‘Spineless' – Meg Nicholls' verdict on Philip Byrnes' infamous fall as dad Charles breaks silence after horse is sold
BYRN AFTER READING 'Spineless' – Meg Nicholls' verdict on Philip Byrnes' infamous fall as dad Charles breaks silence after horse is sold Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BRAVE Meg Nicholls was praised by punters for giving her no-holds-barred verdict on Philip Byrnes' infamous Wexford fall. The jockey's 'soft' unseat at the last when clear on Redwood Queen has sparked an urgent Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board investigation. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up Statement issued as officials launch probe into jockey's final-flight fall on leading horse who drifted in market The mare, who has since been sold to a new trainer having belonged to Philip's brother Cathal, was a huge drifter in the betting before the off. New footage has emerged of the flashpoint, which saw Philip, whose dad Charles trained the horse, fall to his knees after the horse successfully jumped the last. Nicholls was involved in a discussion with Sun Racing's Matt Chapman and former Grand National-winning rider Mick Fitzgerald last weekend. And Meg, daughter of iconic trainer Paul, didn't hold back when giving her opinion of what happened. Quizzed by Fitzgerald: "So come on then, what are you saying, that he jumped off?" Meg without hesitation hit back: "I think it looks like it. "Watching that it looks as if he is preparing… his knee is out already. He is pushing himself out the left hand side. "It looks as if he is trying to come off." Nicholls' analysis was lauded as 'superb' by ITV viewers - but some disagreed with Fitzgerald. One took exception to his 'spineless' verdict of the incident, while others thought he offered valuable insight into what the jockey was trying to do. Either way, as Chapman wrote in his column, the outcome of the probe will more than likely depend on what can be traced, if anything, to betting patterns around the race. Byrnes senior finally broke his silence on the incident and used the opportunity to hit out at those doubting his son. He said: "It's obvious what happened. "He was trying to get the mare to go in and pop it, because obviously she had the race won, and she came up out of his hands and blew him out of the saddle. "There's no one hurting more than Philip about it." All this came as new footage of the fall was shared online. The camera, looking down towards the post from the track, focused in on how Byrnes' feet left their irons. Viewing it on Racing TV on Sunday morning, former jockey Adam McNamara conceded it 'looks really bad'. He said: "I'm going to be pro-jockey by nature and perhaps it's naive of me, but I want to believe it was an unseat. "If it was something more sinister why wait until last to do it? "It looks really bad - I think it's a really bad bit of riding. "The jockey will say he should never have fallen off that." Stewards originally decided on the day that no further action would be taken over the incident. But it was only after a social media outcry that the IHRB confirmed it was being looked into. 1 The new footage from behind focused in how Byrnes' feet left his irons mid-jump FREE BETS - GET THE BEST SIGN UP DEALS AND RACING OFFERS Commercial content notice: Taking one of the offers featured in this article may result in a payment to The Sun.

Fabio Wardley reveals he is facing his girlfriend's wrath with baby due a week after his dream Portman Road fight

The Ipswich super-fan faces Australian Justis Huni on Saturday at the Premier League stadium.

Wardley told Ring Magazine: 'This is a slightly tense topic. My missus wasn't the happiest with this fight date. 'She is due a week later but it is Portman Road. It's not just any fight, it's the one at Portman Road. She said, 'Yeah I know but…' 'They say the chances are that the first one comes late but who knows.

I'm just focusing on my job at this point and that is winning the fight. 'It's a mad 2025 and really just a mad June but I can't wait. I'm ready for fatherhood. My best mate's not long had his, a beautiful little girl as well. "So being able to watch her grow and knowing that's coming for me has made me a big softie to be honest. "It's going to be something special and I'm really looking forward to it.' CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Despite Wardley admitting he will transform into a "big softie" he also expects to switch from dotting dad to destructive puncher at ease. He said: 'I think I will be able to do both. It will be double bubble for me. Fabio Wardley faces off with Justis Huni ahead of his homecoming fight 'What I mean is that when I'm at home with her and my family I will be as soft as anything but once it's training time, fight time, I'll do the opposite. 'I believe it will make me even more determined, even more driven, even more relentless because now they're relying on me. "That little girl will be relying on and depending on me. I need to go out and do my job.' Wardley, 30, is coming off a brutal knockout win over Frazer Clarke, 33, last October which followed after their thrilling draw six months prior. He was due to fight Jarrell Miller but the controversial American - who failed three high-profile drug tests in the past - pulled out through injury. So unbeaten Aussie Huni, 26, replaced Miller, 36, on short notice in a bid to upset the hometown hero. She is due a week later but it is Portman Road. It's not just any fight, it's the one at Portman Road. She said, 'Yeah I know but…' Fabio Wardley Wardley said: 'Of course it comes with pressure. But pressure is a privilege. Being here is a privilege. 'Being able to fight here is a privilege and I think I have proven throughout my career that I do well under pressure. 'I like it. When the lights are bright, when the occasion is big, it's when you get the best from me. "It's when you get the biggest amount of heart, grit, determination, the biggest amount of focus, and me firing on all cylinders. 'I'm in the best place I've been. I've got so much experience now within this professional game, from a variety of fights up and down the country. "I've fought over in Riyadh. I've fought over in Gibraltar. I've fought in the UK, London, Sheffield, here, there, everywhere. 'Small Hall, York Hall. I've mixed it all. I've done it all now. Now it's about bringing all that experience into one fight and that's what will happen on June 7. 'Only then will it be time to go back home to become a dad.'

