WINNER

The Annual Kiplingcotes Derby took place today. The oldest horse race in England it attracted a large crowd. Tracey Corrigan won for the 3rd year running on a horse called Bob . . . I always thought that was the name for a goldfish ! Here she is with the grandest trophy you can find.
Extras include some of the raucous crowd,  Bob in the final few yards and part of the course showing how soft the ground was.
Sporty Bit . . . it seems to have been a long time since an SB . . . today Boro parted company with Head Coach Aitor Karanka . . . very mixed thoughts about this, but things had to change inside my beloved Boro.  In Aitor we have lost faith . . . but thanks anyway. Pity it did not happen last week as I would have loved Mark Warburton to have taken over, but he has moved on. Only time will tell how successful this move will be . . . I am not averse to relegation . . . sometimes you have to go backwards to move forwards !
