Formula 1- Yesterday was a very good day for Nico Hulkenburg who scored his 1st ever pole postion and Williams first pole since Europe 2005 where Nick Heidfeld got pole postion. But this has been overshadowed by 2009 World Champion, Jenson Button who was ambushed by 6 armed gunman driving back from the Sao Paulo Circuit, thankly the driver drove away and everyone is OK but is will obviously have shaken Jenson. The question is should this happen in to a famous F1 driver and what will the FIA do about this? Back to qualifying it is the first all-German front row as Vettel is second since Japan 2004 where the Schumacher brothers were on the front row.
Football- Sir Alex Ferguson celebrated his 24th year as Manchester United manager with a narrow 2-1 win over Mick McCarthy's Wolves. Park Ji-Sung scored two goals and one in the third minute of added time as Man Utd are famous for winning goals in the last dying minutes. Tottenham's dream week was crushed by a 4-2 defeat over Bolton from beating the Champion's League Champions, Inter Milan to losing to Bolton but Bolton did play well they were 3-0 up when Tottenham scored twice to set up an tense end but Petrov scored in the last dying minute to put Tottenham's hopes to bed.
Horse Racing- The Breeders Cup Classic was the first defeat for the great mare Zenyatta who lost by a head from ironically a horse called Blame. Zenyatta was sired by 2002 Dubai World Cup winner, Street Cry. But she'll be known as one of the greatest fillies of all time.
Another filly, Goldikoia who won the Breeders Cup Mile for the third year in a row it is the first time that any horse has won the same Breeders Cup race two years in arow.
In British Horse Racing, return of a chasing legend, Kauto Star who won Down Royal's Champion Chase quite comfortably, his trainer Paul Nicholls will definitely let him go for an amazing fifth King George VI Chase in a row this would be an great achievement. Only Desert Orchid the great grey has won four like Kauto has. However Kauto Star's jockey, Ruby Walsh has sadly broken his leg in a horrible fall at Down Royal after two wins on the trot it came down with an sicking blow after recovering from shattering his arm at Aintree in April after a fall from Celestral Halo. He will definitely miss out on the chance to win the King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day.
The winner of the Flat Racing Jockey Championship went to Paul Hanghan who was an 66-1 outsider to win. won by 2 races from his great rival, Richard Hughes 191-189 it was an thrilling end to a great Flat season.
