P R Sreejesh’s stint as India junior men’s hockey coach has ended after 17 months, but his exit has now led to questions and differing claims from both the former goalkeeper and Hockey India.Sreejesh’s contract ended after he guided India to a bronze medal at the Junior World Cup held in Chennai and Madurai last year. He reapplied for the role, but Hockey India did not renew his contract.On Thursday, Hockey India officially appointed Frederic Soyez as the new junior men’s team coach.The federation said there was nothing unusual about the decision and maintained that the process was carried out properly.However, Sreejesh said on social media that he was ignored to make way for a foreign coach allegedly preferred by senior men’s coach Craig Fulton.The issue has also reportedly caused mixed reactions among players.“Some players of the junior team were not happy with Sreejesh’s working style, they couldn’t reach him when needed over phone when camps were not in progress,” a source was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.Hockey India president Dilip Tirkey said the decision was part of a long-term plan linked to India’s preparations for the 2036 Olympics.“We have not fired Sreejesh. His contract expired in December 2025 and we followed the due process of and advertised for the position. He also applied and applicants were short-listed and finalised as per a proper selection process basis merit,” Tirkey said.“We never wanted him to come out of the coaching programme, we offered him to lead the developmental programme, India A and beyond that. Besides that we offered him to guide our goalkeepers at the national level with his vast experience, but he refused,” he added.“But the doors are always open for him and other Indian coaches.”Sreejesh moved directly from playing to coaching despite having no formal coaching experience at the time of his appointment.Having played under several foreign coaches during his career, including Roelant Oltmans, Terry Walsh, Graham Reid and Craig Fulton, his criticism of Hockey India’s preference for a foreign coach has also drawn attention.Tirkey denied that Fulton had any role in the appointment process.“We have never conveyed to him that the chief coach of the men’s team has given a preference to appoint a foreign coach for the junior side. As a federation, we are collectively working towards the vision of our government to build a pathway towards 2036 and a big part of that process is to develop our Indian coaching talent.”Apart from coaching, Sreejesh is also the mentor and director of Hockey India League franchise Delhi SG Pipers.

The Manchester United midfielder started his first game in months in the 0-0 draw at Sunderland, drawing criticism from former Liverpool star Michael Owen

Mason Mount’s father has hit out at Michael Owen, calling him a fool for his assessment of the Manchester United midfielder, who made his first start in five months against Sunderland last weekend. Mount played the full 90 minutes at the Stadium of Light after taking no part in the previous match – the 3-2 win over Liverpool.

The 27-year-old, who joined from Chelsea for £60million in 2023, has seen his time in the northwest heavily disrupted by injuries, limiting him to just 70 appearances across nearly three seasons. This season, Mount first picked up a knock in December, ruling him out of two games, before another setback sidelined him for six matches between February and March.

He returned to the squad for the 3-1 win over Aston Villa in March, but had played just 26 minutes of football until last weekend.

Five months on since his knock at the back end of last year, he was handed the nod by Michael Carrick, starting in the goalless draw against the Black Cats last Saturday. Owen, speaking on Sky Sports’ coverage, stated that the midfielder has failed to justify the club’s significant investment.

“Mason Mount is working hard, but right now he’s not performing anywhere near the level Manchester United expected when they signed him,” he said. “He looks a little slow in possession, a bit laggy in transitions, and he’s not really influencing the game enough in midfield.

“You can clearly see United are missing players like Casemiro in the middle of the park because there’s no real control or authority there.

“And even someone like Benjamin Sesko helps the structure with his movement and presence higher up the pitch. At the moment, Sunderland look more energetic and sharper in midfield areas. Manchester United need more intensity and personality from Mount because games like this demand it.”

Manchester United have launched their new home kit for the 2026/27 season, inspired by the club’s heritage and featuring a classic polo collar with iconic adidas details.

The former Liverpool striker’s analysis drew a sharp response from Mount’s father, Tony, who highlighted his son’s long road back to fitness as the main reason behind any perceived rustiness.

“Maybe not starting a game for five months has something to do with looking rusty. Owen, you fool,” he wrote on Instagram.

Meanwhile, Mount remains confident in the contribution he can make to this United side.

“I will always back myself. I know what I’m about and what I can bring,” he previously told the BBC. “I love being a part of a massive club. It’s my third season and it’s flown. I’m a bit older now and I’ve got a bit more experience. There are going to be a lot more games next season.

