The time of year when events pick up pace in the horse-racing world is fast approaching. Between many exciting festivals leading up to Christmas, and the usual queue of news regarding jockeys, trainers and retirements, let’s take a look at some of the stories headed your way this October. Almanzor to Miss Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe The winner of the Irish Champions Stakes, Almanzor, has been removed from this coming Sunday’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, which is scheduled...

Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter - Sports Editor @TLE_Sport  @davidjdewinter I watched England labour to a fairly fortunate draw in Slovenia last night in what, before the match at least, felt like a new beginning for the national side.  Captain Wayne Rooney was dropped to the bench after an inauspicious start to the season for both club and country.  This was heralded as a watershed moment for England (mostly by the media), ushering in a new era of...

Sport News 24/7 It’s not every season that Leeds United reach the second international break of the season with the same manager in situ as started the season.

Infamous boxer Tyson Fury has announced his retirement in a rage-fuelled tweet. The heavyweight champion lost his cool on the social media platform after a dramatic few weeks in which he pulled out of the Wladimir Klitschko rematch because of mental health problems and tested positive for cocaine in a random drugs test. Fury, who holds the WBA and WBO world titles, had recently posted a cryptic tweet after reports about him testing positive for cocaine were leaked. The self-proclaimed Gypsy King...

Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter - Sports Editor @davidjdewinter  @TLE_Sport Six games, five defeats, 16 goals conceded – not quite the start to the season West Ham fans had in mind, especially given last term’s impressive seventh-place finish.  After leaving their beloved Boleyn Ground in order to become tenants at the Olympic Stadium in a controversial move, the Hammers are finding tougher than expected to adapt to their new surroundings.  So is it just a case of being...
