Fifa are independent and impartial – allegedly. And apparently…?!
Trump’s intervention to have a red card rescinded is simply remarkable. Mind boggling. But Karma came in the form of a Belgian thrashing of the US. We have sporting administrations in this country who are flawed and impotent and useless – but this is different class…

Newmarket’s July meeting on Thursday. And then we have this bonkers Saturday of big field handicaps up and down the land. Race programming ?! Every year, jockey juggling on this coming Thursday morning is exhausting as plans change and agents pull their jockeys hither and thither…
Richard Hughes in the Racing Post – “the sport beats you up every day and I just wish we had a dictator running it….”