Sky Sports, HBO Max, Netflix and Disney+ with Ultimate TV package

Sky has upgraded its Ultimate TV and Sky Sports bundle to now include HBO Max, Netflix, Disney+, discovery+ and Hayu, as well as 135 channels and full Sky coverage of the Premier League and EFL.

Sky broadcasts more than 1,400 live matches across the Premier League, EFL and more with at least 215 live from the top flight alongside Formula 1, darts and golf.

“Being a part of getting this club back to the top, where it deserves to be, is super special. I’ve had a little taste of winning something with the club, in the FA Cup. That was unbelievable. To do a Premier League? I can’t even imagine how special that would be.”

Carrick, meanwhile, is an admirer of the player and has highlighted the importance he has to the team. “He is certainly a team player,” said the United interim head coach.

“He is a player that I really like, and there is loads to come from Mason, we’ve just got to give him the time to get fit again and be patient with that, but he is certainly in a good place right now.”

Mount’s future, however, could be affected by United’s summer business, with the club keen to add at least two new midfielders. The likes of Carlos Baleba, Matues Fernandes, Elliot Anderson, Adam Wharton and Atalanta’s Ederson have all been linked as possible targets.

The year’s second major, the 2026 PGA Championship, is off and running. There are 156 players in the field, including 20 club professionals, all of whom are hoping to lift the Wanamaker Trophy on Sunday evening.

The first round tees off with an number of intriguing storylines to follow. Here are five things to know for Thursday at Aronimink.

The defending champ

Scottie Scheffler won last year’s PGA Championship at Quail Hollow by a whopping five shots and is the prohibitive betting favorite this year — a mantle he’s assumed for every tournament he’s played in for the better part of the last three years. And while the World No. 1 is already having a pretty stellar season, with a win and five other top 10s — including three straight runner-ups — in nine events, there are others who could arguably match that momentum this week. Who, exactly? Read on …

Rory, Cameron and others

Who are those players who could challenge Scottie this week? The list seems more extensive than usual! Masters champion and freshly-minted career grand slam winner Rory McIlroy is one; Players and Cadillac Championship winner Cameron Young is another; and three-time winner Matt Fitzpatrick (Valspar Championship, RBC Heritage, Zurich Classic) rounds out a formidable threesome of opponents. (Fitzpatrick also finished runner-up to Young at the Players).

Needless to say, this week appears to be set to be quite an epic clash of the titans.

What about the LIV players?

Given the uncertainty surrounding LIV Golf and it’s future, the spotlight is shining particularly brightly on its two biggest stars: Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, who are among a cohort of 11 total LIV competitors in this week’s field at Aronimink. DeChambeau has finished runner-up in the last two PGAs and was T4 in 2023; Rahm’s best PGA finish was T8 last year, and in 2021.

Michael Block

Michael Block, the club pro who became an everyman star when he finished T15 at the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill, is back in the field this week, marking the eighth time he’s qualified for the PGA Championship. The 2023 performance marked the only time he’s ever made the cut.

Forecast

The morning wave of tee times could encounter intermittent showers on Thursday. According to AccuWeather, conditions are expected to be cloudy with a high of 65°F and low of 47°F, with winds up to 13 mph winds.

Oba Femi has spoken about how his church community in Lagos helped him move to the United States and begin his journey to becoming a WWE star.

The wrestler, whose real name is Isaac Odugbesan, made this known during an interview with Stephanie McMahon on the What’s Your Story? podcast.

Before becoming one of WWE’s rising stars, Oba Femi said life was difficult for him in Lagos and he faced challenges at home.

The former University of Lagos student explained that his church, Grace Assembly, and his pastor, Femi Paul, played a major role in supporting him financially and emotionally.

“My pastor was a very respectable man,” Femi said. “When there were problems between me and my dad, he would step in and advise me.”

The WWE star said members of the church came together to raise money to help him travel to America.

“As a matter of fact, my entire church community came together to raise money when I was coming over to the States. Shout out to Grace Assembly,” he said.

Femi also said Pastor Paul taught him important values, including respecting his parents and staying focused in life.

“He told me never to disrespect my parents. Femi Paul was a huge inspiration for me,” he added.

The Lagos-born wrestler is currently enjoying a strong rise in WWE after several impressive performances. His recent victory over Brock Lesnar has further increased his popularity in the wrestling world.

Oba Femi has now become one of the fastest-rising stars in WWE, with many fans praising his strength, confidence and performances in the ring.

Despite his growing fame, the Nigerian star said he still remembers the support and sacrifices made by his church community back in Lagos.

