Impressive debut winner Volkano was quickly under pressure on straightening, and faded out to finish seventh. • Derby path looms for Busuttin-Young stayer Metro premiership leader Rochelle Milnes maintained her stranglehold on the Adelaide jockeys' title, the gun apprentice booted home impressive winner Sav On Ice for a four-length win in a Benchmark 68 (1550m). The colt has now won back-to-back races for trainer Darryl Carrison. Lachlan Neindorf moved into outright second in the jockeys' premiership with a winner aboard Placo, but despite a late season charge, he remains four wins behind Milnes heading into next Saturday's final meeting of the season. Gun hoop Todd Pannell had a good day in the saddle, snaring a double, with wins aboard Lonrodex and Super Alana.

Watch: Ex-West Indies Captain Fumbles Sitter Twice On Final Ball, Gifts Win To Opponent
Drama ensued in Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025 in a thrilling finish to a match between Washington Freedom (WF) and Los Angeles Knight Riders (LAKR). In a game that went down to the wire, Washington Freedom required just 1 run off the final ball of the match to win. However, in a dramatic sequence, LAKR captain Jason Holder dropped WF batter Glenn Phillips on the last ball. What made the incident even more astonishing was that Holder made not one, but two slip-ups while trying to hold on to the catch. Batting first, LAKR - a subsidiary franchise of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) - had posted a total of 213 in 20 overs, led by opener Andre Fletcher 's stunning century. Fletcher became the first person in the history of Los Angeles Knight Riders to slam a ton. However, significant contributions from Mitchell Owen (43 off 16), Glenn Maxwell (42 off 23) and Glenn Phillips (33 off 23) had kept Washington in the hunt for victory. Watch: Jason Holder drops a sitter on the last ball! Absolute scenes off the last ball in the MLC Washington need one to win. Glenn Phillips is on strike, with Andre Russell bowling. And then... — 7Cricket (@7Cricket) June 27, 2025 With seven runs needed in the final over, star all-rounder Andre Russell had bowled an excellent first five balls, meaning that 1 run was still left to get on the final ball. Russell bowled a tricky low full toss at Phillips, and his shot was heading straight to the fielder at mid-on. However, LAKR captain Jason Holder made a blunder, fielding at mid-on. Holder failed to grab the catch on the first attempt, instead deflecting it into the air again. The 6'7"-tall West Indian then nearly caught it one-handed on the second try, but couldn't get a firm enough grasp and the ball bobbled out. Phillips managed to take a single and Washington won the match. Had Holder held on, the match would've been set for more drama as it would've entered a Super Over. Russell appeared to have already crashed to the ground in disappointment when Holder fumbled the first chance, and seemingly missed the drama of the second attempt. Young Australian opener Mitchell Owen was named the Player of the Match for his 16-ball 43. Fans on the internet were left in disbelief at the chaos and frenzy of the moment. The chaos here is A+ — Ricky Mangidis (@rickm18) June 27, 2025 Nail bitting finish in MLC #MLC — (@SethuVj007) June 27, 2025 Unreal chaos!!! — Sharon Solomon (@BSharan_6) June 27, 2025 The defeat meant that Los Angeles Knight Riders (LAKR) have just one win from their first six matches. It has left them second-from-bottom in the MLC 2025 league table. However, with four matches remaining, LAKR still have the chance to squeeze into the playoff spots.

Andre Russell falls to the floor in disbelief, dugout left dumbstruck as spectacular one-hander nearly forces Super Over
Major League Cricket saw some unbelievable drama unfold in a match between defending champions Washington Freedom and the Los Angeles Knight Riders, as their match at Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas went right down to the wire. With the Freedom needing one run off the last ball of their chase, LAKR's stand-in captain Jason Holder nearly took a remarkable one-handed blinder to take it to a super over — only for the ball to pop out and seal the win for Washington in the most dramatic of situations. Jason Holder nearly took a one-handed blinder to force a super over in LAKR vs Washington Freedom in the MLC, with Andre Russell reacting by falling to the floor in the background.(Sportzpics) With Glenn Phillips on strike and Andre Russell bowling the final over, the field was up trying to prevent the single and force a shot over the top. The Kiwi batter went for it, but wasn't able to elevate over the tall Holder standing at mid-on. Holder had next to no time to react, however, and was only able to parry it. The all-rounder was quick to react, turning and putting in a full length dive to try and get the ball on the second attempt. While he got there at full extension, the ball agonisingly popped out as his elbow hit the ground, allowing the Freedom batters to scamper through and seal the match. Fletcher's century goes in vain, LAKR tough start continues It was a remarkable finish to a high-scoring game, as Holder just failed to take it to a super over in the most climactic fashion. The skipper wasn't the only one left unbelieving on the floor, as Russell hit the deck after he had spilled the initial chance, and watched on as his captain nearly made up for it. The Freedom thus chased down 214 in Texas, taking them to their fifth win in six matches this season, while LAKR slipped to five losses in six matches in a season that hasn't quite gone to plan. Earlier in the match, the Windies-heavy Knight Riders had ridden Andre Fletcher's 104(60) to score 213/4, and would have hoped for that to be enough. However, a furious start from Mitch Owen and some aggressive play through the middle overs from Glenn Maxwell ensured the defending champions were always in touch, before Glenn Phillips took them home in the final over.
