While the dismal ending to the previous season, combined with losses in their opening two matches lead to fears that Sunderland might spend the season battling a second successive relegation, a run of 7 wins from their next 10 matches quickly ended any such fears. A couple of spells of indifferent form meant that the club didn't convincingly challenge for automatic promotion until the closing stages of the season, and then another poor run of form in the season's closing stages, including the loss of a six-pointer to fellow promotion hopefuls West Bromwich Albion, just as quickly ended any such hopes. Sunderland were still considered favourites going into the play-offs, but a loss on penalties to Crystal Palace, who had gate-crashed the play-offs on the final day of the season, meant a second season in Division One (or, as it would be re-branded the following season, the Championship).

O'Brien said: "he jumped a bit slowly and I could see a couple of horses going forward. I knew we weren't going to go much of a gallop, so I gave mine a kick just to get up there. I knew if I didn't hit him until a furlong and a half out he would win".
She increased her lead in the closing stages to win by 1 3/4 lengths from Architecture, with eight lengths back to Harlequeen in third.

Terms of the match were to allow Zev to come upsides the Derby champion. Donoghue did, but Zev soon kicked on and Papyrus was unable to make any impression in the closing stages.
The closing stages of the race where extremely rough, with several horses being badly hampered, but Zafeen avoided most of the trouble. The Independent's Richard Edmondson likened Zafeen to a man who had emerged from the toilet in the aftermath of a bar-room brawl and picked his way through the wreckage. A "hyperventilating" Channon said "When he kicked I knew it would take a bloody good horse to beat him. I love winning anywhere but this is a bit special".
He came back at the Tour of Norway, where he finished eighth overall while taking two stage successes. Shortly after, he participated in the Tour des Fjords where he dominated the sprints again by amassing three stage victories, the points classification jersey and a ninth overall position. He also won the seventh stage of the Tour de Suisse ahead of Peter Sagan. Sagan got out of Kristoff's slipstream to try to out-sprint him in the closing stages, but to no avail.
The New One began his fourth season in the williamhill.com Hurdle at Kempton on 19 October. Conceding at least eight pounds to his six opponents he started at odds of 2/11 and won by two and a quarter lengths from Hint of Mint, with Twiston-Davies easing him down in the closing stages. On 22 November The New One started the 1/3 favorite for the Betfair Price Rush Hurdle, a newly instituted two mile hurdle race on soft ground at Haydock.
Technician's first race was a maiden over eight and a half furlongs at Nottingham Racecourse on 7 November in which he was ridden by Rob Hornby and started at odds of 6/1 in a thirteen-runner field. Racing on good to soft ground he recovered from a slow start to obtain a good racing position but was unable to accelerate in the closing stages and came home third behind Space Blues and Private Secretary beaten just over seven lengths by the winner.
Irvine finished third after overtaking Olivier Panis, exacting some measure of revenge for Panis' overtaking manoeuvre that had seen him get past Irvine a year earlier. After losing third place to Irvine, Panis backed off in the closing stages and settled for fourth place. Mika Salo finished fifth despite denting his front wing on debris left from Häkkinen's accident early on, and also despite not making a single pit stop during the race. This was the last race the feat was achieved.
The Ferrari cars of Berger and Alesi were fourth and fifth respectively, but off the pace as Schumacher lapped them both in the closing stages. Berger suffered from a misfiring engine throughout the race. Herbert took the final point in sixth place for Benetton, ahead of Frentzen, Panis and Blundell. Throughout the race, Barrichello and Magnussen engaged in a battle for tenth and eleventh positions, with Magnussen keeping Barrichello behind until lap 37 when the Brazilian managed to overtake him into the hairpin.
Timeform expressed the view that the stewards may have influenced by Marinsky's previous bad behaviour. Gentilhombre was scheduled to make his next appearance in the William Hill Sprint Championship, but missed the race after a training setback. Gentilhombre returned in September for the Diadem Stakes at Ascot. Starting at odds of 7/4, he took the lead soon after the start and drew away in the closing stages to win by three lengths from the three-year-olds Scarcely Blessed and Mandrake Major.
The Soviet Army committed crimes against the Japanese civilian populations and surrendered military personnel in the closing stages of World War II during the assaults on Sakhalin and Kuril Islands. On August 10, 1945, Soviet forces carried out fierce naval bombardment and artillery strikes against civilians awaiting evacuation as well as Japanese installations in Maoka. Nearly 1,000 civilians were killed by the invading forces. During the evacuation of the Kuriles and Karafuto, civilian convoys were attacked by Soviet submarines in the Aniva Gulf.
When he emerged from his stop he was down in 4th and over 50 seconds off the lead. Schumacher and Fisichella were among the last drivers to switch to dry tyres, pitting on laps 40 and 41 respectively. Fisichella emerged from his stop still ahead of Schumacher, but struggling with his cold tyres ran wide at the first corner, allowing Schumacher through into the lead. Alonso had now rediscovered his pace and charged in the closing stages, setting fastest lap after fastest lap.
Egypt substitute Kahraba fired straight at Al-Mosailem late on. Salem Al-Dawsari finished a right-footed volley past El Hadary in the closing stages. The second penalty shot was the latest goal scored in the first half in a world cup match since 1966 at 50 minutes and 36 seconds. The second goal, while not a record, was scored at the 95th minute (despite there being 4 minutes of extra time) to which the referee ended the match right after.
Nakatani placed the gelding just behind the leaders before taking the lead in the straight and accelerating clear in the closing stages to win by five and three quarter lengths. In January 2014, Shared Belief was named Champion Two-Year-Old Male Horse at the Eclipse Awards, beating Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner New Year's Day by 115 votes to 99. He became only the fourth 2-year-old male champion to have bypassed the Juvenile since that race was created in 1984.
As a two-year-old in Spain, Equiano ran five times in Spain winning races at San Sebastián in August and at Madrid's La Zarzuela racecourse in September. On his final appearance of the year he was sent to France to contest the Group Two Critérium de Maisons-Laffitte over 1200 metres on 2 November. He started the 25/1 outsider of the nine-runner field but kept on well in the closing stages to finish third behind the German colt Pomellato.
In the Group Three Diadem Stakes at Ascot Racecourse Dowsing started the 8/1 third favourite behind Hallgate (winner of the race in 1986) and Print PHopeful Stakes. Ridden as in most of his previous races by Pat Eddery, he tracked the leaders before moving up to challenge the pace-setter Governor General a furlong out. After a protracted struggle, Dowsing got the better of Governor General and won by a length despite flashing his tail in the closing stages.
Aggressor was not a notable success as a sire of winners. The most successful of his offspring was the filly Dibidale, who won the Irish Oaks and the Yorkshire Oaks in 1974 and was an unlucky loser of The Oaks, in which her saddle slipped in the closing stages. Aggressor's daughter Aggravate (who won the Park Hill Stakes) was exported to Walter Jacobs's Fährhof Stud (near Bremen, Germany), where she foaled among others the German champion-racehorse and leading sire Acatenango.
May Hill made her racecourse debut over six furlongs at Ascot Racecourse on 9 October in the Duke of Edinburgh Stakes (not the current race of the same name) for two-year-old colts and fillies which had not run before 22 September. Ridden by the Welsh jockey Geoff Lewis, she started a 20/1 outsider but produced an impressive burst of acceleration in the closing stages to win by a length from the colt Red Lever, who was conceding eight pounds.
Cantelo was then trained for the St Leger Stakes at Doncaster in September. The gallops at Malton were unusually hard that summer, and Elsey struggled to get the filly in top condition. He therefore decided to complete her preparation by running her in the Park Hill Stakes for fillies at Doncaster, two days before the St Leger. Cantelo appeared likely to win easily in the straight, but was caught in the closing stages and was beaten by the 33/1 outsider Collyria.
He fought of several challenges in the closing stages and won by a head and a neck from Risk Me and Genghiz, with Mansooj half a length away in fourth. On his final appearance of the year, Mister Majestic was stepped up in distance for the Dewhurst Stakes over seven furlong at the same course two weeks later. He led for most of the way but faded in the final furlong to finish fourth behind Ajdal, Shady Heights and Genghiz.
Four seconds behind, Vichot finished in eighth place in a sprint of over 20 riders. Another victory occurred in the middle of September with Roux taking the honours in the Tour de la Somme, prior to leaving for the UCI Road World Championships in Denmark. Bouhanni finished fifth, after being helped towards the front by Roux, before he attacked in the closing stages of the race. The same day, Hutarovich earned another top-five placing, by finishing fifth in the Kampioenschap van Vlaanderen.
Also in the field was Brigadier Gerard, undefeated in four races including the Middle Park Stakes. Mill Reef started favourite at 6/4, with My Swallow on 2/1 and Brigadier Gerard on 11/2. My Swallow led from the start before being challenged by Mill Reef a quarter of a mile from the finish and the two colts raced side by side throughout the closing stages. Neither of them, however, had any response when Brigadier Gerard challenged along the rail.
Adkins, p. 31 Nelson subsequently ignored Jefferson's instructions to remain inactive, returning to the quarterdeck shortly before the explosion on Orient to oversee the closing stages of the battle. Although Thévenard's manoeuvre was successful, it placed his own bow under Minotaurs guns and by 21:25 the French ship was dismasted and battered, Captain Thévenard killed and his junior officers forced to surrender.James, p. 168 With his opponent defeated, Captain Thomas Louis then took Minotaur south to join the attack on Franklin.
After a break of four and a half months A Shin Hikari returned in the autumn edition of the Tenno Sho on 30 October. He led the field into the straight but weakened in the closing stages to finish eighth behind Maurice. In December he attempted to repeat his 2015 success in the Hong Kong Cup and started the 7.6/1 third favourite. After misbehaving before the start he took the lead and opened up an advantage of several lengths.
Sixties Icon began his racing career by finishing sixth of the twelve runners in maiden race at Newmarket in April 2006. Three weeks late he started 6/4 favourite for a similar event at Windsor and won by three-quarters of a length from Fleeting Memory. Sixties Icon was then sent to Epsom to contest the Epsom Derby. Starting a 66/1 outsider he stayed on in the closing stages to finish seventh, five and a half lengths behind Sir Percy.