With just nine days to go until Oleksandr Usyk defends the WBC heavyweight world title against Rico Verhoeven, the WBA have decided to allow him to defend their belt also.

Whilst recognised as a Dutch kickboxing legend, Rico Verhoeven boasts a professional boxing record of just 1-0; that victory coming over 12 years ago against the then 0-5 recorded, Janos Finfera. 

As a result, when his unconventional showdown with Usyk was announced, the undefeated Ukrainian’s belts were not expected to be at stake, but whilst the WBA and IBF’s stance was unclear, the WBC controversially agreed to sanction the contest as a heavyweight world title bout.

This led to speculation that WBA and IBF could strip Usyk of their titles, with Murat Gassiev [WBA] and the victor of Frank Sanchez’s fight with Richard Torrez Jr. [IBF] likely to benefit and either be elevated to champion or positioned for a vacant title bout with the respective bodies.

However, in an intriguing but confusing twist, the WBA have suddenly announced their terms for the ‘title fight’ after a ‘special request’. Now, they have determined that a Usyk victory will count as a successful title defence but that, if Verhoeven were to pull off the remarkable upset, ‘the WBA Championship Committee would then review his [Usyk’s] status’. 

“Should Usyk emerge victorious, the bout will officially count as a successful title defense. If the champion were to lose, the WBA Championship Committee would then review his status and determine the next course of action regarding the heavyweight championship.”

Therefore, whilst Usyk can officially retain his WBA heavyweight world title with a triumph next Saturday, the unranked Verhoeven will be unable to claim that belt.

Although, the WBA have revealed that a Verhoeven win would make him eligible to enter their heavyweight ratings.

Aronimink Golf Club will host its second major when the 2026 PGA Championship begins on Thursday morning in Pennsylvania. Gary Player won the 1962 PGA Championship at Aronimink, while the course also hosted the 2018 BMW Championship. Keegan Bradley won that tournament in a playoff over Justin Rose, while Rory McIlroy finished fifth. McIlroy is coming off a major win at Augusta, and he is a two-time PGA Championship winner. 

However, Scottie Scheffler is the defending champion, and he is the +480 favorite in the 2026 PGA Championship odds. McIlroy (+850) is the only other golfer inside of 10-1, while Cameron Young (12-1), Jon Rahm (13-1) and Xander Schauffele (18-1) are next on the PGA odds board. Bradley is a 125-1 longshot even though he won the last PGA Tour event played at Aronimink. Scheffler is set to tee off alongside Justin Rose and Matt Fitzpatrick at 2:05 p.m. ET on Thursday. Claim the latest DraftKings promo code, where new users get $100 in bonus bets instantly after your first $5 wager:

2026 PGA Championship odds

Here is the field for the 108th PGA Championship. A maximum of 156 golfers will tee it up at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. Click on the odds to wager now.

PGA Championship betting: Scottie Scheffler

Scottie Scheffler has spent almost exactly three years sitting atop the Official World Golf Ranking and with a sizable lead on No. 2 Rory McIlroy and more than double the points of No. 3 Cameron Young, he won’t be giving up that spot any time soon. The 20-time PGA Tour winner is a four-time major champion, which includes a PGA Championship victory last season at Quail Hollow. He won earlier this year at The American Express and he’s also finished solo second in each of his last three PGA Tour starts. His five-shot win in the 2025 PGA Championship was the largest since McIlroy won by eight in 2012.

PGA Championship betting: Rory McIlroy

McIlroy is coming off his second consecutive win in Augusta, so he’ll enter the second major of the year full of confidence. He’s made just one start since that victory, finishing T-19 last week at the Truist Championship. McIlroy is known for his explosive length off the tee, a big reason why he enters this week’s event ranked first in strokes gained: off the tee (0,854). However, the 37-year-old has been inconsistent with a putter in his hands this season, ranking 105th in strokes gained: putting (-0.177), 114th in putts per round (28.91) and 129th in one-putt percentage (38.89%). 

PGA Championship betting: Bryson DeChambeau

The runner-up in each of the last two PGA Championships, Bryson DeChambeau has already won twice this season and is coming off a third-place finish in his most recent start. He’s now a 16-time winner worldwide, and his two major championship wins both came at the U.S. Open (2020 and 2024). DeChambeau has now been top five in four of his last five starts at the PGA Championship, but he has missed the cut in two of the last three majors he’s played.

PGA Championship betting: Jon Rahm

Rahm is a two-time major champion, but the PGA Championship has been his least successful major. He has finished outside the top 10 in six of his nine appearances, and he has not finished inside the top five since 2018. The Spaniard did card a top-10 finish last year with a T8, though. 