I paid £70 for rare painting worth £8,000 at car boot sale – my three must-follow tips to find gems
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ANTIQUES lover Sally-Ann Cathcart can often be seen hunting for treasures at car boot sales - but one find has left her quids in. The 50-year-old antiques dealer from North Shropshire paid just £70 for a pair of paintings - and she's now been told they could sell for £8,000 at auction. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Sally-Ann Cathcart picked up these Percy Shakespeare paintings for £70 - but they've been valued at £8,000 Credit: Sally-Ann Cathcart 4 Another of Sally-Ann's finds is a vintage barometer from the 1700s Credit: Sally-Ann Cathcart 4 The antiques dealer also owns this photograph of a World War One soldier Credit: Sally-Ann Cathcart 4 The 50-year-old says she buys everything secondhand - including her clothes and homewares Credit: Sally-Ann Cathcart She was on one of her regular car boot sale trips in Bridgnorth when she spotted the paintings and immediately she knew she'd stumbled across something incredibly special. That's because the ultra-rare paintings were the work of one of the UK's most famous artists, Percy Shakespeare - and they were going for a bargain price. 'My eyes lit up when I saw them,' she told The Sun. 'I literally had that little heart flutter. I knew instantly what they were.' Sally-Ann said the man who sold her the paintings was a regular at car boot sales but 'clearly didn't know the value' of the art. The seller had got hold of the paintings while doing a house clearance for a lady. Unbelievably, they had been sat at the bottom of a trunk underneath a pile of old newspapers and magazines. The 1928 watercolour paintings show two children - a young boy and a girl - and Sally-Ann believes they may have been the children of the lady who owned the trunk. The paintings hadn't been in a frame or come with a plastic covering but Sally-Ann said they were in incredible condition as they had been kept inside the trunk for so long. She says she snapped them up immediately, and still has them 10 years on. Sally-Ann is a huge fan of Percy Shakespeare and is planning to keep hold of the paintings because she loves them so much. Antiques Roadshow guest is stunned by huge value of charity shop earrings bought for £5 But it was only recently that she decided to get them valued - and she was given a huge shock. An expert told her she could likely get £8,000 for the paintings if she took them to auction. 'I just have a second of thinking, 'have I heard you correctly?',' she said. 'I wanted to punch the air.' Other pieces of art from Percy Shakespeare that have gone to auction have sold for 10 times their estimated value, Sally-Ann says. If that came true for her, she could net herself a whopping £80,000 - although of course you never know what someone will pay at auction. The money might be tempting, but Sally-Ann says she plans to keep the paintings. 'I would only sell them if I absolutely really needed to because I just want to treasure them,' she says. The antiques dealer might be planning to keep hold of this rare find, but she's also made a small business out of buying and selling treasures from car boot sales and vintage fairs. Some of her clients include Cath Kidston, the National Trust and Pinewood Studios. 'Pinewood Studios is always fascinating because it could be like 'right we're doing a 1950s film and we need a petrol blue car'. 'Sometimes I'll be like, yeah, actually funnily enough, I've got one in the garage. Is this any good to you?' She's even sent an order to St James's Palace, where Princess Anne and Princess Beatrice live. Sally-Ann started out collecting antiques as a child when her grandma used to take her to Birmingham rag markets. 'I guess I've grown up with that old-fashioned rooting through, finding the best bargains,' she said. She bought her first antique - a 1920s art deco wallet - at around seven years old. 'I've always felt very comfortable in old places, old buildings,' she says. 'I love that whole old-fashioned mentality of let's make do and mend, which I think is perhaps coming back into fashion now. And then I've built a business out of it.' Now she'll often get requests from clients who ask her to search for specific items and she'll go on a hunt for them. Sally-Ann says she might for example be able to pick up a mirror for £5 and then sell it on for £120 to £150. Other memorable finds SALLY-ANN says she buys everything secondhand and her best finds end up staying with her. These are the ones she treasures the most… Vintage barometer The antiques dealer owns one of the oldest barometers produced by optician James Aitchison, who later went on to form optician chain Dollond & Aitchison in 1750. Sally-Ann says she picked up the antique for just £2 at a car boot sale last year. Photo album Another find is a photo album from the 1900s, which she snapped up for just £1. Sally-Ann says the photos inside show holidays and some sort of boating event. Photo of a World War One soldier Sally-Ann also picks out a photograph of a soldier from World War One. 'He looks about 16, and it's a beautiful French photograph of him,' she says. 'It hangs in my house and it has done for about 25 years.' Sally-Ann's top tips for finding valuable antiques The antiques dealer says she's developed an eye for something valuable over the years, but it's always worth going along to a car boot sale and seeing what you can find. 'The key things for car boots are take plenty of change, take comfortable shoes, take lots of bags, get there early,' she says. But her biggest tip is to remember your manners when talking to sellers. 'People will expect you to haggle at a car boot. So, if somebody says the item is £2, it is absolutely fine to say, 'would you take £1, please? 'And if they say, no, I wouldn't, no problem, you just decide whether you want to pay the £2 or not.' Sally-Ann says that around 70% of the time sellers will take the lower price, so you shouldn't be afraid to haggle but 'just do it with politeness and courtesy'. Sally-Ann says she's seen people throwing items back down onto the seller's table after not getting a lower price - and that's not the way to go. Another of her tips is that if we see something you like, you shouldn't wait around. 'Because if you leave it, I promise you, when you go back it will be gone,' she says. Sally-Ann says it's easy to start buying and selling antiques. 'You haven't got to invest thousands of pounds. You can take £20 or even £10 in cash this weekend, go to the car boot sale and just see what you can get.'