Dee Majesty, Leontes, Air Spinel and Satono Diamond were again in opposition in a race run over 2400 metres on firm ground. With Kawada again in the saddle, he raced towards the middle of the field before making progress approaching the final turn but looked unlikely to obtain a clear run in the straight. Kawada sent Makahishi through a narrow gap 300 metres from the finish, took the lead in the closing stages and won by a nose from Satono Diamond.
Dream Ahead failed to appear in the early part of 2011, with connections explaining that the colt was unsuited by the prevailing firm ground. He made his first appearance of the year at Royal Ascot in the St James's Palace Stakes. The field included Frankel, who had gone on to win the 2000 Guineas and started the odds-on favourite. Dream Ahead was never in serious contention and finished fifth of the nine runners, having been eased by Buick in the closing stages.
Dream Ahead started favourite for the Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville four weeks later, but made no impression in the closing stages and finished unplaced behind Moonlight Cloud. In September, Dream Ahead started 4/1 favourite for the Sprint Cup at Haydock Park Racecourse. He raced prominently before Buick sent him into the lead two furlongs from the finish. In a "thrilling" three-way finish he prevailed by a nose from Bated Breath with Hoof It a short head back in third.
The was an infantry division in the Imperial Japanese Army. Its tsūshōgō code name was the , and its military symbol was 16D. The 16th Division was one of four new infantry divisions raised by the Imperial Japanese Army in the closing stages of the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905). With Japan's limited resources towards the end of that conflict, the entire IJA was committed to combat in Manchuria, leaving not a single division to guard the Japanese home islands from attack.
Boasson Hagen was selected in the Sky squad for the Tour de France. He finished fifth in the opening prologue in Liège, then took third on stage one, after bridging across to Peter Sagan and Cancellara in the closing stages, but being unable to beat them both in the sprint. He also finished second to Sagan on stage three, another hilltop finish. At the end of August, Boasson Hagen took the victory in the one day World Tour race the GP Ouest-France.
Dylan Thomas made his first racecourse appearance in a maiden race at Tipperary on 30 June. Ridden by Kieren Fallon, he started even money favourite and won by a length from Galantas. He was off the racecourse until 10 September when he ran in the Irish Breeders' Foal Levy Stakes at Leopardstown. He took the lead two furlongs from the finish and won by three quarters of a length from Royal Power despite hanging badly to the right in the closing stages.
Boudot continued his association with Persian King in 2019, partnering the colt in all of his three starts. Before the start of the season, a majority share in the horse was acquired by Godolphin. The colt began his campaign in the Group 3 Prix de Fontainebleau over 1600 metres at Longchamp Racecourse on 14 April. Starting the 1/5 favourite Persian King took the lead soon after the start and was never challenged, drawing away in the closing stages to win by five lengths from Epic Hero.
The Princess Margaret Stakes winner Seebe started favourite while the other seven runners included Carmine Lake, the winner of the Molecomb Stakes. Bianca Nera took the lead at half way and kept on well in the closing stages to win by a neck and half a length from Arethusa and Seebe. After the race David Loder said "This makes up for a lot of the frustrations earlier in the year. I'm just now beginning to run most of the two-year-olds as they've been sick".
Lethal Force ran four times as a two-year-old without winning. He began his career by finishing in a five furlong maiden race at Ascot Racecourse in May, when he finished second as a 33/1 outsider. Later in the month he started favourite for a similar event at Goodwood but finished second, a short head behind Sir Glanton. He had hung to the right and then to the left in the closing stages, and after a stewards' enquiry he was demoted to third place.
After racing in second place, Dashing Blade took the lead 800 metres from the finish and won by three lengths from the André Fabre- trained Verre Bleu. Two weeks after his win in France, Dashing Blade was sent to Germany Bayerisches Zuchtrennen in Munich. He stayed on strongly in the closing stages but was beaten a length by the locally trained four-year-old Turfkonig. Ray Cochrane took over from Matthias when the colt returned to England for the International Stakes at York Racecourse on 21 August.
On 26 May at Epsom Minuet stepped up in distance for the Oaks Stakes over one and a half miles. She was again matched against the Selim filly and the two started 3/1 joint favourites in a field of twelve. Ridden by Tom Goodisson, Grafton's filly raced in third place as S. Barnett set a very strong pace on Mr Craven's Nadejda. Minuet took the lead in the closing stages and won "cleverly" from Lord George Cavendish's filly Mouse, with Nadejda in third place.
Bob's Return stayed on strongly in the straight to win by three and a half lengths from Armiger. On his final race of the season, Bob's Return was dropped back in distance to contest the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp. He briefly led the field in the straight but was outpaced in the closing stages and finished sixth, beaten four lengths behind the winner Urban Sea. Bob's Return was the highest rated European three-year-old at distances of fourteen furlongs and above.
His opponents included Dream Well and Croco Rouge, first and second in the Prix du Jockey Club and the Derby Italiano winner Central Park. Ridden by Olivier Peslier, Sagamix took the lead in the closing stages and won by one and a half lengths from Croco Rouge. In the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp on 4 October, Sagamix started 5/2 favourite in a field of fourteen runners. Peslier held the colt up in the earlier stages before making his challenge in the straight.
On the turn into the straight Ruby opened up a lead of several lengths but Turquoise, "most judiciously" ridden by John Barham Day, overtook her in the closing stages and won by two lengths. The Sporting Magazine was not impressed, describing Turquoise as an indifferent filly who had beaten "a wretched lot". On her next appearance, Turquoise ran in the Town Purse at the Newmarket July meeting. Ridden by Frank Buckle Jr., she started the 6/4 favourite and won by six lengths from Flush.
The top ten was completed by Sandro Cortese, Hafizh Syahrin, Simone Corsi and Xavier Siméon. Axel Pons came eleventh after coming close to passing Siméon on the final lap with Mika Kallio twelfth. Thirteenth- placed and Sam Lowes struggled with grip in the race's closing stages which lost him five seconds per lap, and Ricard Cardús and Franco Morbidelli were the final two points scorers. Álex Márquez and Marcel Schrötter were the other retirements of the race due to separate crashes within the first nine laps.
Tetratema dropped back soon after half way and Abbot's Trace led into the straight as Spion Kop made rapid progress from the rear. Spion Kop took the lead three furlongs from the finish and ran on strongly up the straight to win by two lengths from Archaic and Orpheus in a new race record time of 2:34.8. The most dramatic incident of the race occurred in the closing stages when Abbot's Trace was brought down in a collision with Sarchedon, who finished fourth.
He started the 7/2 second favourite but after reaching fourth place in the straight, he weakened in the closing stages and finished eighth of the nine runners behind Mukhadram. In September, the colt was sent to France to contest the Prix du Moulin over 1600 metres at Longchamp Racecourse. Ridden by Ryan Moore, he started slowly and raced at the back of the field before making progress in the straight. He finished third, beaten a head and a neck by Charm Spirit and the favourite, Toronado.
He made his belated seasonal reappearance at Newmarket on 27 September, when he ran in the £10,000 Jockey Club Stakes. Although Ladas was reported to be running with only two sound legs, he was his owner's first choice ahead of his 1895 Derby winner, Sir Visto. Carrying top weight of 142 pounds, he raced in third place for most of the way but weakened in the closing stages. He finished fourth of the eleven runners behind horses named Laveno, None The Wiser and Venia.
Rock Sand disputed the lead with Oriole in the early stages but was challenged and overtaken by Ard Patrick before the turn into the straight. He faded in the closing stages and finished third, beaten a neck and three lengths by Ard Patrick and Sceptre who fought out a "desperate finish". The contest was favourably compared to the race for the 1887 Hardwicke Stakes between Ormonde, Minting and Bendigo. On 9 September at Doncaster, Rock Sand attempted to complete the Triple Crown in the St Leger.
Dettori eased the filly down in the closing stages, losing third place on the line, and receiving a suspension from riding as result. In July Blue Bunting started second favourite for the Irish Oaks at the Curragh. She was not among the leaders until the final furlong, but then made rapid progress on the outside to catch Banimpire in the last strides and won by a short head. A month later, she raced against older fillies and mares for the first time in the Yorkshire Oaks.
In this race she tracked the colt Ruperra and the two pulled clear of the other runners in the closing stages, but when Archer attempted to send the filly past her rival she began to struggle and was beaten by a length. Wheel of Fortune returned from the race lame and after showing signs of improvement she pulled up lame again after exercise the following week. On 6 September she was scratched (withdrawn) from the St Leger which was won in her absence by Rayon d'Or.
Ramonti was then moved up in class and distance for the Group One Derby Italiano at the Capannelle on 22 May. Despite racing over a distance 800m further than he had previously attempted, he was made favourite at odds of 1/2 against fourteen opponents. Botti sent Ramonti to the front from the start and he continued to lead into the straight. In the last 200m however, he appeared to tire and was caught in the closing stages and beaten a head by De Sica.
Rockhampton set the pace as expected from Frozen Fire and Golden Sword, with Conduit towards the rear of the field in the early stages. Golden Sword took the lead on the turn into the straight but the three Stoute runners immediately moved up to challenge. Tartan Bearer gained a slight advantage a furlong from the finish but was quickly overtaken by, Conduit racing on the outside. In the closing stages Conduit drifted to the right, hampering Tartan Bearer before winning by one and three-quarter lengths.
Confront set a strong pace from Workforce and Cape Blanco, with Harbinger in fourth. When the pacemaker weakened early in the straight Cape Blanco briefly took the lead as Workforce began to struggle, but Peslier produced Harbinger with a strong run on the outside to gain the advantage approaching the final furlong. In the closing stages Harbinger drew away from his opponents to win by eleven lengths in a time of 2:26.78. Both the winning margin and the winning time established new records for the race.
Despite his inconsistent form, Jodami started 6/4 favourite for the 1994 Cheltenham Gold Cup on 17 March. Dwyer employed tactics similar to those employed in 1993, but despite finishing strongly Jodami was unable to catch The Fellow and finished second, beaten one and a half lengths. Dwyer admitted that he was beaten by a better horse on the day, commenting that he was "fighting a losing battle" in the closing stages. Jodami again ran disappointingly in the early part of the following season.
