Saturday's Racing
We're not paying homage to today's celebrity birthday boy mainly because he's not with us anymore. And while we'd say he's pushing up the daisies somewhere in the US, Tom Cruise would probably tell us a group of aliens took him to another planet in 1986. On this day in 1911 Scientologist founder L. Ron Hubbard was born and thus began a series of events that would culminate in Cruise jumping up and down on Oprah's sofa. Have faith in your selections and bet on the action from Ayr, Chepstow, Sandown, Wolverhampton and Limerick! Don't forget, we also pay out on disqualified winners and official result on all UK & Ireland races.

We're Well Able For It
Two things immediately strike you when you look at the A-League Preliminary Final. Firstly, that\’s an unnecessarily long name for any game of football. Secondly, the Wellington Phoenix have a very poor record against Sydney FC. The new-comers to Australia's top flight lost all three of their regular season encounters with Sky Blues and the physical treatment dished out to the rookies was particularly noticeable. Leo Bertos says he and his team-mates plan to respond in kind for this game. But wont that lead to problems with the referee? "You have to be smart about it," he reassured us – smart as in not revealing your plans to the media who'll broadcast them to the wider world? The Phoenix will find it tough to book a place in the Grand Final. 9am SS3 & paddypower.com

Spurs v Blackburn Betting
Nothing Stays The Sam-e!
With Big Sam calling out Rafa Benitez in his pre-match press conference with Spurs, Harry Redknapp didn't acquiesce to his inner adolescent and cry "fight, fight, fight". Nor did he want to pick sides as is the schoolyard code so he'll sit on the periphery as football's George McFly, or, for you younger cats, McLovin. The tit-for-tat between the two managers escalated this week but Arry was 'aving none of it. "Everyone plays how they play, they have their own style," the diplomatic geezer said. "I have the way I want to play, Blackburn have their way of playing," he continued, not adding "it's not pretty, but it's effective. A bit like Jordan." It won't be Arrd for Spuirs to outplay Blackburn at White Hart Lane! Sat 12.5pm SS1

The Future's Bleak?
As seems to be the fashion of the day, we're going to do very little talking about football in this story involving a Chelsea player. This time we're focussing on the private life of Frank Lampard. Lamps has been very coy about his budding relationship with a One Show presenter. If that presenter was Adrian Chiles, then maybe we'd understand, but as his current beau is Christine Bleakley, it's a bit harder to fathom. Only a sneaky reflection in a window revealed something was going on between the pair and after Frank described himself as single last month, Ms. Bleakley was less than impressed and demanded more commitment. Could Frank get One over on his old club by bagging 2 or more goals @ 11/2 against West Ham? Sat. 3pm Set. Irl – Premier League Betting

And That's A Rap ...
"Do I worry? Why should I worry? Me worry about it?" Was Tony Mowbray trying to prove Rangers fans' surprisingly witty At Least Barnes Could Rap banner was grossly wrong? That's enough question marks so we'll end the suspense that it was the Celtic manager's rather counter-productive attempt at insisting he's not worried about getting the boot. With the SPL 99.9999% certain of staying in Ibrox, the talk is winning the Scottish Cup is his only hope of keeping the job, but Mowbray isn't worried. Honestly. "I have more concerns me. I don't worry, I have my own worries in life. You've got the wrong guy," he protested too much. He'll have a lot Mow people on his back if the Bhoys don't get the win against Kilmarnock.

6 Nations Betting
Blocking Horns
Be on the lookout for Jonny Wilkinson trying any of his infamous play action fakes at Murrayfield this weekend. And watch out for encroachment on the line of scrimmage while you're at it. No, we don't know what we're talking about either, but Andy Robinson must because he's accused England of using tactics more akin to the NFL than the 6 Nations. Cheating basically. He says the Sweet Chariot has the strange habit of getting in the way and blocking opposition players from making tackles so he wants the ref to be extra vigilant. "We need the referee to be aware of those players who are casually running in front of our players, a bit like American Football," he snitched in advance. Will Scotland be the receivers of the Calcutta Cup by claiming victory? 5pm BBC1 & RTE2