PGA Championship betting: Cameron Young

Young enters the 2026 PGA Championship as one of the hottest golfers on the PGA Tour. Young has already picked up two victories this season, and has finished T-10 or better in six of his past seven starts. He’s been able to secure those positive results thanks to his elite ball-striking ability. The 29-year-old ranks second in strokes gained: total (1.693), sixth in strokes gained: off the tee (0.644) and 21st in strokes gained: approach the green (0.449). Young has yet to win a major, but he could certainly find himself in contention this week at Aronimink. 

PGA Championship betting: Jordan Spieth

Spieth is making his tenth attempt at completing the career grand slam, but his PGA Tour win drought is over four years old. He has not won an event since the RBC Heritage in 2022 after winning 14 events from 2013-17. His last six PGA Championship attempts have not gone well, as he has finished outside the top 25 in each of those tournaments. Spieth is one of 11 golfers with exactly three legs of the career grand slam, and he is one of three golfers without the PGA Championship. 

PGA Championship betting: Xander Schauffele

Schauffele recorded his first major championship victory at the PGA Championship in 2024. He seems to play his best in majors, and is extremely consistent on the biggest stages, finishing inside the top 30 in 16 consecutive major appearances. Schauffele will enter the 2026 PGA Championship full of confidence, having finished T-12 or better in four of his past five starts. 

PGA Championship betting: Brooks Koepka 

Koepka is one of six golfers with at least three PGA Championship wins, as he won the event in 2018, 2019 and 2023. He has the most major wins (5) by any golfer since 2017. However, he has finished outside the top 10 in all 11 major starts since winning the 2023 PGA Championship, the longest such streak of his career. Koepka has the lowest cumulative score to par (-52) in PGA Championship history.

PGA Championship betting: Justin Thomas

Thomas is eager for another major title, as he has not won a major since winning the PGA Championship for the second time in 2022. In fact, his lone top-25 finish at a major since then came when he finished T8 in the 2024 PGA Championship. Thomas is a former World No. 1 looking for a resurgence at Aronimink Golf Club.  

PGA Championship betting: Matt Fitzpatrick

Fitzpatrick is arguably the hottest golfer in the world right now, racking up three wins since the middle of March. He took down the Valspar Championship before winning the RBC Heritage in a playoff. Then, he teamed up with his brother to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans a week later. Now, Fitzpatrick will try to carry that momentum into the second major of the year as he eyes his second major title (2022 U.S. Open).

PGA Championship betting: Ludvig Aberg

Aberg is still relatively fresh on the PGA Tour scene, but expectations are still sky high due to his talent. He carded back-to-back top-10 finishes in Augusta in 2024 and 2025, although those remain his only top-10 finishes at majors. Aberg missed the cut in his previous two appearances at the PGA Championship. He has six top-25 finishes this season, including four top-five finishes.  

PGA Championship betting: Tommy Fleetwood

Fleetwood is considered one of the sport’s best golfers who has never won a major championship, as he has 11 professional wins, including the Tour Championship last year. He has seven top-five finishes in majors, including a runner-up at both the 2018 U.S. Open and 2019 Open Championship. Fleetwood has gone without a top-10 finish in his last eight majors though, including a T41 at the PGA Championship last year.

Course preview: Aronimink Golf Club

Aronimink Golf Club was founded in 1896 and boasts a rich history of hosting golf’s biggest stars. Aronimink has hosted the PGA Championship in 1962, which was won by Gary Player, the 1977 U.S. Amateur, and the 2003 KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship. Aronimink also served as the site of the PGA Tour’s AT&T National in 2010 and 2011. In 2018, the BMW Championship was played at Aronimink, and in 2020, Aronimink became the first venue to stage each of the PGA of America’s three rotating major championships after hosting the 2020 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.

Designed by Donald Ross, Aronimink features a historic course that has been renovated to its original glory. However, the 18 original greens have been unaltered since opening in 1928, and they feature bold spines and ridges that can make reading the green extremely difficult. 

Aronimink is a course that rewards precision, featuring rolling fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and classic green complexes that demand precise shot-making. There are more than 170 bunkers placed strategically on Aronimink, giving the course an intimidating appearance throughout. 

Playing at nearly 7,400 yards, Aronimink is a par-70 that will test even the best golfers in the world. The course layout at Aronimink is balanced with shorter holes that will require accuracy and strategic shot-making. The last time Aronimink hosted the PGA Championship (1962), the winning score was 2-under par. At the 2018 BMW Championship, Keegan Bradley beat Justin Rose in a playoff after the duo shot 20-under par.

