Emma Raducanu won her semi final early this morning and now heads to tomorrows finals.. extroadinary..

David Bass was in this morning to ride out..

David fresh from showing off his flat race riding skills at Epsom yesterday in the Jump Jockeys Derby..

The woman said: “I didn’t know it was a robbery. I thought my husband had been looking for a clean shirt!”
