The Stewards’ Cup winner at Glorious Goodwood, Two Tribes, won it for the second time in a week with strong support.

The 11-2 chance, which David Egan and Richard Spencer both rode, was as big as 18-1 on Friday.

Two Tribes, owner of the 1980s film franchise Frankie Goes to Hollywood, was named in honor of Phil Cunningham’s successful Ascot win seven days prior.

He surpassed Strike Red by two and a half lengths, with Jakajaro coming in third, drawing 25 of the 27 runners to Goodwood.

He actually made things easier there than he did in the International. Egan, who crossed the finishing line with the horse, punched the air and did a quick double like that.

Run Boy Run and Twilight Calls, both of which placed fourth and fifth, were also in Spencer’s honor.

In the Lillie Langtry Stakes earlier, Callum Rodriguez rode the Waardah-trained filly by Owen Burrows.

Rodriguez, who was one of five jockeys to miss rides on Thursday because a private plane that was taking them to Goodwood had to make an emergency landing, came out in good form with the end of the five-day meeting.

Aaron Ramsdale, an England goalkeeper, claims that Eddie Howe’s desire to play for England once more contributed to his decision to join Newcastle.

On Saturday, the 27-year-old moved from Southampton on a season-long loan to the Magpies.

When Howe was in charge of Bournemouth, he purchased Ramsdale from Sheffield United for about $800,000 in 2017.

“Working with the manager and his coaching staff again was a big plus for me,” Ramsdale said.

“They have already had a significant impact on my career, and the manager has transformed me from a man to a professional footballer at Bournemouth.”

He really taught me the ropes, making the manager and his coaching staff “a huge selling point” for me to attend.

After Manchester City acquired James Trafford from Burnley, Newcastle turned their attention to Ramsdale.

The Magpies have signed Antonio Cordero from Malaga and Anthony Elanga from Nottingham Forest, respectively, as their third summer signings.

On Friday, the club rejected a bid from Liverpool for striker Alexander Isak worth about £110 million.

Nick Pope won the first senior England cap since 121 years when he started against Italy at the San Siro in September 2022. The Magpies now have another English international top-notch player on their books after three years.

However, fans at Newcastle could be forgiven if they were interested in signing a goalkeeper who has been relegated to four different clubs.

Aaron Ramsdale was a member of the Southampton side that lost 12 points last season, and he also had to leave Sheffield United in 2020, Bournemouth in 2019-20, and Chesterfield on loan while he was a member of League Two.

In his 30 league starts last year, he kept just three top-flight clean sheets and conceded 66 goals. He has made 183 Premier League appearances overall, compared to Pope’s current total of 38.

Callum Wilson has signed a 12-month contract with West Ham after playing for Newcastle and Bournemouth.

After being released by Newcastle at the end of last season, Wilson was in talks with the Hammers about signing him as a free agent, according to BBC Sport on July 24.

And ahead of the 2025-26 season, Wilson has already signed a deal with Graham Potter’s side.

Wilson, who made 49 goals in 130 games for the Magpies before agreeing to a new deal, won nine England caps between 2018 and 2023.

Due to chest, hamstring, and back injuries, the 33-year-old was only allowed to make 18 Premier League appearances between 2024 and 2025, two as a starter, and 20 during the previous campaign.

He also had options in Major League Soccer and attracted interest from other Premier League clubs.

At the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore, Benjamin Proud finished second to Olympic champion Cameron McEvoy in the 50-meter freestyle.

Proudly improved his 21.61 second semi-final time, coming in second with a 21.26sec time, but it didn’t get Australian McEvoy’s way.

The two again placed first and second in a respectable field, a parody of the Paris Olympics competition.

Summer McIntosh’s hopes of joining Michael Phelps as the only swimmer to capture five gold medals at a single world championship were ended by nine-time Olympic champion Katie Ledecky.

Ledecky won the gold medal in the 800-meter freestyle in a dramatic time of 8:05.52, 0.36 seconds, ahead of Lani Pallister, who was in second.

For the first time in the same 800-meter freestyle, two women ever went below 8: 06.00.
