Derby day - 'The greatest flat race in the world'
We go live to Epsom in the South of England where the Derby will be held for the first time behind closed doors. Our racing commentator John Hunt will tell us about the importance of the race and we hear from jockey Oisin Murphy who has overcome many hurdles to ride in the big race today. We speak to Lee Kershaw who is a professional Rugby League player with Wakefield in the Superleague. But, like many, with no sport to play, he’s had to look elsewhere for work, away from the sport he loves. He tells us about his struggles. We should be at Wimbledon for middle Saturday today so we hear from Richard Lewis the Chief Executive of the All England Club about how they have been impacted by the Coronavirus and catch up with Georgian player Sofia Shapatava on how her petition to support lower league tennis players is going. Plus Rufus the hawk's handler Imogen Davis tells us how he is keeping busy and how a baby Rufus may be on the way next year. Plus it is time to call time on the humble whistle? Across sport it marks, the beginning and the end and sometimes the illegal moments in everything from Basketball to american football. But in the age of coronavirus, does the whistle face somewhat of an existential challenge, with worries over the droplets we produce when we… blow?!! Ron Foxcroft has refereed an Olympic basketball final and is the inventor of the electronic whistle, he tells us more..