In January, he conceded weight to his five rivals in the Peter Marsh Chase and won by a neck from Unguided Missile, a victory which saw him made favourite for the Grand National. A month later he contested the Hennessy Gold Cup for the fourth and last time. Ridden by Norman Williamson, he finished second, three lengths behind Danoli and twenty ahead of Imperial Call in third. The performance was achieved despite the fact that Jodami broke down in the closing stages and finished lame.
His opponents were Master Willie, Tyrnavos, Dukedom (White Rose Stakes), Water Mill, World Leader and Count Fernando. In a slowly-run race he appeared to be struggling half a mile from the finish but moved up to challenge for the lead approaching the final furlong. In the closing stages he got the better of a keen struggle with Master Willie to win by a neck. At Epsom Downs Racecourse in June, Hello Gorgeous was one of twenty-four colts to contest the 201st running of The Derby.
Once again, his behaviour caused problems as he delayed the race for several minutes by refusing to leave the paddock. On this occasion however, he was unable to reproduce his best form, and after racing prominently for part of the way, he dropped out in the closing stages and finished unplaced behind Disguise. After the St Leger, Diamond Jubilee was described as "the undoubted champion of England". Although he was admired for his "bulldog courage" he was considered clearly inferior to his brother Persimmon.
In September 1860, during the closing stages of the Second Opium War, the British diplomatic envoy Harry Parkes was arrested along with other hostages, who were tortured and executed. In retaliation, British and French troops under the command of Lord Elgin attacked Beijing, and by the following month they had burned the Old Summer Palace to the ground. The Xianfeng Emperor and his entourage, including Cixi, fled Beijing to Rehe Province (around present-day Chengde, Hebei).Immanual Hsu (1985), The Rise of Modern China (pg. 215).
Ascot Racecourse was closed for redevelopment work for most of 2007, and the Royal Meeting was transferred to York. Red Clubs was aimed at the Group Two Coventry Stakes on the opening day and was sent off at odds of 11/2. Michael Hills had the colt in a prominent position throughout before moving into the lead a furlong out. Red Clubs ran on well in the closing stages to win his third successive race by one and three-quarter lengths from Pacific Pride.
In late September, Red Clubs ran in the Group Two Diadem Stakes at the newly reopened Ascot Racecourse. It was well-contested race with the runners including the Group One winners Somnus and Fayr Jag and Red Clubs started 6/1. He raced prominently before showing a "smart turn of foot" to take the lead in the final furlong and going clear. Although he swerved "violently" to the left in the closing stages, he was able to win by one and a quarter lengths from Baltic King.
Ridden again by Piggott, she was made the 6/4 favourite ahead of the previous year's champion filly Marwell. Piggott sent the filly into the lead from the start and set a reasonable pace, without ever breaking clear of her rivals. In the closing stages several challengers emerged but Fairy Footsteps ran on strongly and held on to win by a neck from Tolmi, with Go Leasing, Marwell and Madam Gay close behind. The win gave Piggott a twenty-fourth win in a classic.
He led from the start and was never challenged, pulling away in the closing stages to win by three and a half lengths. Tamarisk was unbeaten in three races and was well fancied for the Group One Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket in October. for which he was supplemented for a fee of £18,000. He was sent into the lead and proved the best of the English-trained colts but was no match for the "impressive" French colt Xaar, and finished second, beaten seven lengths.
A minute later he netted his second goal after a solo-run down the left wing. After a Vivian Cobbe point steadied Limerick, Ring netted his third goal for a 5-5 to 3-5 victory and he won a ninth winners' medal. For the second time in three years, Cork faced Wexford in the All-Ireland final on 23 September 1956. The game reached a climax in the closing stages as Cork were two points down and Ring tried to salvage a victory.
Gibson scored in Clyde's derby victory over Partick Thistle on the opening day of the 2004-05 season, but was shown a red card in the closing stages. Gibson surprised many fans when he opted to jump down a division to join recently relegated Partick Thistle in June 2005. Gibson was captain of Thistle under manager Dick Campbell. On 11 June 2007 he signed a two-year contract after negotiations with manager Ian McCall, however, this contract was cancelled by mutual consent in January 2008.
He stayed on in the closing stages to finish third behind Leading Light and The Oaks winner Talent. After his third classic placing, Galileo Rock was described as "one of the great nearly horses of this season" by Marcus Armytage. Galileo Rock was scheduled to end his season in the Hong Kong Vase in December, but was withdrawn after sustaining a leg injury on the eve of the race. In January 2014 it was reported that Galileo Rock had sustained a fatal injury in a training accident.
Pebbles returned in the Champion Stakes at Newmarket in October. She raced over ten furlongs, the longest distance she had attempted and also competed against colts and older horses for the first time. Pebbles looked calmer than usual before the race and settled well towards the back of the field. In the closing stages she was switched to the outside and accelerated into contention before finishing second by a neck to the French-trained colt Palace Music who won in a course record time.
In early 1987, Reference Point's training was disrupted by sinus problems, which required surgery, ruling out any possibility of a challenge for the 2000 Guineas. On his three-year-old debut, Reference Point ran in the Dante Stakes at York, a recognised trial race for the Epsom Derby. Reference Point led from the start and ran on strongly in the closing stages to win by a length from Ascot Knight. At Epsom, Reference Point started 6/4 favourite in a field of nineteen runners.
Ultimately 8-7 to Part who said afterwards that he felt Andy Jenkins had control of the match and that he was "pretty lucky" to get through to the final. Steve Beaton shot out of the starting blocks against "The Tripod" Roland Scholten going 3-0 up. However where in the past the Dutchman had caved in during the closing stages of a tournament, this time it was a different Roland Scholten. Beaton only took one more leg in the match which went 8-4 to Scholten.
Racing on softer ground in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot in July, Doyoun weakened in the closing stages and finished sixth of the ten runners behind Mtoto. The colt reverted to a mile in August and finished third behind the four-year-old Prince Rupert in the Waterford Crystal Mile at Goodwood. On his final appearance, Doyoun ran over ten furlongs in the Champion Stakes at Newmarket in October, and finished third to the filly Indian Skimmer, beaten seven lengths.
After a break, Dancing Brave returned in the Select Stakes at Goodwood Racecourse in September. He tracked the leaders before pulling away in the closing stages to win by ten lengths. On his final European appearance, Dancing Brave was sent overseas for the first time to contest the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp in Paris. Apart from Shardari, Shahrastani and Triptych, the field also included the German champion Acatenango and the French colt Bering, who was unbeaten in four races in 1986.
On his final appearance of the season, the gelding was moved up in class for the Grade II Champion Standard Open NH Flat Race at Aintree Racecourse in April. Starting at odds of 5/1, he took the lead approaching the final furlong but was overtaken in the closing stages and beaten by the four-year-old The New One, to whom he was conceding six pounds. At the end of the season, My Tent Or Yours was bought privately by J. P. McManus.
Oasis Dream made his debut in a six furlong maiden race at Salisbury in August 2002. He started favourite but ran disappointingly, finishing a well beaten fifth of the eleven runners. Two weeks later in a similar event at Sandown he was the beaten favourite again, leading early but fading in the closing stages to finish second, beaten three and a half lengths by Rimrod. Three weeks after his second defeat, Oasis Dream recorded his first win, "easily" beating four rivals in a maiden at Nottingham.
He ran prominently but was unable to catch the Australian horse Choisir and lost second place in the closing stages to Acclamation. Four days later, Choisir won the Golden Jubilee Stakes. At Newmarket a month later Oasis Dream was matched against Choisir for a second time in the July Cup, this time over six furlongs. Oasis Dream tracked Choisir in the early stages before catching the Australian a furlong out and running on to win a "protracted battle" by one and a half lengths.
Its performers included Italian composer and musician Nicola Piovani, Italian ballet dancer Roberto Bolle, Israeli singer Noa, and Charice. Then on 31 July, he performed at a concert in Vingis Park in Vilnius, Lithuania, in front of more than 18,000 people. Australian singer Tina Arena performed two duets with Bocelli – "Canto Della Terra" and "The Prayer" – at the closing stages of the concert. On 7 August 2008, he held a benefit concert at Medjugorje, Bosnia Herzegovina, and was accompanied by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra.
Dettori sent the colt into the lead soon after the start and set the pace from Highland Reel, Pleascach, Free Eagle and Found. Two furlongs from the finish Free Eagle made a forward move but as he challenged the favourite, Golden Horn veered to the right, hampering his challenger. Golden Horn kept on well in the closing stages to win by a length from Found, who stayed on to deprive Free Eagle of second. Following an inquiry by the racecourse stewards the result was allowed to stand.
On her final appearance of the season, Katies was matched against older horses and male opposition in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot Racecourse in September. Chief Singer started favourite with Katies the joint- second choice alongside the four-year-old gelding Teleprompter. She produced a strong finish but failed by a neck to overhaul Teleprompter having been slightly hampered by the winner in the closing stages. Philip Robinson lodged an objection but the result was allowed to stand by the racecourse stewards.
Thomas represented Wales at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. He won bronze in the individual time trial behind Alex Dowsett of England and Rohan Dennis of Australia. Thomas won gold in the road race after attacking Scott Thwaites and Jack Bauer on the final lap of the Glasgow city centre circuit, and built up a large enough gap to survive a scare when he had to change a wheel in the closing stages. Thomas rounded off his season with sixth overall at the Eneco Tour in August.
She won the ten furlong match very easily for a prize of 200 guineas. Four days later she ran in the Newmarket Gold Cup over the Abington Mile course and finished second of the twelve runners, finishing a head behind the four-year-old colt Harold after hanging to the left in the closing stages. On the same day, Variation collected a prize of 100 guineas without having to race, when her scheduled opponent, a filly named Carmine, failed to appear for a match over ten furlongs.
Fallon settled the filly in fourth place before taking the lead two furlongs from the finish.

