All Aggies in the lineup made it on base in a dominant 10-4 series-opening victory over the LSU Tigers on Friday night.

Texas A&M freshman Jorian Wilson’s two opposite-field home runs were the highlight of the night against the Tigers. The Aggie outfielder has recorded nine home runs so far this season, just two behind first baseman Grahovac, who has notched 11. The Maroon and White lineup features various explosive hitters who have racked up electrifying at-bats for the Aggies against elite competition.

Final score from Alex Box Stadium

Miss Chanel’s debut came in January, a time when trainer Adrian Bott had little expectation she’d still be competing on Sydney’s autumn carnival finale.

Bott was set to give her a spell post each race, but the filly has forced the hand of her connections to extend her preparation by staying competitive and earning her best-ever Group 1 result in the recent Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m).

Come Saturday, the Champagne Stakes (1600m) at Randwick awaits, where she hopes to emulate the seven fillies from the past 20 years who bested colts and geldings, with She’s Extreme the last in 2022.

“This is her seventh run, which is a little bit unorthodox,” Bott said.

“I can’t say it’s by design.

“She has been remarkably consistent, but each time I’ve thought it’s possibly our last run for the preparation, she seems to have put in another improved run again and done well off the back of it.

“I am mindful that at some point, she is going to have that run that says she has come to the end of her campaign, and it’s not going to be a surprise when she does.

“But off the back of what we’ve seen, she hasn’t given us any indication in her work. Her weight is great, appetite good, she’s bright in herself and a mile should really suit.”

The Champagne Stakes features other frequent racers beyond Miss Chanel.

Godolphin colt Zambales matches her with a seventh outing, while Fireball, Diameter and Persian Wonder are on six apiece.

In contrast to her rearward position and late charge in the Sires’ Produce, Bott expects Miss Chanel to sit handier from the wide gate this Saturday.

“From the draw, we’re probably going to have to be a bit more positive,” he said.

“Naturally, we think we can be stepping up to a mile, and she has sat on pace in some faster races over 1100 and 1200 earlier in the prep, so she does have tactical speed.”

Partner Gai Waterhouse boasts five Champagne Stakes victories, the most recent Pierro in 2012, though Bott and she haven’t won it jointly.

Their juveniles of late tended toward sprinting or Golden Slipper pursuits, positioning $5.50 Miss Chanel to potentially change that.

The speculation over who Conor Benn may work with moving forward has come to an end after he put pen to paper on a new deal.

It came as a shock earlier this year when it was announced that Benn had left Eddie Hearn and Matchroom in order to join forces with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing.

Benn’s deal with Zuffa was for just one fight, with that taking place last weekend when he defeated former super-lightweight world champion Regis Prograis by unanimous decision in a 150lb catchweight bout.

That meant ‘The Destroyer’ was a free agent at the conclusion of that fight and was able to negotiate with other promoters, though former long-term promoter Hearn has continued to doubt whether that was the case.

It hasn’t taken long for Benn’s future to be decided, after it was confirmed that the British star will continue to work with Zuffa and White after signing a new multi-fight promotional deal with the company.

CONOR BENN IS BACK 🥊

It’s official! @ConorNigel has signed a NEW deal with Zuffa Boxing!

With his new deal in place, Benn shared his delight at the announcement.

“Just signed a new multi-fight deal [that] I’m very excited about. Our visions are aligned. Our goal remains the same. Let’s get that world title and more importantly give people the fights that they want, give people the mega fights. If you guys want it you guys can get it.”

White also spoke out on the deal.

“Conor and I just signed a new deal here after his one fight deal. We’re excited to have him. We’re ready to put on some big fights. Welcome to Zuffa Boxing Conor Benn.”

Benn now looks set to head into a WBC welterweight title fight against Ryan Garcia, with the bout looking likely to take place this August.

Coventry City boss Frank Lampard described his side’s promotion back to the Premier League after 25 years away as a “unique” achievement.

The Sky Blues secured a top-two finish in the Championship with three games to spare courtesy of a 1-1 draw at struggling Blackburn Rovers.

“To go and get promotion automatically as a non-parachute [payment] team with three games to go… these boys have managed to achieve something special and unique,” Lampard told Sky Sports.

“This is what it’s about. Coming here and getting a point at this stage isn’t easy.”

He added: “Doing this after 25 years… wow.

“The resilience to come back after losing in the play-offs (last season to Sunderland). We spoke in the summer about what we could do this season and whether we could finish third or fourth to get a home play-off in the second game which we didn’t do last year.

“It’s such a good feeling that the boys have managed to get it over the line.”

The former Chelsea and England midfielder, 47, took over at the CBS Arena in November 2024 for his first job outside the top flight since a season at Derby in 2018-19.

An emotional Lampard, who also credited the “incredible” job his predecessor Mark Robins had done, said he had “fallen in love” with the club during his time in the Midlands and ranked leading Coventry back to the top flight alongside his many accolades as a player.

“I’m proud of myself and the staff,” he said.

“We came into a bit of an unknown 15 or so months ago when we arrived in a people carrier.

“We’ve fallen in love and this is right up there with what I have achieved.

“I’m very proud to be the manager.”

