The winners silks in the Aintree Donkey Derby appear to be black and amber/orange to me, though I wouldn't argue at dark chocolate either. Nobody had either colour anyway, so blanks all round. Snoots was closest with Black and Yellow.



In the mens Curling World Championships, hosts Canada, despite winning 11 of 12 games in the Round Robin games, came unstuck 7-4 against Scotland in the semi, who scraped through to the play--off with an 8-4 record for 5th place. Canada now play China for the bronze medal. Scotland will play Switzerland, who beat China 7-3. The Swiss finished 2nd in the Round Robin with a 9-3 record. That leaves Snoots as the only potential points scorer.