The racecourse stewards concurred, and amended the result, awarding the victory to To-Agori-Mou.
With prize money of £43,000, the race was the most valuable two-year-old race ever run in Britain. The opposition was headed by Nelson Bunker Hunt's Mississipian [sic], an American- bred, French-trained colt who had won the Grand Critérium at Longchamp Racecourse. Ridden by Lester Piggott, Apalachee moved to the front two furlongs from the finish with Mississipian emerging as his only challenger. In the closing stages he pulled clear to win easily by two lengths from the French colt, with a gap of ten lengths back to Alpine Nephew in third.
The 1911 Auckland Rugby League season was the second full organised club season in Auckland following the 1910 Auckland Rugby League season. City Rovers won the title again after winning it in the competitions inaugural year. The club season commenced on 20 May, with the start of the competition for the Myers Cup. City Rovers were crowned champions after defeating Ponsonby United in the final 36–15 which was required due to both teams being within 2 points of each other as the competition entered its closing stages.
She was in contention from the start but after having every chance at the last hurdle she was unable to make progress on the heavy ground and was beaten into third place by Benie des Dieux (trained by Mullins) and the outsider Midnight Tour. Despite her defeat the mare started favourite ahead of Benie des Dieux in the Mares Champion Hurdle at Punchestown in April. She took the lead at half way, but was overtaken by her rival approaching the last and lost second place to Augusta Kate in the closing stages.
The win, the first in the race by a French-trained horse, meant that Plaisanterie had to carry an extra fourteen pounds penalty for the nine furlong Cambridgeshire two weeks later. Starting odds of 10/1 Plaisanterie disputed the lead from the start. In the closing stages she was never in danger of defeat and won "very easily" from the five- year-old Bendigo with the favourite St. Gatien finishing fifth. Plaisanterie thereby became the second of only three horses to complete the Autumn Double since the races were inaugurated in 1839.
Telescope began his 2015 season in the Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket on 2 May. Starting the odds-on favourite he went clear of the field in the last quarter mile but was worn down in the closing stages and beaten a head by the four-year-old gelding Second Step. He was dropped in class for the Listed Aston Park Stakes at Newbury two weeks later and won easily by six lengths at odds of 8/13. In June he attempted to repeat his 2014 success in the Hardwicke Stakes.
Timepiece was sent to France for the Prix Rothschild at Deauville Racecourse on 31 July and finished third behind Goldikova and Sahpresa. She was back in France three weeks later and started favourite for the Prix Jean Romanet but after taking the lead 400 metres she was overtaken in the closing stages and was beaten a short neck by the four-year-old Announce. On her final appearance of the season Timepiece made no impact in the Sun Chariot Stakes, finishing last of the eight runners behind Sahpresa.
Timepiece remained in training as a five-year-old but failed to win in five races. She finished fourth behind Izzi Top when favourite for the Dahlia Stakes and then finished eighth behind the same filly in the Middleton Stakes. She produced her best performance of the season in the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood Racecourse on 4 August when she started a 16/1 outsider in an eight-runner field. She led from the start and accelerated in the straight but was caught in the closing stages and beaten a length by The Fugue.
Moser achieved his first professional victory in February 2012, at the Trofeo Laigueglia, after making a solo bid for victory in the closing stages. He repeated that feat at May's Eschborn-Frankfurt City Loop, attacking out of a four-man lead group within the race's final kilometre. Moser won his first UCI World Tour race at the Tour de Pologne in July. During the race's first stage, Moser launched a late attack in the closing kilometre, in Jelenia Góra; he managed to hold off the rest of the field for the stage win.
In 1983 All Along finished third to Zalataia in the Grand Prix de Chantilly but then finished seventh of the nine runners when favourite for the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud. After a summer break she returned for the Prix Foy at Longchamp Racecourse. Biancone decided to change the tactics used on the filly and instructed her jockey to hold up the filly for a late run. She made up a great deal of ground in the closing stages to finish second, a length behind the British-trained filly Time Charter.
Starting at odds of 10/1 he disputed the lead until the turn into the straight, but faded in the closing stages and finished seventeenth of the nineteen runners behind Bago. Tap Dance City returned to Japan, and in December he finished second in the Arima Kinen, beaten half a length by Zenno Rob Roy, with Delta Blues, Hishi Miracle and Heart's Cry among the unplaced finishers. As an eight-year-old, Tap Dance City won the Kinko Sho for a third time but finished unplaced in his remaining four races.
On 5 October, Theia, ridden by Yves Saint-Martin, started the 3/1 favourite for France's premier race for juvenile fillies, the Critérium des Pouliches over 1600 metres at Longchamp Racecourse. She was again opposed by Antrona as well as Imogene, a Maurice Zilber-trained filly who had run second to Vitiges in the Prix Morny. Theia tracked the leaders before making a forward move in the straight. She took the lead in the closing stages and won by three-quarters of a length from Antrona, who was subsequently disqualified for causing interference.
On his final run of the season, the colt faced his previous rivals Earthlight and Threat in the Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket Racecourse on 28 September. Starting a 16/1 outsider he took the lead a furlong from the finish but was overtaken by Earthlight in the closing stages and beaten a neck into second place. In the official rating of European two- year-olds for 2019 Golden Horde was rated the seventh-best juvenile of the year behind Pinatubo, Earthlight, Kameko, Arizona, Millisle and Mums Tipple.
Mubtaker took the lead with half a mile to run but was overtaken by Doyen three furlongs form the finish. Bago took the lead two furlongs out but Kinane produced Azamour with a strong run on the outside to take the lead approaching the final furlong. Azamour stayed on well in the closing stages to win by one and a quarter lengths from the outsider Norse Dancer who finished strongly to deprive Bago of second place by a head. Warrsan, Ace and Doyen filled the next three places.
He raced prominently in the early stages, before Darley drove him into the lead a furlong out. He was strongly challenged in the closing stages but held on to win by a neck from Quito with Amadeus Wolf third. The Lancashire crowd gave the local horse an enthusiastic reception and Alston, winning the biggest race of his twenty-five-year career, was delighted, saying "The Nunthorpe was fantastic, but this is even better." Reverence then attempted to win a third successive Group One win as he was sent to Longchamp for the Prix de l'Abbaye.
He was immediately challenged, however, and overtaken inside the final furlong by both Isinglass and Bullingdon. Isinglass prevailed by a short head with Ladas, who was eased in the closing stages, finishing a well-beaten third. Ladas appeared to be perfectly sound after the race, and the only explanation offered (by The Sportsman) was that the slow pace (the winning time was 1:48.4) had produced a false result. In the Eclipse Stakes at Sandown on 20 July, Ladas met Isinglass again, this time over ten furlongs on soft ground.
Fortunately the band of rain then eased in the closing stages and that ensured the meeting would run its full course. A flawless display from Peterborough captain Hans Andersen in which he recorded four consecutive race wins as well as an excellent showing from Peterborough reserve rider Piotr Swiderski helped the home side to a comprehensive victory. Coventry produced just two winners all night with Scott Nicholls taking heat one to give the away side a surprising lead. Rory Schlein was the only other race winner in Coventry colours in taking victory in heat ten.
A month later, Ramonti appeared at Royal Ascot where he contested the Queen Anne Stakes on the first day of the meeting. On this occasion, Dettori allowed the horse to make the running and he held the lead into the straight. Two furlongs from the finish he was headed by the Michael Stoute-trained Jeremy, but rallied "gamely" in the closing stages to regain the lead and win by a short head. The previous year's leading three-year-old George Washington finished fourth, with Red Evie in seventh.
Three weeks later, Spectrum was sent to Ireland and moved up sharply in class for the Group One Irish 2000 Guineas over one mile at the Curragh. He was made the 100/30 second favourite behind Bahri, a colt who had finished third behind Pennekamp and Celtic Swing in the 2000 Guineas on 6 May. Reid settled the colt just behind the leaders before moving up to take the lead inside the final quarter mile. Spectrum stayed on strongly in the closing stages and won by a length from Adjareli, with Bahri in third.
Galtee More was instead sent to Doncaster to attempt to complete the Triple Crown in the St Leger on 8 September. Only four horses opposed him and Galtee More started at odds of 1/10. The early pace was slow, and Wood tracked the leaders before moving to the front on the turn into the straight. On this occasion however, he was apparently unable to pull clear of his rivals and was strongly challenged in the closing stages by the filly Chelandry, the winner of the 1000 Guineas.
Red Rock Canyon maintained his lead into the straight when he was overtaken by Duke of Marmalade, but Papal Bull made rapid progress on the outside and took a slight advantage inside the final furlong. Papal Bull and Duke of Marmalade went clear of the rest in the closing stages, with the Irish horse rallying on the inside to regain the lead near the finish and win by a neck. There was a gap on nine lengths back to Youmzain, who took third place by a length from Red Rock Canyon.
Ridden by the 53-year-old Willie Carson Matiya took the lead at half way and kept on strongly in the closing stages to win by three lengths from Dance Design with My Branch taking third place. After the race Ben Hanbury said "Matiya is a fantastic filly and she has come on a lot since Newmarket. She was a fitter, harder and mentally happier than she was in the Newmarket Guineas. I deliberately did not run her before that because I have seen so many fillies ruined by the trials".
From 4 February 2000 to 7 February 2000, during the closing stages of the Second Chechen War, Russian aircraft launched several bomb attacks against the village of Katyr-Yurt. While the intended target was said to be militants who were passing through the village, the vast majority of the victims were civilians. According to various sources, the number of victims was as low as 46, or as high as 363. More accurate sources stated that the death toll was around 170, and at least 100 people were wounded.
