Storm brews at Epsom over the 150-1 Derby outsider and his genius owner who wins millions with bargain horses
He is one of the sharpest operators in the game AL THE RAGE Storm brews at Epsom over the 150-1 Derby outsider and his genius owner who wins millions with bargain horses Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THERE is a storm brewing at Epsom - and not just with the weather. While the rain is set to pour on the Downs - and thunder and hail are forecast - there could be a tornado on the track. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Super shrewd owner Ahmad Al Shaikh has won a fortune from his bargain runners in the Derby - and he has another 150-1 outsider primed to strike this year Credit: PA Al Wasl Storm is the 150-1 outsider bookies are giving no hope in hell of winning the world's most prestigious Flat race. But his owner Ahmad Al Shaikh, a Dubai businessman who loves staying horses, knows exactly what it takes to plunder huge cheques with bargain basement horses. And he's done it loads before in the Derby. Hoo Ya Mal was a 150-1 runner-up in 2022 - his valiant second securing his owner a cheque for £350,000 before he sold him to Australia for £1.2million. A blinding bit of business as the horse has never bettered that second-place finish. Khalifa Sat was second two years before that at whopping odds of 50-1, landing Al Shaikh a cheque for just north of £100,000. When 25-1 Deira Mile and 50-1 Sayedaty Sadaty were fourth and fifth respectively last year, the gravelly-voiced Al Shaikh left Epsom a staggering £125,000 better off. In a world where horses are routinely sold for seven figures, Al Shaikh refuses to ever spend more than £80,000 - even though he and his Green Team operation have combined to win over £1m in recent years. For every purchase, he goes through their pedigrees himself (paying particular attention to the third dam) making sure they match what he likes. Which brings us back to Al Wasl Storm. Trained by Owen Burrows, the three-year-old colt was bought for just £5,900 at the sales in November 2022. He was dead last on debut at Newbury in April then came second to fellow Derby runner Rogue Impact at Lingfield. His last run was his best, winning over the 1m4f Derby trip at Chester and staying on well to the line. The £20,616 Al Shaikh, under the Green Team banner, pocketed there was nice. But it's an amazing £900,000 for winning the Derby - and the potential in stud fees as a result is practically unlimited. As an example, former Derby winner Galileo was rumoured to charge £600,000 a cover at stud before he died. So while the likes of Aidan O'Brien's Delacroix and Charlie Appleby's Ruling Court head the market, if you fancy one at a price keep looking further and further down the racecard. All the way to 150-1, where you find Al Wasl Storm. History shows he is bound to outrun his odds.

Cheltenham Cricket Festival 'may not survive' rising costs
The chair of Gloucestershire County Cricket Club has warned the future of the Cheltenham Cricket Festival will be in doubt if it doesn't stop losing fortnight-long event at the College Ground, which sees Gloucestershire move from their usual ground in Bristol up to Cheltenham, is the world's longest-running cricket festival, having started more than 150 years county said it has been losing "tens of thousands of pounds" because of rising costs and falling ticket Peter Matthews said the club "can't run the event long term at a loss". The first Cheltenham Cricket Festival was held in 1872 and at one time Gloucestershire played matches across the county. In more recent years, the club's annual trip to play at Moreton-In-Marsh ended in 1996 and financial pressures led to the Gloucester Cricket Festival coming to an end in is now the only place in Gloucestershire where the county plays matches, with the regular home games taking place in Bristol. Mr Matthews said the event in Cheltenham has faced increased financial challenges since the Covid-19 pandemic."For many years, particularly pre-Covid, when corporate hospitality was in its prime, it was making very good money for the county, but it has been a struggle in recent years."Last year's festival was particularly difficult. The weather wasn't very good and we didn't get as many spectators as we had expected. The cost of putting the festival on has also gone up in recent years," he added. 'We must be realistic' A new committee has been set up to try and boost the number of people attending this year's event, which takes place in mid July. "We've put together an action plan, we've put together a new team and we've got some great events lined up. We're very hopeful this year we will see a change in finances for the county," said Mr Matthews."But we have to be realistic, we can't run the event long term at a loss".The club, which announced last year it would be exploring options for a new stadium on the edge of Bristol, is planning to set up a 'boundary hub', with Mr Matthews saying it "recognises that for some people it's a social occasion as well as a cricket occasion".The hub will host events with the presenters of TV show Bargain Hunt, jockeys and Cheltenham Town FC players, as well as a cricket memorabilia event. The festival also provides opportunities for local organisations and charities to raise awareness and Cheltenham Town FC Community Trust will be part of this year's event, and community fundraiser Tess Warby said it's a great way for them to promote what they do."Not a lot of people know about us at the moment, but we do lots in the community. We provide programmes to help with mental health, education and inclusion."Sport brings people together at the football club. The Cheltenham cricket festival brings another community together. It's nice to work with a local organisation to help build awareness," she added."It's one of the oldest-running cricket festivals and it's fantastic to be part of such a rich heritage."Bringing two big sporting local organisations together - we should be supporting each other as businesses and charities."

