Antino a one act affair in Doomben Cup

News.com.au24-05-2025

Queensland superstar Antino became the first local horse in more than 40 years to win the $1 million Group 1 Doomben Cup (2000m) at Doomben on Saturday.
Antino's victory was the first by a Queenslander since Lord Seaman won the weight-for-age contest in 1983.
The race was billed as a two-horse war between Antino and reigning Australian Racehorse of the Year Pride Of Jenni but it fizzled into a one act affair, with Pride Of Jenni beaten turning for home when Antino went on by.
Antino strode clear to win running away by 3-3/4 lengths with Fawkner Park finishing second ahead of Kovalica. Pride Of Jenni was beaten 11 lengths and crossed the line in 10th.

Ange Postecoglou sacked as Tottenham manager two weeks after Europa win

Ange Postecoglou has been sacked as manager of English Premier League team Tottenham Hotspur, just two weeks after he delivered the north London club its first silverware in 17 years. It's understood the 59-year-old Australian has been informed he won't be at Spurs next season. Tottenham won last month's Europa League final, sparking wild celebrations among the club's long-suffering supporters and speculation Postecoglou may be spared. However, the club's disappointing EPL season — its worst ever — was too much for powerbrokers. Despite having one of the more expensive squads in the top flight of English football, Spurs finished 17th, just above the relegation zone. Postecoglou was the first Australian to manage in the Premier League. He spent two seasons at Tottenham, after signing a four-year contract. At a parade last month celebrating the Europa League win, Postecoglou told fans "season three is better than season two". He was born in Greece and moved to Melbourne with his family aged five.
