andy swiss reports. trail blazer and history maker, yet another unforgettable first for rachael blackmore on a dazzling day of gold cup glory. well, some 70,000 fans flocked here for what is always one of the biggest days in racing. and after last year's gold cup had to be behind closed doors because of covid, the anticipation was greater than ever. in its near 100 year history, no female jockey had ever won the race. but blackmore on a plus tard set off the favourite. as they approached the final fence, last year's winner minella indo led the way but not for long. as blackmore roared past and into the record books. 12 months ago, she was second, this year the most empathetic and emotional of victories. another big race for rachael blackmore! after her grand national win, another landmark moment for blackmore. cheltenham cheering her to the rafters after a victory even she could scaresly take in. i dreamed of riding in cheltenham

one day but never did i ever think i'd be riding favourites and riding winners. it's an incredible place to come in and be involved in. but to get to walk back into the winner's inclusion here is incredible. a day of history on horse back then and for rachael blackmore, another remarkable sporting milestone. andy swiss, bbc news, cheltenham. next, to an incredible game in the premier league tonight where leeds came from 2—0 down at half time to win 3—2 at wolves. the game turned when raul jimenez was sent off. it gave leeds hope, they scored two goals in three minutes before a stoppage time winner here from luke ayling sent the away fans wild. the win moves leeds seven points clear of the relegation zone, though they've played more games than the teams below them. wolves stay eighth. to barbados where it's been a frustrating day for england's cricketers on the third day of their second test against west indies. replying to england's 507—9,

the windies resumed on 71—1. a couple of quick wickets, including this for ben stokes, gave england hope but after that, west indies dug in, captain kraigg brathwaite here hitting an unbeaten century. jermaine blackwood out for 102. the hosts resume tomorrow on 288—4. one other line from that tour to bring you, and its bad news for england fast bowler mark wood who's been ruled out of the rest of the series against west indies. scan results have confirmed he has a right elbow injury and needs to return to the uk for specialist treatment. katarina johnson—thompson was unable to defend her pentathlon title on the first day of the world indoor athletics championships in belgrade. johnson—thompson, competing in her first event since withdrawing from the olympic heptathlon with a leg injury last summer, withdrew ahead of the final discipline, the 800 metres. she said afterwards she's healthy and happy to be competing again. great britain's holly mills finished fourth, with belgium's noor vidts taking the title.

there was a surprise in the big event of the evening though where switzerland's mujinga kambundji produced the joint fourth fastest run ever to upset the field and take gold in the women's 60m, winning in 6.96 seconds. to tennis, where cameron norrie's defence of the men's indian wells title is over, after he was beaten by spain's carlos alcaraz in the quarterfinals. the british number one losing in straight sets. alcaraz, who's 18, will face his childhood idol rafa nadal in the semifinals. meanwhile, emma raducanu is set to make her billiejean king cup debut for britain, when they face czech republic next month. the us open champion joins harriet dart, katie swan and sonay kartal for the tie in prague. it's the start of the new formula one season this weekend in bahrain. the drama resumes again with the race on sunday. reigning champion max verstappen's already impressed in practice today. our sports correspondent natalie pirks was there.

we've had two practice sessions today, red bull and ferrari have been pretty much on top. mercedes is still struggling, george russell, the new driver was fourth and second practice today, hamilton down in ninth. there is a strange phenomenon where mercedes is struggling with the bouncing. the sweeping changes that have been brought into the sport this year, red bull looked like they have got on top of that. i spoke to toto earlier and asked him about his emotions around this car and he said he was not happy at all. they know the car has performance in it but they have not yet tapped into it. it will be interesting to see what happens on sunday. when i spoke to chris bull from red bull, he was talking down any talk of being a favourite. we see these mercedes

cars struggling with regret but we won't know where we are at until qualifying tomorrow night. that will sort the men from the boys and let us know, really, how it could go on sunday. two games in rugby league's superleague tonight. catalans beat hull kingston rovers 18—1o whilst a strong second half performance from salford put more pressure on struggling leeds. salford came from behind at half time to win 26—12. and that's all your sport for now. from the team here, good night. hello. but saturday. a few pockets of fog to clear but otherwise there will be pretty much unbroken sunshine for many. the breeze picks up and but

equally strong and gusty in western and southern areas but for most parts, plenty of sunshine and because the breeze is coming off the north sea coast, the chilly temperatures will be round about ten or 11 celsius, we might get 18 in the north—west of scotland. having had the warmest day of the on friday. the high pressure hangs around for the part two of the new weekend so sunday dawns on a chilly night. some fog around on sunday morning and more cloud in the hours of scilly, cornwall, northern ireland later. and more cloud and showers in east anglia and the south—east. on the whole, a slightly cooler day but plenty of fine weather.
