Ryan Briscoe takes the poll for the Indianapolis 500 ( 226.484 mph average) [01:13]
The Australian won it with a daring late-afternoon run and a four-lap average of 226.484 mph. Then Briscoe had to wait, watch and wonder if anyone else could beat it. Canadian James Hinchcliffe nearly did. But after going 227.009 on a warm-up lap, the man who had the No. 1 seed in the pole shootout slowed on each succeeding lap. He led Briscoe through three laps but fell to second, the middle of Row 1, after completing his run with a final lap of 226.137. That gave Hinchcliffe a 226.481 average. The 0.003 difference is the narrowest in 500 history. Ryan Briscoe qualifying for Indianapolis 500. Pre race performance

Graham Bradley and Willie Carson cringe [02:08]
Corrupt jockey Graham Bradley, who had admitted in court taking money and other favours from gangster Brian Wright, tries to bluff Andy Davies - without much success. See Willie Carson (who works for the beeb) congratlating Bradley for NOT talking. See also a race official assaulting the journalist for daring to ask uncomfortable questions.
