LUTON edged a point ahead of Hull at the top of the League One table despite being held in a dour draw by dogged Colchester. Hull's 1-0 defeat at Doncaster will have come as a welcome bonus to Mike Newell's side, who failed to produce the fluent football they have been playing all season in a game where there was barely a clear-cut chance. In fact, the best opportunity came after just 90 seconds when Luton midfielder Kevin Nicholls headed wide from Chris Coyne's corner, while 18-goal top scorer Steve Howard brought the first save from Colchester goalkeeper Aidan Davison, playing his first game of 2005 after injury. Just before the midway point of the opening half, the home side began to threaten as Neil Danns had a close-range header held by keeper Marlon Beresford, and Luton were then forced into a substitution, with Paul Underwood replaced by Peter Holmes due to injury. Colchester were getting into the game and Beresford denied Joe Keith before Craig Fagan shot wide, as did Greg … [Read more...] about FOOTBALL: NEWELL’S BATTLERS BLANK ON TOP SPOT

NEWMARKET: Love put daylight between her and the contenders to win the 1,000 Guineas at a 4-1 shot on Sunday (Jun 7) to give trainer Aidan O'Brien a sixth win in the second Classic at Newmarket. The victory was O'Brien's fourth in five years as Love, ridden by jockey Ryan Moore, pulled clear in the closing stages to beat Cloak of Spirits (12-1) by more than four lengths while the 11-4 unbeaten favourite Quadrilateral finished third. "She's a very uncomplicated filly. She's a typical Galileo filly," Moore said in a post-race interview with ITV. "If it wasn't for her last run, last year, you'd have been pretty confident that she was the one to beat today and she was in control of the race from a long way out. She won as she liked, really." The race was run without spectators while jockeys and support staff wore face masks. On Saturday, Qatar Racing-owned 10-1 shot Kameko, ridden by champion jockey Oisin Murphy and trained by Andrew Balding, ended red hot favourite Pinatubo's … [Read more...] about Horse Racing: Love prevails to win 1,000 Guineas for O’Brien’s sixth win

As thousands of extremists poured past police and barricades into the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6 in a desperate attempt to stop the counting of electoral votes and certification of Joe Biden’s victory in the November presidential election, Americans were understandably shocked. No one should be surprised. The attack didn’t come out of nowhere and neither did the Republican politicians supporting, organizing and encouraging it. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Josh Hawley, R-Mo., are not radicals within their party and their actions are nothing other than completely in keeping with what has been the mission of their party since reconstruction. It was never acceptable for the media, or anyone for that matter, to let things go as far as they have without recognizing the fundamental truth underlying everything that has happened in the past weeks, months or century even.  The party that we call Republicans now — but was first incarnated as the Democratic party following … [Read more...] about OPINION: It’s time to save our democracy
