‘That's Ryan Moore's ride' – Punters convinced after Epsom Oaks price collapse
PUNTERS are convinced they know who Ryan Moore will ride in the Epsom Oaks - after an intriguing price crash came seemingly out of nowhere. Aidan O'Brien has three in the Friday Classic ahead of Thursday's declarations. 1 Ryan Moore riding Minnie Hauk to win The Boodles Chester Vase Stakes last month - punters think the top jock will ride her in the Oaks after a price collapse Credit: Getty But just who Moore would choose out of Giselle, Whirl and Minnie Hauk looked anyone's guess. Bookies thought they had some inkling as they made Minnie Hauk, who was 8-1 just 48 hours ago, the outsider of the Ballydoyle trio. But the Cheshire Oaks winner's price has been smashed into as short as 7-2 following a tidal wave of support. Punters think her odds crashing - and Giselle and Whirl's going the opposite way - are a sign Moore has chosen who he will partner, with one proclaiming: "That's Ryan Moore's ride." Paddy Power's Paul Binfield said: "The front two in the Oaks market have both been strong today, but particularly Cheshire Oaks heroine Minnie Hauk. "That support would indicate that punters are pretty sure that of Aidan O'Brien's three possible protagonists, Ryan Moore has chosen to partner this very talented Frankel filly." Whoever Moore rides will have to go some to beat Charlie Appleby's red-hot Oaks favourite Desert Flower, though. The 1000 Guineas winner has been obliterated into just 6-5 with some firms. Most read in Horse Racing Legendary jockey Kieran Fallon, who rides out at trainer Charlie Appleby's Moulton Paddocks yard, And punters think so too, with Desert Flower looking like she could be the shortest-price winner since O'Brien's 11-10 Love in 2020.

Heart-stopping new footage emerges of Jordan Spieth ‘almost ending a fan's life' as golf shot goes badly wrong
JORDAN SPIETH "almost ended a fan's life" when his golf shot went completely wrong. Spieth, 31, played at the Memorial Tournament at Muifield Village Golf Club this weekend. 4 Jordan Spieth got his shot from the rough all wrong at the Memorial Tournament Credit: X / Sky Sports 4 Fans had to duck to take emergency cover from the flying ball Credit: X / Sky Sports He finished in T7 on one-under-par, nine adrift of runaway winner But it was The three-time major winner hit his tee shot well right into the rough. READ MORE ON GOLF But his recovery shot out of the thick cut came scarily close to ending in a tragic disaster. Video footage showed the American lining up the shot in an awkward stance with the ball well above his feet. And as he makes the connection, the ball hurtled at rapid speed straight towards the large group of golf fans stood behind a rope to his right - rather than heading for the green as intended. The fans in direct line of the ball were forced to take emergency cover. Most read in Golf The commentator said: "Goodness me. He was full of confidence but never got the connection at all. "Hopefully everyone is okay. Jordan, what are you doing?" Scottie Scheffler living 'peak dad life' as he's handed baby son with 'poop stain' immediately after winning £3million The terrifying scenes were also filmed from the fans' view as the ball flew towards the camera. Thankfully, the fans somehow managed to get out of harm's way in time and avoided any serious injuries as Spieth recovered to make par. But fans took to social media to express their shock and concern about the worrying incident - as fears grow for spectator safety. One said: "Spieth almost killing a fan on the first hole." Another wrote: "This view of Jordan Spieth almost ending a fan's life is crazy. "It's wild that more serious injuries or even deaths don't happen on tour. Fans have zero fear, even when it's a tough shot." A third added: "Spieth nearly decapitates a fan." And a final user commented: "People are way too trusting when trying to get a closer look at pros. "When Jordan was preparing for the shot I was thinking, those people could be in path of the ball. "The PGA and tournaments needs to reconsider how position fans on shots like that." 4 A fan's video footage showed just how scary the moment was Credit: X 4 Spieth was lucky not to cause serious damage or injury to a spectator Credit: Getty
