Canterbury preview: Matthew Dale's calculated approach with track specialist No Drama to pay dividends
The old saying 'horses for courses' hold firmly for Goulburn Matthew Dale which is why has patiently waited for this meeting at Canterbury. Dale 's five-year-old gelding No Drama has shown a real love for the circuit with two wins and a close second from three starts. His first win at Canterbury came July last year at just his second start for Dale while his other win and second placings came in his last three starts. He led all-the-way to beat Naval Commission over 15050m on April 30 and was just caught late by Nana's Wish over the same distance on June 18. 'He's got a real liking for those sort of rolling, tight-turning tracks. He seems very suited to them,' said Dale. ðŸ'� No dramas if you're on No Drama, as he races away to win easily at Canterbury! @clarkyhk | @aus_turf_club â€' SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) April 30, 2025 The Form: Complete NSW Racing thoroughbred form, including video replays and all you need to know about every horse, jockey and trainer. Find a winner here! 'He's got a good record at Canterbury and he's also won at Moonee Valley as well. 'He nearly pinched it at Canterbury last start and the horse who beat him, has come out and won again since so the form if very solid.' The son of Ghibellines can add to that record in the All Too Hard @ Vinery Stud Handicap (1550m) despite his top weight of 62.5kg. 'We have targeted these races with him but with his benchmark, he is just up in the weights a bit,' Dale said. 'He has ticked over well and stayed nice and sharp with a number of weeks between runs waiting for this race.' Dale was happy with Ringarosa when fourth to Romeo's Choice over 1000m at Warwick Farm on July 2 at her first run in nearly eight months and first for the stable. No tragedy here! Romeo’s Choice wins first-up, as class tells the tale. 🙌 @littracing @aus_turf_club â€' SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) July 2, 2025 'I thought she would be well placed first-up and she ran accordingly,' he said. 'It was a funny day. It was a Heavy 10 and usually they come down the outside at Warwick Farm but they were coming up the rail and through the ruck that day. 'The form out of her race has obviously stood up too with Romeo's Choice winning again at Rosehill on Saturday.' Broadsiding @Darley Handicap (1250m) where she has drawn barrier 3. The six-year-old daughter of Sebring hasn't won for over two years but she is a winner over this track and distance.

EastEnders star slams critics after claims co-stars were booed at Soap Awards
A star of long-running BBC soap EastEnders has moved to deny allegations his co-stars were booed after winning a prestigious award at this year's Soap Awards in London at the weekend A star of EastEnders has "shut down" critics after claims some cast members were booed at the weekend's Soap Awards. As soap stars flocked to the Hackney Empire in London on Saturday, May 31, it's alleged a number of EastEnders actors were met with boos at the annual event. Rudolph Walker and Angela Wynter, who star as Patrick and Yolande Trueman on the BBC soap, won Best On-Screen Partnership on the night. And after an apparent mixed reaction, fellow star Colin Salmon has now had his say on the incident. Colin, who plays the role of George Knight in the long-running soap, voiced his opinion on X/ Twitter. Trying to explain exactly what had happened, he said: "Just want to clarify; No one was booing Rudi and Angela at the@SoapAwards we were singing RUUUDI , RUUUDI , RUUUDI. " He added the interaction had "obviously confused some people". "Appreciate some were concerned, as we should be, but it's all good," he added before signing off: "'#NoDrama#WeLovePatrickandYolande @bbceastenders." His clarity comes after fans had been calling the alleged booing "sickening". "Can't believe Swarla fans or whatever they're called booing Angela and Rudolph and them having to do a retake on their award," one wrote on Walford Web forum. "Disgusting," they added. Another said: "There are some tweets going about saying they were booing but now seeing mixed reports saying there was no booing." And others took to Colin's post to thank him for trying to explain what had happened. "Thank you for saying this Colin congrats on the win for Best Soap," one relieved user told him. EastEnders were big winners at this year's ceremony. They soap had been nominated for 13 nominations over 12 categories prior to the event. And they were crowned victorious of the top gong, being named Best British Soap. They beat Emmerdale, Coronation Street and Hollyoaks to the coveted accolade. In total, the show bagged eight awards. Other accolades included Steve McFadden picking up Best Dramatic Performance and Best Single Episode for Phil Mitchell's psychosis. The wins come in the soap's 40th anniversary year. Elsewhere, Hollyoaks were handed three awards, Emmerdale won two and Coronation Street walked away with one - the Outstanding Achievement Award to David Neilson, who has played Roy Cropper for 30 years. The biggest names in soapland dazzled on the glitter carpet at the glitzy event- with Hollyoaks actress Jorgie Porter and Corrie favourite Tina O'Brien both looking sensational in the same dress, a sparkly Oh Polly number. Speaking ahead of her win for scene of the year, EastEnders legend Anita Dobson gushed: 'It was just perfect.' When she was asked if she could return again, she added: 'I don't think so, although I should say never say never, it would have to be something extra special.'