It hurts a lot – Jack Draper out of French Open after defeat to Alexander Bublik
The British number one and fifth seed seemed to have his head scrambled by the unpredictable slugger from Kazakhstan as he slumped to a 5-7 6-3 6-2 6-4 loss. It meant an end to Britain's hopes in the singles at Roland Garros after Cameron Norrie, somewhat less surprisingly, was beaten by Novak Djokovic about an hour earlier. Soaking in all the emotions 🥹#RolandGarros — Roland-Garros (@rolandgarros) June 2, 2025 Instead, 27-year-old Bublik – the world number 62 – became the first Kazakh man to reach a grand slam quarter-final. 'It was a tough match. I didn't play a good match, but I also didn't play a bad match,' Draper said. 'I thought he played incredibly well. He didn't allow me to play my tennis, I don't think. 'I don't think I've reached my best level this week. Then today just a couple of dips here and there, and he took advantage. Defeat for Jack Draper to an inspired Alexander Bublik in Paris#BackTheBrits 🇬🇧 | #RolandGarros — LTA (@the_LTA) June 2, 2025 'Usually when you play someone like Alexander, he's quite up and down with his level, but he was completely locked in. 'It hurts a lot, but I just move on. I'm hurt, and for sure I'm really disappointed. I had an opportunity today, and I missed my opportunity, for sure. 'I struggle to put things in perspective, but I think I am proud of the effort that I've done on the clay. I think I've really improved. 'I always use the lessons from my losses. I always use the fuel and the hurt to better myself. 'It will take a couple of days probably to get over it, but I will, and I'll move on and keep on getting better.' Draper had matched Bublik serve for serve in the first set until he was gifted the break for 6-5 by a double-fault. The 23-year-old also broke at the start of the second, but from then on things just seemed to unravel. Bublik, to his credit, was hitting the ball gloriously at times, his drop-shots repeatedly leaving Draper stranded. The stress on Draper's face was there for all to see as Bublik marched into a 2-1 lead, with the Londoner simply unable to halt the momentum. In a marathon final game Draper saved a match point and had five break points, but was unable to take any of them. In the build-up to the match Bublik had compared Draper to a UFC fighter, but after two hours and 34 minutes it was the 6ft 5in underdog who landed the knockout blow. Bublik said afterwards: 'You know sometimes in life there is only one chance. I had a feeling that I was mine and I couldn't let it slip. Bublik getting emotional after his huge win 🥹#RolandGarros — Roland-Garros (@rolandgarros) June 2, 2025 'Standing here this is the best moment of my life. That's amazing, monsieurs et madames, thank you very much.' Grinning from ear to ear as the crowd gave him a standing ovation, he hilariously cut short his on-court interview. 'You know I'm standing here like I won the thing,' he added. 'I could cry here. Stop. I still have a match to go. I'm a professional tennis player. I have to get ready.'
