EPSOM, England (Reuters) - Masar romped home in Britain's richest horse race to deliver a first Epsom Derby triumph for Sheikh Mohammed al Maktoum's Godolphin stable on Saturday.

 

The 16-1 shot, trained by Charlie Appleby and ridden by William Buick, dominated the 239th running of the race to scoop the 920,000-pound first prize ahead of second-placed Dee Ex Bee (20-1) and Roaring Lion (6-1) in third.

 

Hot favourite Saxon Warrior could finish only fourth in the 12-horse field.

 

"It is not easy to win the Derby but we did it," said Sheikh Mohammed.

 

The win represented sweet revenge for Masar, who had been beaten into third in the 2000 Guineas by Saxon Warrior last month.

 

Aidan O'Brien's horse had been hoping to complete the second leg of racing's Triple Crown at Epsom, ahead of an attempt to win the St Leger in September.

 

But the three-year-old, one of five runners trained by the Irishman, was hampered by an inside draw and never recovered from being boxed in at the start.

 

Masar, with Buick in Godolphin's royal blue colours, forced his way to the front mid-race and never looked like being caught.

 

"It's not sunk in yet," Appleby said after training his first Derby winner.

 

"I'm delighted for His Highness Sheikh Mohammed. Firstly for giving me the position to be here. I’ve always said when I started this job I wanted to be the first person to have a Derby winner in Godolphin blue."

 

It proved a one-two for the Dubai royal family, with second-placed Dee Ex Bee owned by Sheikh Mohammed's son, Sheikh Hamdan.

      Where you can celebrate Thanksgiving in Bangkok in 2024

      Are you planning to spend Thanksgiving in Bangkok? While Thanksgiving isn't widely celebrated in Thailand, you can still enjoy a traditional turkey dinner complete with all the classic sides and a slice of American pie.

      Visa on Arrival refused - what is the best way to re-enter Thailand?

      """As I'd stayed in Thailand 1 year and 7 months they said I'm not a tourist so he's refusing the visa waiver.""" Now the POSSIBILITY: Just because you have a VISA - doesn't matter WHAT kind, you CAN be REFUSED entry into Thailand by a Immigration Officer based on 1) Your history on the computer OR 2) any reason thought of by the IO. It happened to a friend of mine who was really WORKING the system for 2+ years in every possible way. He got bounced ( see next paragraph ) on his appeal. If this happens, tell the IO you want a IMMEDIATE APPEAL to your entry refusal, a process unknown to most people. Good Luck.

      Tourist’s Body Found Washed Ashore at Wong Amat Beach, Pattaya

      Pattaya rescue officials from Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation received a report at approximately 07.50 on November 22, from a concerned citizen about a body floating near Wong Amat Beach. The deceased, believed to be a foreigner, had washed ashore. The Pattaya City Police Station was promptly informed, and officers were dispatched to the scene. The incident occurred near Wong Amat Tower, within Soi Pattaya-Naklua 16, Moo 5, Naklua Subdistrict, Bang Lamung District. Upon arrival, officials found locals gathered near the body, which was floating face-up close to the shoreline. Rescue teams cordoned off the area and retrieved the body from the water. The deceased was identified as a foreign male, estimated to be between 40 and 50 years old, approximately 170–180 cm tall. He was shirtless, wearing black trousers, and had a short haircut. Initial assessments suggest the man had been dead for no more than eight hours. Upon inspecting the body, authorities discovered an iPhone 5 in the pocket of his trousers, a gold watch on his left wrist, a gold necklace, and a gold ring on his left ring finger. However, no identification documents were found to confirm his nationality. Mrs. Preaw Pinyoying, an 83-year-old local resident, recounted a passerby fishing in the area had informed her of the floating body, about 30 metres from the shore. The waves appeared to be pushing it towards the beach. The fisherman asked Mrs. Preaw to immediately notify police and rescue officials. Police speculate that the man may have been walking in the early morning when a pre-existing medical condition caused his sudden death. No signs of foul play were detected, although minor scrapes on the body, likely caused by rocks in the water, were observed. As the area is relatively quiet during the early morning, there were no witnesses to confirm when or how the man entered the water. The body has been transported to Bang Lamung Hospital, where it will be kept pending identification and contact with the deceased’s family for religious rites. Investigation into the case continues.

      Gaetz withdraws from AG

      Have you ever worked in a government office? Some agencies are better than others, but it really is true. You can probably walk into about any big government agency and fire half the people. The public would never notice the difference. Currently, they can't really do that so easily, so they'll have to figure out creative ways to do it. Eliminating entire agencies. Moving the agency headquarters to Guam. Ending work from home.

      Problem with constipation at 82.

      Another one who is NOT a Doctor! The point of a Doctor is to establish a correct diagnosis that takes account of possible complications and other pre-exisiting conditions with this particular patient!

      British lawyer latest to fall in Laos alcohol poisoning tragedy

      RIP to those poor people. Vang Vieng has become a version of Koh Phangnan / Koh Tao / Khaosan Road all rolled into one. Sadly, rich people in Laos also have the same level of immunity as their Thai counterparts. Perhaps more so because many of them have got rich through tight links with certain ministers / Politburo members, rather than through general biz.