Asmussen said that the colt had seemed to be trying to return to the racecourse stables. On his next appearance Diamond Shoal ran in the Coronation Cup at Epsom on 2 June. He led and set a moderate pace before being overtaken in the closing stages and finishing fourth of the five runners behind Be My Native. He was then sent to Italy where he recorded a very easy four length victory over Easter Sun, in the Gran Premio di Milano, becoming the first British-trained to win the race since its inception in 1924.
Racing Post Military Attack was then sent to the United Arab Emirates to represent Hong Kong in the 2014 Dubai World Cup. He was made the 3/1 favourite but was never in contention and finished tenth of the sixteen runners behind African Story. He returned to Hong Kong in April and attempted to repeat his 2013 success in the Queen Elizabeth II Cup. He took the lead inside the final furlong but was overtaken in the closing stages and beaten a neck by his four-year-old stable companion Designs On Rome.
Give The Slip maintained his advantage into the straight where Mick Kinane produced Galileo with a run on the inside to take the lead approaching the final quarter mile. Fantastic Light made rapid progress on the outside and caught the favourite a furlong from the finish, but Galileo rallied and pulled away again in the closing stages to win by two lengths. Hightori, who had been badly hampered by the fading Give The Slip, finished strongly to take third by a short head from Storming Home, with Millenary in fifth place.
On 11 May, the day on which French racing restarted after the COVID-19 outbreak Sottsass began his third campaign in the Group 2 Prix d'Harcourt over 2000 metres on very soft ground at Longchamp. Starting the 2/5 favourite he was restrained towards the rear before moving into contention in the straight but was unable to accelerate in the closing stages and came home fourth of the nine runners behind Shaman, Way To Paris and Simona. On 14 June, Sottsass won his second Group I race when successful in the Prix Ganay.
Eddery was again in the saddle on 24 July when Glint of Gold contested Britain's most prestigious weight-for-age race, the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. Starting at odds of 10/1, Glint of Gold tracked the leaders before making a strong challenge in the straight. He appeared to have taken a narrow lead approaching the final furlong but was outpaced in the closing stages and eventually beaten into third place by Kalaglow and Assert. It was the first and only time that Glint of Gold failed to finish first or second.
Avonbridge began his career by running unplaced in a twenty-runner maiden race at Windsor in August. Later in the same month he recorded his first win making almost all the running and going clear in the closing stages to win a maiden at Lingfield at odds of 20/1. Two weeks later he carried top weight of 133 lbs in a Nursery (a handicap race for two-year-olds) at Goodwood. Ridden by Seb Sanders he tracked the leaders before taking the lead inside the final furlong to win "readily" by a length.
Avonbridge was then sent to Royal Ascot where he started favourite for the Golden Jubilee Stakes but finished only fifth to Fayr Jag. Avonbridge ran three times in the second half of the season, performing respectably, but failing to win. He finished fourth in the King George Stakes at Goodwood and fourth again in the Group One Nunthorpe Stakes at York after leading briefly in the closing stages. On his final start of the year he finished fifth of the fifteen starters in the Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp in October.
He tracked the leaders before accelerating clear in the closing stages to win by two and a half lengths from Arkadian Hero. In the Group One July Cup at Newmarket Tamarisk was never able to catch the front-running Elnadim but stayed on well to hold second place in a field of seventeen. Tamarisk started 13/2 for the Group One Sprint Cup at Haydock in September. The field was a strong one, including Elnadim as well as the winners of the King's Stand Stakes (Bolshoi) and the Nunthorpe Stakes (Lochangel).
Jupiter Island was in last place on the turn into the straight, but produced a strong late run to catch the British-trained three-year-old Allez Milord in the final strides and prevailed by a head after a "desperate finish". The result was only confirmed after an enquiry by racecourse stewards into possible interference by the winner in the closing stages and an attempted protest by Greville Starkey, the rider of the runner-up. Jupiter Island's victory earned more prize money for his owners than the horse had accumulated in his previous forty starts.
In the straight, Black Tarquin moved up to challenge and drew level a furlong from the finish, but Alycidon pulled away again in the closing stages to win by five lengths. His victory was notable as it came after a period in which the race had been dominated by foreign-bred horses. In July he appeared to be unsuited by the firm ground, but still won the Goodwood Cup by two lengths from Riding Mill. He completed his career with an eight length success in the Doncaster Cup in September.
Archer sent Melton into the lead before halfway, and in the closing stages he pulled clear to win easily by three lengths from Brighton and Fulmen. In the next phase of his career, Melton moved into handicap races with limited success. On 21 July he carried top weight of 130 won the Leicestershire Cup over one mile, and won impressively, beating twelve opponents in a common canter. Five days later at Goodwood he carried 146 pounds in the Stewards’ Cup and finished unplaced behind Crafton who carried 109.
Nathaniel began his two year old career on 13 August 2010 in a one-mile maiden race at Newmarket on soft ground, in which he was beaten half a length by Sir Henry Cecil's Frankel, with the pair finishing five lengths clear of their opponents. The race remains the closest of Frankel's career. A month later, Nathaniel started 5/6 favourite for a similar event at Doncaster. He took the lead a furlong from the finish but was caught in the closing stages and beaten a short head by Picture Editor.
On 27 October he was sent to Newmarket to run in the Dewhurst Stakes for which he started 3/1 second favourite. He started quickly but dropped away in the closing stages and finished unplaced behind Ladislas. On the following day on the same course he won a weakly contested race for the Troy Stakes (the event was run twice a year) in which he beat Pebble by a neck. Following the race he was described in The Sportsman as a "nice colt" and a "thorough stayer", but below Derby class.
St. Blaise was then sent to France for the Grand Prix de Paris over 3000m at Longchamp on 5 June. Ridden by Archer, he started favourite at 4/5 against five French opponents. He was held up in the early stages before making his challenge just as Frontin, ridden by Tom Cannon, took the lead in the straight. St Blaise and the French colt had a "splendid race" in the closing stages, but although the Derby winner steadily reduced the margin between them he could not overhaul the leader and was beaten by a head.
She went to the front effortlessly before pulling away to win by two lengths from Quicklime, with a further four lengths back to Marden in third. Two days later, she ran against her own sex in the 1000 Guineas. Only five fillies opposed her, and Shotover was the subject of heavy betting which saw her start the 1/4 favourite. Shotover took the lead a furlong out, but was caught in the closing stages and beaten a head by St Marguerite, with Nellie only a head away in third.
Quicklime briefly went clear and looked the likely winner. Cannon, however, produced Shotover with a well-timed run to take the lead in the closing stages and win "cleverly" by three-quarters of a length from Quicklime with the pair well clear of the American colt Sachem, who finished strongly to take third. The finish of the race was reportedly captured in a perfect "sun picture" by a London photographer. Shotover became the third filly to win the race following Eleanor in 1801 and Blink Bonny in 1857.
Old Vic was sent into the lead by his jockey Steve Cauthen and set the pace from Limeburn. He maintained his advantage into the straight where he led from Belmez, Cacoethes, Assatis and In The Wings. Belmez took the lead with two furlongs to run but Old Vic rallied on the inside and the closing stages developed into a prolonged struggle between the two Henry-Cecil trained colts. Belmez prevailed by a neck, with Assatis finishing strongly to take third, a length and a half behind Old Vic.
Apart from Fleeting Spirit, the British runners included Equiano, Paco Boy, King's Apostle (Prix Maurice de Gheest) and Art Connoisseur (Golden Jubilee Stakes). Ridden by Tom Queally, Fleeting Spirit tracked the leaders before moving up to take the lead a furlong out. Although she veered first left and then right in the closing stages she ran on strongly to win by a length and a quarter from Main Aim in a time of 1:09.58. There was a stewards' inquiry into possible interference caused by Fleeting Spirit but the result was allowed to stand.
At Tattenham corner, St. Gatien moved into contention again on the outside as the field was led by Borneo and Richmond. Shortly after the turn into the straight Wood sent St. Gatien into the lead, closely followed by Sam Loates on Harvester. The two colts pulled clear of their opponents and a "tremendous struggle" ensued as they raced "locked together" throughout the closing stages. Well inside the final furlong St. Gatien took a half length advantage but Harvester produced a final effort and the two leaders crossed the line together.
Kerry eased into a five-point lead, but only after a let-off which saw Johnson flash a first-time shot just wide. Down were awarded a penalty in the 29th minute after a run by Michael Ennis was illegally halted, but Paul Braniff drilled over the bar. Down continued to press in the closing stages of the half, cutting the deficit further with three more points. Kerry still held on to a narrow 2–6 to 1–8 lead at the interval, and they pushed on with three quick points after the restart.
He won the prologue and was the first to wear the race leader's yellow jersey. He then held the lead until the second stage came to a close when stage winner Linus Gerdemann took the lead away from him. Cancellara then raced the Tour de Suisse and won the opening and closing stages of the race, which were both individual time trials. He then closed out June by winning the Swiss National Road Race after he out-sprinted Steve Morabito for the win, which was his second Swiss National Road Race title.
Alkaased did not appear in 2003 until July, when he finished second in a maiden at Yarmouth. On 25 August he started the 1/8 favourite for a maiden race over one and a half miles at Ripon Racecourse. Ridden by Willie Supple, he recorded his first success, taking the lead half a mile from the finish and winning by four lengths despite being eased down in the closing stages. In his two remaining races of the season, Alkaased finished second when carrying top weight in handicap races at Newmarket and Leicester.