PGA Championship betting options and wagers

Outright winner

This is the main market for golf betting, as bettors simply wager on who they think will win the tournament. For example, a $100 bet on Scheffler (+425) last year paid out $525.  

Winner without

If you want to wager on someone lower on the odds board, you can choose to remove a selected golfer or group of golfers. Your wager then has action without the golfers who have been removed, and the odds are recalculated.  

Big guns vs. field

This allows bettors to wager on multiple golfers at once, often combining stars like Scheffler, McIlroy and Rahm against everyone else in the field. It is generally a two-way market at most sportsbooks, so bettors can take the field or the “big guns.” 

Each way

An each way bet combines an outright winner bet with a placement bet. The wager amount is doubled into two bets, with one bet on the outright price and the other bet on their chances to finish in the top five. 

Top finish

Almost all sportsbooks offer top finish/placement odds, which allow bettors to wager on a golfer to finish in the top five, top 10, top 20, etc. Some sportsbooks include ties and others don’t, so it is important to check the dead-heat rules before placing one of these bets.  

First-round leader

This is a popular way to get involved in the action on Thursday, but the 18-hole sample size also creates more volatility. Golfers who are known for starting hot might be worth a wager in this market instead of the outright market. Dead-heat rules apply here as well, so be sure to verify those rules at your sportsbook.  

Head-to-head matchups

While not every golf tournament has head-to-head matchups, the majors always have plenty of these to choose from. Tournament matchups apply to all four rounds, while round matchups are just for that day’s action. 

Three balls

If you want to wager on a golfer to score better than two other golfers, three balls are the way to go. They operate the same way as matchups, but they offer more attractive odds due to the additional player.

Nationality 

Sportsbooks group players of the same nationality together for this wagering option, posting odds for who will finish highest at the end of the tournament. There are more golfers to sort through for categories like top American and top European, while top Swede or top Korean might only have a few options. 

Tournament props

Tournament specials are available at the major sportsbooks, with offerings like whether someone will make a hole-in-one. Other golf props include the over/under for winning score or whether there will be a wire-to-wire winner. 

Make/miss cut

The cut line is heavily discussed during the first two days of the tournament, and at least several stars tend to miss the cut in every major. Finding the right ones can result in a strong plus-money payout, while finding a longshot to make the cut offers the same opportunity.  

Hole scores/winner

Hole bets are available throughout each round, with bettors able to wager on the exact score for a golfer or who will finish with the best score on a particular hole out of the group. Monitoring the course conditions and pin placements is critical for hole betting.  

PGA Championship records

The PGA Championship was established in 1916, with match play until 1957 before stroke play took over in 1958. The tournament has been held at various venues, so records are slightly different than Augusta, which hosts the first major every year. 

Most wins

Only two golfers have been able to win the PGA Championship five times, as Walter Hagen won his fifth in 1927 before Jack Nicklaus matched him in 1980. Tiger Woods has four wins, while Koepka is among a group of golfers with three victories.  

Largest margin of victory

McIlroy won the 2012 PGA Championship by eight strokes, shooting a 67 in the second round, 67 in the third round and 66 in the final round. It was his second major title at just 23 years old, and one of the most dominant major performances ever. 

Most runner-up finishes

Nicklaus not only won this tournament five times, but he also finished second on four occasions. He was consistently contending throughout his career, while Hagen, Tom Watson and Greg Norman all had three runner-up finishes. 

Lowest 72-hole score

The lowest 72-hole score was posted by Schauffele just two years ago, as he shot a 21-under 263 in 2024 to edge out Brooks Koepka’s 2018 record by one stroke. Schauffele’s record is not expected to be in danger this weekend, as Aronimink is a challenging course.  

Lowest 18-hole score

Only two golfers have been able to shoot a 62 in one round at the PGA Championship, and both instances occurred the same year. Schauffele shot a 62 in the first round in 2024, while Shane Lowry shot a 62 in the third round. 

Oldest winner

The oldest winner of the PGA Championship is Phil Mickelson, who was 50 when he took home the title in 2021. Mickelson took the lead in the final round and ultimately won by two strokes, becoming the first golfer ever to win a major in his 50s.

Youngest winner

The youngest winner came a century earlier, as Gene Sarazen was just 20 years old when he won in 1922. Sarazen won the title during the match-play era, when players had to win multiple head-to-head matches rather than stroke play. The youngest modern winners are McIlroy (2012) and Woods (1999), who were both 23. 