Barrier 11 has trainer Chris Waller pondering if Jokers Grin should begin his autumn in the Hall Mark Stakes at Randwick or adhere to the backup plan of going directly north to Queensland.

This former Perth flyer was last fifth across the line in the Group 1 Winterbottom Stakes (1200m) of November and lines up for a stable debut in Saturday’s Hall Mark Stakes (1200m), the autumn carnival’s last hurrah.

Waller intends to evaluate the drawback of the outer gate before deciding, aware that the five-year-old gelding previously conquered wide positions in the prior year’s The Quokka (1200m) and Colonel Reeves Stakes (1100m) from Ascot.

“His draw isn’t very good, but his owners were quick to point out he has run some really good races from wide draws, and he is a ‘get-back’ horse,” Waller said.

“I’ll have a good look at the field and the race, and if we think he’s a genuine winning chance or top three chance, we’ll be running him.

“If I think he needs another two weeks based on the set up of the race, we might wait two weeks. But at this stage he’s running.”

The Sydney autumn program wasn’t the initial pathway for Jokers Grin, who was destined for Brisbane races alone.

Queensland targets persist strongly, with the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 (1200m) on May 16 and Kingsford Smith Cup (1300m) at Eagle Farm a couple of weeks on.

“We intended to go to Queensland with him for a Group Two race in two weeks’ time, but he is come up a bit quicker than I thought, which is good,” Waller said.

“I think he can get to a race like the Doomben 10,000 and Kingsford Smith. They’re my two target races, and then hopefully he’s done enough to show he can get ready for the good ones in the spring.”

Waller noted Jokers Grin’s seamless settling in, with light handling during barrier trials.

Encouragement comes from his edge over stablemate Generosity in the Quokka where she was third, later winning Challenge Stakes (1000m) and running close fifth in Group 1 Galaxy (1100m).

“It’s good form. Even Generosity has form around him too, and she has come over and franked that form,” Waller said.

Waller’s history with WA stars features Come Play With Me taking the 2019 Metropolitan (2400m) and Arcadia Queen the Theo Marks Stakes (1300m), securing a 2019 The Everest (1200m) spot.

Canelo Alvarez’s longtime trainer and manager, Eddy Reynoso, has effectively dismissed the likes of David Benavidez and Dmitry Bivol as potential opponents.

Instead, the Mexican is set to face a super-middleweight world champion in his next outing, which takes place in Saudi Arabia on September 12.

This will mark his first assignment since losing a unanimous decision to Terence Crawford, who relieved him of his undisputed crown in September 2025.

It was an exceptional performance that saw Crawford move up two weight divisions and dethrone Alvarez, shortly before calling time on his glittering career.

But now, it appears that Canelo is determined to reclaim at least one of his major titles at 168lbs, with WBC champion Christian Mbilli representing a possible option.

Two fighters that have been removed from the equation, meanwhile, are Benavidez and Bivol, the respective WBC and unified world champions at 175lbs.

Since losing a unanimous decision to Bivol in 2022, Canelo has repeatedly expressed an openness to enter a light-heavyweight rematch with the Russian.

As for Benavidez, who challenges unified cruiserweight champion Gilberto Ramirez on May 2, Alvarez has been far less vocal about their much-talked about encounter.

Team Canelo, however, have now reached a stage where neither champion is included in their plan, as Reynoso has told Elie Seckbach that the 35-year-old will instead remain at 168lbs.

As mentioned, WBC champion Mbilli seems like the frontrunner, while the winner of Hamzah Sheeraz vs Alem Begic – which takes place for the vacant WBO title on May 23 – could also emerge as a potential option for Alvarez.

Finn Balor will be in action against Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania 42. The latter has admitted that he also has demons of his own that he plans on introducing.

The feud between Mysterio and Balor officially began after the former Universal Champion was booted out of The Judgment Day. Mysterio blamed Balor after he lost the Intercontinental Championship to Penta.

Appearing at the WrestleMania 42 Kickoff Show, Mysterio admitted that he was initially cautious of The Demon, but then got reminded of his own demons. He even stated that Balor has never gone face-to-face with his former stablemate’s demon.

“I was a bit cautious of the Demon… then I remembered who I am. I’m Dirty Dom. Finn Balor has never gone face-to-face with my Demon. I’ve got a few demons of my own.” Mysterio said.

Finn Balor thinks that WrestleMania 42 will be very painful for Dominik Mysterio

Finn Balor will be out for revenge against Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania 42. The veteran has warned “Dirty” Dom and admitted that he shouldn’t have trusted Mysterio in the first place.

Speaking on ESPN, Balor said that he couldn’t describe in words regarding The Demon’s return to WWE, but he will make sure that WrestleMania 42 turns out to be “very painful” for Mysterio. Balor said:

“It is not something that I can really describe in words. It is a feeling. It is an emotion. It is an energy. And it is something that I can only tap into very occasionally. It can be very draining. But trust me, it is going to be very painful for Dominik Mysterio,”

Mysterio is the reigning AAA Mega Champion and still has one title around his waist. For a very long time, he was a double champion before dropping the Intercontinental Championship to Penta.

Last year at WrestleMania 41, Mysterio won the Intercontinental Championship for the first time by winning a Fatal Four-Way Match, also involving Balor.