For example, during the Invasion of Lingayen Gulf, Salamaua carried 14 FM-2 fighters and 10 TBM-3 torpedo bombers, for a total of 24 aircraft. However, during Salamauas anti-submarine sweeps in the closing stages of the war, she carried 18 FM-2 fighters, 2 FM-2P variant fighters, and 12 TBM-3E variant torpedo bombers, for a total of 32 aircraft. While she was transporting aircraft in a non-combat role, she could accommodate up to 50 aircraft, provided her flight deck was also used for storage.
The 1998 Commonwealth Games were a spectacular event in Malaysia's Capital Kuala Lumpur. In the magnificent Bukit Jalil stadium, Wales played some of the world's best sides in incredible heat and humidity. With emergency coach Williamson working alongside Manager Gilbody, the squad also brought in Gareth Terrett after an injury to O'Sullivan in a practice match against Kenya. An opening win against Trinidad was followed by defeats to New Zealand, India, South Africa and Australia, but Wales were well in all the games until the closing stages when fatigue took hold.
At Epsom on 4 June he started a 20/1 outsider in a field of twenty-four runners. Aldcroft rode a waiting race on Ellington, tracking the leaders and moving steadily closer in the straight before making his challenge inside the final furlong. He moved past the leader Yellow Jack in the closing stages and won comfortably by a length with the favourite Fazzoletto third. Ellington was one of the few horses to cope with the extremely soft ground: the winning time of 3:04.0 remains the slowest ever recorded.
Toast of New York began his racing career in August, contesting two maiden races. He finished fifth when a 66/1 outsider over seven furlongs on turf at Leicester and second over a mile on the Polytrack synthetic surface at Kempton Park Racecourse. In the latter, in which he was ridden for the first time by Jamie Spencer, he was beaten a neck by Tom Tug after his bit slipped out of his mouth in the closing stages. The colt's other two races of 2013 took place on the Tapeta surface at Wolverhampton Racecourse.
Playing Halifax, he had had a torrid time until the closing stages of the game when he inspired Leeds to grab a draw. England's Wigan club had tried to sign Sailor for a large amount, but he decided to stay with the Broncos. In 1999 Sailor put in a man-of-the-match performance in the deciding match of the 1999 State of Origin series which saw Queensland retain the shield. At the end of the year he scored the match-winning try against New Zealand to clench the 1999 Tri-nations title for Australia.
Golden Lilac made her three-year-old debut in the Group Three Prix de la Grotte at Longchamp in April. She was settled in fourth place by Guyon before taking the lead in the closing stages and winning "comfortably" by one and a half lengths. In winning the Prix de la Grotte, she emulated her dam, Grey Lilas, who took the same race in 2004. Three weeks later, the filly returned to Longchamp for the Group One Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, the French equivalent of Britain's 1000 Guineas.
On 29 January 2010, Hall was signed on loan by Newcastle United for the rest of the season. He made his debut in the 5–1 win over Cardiff City at St James' Park and put in a solid performance, before being replaced by Tamás Kádár in the closing stages of the game. During Newcastle's 2–2 draw with Bristol City at Ashton Gate Stadium on 20 March, Hall injured his hamstring in a chase with Nicky Maynard. After the game, Newcastle United manager Chris Hughton said Hall's injury did not look too good.
Several cars were damaged during the race: Wurz's rear wing was damaged in the incident that took out Speed, while Davidson hit a groundhog on the racetrack. This meant that the safety car had to be deployed on four occasions. At the final restart on lap sixty, all of the remaining twelve cars were on the same lap creating some close racing and a lot of overtaking. Hamilton sustained his consistent pace throughout all of the incidents and pulled clear of Heidfeld in the closing stages, taking his first race win relatively comfortably.
After an absence of almost eleven months, Papineau returned for the Yorkshire Cup on 13 May 2005. He started the 7/2 second favourite but finished fifth to Franklins Gardens after hanging to the right in the closing stages. The "Royal Ascot" meeting of 2005 took place at York Racecourse as Ascot Racecourse was being redeveloped. Papineau was made third favourite for the Gold Cup, but never looked likely to win and was virtually pulled-up by McEvoy in the straight and finished sixteenth of the seventeen runners behind Westerner.
On 1 May the 106th running of the 1000 Guineas over one mile at Newmarket Racecourse attracted an unusually small field of eight runners. The Middle Park Stakes winner Benevente started favourite ahead of My Dear whereas Ferry, ridden by Brownie Carslake, started a 50/1 outsider. Benevente led before giving way to My Dear but Ferry took the lead in the closing stages and won "easily" by two lengths. The filly was stepped up in distance for the ten furlong Newmarket Stakes later that month but ran unplaced behind the colt Somme Kiss.
In the closing stages, the colt Central Park (a future double Group One winner) ran on more strongly and beat the filly by one and a half lengths. Cape Verdi was off the course for two months before running in the Lowther Stakes at York in which she was matched against the Princess Margaret Stakes winner Embassy. Reid once again held the filly up before challenging in the final quarter mile. Cape Verdi ran on strongly to catch Embassy in the final strides and win by a short head.
It was more than a year after her run in the Derby that Cape Verdi reappeared in the Group Two Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket in July. Given the length of her absence her performance in finishing third to the French-trained Ronda after leading until the final furlong was promising one. Cape Verdi started 7/2 second favourite for the Group One Nassau Stakes at Glorious Goodwood, but ran poorly, weakening in the closing stages and finishing last of the eight runners. Saeed bin Suroor was unable to give an immediate explanation for her performance.
After the race Charles Hill commented "He's a three-year-old who's improving and going through the ranks and this is another step up today. He's up against some proper sprinters there and he just travelled with such ease." The Nunthorpe Stakes at York Racecourse on 25 August featured a much-anticipated clash between Battaash and the American filly Lady Aurelia. Battaash was among the leaders from the start but was unable to quicken in the closing stages and came home fourth behind Marsha, Lady Aurelia and the outsider Cotai Glory (also trained by Hills).
After running in third place for much of the way she weakened in the closing stages to finish fifth, beaten seven and a half lengths by Dancing Rain. Three weeks later, Misty for Me ran in the Group One Pretty Polly Stakes over ten furlongs at the Curragh. In this race she was matched against the British-trained five-year-old Midday, winner of the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf, who was made 1/3 favourite. Heffernan sent Misty for Me into the lead and set a slow pace before accelerating in the straight.
He raced prominently, and had every chance in the straight but was beaten a head by Strategic Choice. He then attempted to win a second French Group One in the Prix du Cadran at Longchamp and as in the previous year's Prix Royal-Oak he disputed the finish with Always Earnest. On this occasion however, it was the French-trained gelding who prevailed by a short head. The race also helped to give Moonax a reputation for unpredictable behaviour: he turned his head and attempted to bite Always Earnest in the closing stages.
She made steady progress in the closing stages but never looked likely to win and finished fifth of the 18 runners, behind Saoire. The "Royal Ascot" meeting of 2005 was run at York as Ascot was closed for redevelopment. On 17 June Maids Causeway started the 9/2 second favourite for the Group One Coronation Stakes behind the Irish-trained filly Damson, winners of the Queen Mary Stakes and the Phoenix Stakes. Virginia Waters and Karen's Caper were also in the field along with the highly regarded maiden winner Discuss.
Alphabatim, ridden by Greville Starkey, started 9/2 second choice in the betting ahead of Beldale Lear (a winner in Belgium) and the Michael Stoute- trained maiden Falstaff. Alphabatim turned into the straight in fourth place behind the outsiders Lake Valentina, Ilium and Petrizzo before moving up to take the lead from Ilium just inside the last quarter mile. He was immediately challenged by Mendez on the outside but stayed on well in the closing stages to beat the favourite by half a length with Ilium a head away in third.
Neymar scored two goals in the closing stages – a free kick in the 88th minute and a penalty kick in the 91st – to make it 5–1. In the final seconds of the match, Neymar appeared once again to deliver a cross into the penalty area, and Sergi Roberto scored their sixth and final goal in the 95th minute thus winning the game 6–1 and advancing to the quarter finals 6–5 on aggregate; with the outcome described as "astonishing", "incredible", and "a miracle" by the media.
Dubai Millennium made his debut as a two-year-old at Yarmouth in October 1998. He started odds-on favourite and won by five lengths despite being eased down by jockey Frankie Dettori in the closing stages. At the end of the year, Dubai Millennium was transferred to the stable of Saeed bin Suroor and wintered at the Godolphin training facility in Dubai. During the winter, he began to appear in the betting list for the following year's Derby, although some felt that his name was the main reason for the attention.
Two furlongs out he was challenged by Mtoto, ridden by Michael Roberts. The two horses raced together in the closing stages before Mtoto pulled ahead to prevail by three quarters a length, with Triptych taking third. Three weeks later, Reference Point returned to twelve furlongs in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes at Ascot. Starting the 11/10 favourite, he led the field into the straight and then pulled clear in the final quarter mile to win by three lengths from Celestial Storm and Triptych.
Ridden by Nat Flatman he won by a head from Little Harry to whom he was conceding thirty-two pounds. On his final start of the year he met Kingston again in the Doncaster Cup. On this occasion he was set to concede nineteen pounds to the three-year-old and the race appeared to be a virtual match, with the other runners largely ignored in the betting. As expected, Teddington and Kingston dominated the closing stages and after a "beautiful race" it was Teddington who prevailed by a neck.
As a two-year-old, Erhaab had been raced exclusively over seven furlongs, and had shown ability, but appeared to be below top class. At three, he was sent over middle distances and showed immediate improvement. On his debut he ran in the Listed Feilden Stakes at Newmarket, in which he was matched against Weigh Anchor, a colt who was regarded as a serious Derby prospect. Erhaab raced prominently, but Carson was unable to find space for a run on the rails and had to pull the colt to the outside in the closing stages.
High Top led from the start and went well clear approaching the final furlong. In the closing stages the Irish-trained colt Roberto emerged as a challenger, but the favourite was driven out by Carson to win by half a length, with a gap of six lengths back to Sun Prince in third.

