Michael Chopra And Two Other Footballers Accused Of Betting Corruption [01:18]
The Championship footballers Michael Chopra and James Coppinger and the jockey Andrew Heffernan are among nine individuals who could face long bans from racing after they were charged with serious breaches of the anti corruption rules by the British Horseracing Authority on Thursday.Yogesh Joshee Chopras agent also faces charges along with Mark Wilson a former player with Manchester United Paul Garner a former stable lad Kelly Inglis who is believed to have been Heffernans girlfriend at the time of the offences Douglas Shelley and Pravin Shingadia. The charges against them include offering bribes, exploiting inside information for personal gain and in the case of Heffernan, three charges that he intentionally failed to ensure that a horse was ridden on its merits.The BHA charges follow an investigation into suspicious betting patterns on a number of races at Britain's four all-weather racecourses between November 2010 and March 2011. In all, nine races are at the heart of the BHA's case, including four at Southwell, three at Lingfield and one each at Wolverhampton and Kempton.

1998 Breeders' Cup Mile + Post Race [13:40]
Regardless of the odds it is not wise to dismiss any horse trained by Michael Dickinson. The lesson was manifested dramatically this afternoon as Da Hoss, at 11-1 odds and in only his second start after a 22-month layoff, won the $1 million Breeders' Cup Mile for the second time in three years.

This time, he returned $25.20 for a $2 win ticket. Miesque, a champion in both Europe and North America, won consecutive runnings of the Mile in 1987-88, as did Lure in 1992-93. But in many respects Da Hoss's twin triumphs are more extraordinary, because the only start he made between them was a three-quarter-length victory in allowance company at Colonial Downs in Virginia on Oct. 11. Da Hoss has been plagued with physical problems since he was a foal. ''A fetlock when he was a foal,'' Dickinson said, ''a pair of bone spurs as a yearling, another fetlock in June of last year, some lameness last fall. There have been some vet bills. His groom spends six hours a day with him, massaging ...
