Horse racing betting: Time to follow the Bear now that rain has hit Newbury

May 12, 2016

What a difference a week makes. Seven days ago we were all preparing for the hottest weekend of the year and the thought of anything other than lightning-fast ground for this Saturday's Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes (3.55pm) at Newbury was unthinkable. However, more than 50mm of rain has fallen on the Berkshire track since Tuesday [...]
Horse racing betting: Frankie Dettori all set for another Flying dismount

May 12, 2016

Connections of last season’s St Leger runner-up Bondi Beach have opted to miss Friday’s Betway Yorkshire Cup (4.05pm) in favour of a tilt at Sunday’s Vintage Crop Stakes back home in Ireland.

As the Premier League’s most memorable season comes to its last weekend, the only thing it could be said to be lacking is a genuinely exciting final day showdown.

No team has ever won every game of a victorious European rugby campaign, but that’s exactly what Saracens intend to do when they take on Racing 92 in the final of the Champions Cup tomorrow.

Hampshire batsman James Vince admits he was shocked after England selectors put him in line for a first Test cap in the opening match of the home series with Sri Lanka next week.

Racing betting: Take an Epsom punt on Port Douglas and Cloth Of Stars

May 11, 2016

With the last of the major Investec Derby trials run at York on Thursday afternoon, I thought it an opportune moment to look at the ante-post market for next month’s Classic. Midterm currently heads the betting at 10/3 with Betway and that price is likely to contract further should he be successful in today’s Dante [...]

Thursday’s Dante Stakes (3.15pm) at York has long been recognised as one of the most important trials for next month’s Investec Derby.

Ryan Bertrand’s secret second career as a fintech entrepreneur – and John Terry is backing his latest venture

May 11, 2016

The history of football’s relationship with technology is a chequered one, from the game’s long resistance to implementing goal-line gadgetry to the tale of former Aston Villa striker Darius Vassell taking a power drill to his toenail in the misguided belief that it would relieve pain. Ryan Bertrand hopes to change that perception. When he is [...]

May 10, 2016

With a 40/1 winner 12 months ago and two others at 25/1 and 20/1 within the last six years, the Duke Of York Clipper Logistics Stakes (Wednesday 3.15pm) has not been a happy hunting ground for favourite backers.