On 2 April, the filly started odds-on favourite for the A$3 million Doncaster Mile at Randwick despite carrying top weight in a fifteen-runner field on unsuitably soft ground. She looked unlikely to obtain a clear run in the straight but broke through in the closing stages to win by two lengths from Happy Clapper. Waller commented, "I'll call her a champion while I can speak.
The Gold Cup featured a rematch with Alycidon, who had been unbeaten in four staying races since his defeat at Doncaster. Black Tarquin was made 10/11 favourite for the race ahead of Alycidon on 5/4.

He quickly accelerated clear of the field and won by twelve lengths despite being eased down by Dettori in the closing stages.
He finished second behind the British- trained five-year-old Postponed. The colt took a long time to recover from the race and did not reappear until 26 June when he was made the 1.9/1 favourite for the Takarazuka Kinen at Hanshin. He was restrained towards the rear of the seventeen runner field before being switched to the outside to deliver his run in the straight.

In August Attica Meli started at odds of 9/1 for the Geoffrey Freer Stakes over thirteen and a half furlongs at Newbury Racecourse, when she again faced Our Mirage, Ormindo and Ballyhot. She reportedly looked much more impressive in the paddock than she had done in her previous races that year.

Tensions between himself and teammate Vettel rose after the German overtook Webber in the closing stages of the Malaysian Grand Prix to take the win despite the team's order to hold positions. Webber took another podium in Monaco.
The colt was then sent abroad for the first time to contest the Group One St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot. Daylami's striking appearance impressed observers and he was well fancied at 7/2, but in the race he seemed to be outpaced in the closing stages and finished a well-beaten third to Starborough. For his two remaining starts, Daylami returned to France, and continued to be tried over one mile. In both of these races, he proved the best of the three-year-old runners.
He produced a strong late run to catch Buck's Boy in the closing stages and win by one and a quarter lengths. On his final European start of the year, Daylami was brought back to a mile and a quarter and was slightly disappointing, finishing third to the filly Alborada as the 6/5 favourite for the Champion Stakes.

On his only other start of the season, St. Giles started 5/2 second favourite in a highly anticipated race for the Goodwood Cup in late July. He looked to be traveling well but weakened in the closing stages and finished unplaced behind the 1830 Derby winner Priam. St. Giles had not been entered for the St Leger and a proposed match race at Doncaster against Lord Kelburne's horse Retainer did not take place.

On his final European start, Dayjur contested the Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp Racecourse in Paris. Only five horses appeared to oppose him and he led from the start before winning by two lengths. He was eased down in the closing stages and lost some ground when appearing to jump a shadow cast across the course. During his final race, the 1990 Breeders' Cup Sprint at Belmont Park, Dayjur overcame a difficult wide draw and after bitterly contesting the lead with Safely Kept, had got on top and looked set for a famous victory.
The final furlong saw Magnificent Star and Jet Ski Lady draw away from the field, with the outsider prevailing in the final stride to win by a short head.

Räikkönen also jumped Kovalainen in the second round of stops. As the race was heading into the closing stages, Hamilton seemed to be on a charge to try to catch the leading Brawn but in reality it looked only a mistake would stop the Brazilian winning. As Button was lapping a second off the pace just making sure his car got to the end. Kubica was catching Button at a high rate of knots but it seemed a long shot if Button was going to lose them two points.

Bolton Wanderers looked increasingly likely to win the league as the season progressed, the Reds played both games against the Trotters relatively early on in the season, with the two games both resulting in 2–2 draws. As the season neared its closing stages, it looked as if either Barnsley or Mark McGhee's Wolverhampton Wanderers would join Bolton.
Ridden by Lester Piggott she stayed on well in the closing stages to win by two lengths from Rocket Alert. In August she was stepped up again for the Group Two Lowther Stakes at York Racecourse in which Steve Cauthen rode the filly for the first time. She was beaten two and a half lengths into second place by the Henry Cecil-trained Prickle (ridden by Piggott), with the Cherry Hinton Stakes winner Chapel Cottage in third and Pebbles in fourth.

Tuohy denied Waterford a fourth goal of the first half when he somehow flicked Tom Devine's thunderous drive over the crossbar. At half time, Waterford were 3-10 to 0-6 clear and the game looked over. The Tribesmen reeled off five points without reply after the restart to narrow the deficit, however, it was as close as they got to Waterford. Shane Bennett's 49th-minute goal seemed to kill off any hope of a Galway revival. Stephen Bennett’s second goal in the closing stages capped a memorable evening.
The best-fancied of his opponents were Massaat (Hungerford Stakes), Dabyah (Fred Darling Stakes), Dutch Connection (2016 Lennox Stakes) and Gifted Master (Pavilion Stakes).

Morris finished unbeaten on 54, his fourth consecutive half-century of the series. O'Reilly criticised the approach taken by the Australians in the closing stages of the match, attributing it to Bradman's orders. He said the pitch was made so tame by the heavy rain that they could have played in a natural and attractive manner to entertain the spectators, rather than defending carefully. He said Bradman's "unwillingness to take a risk or to accept the challenging call of some particular phase of the game is one of the greatest flaws" in his leadership.
Ridden by Richard Hughes, he raced in mid-division as Eveningperformance set the pace before making progress approaching the final furlong. Piccolo overtook Mind Games in the closing stages and ran on to win by one and a half lengths from Struggler with the favourite half a length away in third.

