Epsom Derby punters threatened with £100 on-the-spot fines under new rules

PUNTERS going to Saturday’s Epsom Derby have been threatened with £100 on-the-spot fines.

A new council order issued in time for the world’s most famous Flat race will aim to crack down on anti-social behaviour.

A public space protection order (PSPO) has been brought in by Epsom & Ewell Borough Council.

It could last up to three years and ties in with the council’s efforts to clamp down on rowdy behaviour during the two-day meeting.

The order applies to anyone harassing or threatening others, or continuing to drink alcohol after being ordered to stop by a police officer, community support officer or council officer.

The order was voted in by the council last month.

It came as one councillor claimed locals were thinking of leaving the area on account of the allegedly ‘intimidating’ behaviour during Derby weekend.

Shanice Goldman, chair of the crime and disorder committee, said: “The PSPO is a new tool specifically for the Epsom & Ewell area which will allow police and appropriate council staff to address anti-social behaviour effectively, without immediately resorting to arrests.

“I hope this order will ensure a more enjoyable experience for everyone on the day, as well as a safer environment in the borough.”

Tens of thousands of racegoers are expected to descend on the Downs on Friday and Saturday.

The Derby, which has been run since 1780, has an enormous prize pool of £1.5million, with the winner picking up £900,000.

It is one of the most prestigious races run anywhere in the world and its list of winners includes the legendary Shergar.

Iconic Irish trainer Aidan O’Brien and Southampton boy Charlie Appleby have the joint-favourites this year in the shape of Delacroix and 1,000 Guineas winner Ruling Court.

However, one of O’Brien’s three runners got a nightmare stall in Wednesday’s draw – read Templegate’s reaction to it here.

This is far from the first time a local authority has attempted a crackdown on behaviour during race week.

In Cheltenham for the jumps festival the council brought in special paint that caused pee to splash back on anyone urinating in public in what was called a ‘war on wee‘.

Manny Pacquiao could not stop crying after announcing retirement as legend, 46, prepares for controversial comeback

MANNY PACQUIAO could not stop crying after failing to cope with being a retired boxer.

The Filipino great hung up his gloves in August 2021 following defeat to Yordenis Ugas.

But after a failed presidential campaign in the Philippines and a couple of exhibition bouts – Pacquiao is returning.

And PacMan – who won honours in EIGHT divisions – opened up on his emotional struggles after retiring from the sport.

He said: “That moment when I announced I was hanging up my gloves four years ago, I was so sad.

“I couldn’t avoid the tears coming out of my eyes. I really missed boxing.

“For however many months, I was like, I’m not a boxer anymore?'”

Pacquiao was beaten in the 2022 presidential election and then failed in a bid for a second run as a senator this year.

So he is now fully focusing on boxing after juggling pugilism with politics throughout his career and retirement.

Pacquiao said: “Right now, the book of politics is closed. It’s not even in my mind. I’m focusing on my career as a boxer again.

“I can still do my job in boxing. I’m not done yet. The fire, the determination, the eagerness to train and work hard, it’s still there. It’s amazing.”

Pacquiao faced Korean YouTuber DK Yoo in a 2022 exhibition in the first sign he was making a comeback.

He then returned last July for another exhibition, against Japanese kickboxer Rukiya Anpo in Tokyo.

And despite not winning since 2019 – SIX YEARS AGO– talks were ongoing behind the scenes for a world title shot.

Before long, it was announced that Pacquiao, at 46, will challenge for Mario Barrios’ WBC welterweight title.

Per WBC rules, a contender must be ranked within their top 15 in order to be eligible for a championship bout.

So it came as little surprise when Pacquiao sneaked back into the WBC’s top five in mid May – despite his absence from the ring.

Boxing’s oldest world champ of all time is Bernard Hopkins, who won a world title aged 49.

And Pacquiao said: “It would mean a lot for me to become world champion again.

“Manny Pacquiao is always giving surprises to the fans. That’s my passion and it’s really important to me.

“I want everyone to be happy with this fight. My goal is to leave a legacy to the boxing fans.

“I want to inspire the young generation who are dreaming of becoming a champion.

“July 19 is gonna be a lot of action. There’s a lot of great fights on this card.

“I know what Barrios is capable of and I know that we can entertain the fans.”
