Held annually, the Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing race between crews from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge along a 4.2-mile (6.8\u00a0km) tidal stretch of the River Thames in south-west London.  For the second time in the history of the event, the men&#8217;s, the women&#8217;s and both reserves&#8217; races were all held on the Tideway on the same day. In the men&#8217;s reserve race, Cambridge&#8217;s Goldie were beaten by Oxford&#8217;s Isis, and in the women&#8217;s reserve race, Cambridge&#8217;s Blondie defeated Oxford&#8217;s Osiris.  In the women&#8217;s race, Cambridge won by a large margin following a disastrous start by the Oxford boat.  This win, their second in ten years, took Cambridge&#8217;s advantage in the overall standings to 42\u201330.   The Oxford men&#8217;s boat won their race after leading from the start, their fourth victory in five years, taking the overall record in the event to 82\u201380 in Cambridge&#8217;s favour. The races were watched by around a quarter of a million spectators live, including, for the first time, on YouTube.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Wikipedia article of the day for April 2, 2018 is The Boat Races 2017.
