This weekend was the Kentucky Derby, and on the historic 150th running of this race, Mystik Dan delivered a breath-taking win, beating second place Sierra Leone and third place Forever Young in the first three horse photo finish since 1947 ended in a 3-horse photo finish. This year's race marks a unique milestone with the 150th running of the Derby — the first race took place back in 1875. There are lots of interesting facts about the Derby, with the drink of the race is the Mint Julep, made with Woodford Reserve as the official bourbon for the race. There wasn’t an official trophy for the race for almost 50 years, the first race was in 1875 and the trophy was created in 1924. To this day the Kentucky Derby trophy is one of the only solid gold trophies in the United States. The fastest Kentucky Derby was run by Secretariat in 1973 (1:59.40). The slowest winning time was run by Kingman in 1891 (2:52.25 for the mile and a half). There have been three fillies to win the race. I love the Kentucky Derby not only because it’s exciting, but also because it always provides important leadership lessons. Here are a few from the 2024 race: You can win against all odds. You just never know. You can’t stop until the end. This was an exciting race to watch, and even more interesting doing research on the history of the Derby as well as the winner. If you have something interesting to add to the lore of the Kentucky Derby, drop it in the chat. Don’t forget to like, comment, and follow so you don’t miss future content.

Semi-Final night in the Surveyors Cup 👀 Under the bright lights of Shepherd’s Bush we were treated to not one but two thrilling semi-finals. The highlights 📸 Knight Frank 8-9 Colliers An enthralling encounter unfolded as Knight Frank took the lead, but Colliers showcased resilience, making it a nail-biting, tight game. Is Saxby becoming the new Smith, with a flurry of bangers? Rhoden from Colliers dictated play, putting in an impressive shift. It was neck and neck throughout as both sides had their share of chances. As we entered the second half we saw a resurgence from Knight Frank which saw them take the lead. But there were strategic shifts for Newborough & Griffith, who transitioned from CBs to scorers and creators, reminiscent of Akanji and Stones. A testament to their versatility and impact on the pitch 🌟 No Smith, no problem. Colliers through to the final ✅ JLL 13-14 Lambert Smith Hampton Another gripping cup game and LSH wasted no time establishing a lead thanks to a wonderful solo goal from the gaffer, Gillespie. This set the tie up nicely and JLL needed to respond. Their response? Release the magic man from between the sticks. Parker's scoring prowess turned the tide. This semi-final hung in the balance and really could have gone either way but it was LSH who booked their place in the final. That’s a wrap. Surveyor Cup Final 🏆 Colliers vs. LSH Will LSH stop Colliers from defending their crown? Until next time, SECTA #football #london #surveyors

HOW DO YOU SPOT THE WIN? I’m always thrilled to see my husband and his team celebrate a win. Eddie Howe at Newcastle United brings every person in their team - not just those on the pitch but those who contribute to the win behind the scenes - together to celebrate. It always puts a smile on my face spotting my husband amongst these joyous faces. it got me thinking about how we celebrate success in our own workplaces. The win isn’t always obvious to me - well not as clear as a 4-0 win against Tottenham! I know I can get better at this so looking to learn what works for others. For me, currently it’s: - being aware of the success by using data and insight - that helps me spot what’s working - whether it's a big win or a small one, acknowledging it together - saying thankyou How do you celebrate success in your workplace? #teamwork #success #celebrate (Image: NUFC)
