Sunday Sport

Jumps action returns today at Stratford and Perth but the stable does not have any runners.  There is one all-weather flat card at Southwell and in Ireland, they have a jumps meeting at Sligo and race on the flat at Navan.  The best flat racing of the days comes from France and they have Group action at Longchamp.  The Grand Prix Du Paris over 1m4f is at 7.25pm and Ryan Moore and Aidan O’Brien team up with Trinity College who was last seen winning the Hampton Court Stakes at Royal Ascot.  There are only six runners and it is a high-class field but the Ballydoyle runner should take all the beating. 

Champion jockey Sean Bowen got married on Friday but is back in action at Perth today.  He teams up with Irish trainers Gordon Elliott and Tony Martin this afternoon and none of these usually leave Perth without a winner!

The sports action continues this weekend and we have the men’s Wimbledon tennis final this afternoon at 4pm between Alcaraz and Sinner.  Carlos Alcaraz is looking for his hat trick of wins at Wimbledon and I think he will do it.  He is just 22 years of age but I think he is the best we have seen since Federer, Nadal Djokovic and he will be breaking their records over the next few years.

It is the final day of the Scottish Open golf while we have reached day four of the third cricket Test match between England and India.

I forgot to mention yesterday that the British Lions were in rugby action in a warm up game against an invitational side while today the England ladies footballers play Wales at 8pm in the Euros.  Chelsea are also in action this evening in the FIFA World Club Championships final against PSG at 8pm.  That will be a tough match but Chelsea have been playing well. 

He who drinks a fifth on the fourth, may not be able to go forth on the fifth!

Have a great Sunday!
