Midday strikes again for Nassau hat-trick 31 Jul 2011
The Independent Admiration of females is, this weekend, quite rightly confined to the ones that matter most on any racetrack - the ones that put in the sweat and miles between the running rails, not those who prance and preen without. Here yesterday the five-year-old Midday won an unprecedented third Nassau Stakes,...

The Independent Rarely can a round of golf between two professionals have produced a greater sense of irony than the one that teed off late yesterday morning in the Irish Open at Killarney. It featured the 22-year-old Rory McIlroy, the recent winner of the US Open who - now that he has won his first golfing major -...
The Independent The word I must use more frequently than any other in this column is "still" and, for variation, assorted declensions of the verb "remain".
