Rebel's Romance digs deep for Hardwicke honours
Favourite backers will have had few concerns, with Rebel's Romance travelling strongly throughout and he found plenty up the straight to score comfortably by a length and three-quarters from Al Riffa, with Ghostwriter third. Appleby, who had not saddled a Royal Ascot winner since 2022 and had seen well-fancied horses like Notable Speech, Ruling Court, Cinderella's Dream and Treanmor beaten this week, was relieved to get himself into the big-race winner's enclosure. REBEL'S ROMANCE wins The Hardwicke Stakes for Charlie Appleby. Congratulations to connections. — Ascot Racecourse (@Ascot) June 21, 2025 'Rebel's Romance is a worldwide superstar. I've got a picture of this fellow on my bedside table. He means that much to us all,' said the Moulton Paddocks handler. 'He's the only horse I know that you can take to Hong Kong and he'll get you into any bar and restaurant! You can get in anywhere on the back of Rebel's Romance. 'As William says, he's his best friend and they have that great rapport there. You couldn't get two more willing partners together. 'I have to give credit to the team at home. When you have an older horse, to keep them sound and keep them going, for him to have his enthusiasm year after year at this level. 'As they get older they all taper, as we all do, that's expected. He might get a bit slower but his enthusiasm and his heart does not falter one iota.' Rebel's Romance and William Buick return to the winner's enclosure (John Walton/PA) Reflecting on the week, Appleby added: 'You can come here thinking you're fully loaded and have great chances, and you can walk away with excuses, but that's racing. I would like to think that we compose ourselves well, we take it on the chin and then we look forward to moving on. 'Once something comes to Rebel's Romance, he finds. You very rarely get a horse that when it gets into the red, he still goes. 'If there was one horse that you were having to roll your last dice on in this game, it was going to be him. Win, lose or draw he's going to go out there and go out on his sword for you.' Joseph O'Brien was proud of the performance of runner-up Al Riffa, saying: 'Fantastic run, probably unlucky to meet a horse like Rebel's Romance in that race, but we're very proud of our horse, who is a real star for us and he's run his legs off for us again today. 'Hopefully there will be plenty more big days with him to come this season. He's a beautiful horse and he always runs to a rating not too far off 120, and it's hard to find horses like that. 'I wouldn't be against trying a little bit further with him – he's got plenty of stamina in his pedigree. I think we'll probably think outside the box with him a little bit now.' The Clive Cox-trained Ghostwriter was sold for £2million on the eve of the Royal meeting and shaped with plenty of encouragement in his first start in the Amo Racing colours. Kia Joorabchian now owns Ghostwriter (Mike Egerton/PA) Owner Kia Joorabchian said: 'That was the first time at that trip (mile and a half) and I think he has handled that trip very well. 'I'm definitely not disappointed because probably that's one of his best runs ever. Clearly he's got very strong heart and I think he's going to give us a lot of fun.' On what the future holds for the four-year-old, he added: 'He like the (fast) ground so maybe somewhere like America, Australia, those kinds of places he'd relish. 'No decisions from us, but we are very pleased with his run and I think he's managed to prove that the amount that we invested in him was worth it. 'Of course you'd like to win, but being beaten by a horse that has won the Sheema Classic, the Breeders' Cup, big races in Qatar, that horse is a massive horse and I'm happy for Charlie – he's broken his duck before me!'

Love Island fans convinced producers ‘deleted' scenes as feud explodes ‘out of nowhere'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans are convinced show bosses "deleted" scenes leading up to Toni Laites and Emily Moran's shock spat - giving the American a "villain edit." It came as US Islander Toni, 24, and Welsh beauty Emily, also 24, clashed in fiery scenes on Friday, with the former accusing her costar of being nosey on the ITV2 dating series. 6 Love Island fans are convinced show bosses have cut scenes of Toni and Emily's fiery spat Credit: Eroteme 6 Viewers reckon the US bombshell, 24, has been given a 'villain edit' Credit: Eroteme 6 Emily accused Toni of talking behind her back Credit: Eroteme Toni - who arrived as the first bombshell of the series - became annoyed after hearing a conversation between Emily and Conor Phillips, 25. The row then started after Emily accused Las Vegas pool cabana server Toni of talking behind her back. She was then warned by Meg that Toni had said she was being "nosey" and described her as "Little Miss Sunshine." Toni was also seen talking about Emily to Shakira, who agreed with Toni's views. Following their row, an exasperated Emily said she thought Toni was "just trying to cause a problem," and claimed: "She's f****g nuts." Yet after Toni had cemented herself as Love Island 2025 show favourite, fans were quick to smell a rat at her typically uncharacteristic conduct. One took to X to muse: "Toni is so calm and collected so she's peeped something crazy that Emily's done for her to act like that. PRODUCERS NEED TO SHOW US!" A second put: "I'm so confused where this random drama between Toni and Emily has come from?? I swear it's not been referenced at all before now." A third mused: "The cast is unhinged where the HELL did that come from with Toni and Shakira I was gobsmacked." One then added: "Toni's definitely saw something we haven't they're giving us the villain edit." Watch the moment Love Island feud explodes as Toni slams horrified rival in sweary rant Another noted: "Toni's crash out is valid because the producers have edited something we haven't seen, so I still support her!" One then concluded: "Feel like Toni's beef with Emily is so unprovoked???" BULLY BEHAVIOUR? Even though Toni's fans were out in full force, other viewers watching at home accused the Islanders of bullying due to previous instances of her gossiping about Emily without her knowledge. "Toni wanted to be the IT girl so bad and is now just trying anything to stay relevant causing problems when Emily hasn't done anything wrong, when actually she just looks like a bully," wrote one Love Island fan on X, formerly Twitter. Another added: "You all love Toni but last year you all hated Jess saying she was a bully?!?!?!" A third wrote: "Toni is like a school ground bully, poor Emily her and Shakira are 2 b*****s." ROUGH PATCH It comes amid a tricky time for Toni, who caused hysterics with a wardrobe malfunction earlier in the week. Toni hasn't had the easiest ride in the villa overall, and on Wednesday night she was almost dumped from the villa New islander Harrison was faced with choosing between Toni and Malisha, after they both found themselves single in the latest recoupling. They both then went on a date with Harrison, before he chose Toni, meaning Malisha went home. 6 The pair's behaviour was seen as 'unprovoked' Credit: Eroteme 6 Their cat fight stunned the villa Credit: Eroteme

Powys town music lovers enjoys American band's performance
AMERICAN folk music entertained an appreciative crowd at Machynlleth Community Church earlier this month. Hillspring, a new band of musicians from Oklahoma and New Mexico, were in Powys on their first tour together outside the United States. Expressing their love for Wales and its rich musical heritage, they showcased a range of folk and gospel music on themes of longing and hope, interspersing the songs with personal stories of faith. Among the many highlights were beautiful renditions of Take Me Home Country Roads, Down in the River to Pray and a poignant violin solo of Ashokan Farewell by Jay Ungar. The audience was invited to join the musicians in singing Amazing Grace and then meet with them over refreshments in the church hall. The band members received warm applause from everyone present and were thanked for providing a memorable evening of music and song.
