Whirl denies Kalpana in pulsating Pretty Polly Stakes

WHIRL GAINED EPSOM compensation when edging out Kaplana in an enthralling Paddy Power Pretty Polly Stakes. The Group One event looked a match on paper between Andrew Balding's proven Group One performer Kalpana (5-6 favourite) and Aidan O'Brien's narrow Oaks second, and so it proved as the pair served up a Curragh Classic. Ryan Moore was quickly away dictating terms aboard the 13-8 second-favourite, with Colin Keane never far away aboard the Juddmonte-owned Kalpana and must have thought the race was his for the taking when Whirl was asked for maximum effort with two furlongs to run with Kalpana still travelling menacingly. However, Whirl was not for giving in and after a titanic tussle the Wootton Bassett filly pulled out extra inside the final furlong to shade a length and a quarter verdict and deny Juddmonte back-to-back victories in the feature event after Bluestocking 12 months ago. 'She's an incredible filly. She's just progressed and she loves getting into a fight,' said O'Brien. 'Obviously we saw that she stays a mile and a half at Epsom. She's absolutely concrete, really. We knew that obviously she wouldn't mind the mile and a quarter as she was very impressive in York when she won the Musidora. Advertisement 'They got into a battle turning in and battling all the way up the straight like that at the Curragh takes some courage and they kept going together. Ryan said he felt 50 yards from the line that she had a look at the camera and he knew he had her then.' O'Brien was winning the Pretty Polly for the sixth time and reserved special praise for Moore, who was joining the list of great jockeys who have won the race three times. 'Ryan gave her a brilliant ride, he got the fractions absolutely spot on,' added O'Brien. 'It's a difficult thing when you are running a mile-and-a-half filly back at a mile and a quarter. You are trying to spread the stamina out over a mile and a quarter without stretching the elastic too long, but he got it absolutely spot on. 'He got the favourite to challenge him and this filly gets a mile and a half so there was no point turning it into a sprint. It was the plan to spread it out and let the two of them get together and see who was going to be the best. 'As they say 'let the best horse jump the ditch' after that. Two great jockeys, what can I say about Ryan, day in day out he's incredible. 'They went strong and the two of them went together. Ryan and Colin knew they were each other's dangers and they weren't going to give each other an inch, which they couldn't afford to. 'Those kind of races are few and far between. When you have that type of quality horse lining up and two riders like that. On ground like this, in a place like this, it's a very special weekend.' As for the future for his winner, O'Brien is inclined to keep an open mind, with Whirl's Epsom conqueror Minnie Hauk also up his sleeve for the season's major events. He said: 'She can go anywhere now this filly. She can come back here to the Oaks, she can go to the Nassau (at Goodwood). 'She's an unusual filly. She's tough and she's not even blowing there, her nostrils weren't even flaring. 'She's obviously a very high-class filly and it's very exciting. It's possible she's kept apart from Minnie Hauk, but the lads could let them run together in the Oaks. 'I'd imagine if Minnie Hauk comes back to the Oaks and she's well she'll be let go by herself and this filly could do other things. 'She's not slow either.'

What time and channel is the Jake Paul fight on? TV and stream details

Jake Paul faces Julio Cesar Chavez Jr tonight – and a win could catapult him into world title contention. Paul has padded his record largely against retired MMA fighters and fellow influencers, but Chavez Jr represents a significant step up as a former world champion. A victory tonight would likely earn Paul a ranking from at least one major sanctioning body, potentially positioning him for a shot at a cruiserweight title. Chavez Jr, however, will be determined to avoid the humiliation of losing to a YouTuber-turned-boxer. He's only fought once in the past four years, narrowly outpointing ex-UFC fighter Uriah Hall. Here's everything you need to know about tonight's bout – including the start time and how to watch. After his fight with Mike Tyson was shown on Netflix, Jake Paul returns to DAZN tonight for his clash with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. The fight will NOT be included as part of your DAZN subscription but will instead be shown on pay-per-view, meaning fans will have to stump up £24.99 to watch. You can sign up for DAZN and purchase the fight by clicking the link below... Jake Paul and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr will likely walk to the ring just after 4am (Irish time) with the fight starting closer to 4.30am. With the fight being staged in California, this will be 8.30pm local time so don't be surprised if the fight actually gets underway closer to 5am Irish time. As always, the main event time will be dictated to some extent by how long the undercard fights take to complete. Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr - 4.30am Jake Paul, who boldly and perhaps absurdly claims to be the face of boxing, will need to stylishly defeat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr to validate his audacious claim. It's been over two years since Paul faced a 'genuine' boxer, Tommy Fury, and he now faces a significant step up from 58 year old Mike Tyson, whom he outscored last November. However, Chavez Jr has been largely inactive, having fought only once in the past four years, scraping a victory over ex-UFC star Uriah Hall. Gilberto Ramirez vs Yuniel Dorticos - 3.30am If both men triumph in their respective bouts tonight, Gilberto Ramirez could be the one to give Jake Paul his dream world title shot. Before Paul steps into the ring against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, Ramirez will defend his cruiserweight world title against Yuniel Dorticos, a former champion himself. Having won three consecutive fights after his sole career loss to Dmitry Bivol, Ramirez is the favourite for tonight's match. Floyd Schofield vs Tevin Farmer - 2.30am Floyd Schofield was scheduled to fight Shakur Stevenson earlier this year but withdrew during fight week due to illness. Instead, he'll face veteran Tevin Farmer tonight, aiming to put on a spectacular performance to secure another high-profile bout. Schofield risks his undefeated record against Farmer, who has lost his last three fights and is eager to make a stylish comeback. Avious Griffin vs Julian Rodriguez - 1.45am With just one defeat in 40 fights between them, there's a lot at stake tonight. Avious Griffin remains undefeated in his career, having won all 17 of his bouts and knocked out all but one of his opponents. Julian Rodriguez, who has only fought three times since his loss to Jose Pedraza in 2021, needs a win tonight to reignite his career. Raul Curiel vs Victor Ezequiel Rodriguez - 1am Two unbeaten fighters start the pay-per-view segment of the fight card, with both men winning all but one of their fights - the other being a draw. Raul Curiel was held to a draw in his last bout just before Christmas, while Victor Ezequiel Rodriguez has claimed four victories since his sole setback in 2023. Holly Holm vs Yolanda Guadalupe Vega Ochoa Victor Morales vs Rene Alvarado Joel Iriarte vs Kevin Johnson Joshua Edwards vs Dominicc Hardy John Ramirez vs Joahnys Argilagos Alexander Gueche vs Vincent Avina Jake Paul: "He's a great fighter. I like big names, legendary names, and he's on my path to a world championship. This is a tough test, a very tough test, but I'm here to challenge myself and do big things in this sport and then make a title run after I beat him. He's coming in prepared. They're saying this is the hardest he's ever trained, and he's right…I'm not a good boxer. I'm a great boxer." Julio Cesar Chavez Jr: "I don't think he's good. I think he tries, he trains hard, but he's not a good fighter. He's definitely not a good boxer. If he were a good boxer, then everyone else on this stage would be a legend. I don't think he's a good boxer, and everybody knows that. My preparation, I always prepare to take a win. I'm here to win and that's why I'm so confident that I will win."
