Sunday's Racing
We had to go all the way back to 1933, avoiding eye-contact with Jasper Carrot at 1945, before we found a celebrity of sufficient fame to worthy a special PP birthday mention. So here's wishing a happy 77th birthday to the legend Michael Caine. "First of all, I choose the great [roles], and if none of these come, I choose the mediocre ones, and if they don't come, I choose the ones that pay the rent," he once said. Which explains Miss Congeniality...and The Hand...and The Jigsaw Man, Zen and Co, The Swarm, Ashanti, etc. Happy birthday though. Give us a Caine-ing on today's racing action from Towcester, Limerick, Navan, Wincanton, Warwick and Market Rasen. Don't forget, we pay out on disqualified winners and official result on all UK & Ireland races.

Man United v Fulham
His Soul Aim
If the Premier League was a Formula 1 race, Liverpool would be desperately trying to ram Manchester United off the track as the Old Trafford side lapped them for the second or third time. As it is, there's little they can do to prevent their fiercest rivals from winning that record 19th title. Alex Ferguson vowed to knock Liverpool of their perch when he took over and he's feeling good about doing it this season. "It would be the 19th title - the most in the league. It doesn't matter who you beat for that record - and we've got a chance," he said this week. Such was his good humour, Sir Fergie even ended on a joke: "Winning this 19th league title is very much in my soul." A soul, that's a good one. Will Fergie be lapping it up after beating Fulham?

France v Italy
It's Not So Easy
The French have been at pains to insist that they'll have to do more than simply show up at the Stade de France if they want to beat Italy and keep themselves on track for the Grand Slam. They'll also need to put their boots on. "We are not taking anything for granted. We know the match against Italy is a potential trap," warned Marc Lievremont, looking to avoid the kind of complacency which could get the demanding Parisian crowd booing and give Italy hope of a massive upset. From what we've seen in this year's Six Nations, if their attitude is right, France could run up a big score over the Italians. "Victory is ours, we absolutely need it. We don't have the right to lose," rallied an intense Malzieu. Will we see an easy French win or a real turn-up for the books? Sun 2.30pm RTE2/BBC1
Dancing On Ice
Fire Starter
Amid rumours that that recently seperated Chirstopher Dean is, let's say, breaking the ice with Dancing On Ice judge Karen Barber, her fellow judge has gotten himself back in the papers by suggesting there may be some truth to the rumours. "There is no smoke without fire, is there?" he coyly questioned. Though we're not sure we'd call them flaming. Gardiner still had some column inches to fill though: "I'd heard talk but I couldn't say either way. All I know is that she is very much there for Torvill and Dean, probably above and beyond what you'd consider normal. Maybe she is just in awe of them. If it's true, the implications are unbelievable. But the skating world is very bizarre." You said it. Who'll be making the stories out on the ice this Sunday? Outright Betting | Next Elimination
Rangers v Dundee Utd
The 'Coist Of Complacency
"Trebles are hard to win," lied said Ally McCoist this week: "We have won absolutely nothing yet. Complacency is something that could put a dent in our hopes of winning trophies and we have to guard against it." Thirteen points clear in a two horse race, it would take a collapse of Greg Norman in the 1996 Masters proportions for Rangers to allow Celtic back in to the title race. So that's one leg of the treble all but in the bag. They're also already in the CIS Cup final, where they'll take on St Mirren and a win over a Dundee United, who were spanked 7-1 on their last visit to Ibrox, will put them in to the semi-finals of the Scottish FA Cup. The treble is looking likely for Rangers but it's not a Dun' deal yet. Sun 12.05pm BBC Scot

Team-ing With Optimism
Is it a great idea or the first signs of insanity? That's enough about the eternal dilemma that is deciding to watch a grand prix because we've got bigger fish to fry – like is having the egos of current world champion Jenson Button and former world champion Lewis Hamilton in the same team a wise move? Hamilton has no concerns and he reckons the team-mates can garner valuable lessons from each other such as Hamilton teaching Button how to bag a Pussycat Doll and Button telling Hamilton the best place in Monaco for Martini. "I have no doubt that there will be things that I can learn from him and things he can learn from me," said Lewis. Don't Cha think Hamilton to victory in the Bahrain GP @ 8/1 is good value?
