There’s a decent weekend’s racing in store with jumping action taking place at Ascot, Haydock and Huntington. There are 3 flat all weather meets at Lingfield, Kempton and Wolverhampton, the latter 2 going ahead under lights. Cheltenham’s Gold Cup hero Kauto Star returns to action in a potentially mouth watering renewal of the Betfair Chase. Can he fend of the Irish challenge of Notre Pere?

With the ground at Haydock currently riding soft (heavy in places) one has to fancy Notre Pere to turn over Kauto Star in the Betfair Chase. Notre Pere will jump and stay every inch of the stamina sapping 3 miles round Haydock but will Kauto Star? I can see this race turning into a right old slog and I’m going to put forward Notre Pere to turn over last years Cheltenham hero. Read More

England v All Blacks Betting

Very hard to see Engerland doing a job on the All Blacks. Poor Martin Johnson essentially has a group of players that are not great and he is telling them to do stuff and just can’t quite understand why they are not able to do it.

Watching him in the stand is quite funny actually. He can’t believe what his team are doing. Johnson is used to playing with World class players and playing on brilliant teams, whether it was for club or country, but now he finds himself landed amongst a bunch of players that only 2 would be guaranteed a place on the Irish team (Wilkinson is a different class to O’Gara and Shaw is a different class to O’Callaghan). So the problem Johnson has is that he is 13 players short of beating Ireland which means that he is probably 15-20 points short of getting close to NZ. Read More

Premier League Betting

Following a controversial round of World Cup play-off matches we return to Premier League action this weekend with Manchester City’s trip to Liverpool the stand out game.

Both side’s are not in the best of form at the minute and despite suggestions before the season started that a title challenge was not beyond either neither side look poised to make that move. Read More

Now, had I picked Slovenia and New Zealand instead of Bosnia and New Zealand to qualify for the World Cup Finals I’d be sitting here having made a tasty profit. Still, it’s nice to see some underdogs at the Finals, even if they did win at the expense of a very, very dubious goal…. Read More

Whilst this year may be the first ATP World Tour Finals, the tournament has actually been existence in various guises since Stan Smith won the Masters Grand Prix event back in 1970. The event became the Tennis Masters Cup in 2000 where it first appeared in its current format and from 2009 it moves to the O2 Arena London and will combine both the ATP singles and doubles events.

Qualification for the event this year went down to the final tournament in Paris with the Spaniard Fernando Verdasco claiming the final spot at the expense of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. He joins Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, Juan Martin del Potro, Novak Djokovic and Nikolay Davydenko at the showpiece event. A late addition to the tournament was Swede Robin Soderling who was called up after world number six Andy Roddick was forced to withdraw with a knee injury. Read More
