‘We've never seen this before' – ITV Racing presenters stunned by 'embarrassing' flag start at Goodwood races

But it was the thunder and lightning overhead that sparked a very unusual start to the 1m2f contest for fillies. In Flat races, horses always break from the starting stalls. But the dangerous weather meant they couldn't use them here, with a flag start - like the ones seen in jumps racing - having to be employed. The ITV hosts including Ed Chamberlin and Sun Racing's Matt Chapman said they had never seen a flag start used for a Group 1 - the top-tier level of races. It didn't stop winner Whirl, though, who thrived in the mud for winning trainer Aidan O'Brien and drenched jockey Ryan Moore. But even the globetrotting rider said he had never raced in a Group 1 from a flag start before. There was nothing in the stewards' report about the rarely seen move but Chamberlin declared on the main channel: "We've never seen this before." Officials were given no choice but to resort to the flag given the weather. But punters thought the race - which saw Whirl win over £340,000 for her owners Coolmore - should have been delayed to ensure a proper start. One viewer wrote on X: "A flag start in a Group 1 is absolutely embarrassing. Unacceptable. "Delay or abandon. You can't start Group 1 races that affect the breed like it's a 3-mile chase at Haydock."

Botafogo beat RB Bragantino, edge closer to Copa do Brasil quarter-finals 🇧🇷
At the Nilton Santos Stadium, Botafogo defeated RB Bragantino 2 x 0, this Tuesday (29), in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil 2025. The match was totally dominated by the current champions of the Brasileirão and America. The Paulistas, in fact, only threatened at the beginning of the match, with a cross shot from Sasha saved by John. Afterwards, it was all Botafogo, who opened the scoring with Montoro, first completing the low cross from Vitinha, from the right. The Glorious did not slow down, gave a lot of work to goalkeeper Cleiton, and scored the second goal still in the first half. Now, in a counter-attack pulled from the left side, Cuiabano crossed perfectly for defender Alexander Barboza, like a well-positioned center forward in the opponent's area, to head into the back of the net. After the break, Botafogo still had good chances to further increase the advantage.🚦 What's next With the victory, Botafogo can even lose by one goal, next Wednesday (6), at the Cícero de Souza Marques Stadium, and still advance to the quarterfinals. RB Bragantino needs to win by three goals difference to guarantee qualification. In case of a win by two goals, the spot will be decided on penalties. Massa Bruta returns to the field next Sunday (3), when they visit Atlético-MG, at the MRV Arena, for the 18th round of the Brasileirão, while the Glorious hosts Cruzeiro, at the Nilton Santos Stadium, for the national championship.

GloRilla turns mugshot into merch at ‘1st Annual Glo Bash' event
Rising Memphis rapper GloRilla has embraced controversy and turned it into a bold branding move. At tonight's long-awaited GloRilla & Friends: 1st Annual Glo Bash—held in her hometown of Memphis—she is selling T‑shirts featuring her own mugshot as part of the official merchandise lineup. The merch rollout comes just days after GloRilla (born Gloria Hallelujah Woods) was arrested on July 22 in Forsyth County, Georgia, on felony drug charges. Police responding to a burglary at her residence reportedly found a large amount of marijuana and a Schedule I controlled substance in plain view. Woods, who was in Indianapolis performing at the WNBA All‑Star Game at the time, turned herself in and was released on $22,260 bond. Despite the legal battle, the show has gone on. Authorities confirmed the concert at FedExForum would proceed as planned. Fans have described the mugshot T‑shirts as "iconic," applauding the rapper's ability to reclaim the narrative in real time. This isn't the first time GloRilla has leaned into bold self-expression. The Glorious tour, which wrapped in July and featured guest stars like Muni Long and Rob49, cemented her reputation for fearless personal branding. Now, by turning her most viral downside into concert merch, she continues to blur lines between controversy and empowerment. As she headlines her first annual 'Glo Bash,' fans will no doubt be watching closely—both for the show and the statement-making fashion.
