Monday's Racing
Today, you may be interested to know, is the Ides of March. A day of supposed good fortune in the Roman calendar, unless your name happens to be Julius Caesar. For it was on this day back in 44 BC that the Roman emperor was murdered and the event was dramatised a century and a half later by Shakespeare and hated by school children all over the world pretty much ever since. Hopefully that'll have kept you entertained for a few seconds and brought you that much closer to the first race of Cheltenham! It's like Christmas Eve in here. Make the day go ho-ho-whole lot faster by warming up with today's action from Stratford, Plumpton and Taunton. Don't forget, we also pay out on disqualified winners and official result on all UK & Ireland races.

Liverpool v Portsmouth
Torr-id Times
Guarantees don't carry much weight around Anfield these days and Liverpool fans would have seen little humour in Rafa Benitez' quip ahead ofthe game with Portsmouth. "I think I will have to guarantee now that we will work as hard as we did against Lille." Non-Liverpool fans, who forced themselves to sit through yet another limp Reds display, will be chuckling away at that one. A 4th place finish is looking as likely to materialise as the new stadium they should be playing in by now. The fans are losing faith in the manager and from the way they're performing, it looks as though the players are too. Rumours of Gerrard moving to Madrid and Torres' demands for better players won't help Rafa's popularity. A win over Portsmouth would help but there are no guarantees these days. Mon 8pm ESPN
Notts County v Bournemouth
Nott' About The Money
Responding to claims that he is getting paid £15,000 a week to play for League Two side Notts County, Kasper Schmeichel shrugged off the fuss with a blasé: "It doesn't bother me." Being paid 15 times more than the league average won't harm his insouciant outlook on life. "There's no point wasting energy on things you can't affect, and we're not going to affect decisions that are made at boardroom level," he continued, after getting written assurances that his pay-packet most definitely wouldn't be affected. With at least some of his dad's talent and none of the red nose, Kasper is doing well at Meadow Lan. Playing his part in County's four game winning streak with four clean-sheets. Back him to keep another one against Bournemouth and you could be Kas-hing in. Mon 7.45pm SS1
Champion Hurdle Betting
'whit and Healthy?
Like pretty much every trainer ahead of Cheltenham, Charles Byrnes' assessment of his own horse's chances is about as useful as a jockey in the NBA. "We naturally wouldn't be as confident as we were. That said, we wouldn't be here unless Solwhit was in top form. He seems very well in himself and he never appeared to be as sick as such, but he'll be monitored and at the moment he's a definite runner." Second favourite for the Champion Hurdle, behind fellow Irish raider Go Native, Solwhit's participation was in doubt after an illness which required antibiotics, just over a week before the race, and Byrnes isn't going to know how much it's taken out of him until he runs. Go Native is on course for a £1 million bonus but will his trainer Noel Meade be the one left feeling sick by Solwhit?

It's Wells For Some
It must be nice to be able to retire at 24 and then decide to go back to making millions a year at 26, on a part-time basis. We'd go through the pain of child birth ourselves for that kind of gig, which apparently isn't that much worse than stubbing your toe whilst having a bit of a headache. Though we don't recommend making that comparison in front of any woman who's recently given birth. Like all new parents, Kim Clijsters does like to bang on about her kid and how it's important to balance looking after her daughter and her tennis career. Which translates into only playing the big tournaments. Indian Wells is certainly one of those and the Belgian is already through to the third round. With the money on offer in California, Kim won't be kidding around. Tennis Coupon