Rosberg was on course to win in Belgium on the car's debut but tyre trouble caused him to drop back in the closing stages of the race. The FW08 was Frank Dernie's favourite car of all those he worked on during his time with the team. The car was updated for the 1983 Formula One season to become the FW08C. Under new regulations all ground effect was out and flat bottom cars were in, meaning nearly all the cars in Formula One had to be heavily modified or replaced and the FW08 was no different.

Such orders were legal and accepted historically in motor racing. In the early years of the Formula One World Championship, it was even legal for a driver to give up his car during the race to the team leader if the latter's car had broken down. In 1955, the Mercedes team asked Juan Manuel Fangio to let his teammate Stirling Moss win his home Grand Prix at Aintree. Fangio obliged, refusing to attack Moss in the closing stages of the race, and came home in second place, less than a second behind Moss.
Sam Day tracked the leaders on Mango, but approaching the final furlong he seemed unlikely to figure in the finish when a greyhound ran onto the course, impeding two of the leaders. In the closing stages, Mango was driven through a gap in the leading rank, settled the race in three strides and won by a length Mr Fairlie's colt Abraham Newland. The result was enthusiastically received by the large and unruly crowd. Both Greville and his associate Lord George Bentinck were reported to have won £10,000 on the race.
Bold Lad began his three-year-old campaign with a win in the Tetrarch Stakes at The Curragh in Ireland. Sent to England, he was the 100/30 joint-favorite with Royal Palace going into the Classic 2,000 Guineas Stakes at Newmarket.

After two wins from three starts in New Zealand, Doriemus was transferred to Lee Freedman late in his three-year- old term, in the winter of 1994. The small, wiry chestnut won by four lengths on his Australian debut,Doriemus's career record but was considered immature and spelled. He won only twice as a four-year-old, but did enough to qualify for the following year's Caulfield Cup. Carrying 52 kilograms, and ridden patiently by Damien Oliver, Doriemus overhauled South Australian and West Australian Derby winners, Count Chivas and Beaux Art over the closing stages.
Macready's son from his second marriage was General Sir Nevil Macready, a distinguished British Army officer as was his brother, Major Edward Nevil Macready, who commanded the Light Company of the 30th Regiment of Foot in the closing stages of the Battle of Waterloo.

Depailler then dropped behind Scheckter and the Ferrari driver then attacked Jarier and finally on lap 27 he moved to second place. The two Ferraris were out ahead and interest centered on the battle for third with Jarier under pressure from Depailler, Andretti and Jones. The Williams driver managed to get ahead of Andretti and all three then overtook Jarier and so as the race went into its closing stages Jones was challenging Depailler. On lap 62 he got ahead, but it wasn't enough to catch Villeneuve and Scheckter, who finished 1-2.
Gordon Johncock leads Rick Mears in the closing stages of the race. On a restart with 40 laps to go, Gordon Johncock came up to speed faster and passed Rick Mears for the lead on the backstretch. Most of the balance of the field was eliminated, or running several laps behind. Johncock was unable to pull away and the two cars ran nose to tail for the next 20 laps, with Mears handling better in the turns but Johncock able to find enough speed at the end of the straightaway to keep Mears from passing.
Dermot weld described the winner as "brave and tough as well as being talented. He did get a bit tired towards the finish but that was understandable". After a break of two months, Grey Swallow contested Britain's most prestigious all-aged race, the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes, which was run that year at Newbury Racecourse. Starting the 100/30 second favourite, but after making a forward move with a half a mile to run, he faded in the closing stages and finished seventh of the twelve runners behind Azamour.
On his final run of the season, Danoli returned to England for a second Aintree Hurdle. He was always among the leaders and ran on gamely in the closing stages to win by three quarters of a length from Boro Eight, with Large Action third and Doran's Pride fourth. Danoli returned from the race badly lame, and examinations revealed a fracture of the cannon bone in his right foreleg. He was operated on at the University of Liverpool's Leahurst Veterinary College, and his future as a racehorse was left in the balance.
In the race, he again took the lead through pit stops, first overtaking Lewis Hamilton midway through the race and then putting in fast laps as Fernando Alonso pitted for the second time in the closing stages to pass him. Räikkönen led to the end of the race. At the , Räikkönen captured his second pole position of the season but retired from the race, run in heavy rain, with a problem with the hydraulics of the car. In Hungary, Räikkönen qualified his car in fourth place, but started from third after Fernando Alonso was penalised.
He collected a set of Munster and All-Ireland medals with the under-21 footballers as an unused substitute in 1981, following respective provincial and All-Ireland decider defeats of Kerry and Galway. The following year Cunningham added a Munster medal with the under-21 hurlers to his collection. Galway were the opponents in the subsequent All-Ireland decider on a day when both defences gave superb displays. Cork came from behind in the closing stages to win by a single point, scored from long range by Kevin Hennessy.
Papyrus's first race after the Derby was the Duke of York Stakes at York on 28 August. He was beaten a short-head by the front-running Craigelyr, but was awarded the race after Donoghue lodged an objection against the winner on the grounds of "boring". Less than two weeks later Papyrus started favourite for the St Leger at Doncaster. He took the lead in the straight and got the better of a prolonged struggle with Parth, but was caught in the closing stages and beaten by Lord Derby's filly Tranquil.
Le Mans in 1978 In 1978, the Renault V6 turbo, which had lost in 1976 and 1977 to the Porsche 936, finally managed to beat the German cars. Each company had brought no less than four cars, which after qualifying shared the first four rows. After Renault's hare, the brand new A443, holed a piston late on Sunday morning, the modified A442B with its bubble roof was able to hold off Jacky Ickx and the remaining factory Porsches in the closing stages. Mission accomplished at Le Mans, Renault concentrated their efforts on Formula One.
Map of the six Yugoslav republics and autonomous provinces in 1991 During the closing stages of the Cold War, Serbian nationalist Slobodan Milošević took power as the leader of the Socialist Republic of Serbia. His nationalist policies alienated leaders of the other constituent countries of Yugoslavia, a multi- ethnic state that had been established in 1918. Slovenia, Croatia, and the Republic of Macedonia each declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, but Serbian forces forcefully opposed Croatia's independence, beginning the Yugoslav Wars. In 1992, Bosnia and Herzegovina also declared independence.
Conolly eventually sent Euclid into the lead which he held until Charles the Twelfth made his challenge in the straight. As in the first race, the two colts raced together throughout the closing stages, but Bill Scott always appeared to have the upper hand and Charles the Twelfth won "rather cleverly" by a head. The time for the second heat was 3:45. Two days later Charles the Twelfth was matched against older horses, including the leading stayers Bee's-wing and Lanercost in the Doncaster Cup over two miles five furlongs.
Withdrawing all players into a defensive area also means that if the ball is cleared from an initial cross, it is more than likely that the attacking team will regain possession of the ball and begin a new attack. In situations where a set-piece, such as a corner, is awarded to a side trailing by a single goal at the closing stages of a match where conceding further is of minimal consequence (i.e. in a knockout tournament) a team may commit all their players, including their goalkeeper, to the attack.
Mike Conway started from the pole position and looked to sweep the weekend of races in the second race of the Chevrolet Dual at Detroit. Conway led 31 of the first 45 laps, but after a sequence of pit stops, and a failed tire strategy, was shuffled back to third in the closing stages. After a ten-car accident that took out several front-runners, the final stint shaped up as a three-car battle between Simon Pagenaud, James Jakes, and Conway. Pagenaud came to the lead when Jakes pitted on lap 58.

Saoirse Abu did not race again.
Kauto Star again began the season in the Old Roan Chase at Aintree, where he faced three rivals: Melling Chase winner Monet's Garden, Gold Cup runner up Exotic Dancer and Ashley Brook. Before the race, Paul Nicholls warned that Kauto Star, who started the 10/11 favourite, needed the run. During the closing stages of the race, he chased leader Monet's Garden but could not catch him. Monet's Garden won by 1½ lengths from Kauto Star, who was giving him a stone in weight, with Exotic Dancer a further 20 lengths back in third.

Vedette won the race by three quarters of a length from Anton, who finished a head in front a third placed Loyola. After winning the 2000 Guineas Vedette was very lame and had to hobble back from the weighing room to his stable.
On 27 June Commander in Chief traveled to the Curragh for the Irish Derby. The build-up and betting suggested that the race would effectively be a match between Commander in Chief (4/7 favourite) and the French-trained Hernando, the winner of the Prix du Jockey Club who started at 9/4. The two colts duly came to the front two furlongs out and raced together throughout the closing stages. The English colt however, proved the superior horse on the day and won by three quarters of a length.

Jackie Stewart qualified the Matra MS80 on pole, but opted to drive the previous season's MS10 and so started from the back of the grid. Jack Brabham led from start to finish, but suffered from fuel starvation in the closing stages and finished only seconds ahead of Jochen Rindt, who had suffered from water in the ignition system at the start and dropped back to tenth place, subsequently setting fastest lap in his Lotus 49B as he worked his way through the field. Jackie Stewart finished third, narrowly ahead of Jacky Ickx.
Cameron Waters took his first championship pole position in a rain-affected qualifying session for Race 8.

Her trainer's daughter Seiko Hashida Yoshimura said "It was a glorious day and everything just fell right for her. Goodwood is very different to Japanese racecourses, which are usually oval-shaped [but] we were sure that she would like this track and it worked out very well. The quicker ground was another important factor for her today and it is very special to win a Group One event in Britain".