Wire-to-wire winners

In the modern stroke-play era, six golfers have won in wire-to-wire fashion. Bobby Nichols (1964),Nicklaus (1971), Raymond Floyd (1982), Hal Sutton (1983) and Koepka (2019) each led outright after every round, while Schauffele (2024) was a co-leader after the third round.

Grand Slam winners 

The career Grand Slam consists of four major championships: the Masters, PGA Championship, U.S. Open and Open Championship. Only six golfers have ever completed the career Grand Slam. The first to do so was Gene Sarazen, and the most recent was Rory McIlroy in 2025. 

Rory McIlroy

McIlroy became the latest Grand Slam winner after his triumphant victory over Justin Rose in a playoff in Augusta in 2025. McIlroy successfully defended his title in Augusta in 2026, securing his sixth major championship. McIlroy has won the PGA Championship twice in his career, recording victories in 2012 at Kiawah Island and 2014 at Valhalla Golf Club. 

Tiger Woods 

Woods has recorded 15 career major championship victories, ranking second behind all-time behind Jack Nicklaus. Woods has won the PGA Championship four times in his career, most recently winning in 2007 at Southern Hills. Woods has racked up 82 career victories on the PGA Tour, tied with Sam Snead for the most all-time. Woods last played in the PGA Championship in 2004. 

Jack Nicklaus 

Nicklaus has the most major championship victories of all-time with 18. He completed the career slam three times and finished on top of the leaderboard at the PGA Championship on five separate occasions. Nicklaus played in a record 154 consecutive major championships in his career. 

Gary Player 

Player won nine major championships in his career, spanning from 1959 to 1978. Player was the youngest to complete the modern career Grand Slam at 29 years old. He won the PGA Championship twice, including at Aronimink Golf Club in 1962. Player defeated Bob Goalby by one stroke in 1962, becoming the first non-American to win the PGA Championship. 

Ben Hogan 

Like Player, Hogan won nine major championships during his illustrious career, ranking him tied for fourth all-time. He won the PGA Championship twice (1946 and 1948) and recorded 64 PGA Tour wins from 1938 to 1959.

Gene Sarazen

Sarazen was the first player in history to complete the career Grand Slam. He won the PGA Championship three times (1922, 1923, 1932) and recorded 39 wins on the PGA Tour, including seven majors. Sarazen is also credited with inventing the modern sand wedge, a club he debuted at the 1932 British Open, a tournament he went on to win.

Trainer Gregory Hickman from Warwick Farm holds the reins for Future History’s buildup to the Melbourne Cup.

The stayer will commence his tenure with Hickman in the Group 3 Chairman’s Handicap (2000m) en route to Australia’s marquee staying event in the coming months.

Future History, a past inmate of Ciaron Maher’s stable, recorded 15th position in his 2023 Melbourne Cup effort during an early preparation under Maher.

Hickman revealed part-owner Adam Carney picked up a dominant shareholding in the horse, causing the gelding to shift barns.

“Adam Carney bought a major share of it and Adam and I are friends, so Adam transferred the horse from Ciaron to me,” Hickman said.

“Adam originally bought into the horse because Ciaron put it up that way (the Melbourne Cup) and they had a lot of fun with it.

“He decided to buy one of the other boys out which made him the major shareholder and moved him to me.”

Future History wrapped up his Maher days with a fourth in the Australia Day Stakes at Warwick Farm on January 26, building on three prior Listed successes in a row.

Hickman observed that Future History holds onto lingering sharpness and has done two trials for his Saturday return, while noting ongoing familiarization with the individual.

The gelding’s Saturday showing will guide his forthcoming engagements.

“I think he’s going as well as we can to run first-up, but we’re still learning about the horse,” Hickman said.

“He’s travelled up there well. I think he’s that sort of horse, he’s so relaxed and nothing seems to bother him.

“He’s still got plenty of residual fitness. He only had a short time off. He’s had two trials because he’s a good doing horse and our main goal is the Melbourne Cup, so there’s a long way to go.

“We’ll see what he does on Saturday as to whether he goes around in the Doomben Cup or we wait for something else and then finish up in the Tattersall’s Cup over 2400 (metres).

“We’ve roughly mapped out where we’ve got to go to get into the Melbourne Cup, so he’ll do most of his lead up races to the Cup in Melbourne.”

Nash Rawiller picks up the steed again on Saturday after riding in the two trials.
