Royal Ascot 2016: Frankie Dettori strikes Gold with Galileo in battle of the Guineas heroes

June 14, 2016

Trainer Hugo Palmer hailed Galileo Gold as the best three-year-old colt in Europe after Frankie Dettori rode the 6/1 chance to glory in the St James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot on Tuesday. The 2000 Guineas winner prevailed by just over a length from even-money favourite and French Guineas hero The Gurkha, with Irish Guineas [...]
Horse racing betting: Usherette can show rivals the door in the Duke Of Cambridge

June 14, 2016

Not since 1971 had the ground on the opening day of Royal Ascot been worse than good to soft, but on Tuesday conditions were soft all round. All the unseasonal rain that has fallen on Berkshire since last Friday means that a field of only six has been declared for Wednesday’s Prince Of Wales’s Stakes [...]
Horse racing betting: John Gosden’s second string looks Remarkable value in Jersey Stakes

June 14, 2016

Finding the winner of the wide-open looking 21-runner Jersey Stakes (Wednesday 2.30pm) looks a pretty unenviable task on paper. The obvious starting point is Ribchester who was last seen in action finishing third to Galileo Gold in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket. With the drop back in trip to seven furlongs, as well as plenty [...]
Horse racing betting: Hunt Cup is a Breeze for Ivory while Glory Awaits

June 14, 2016

Some love them; some hate them, but working out one of Royal Ascot’s fiendishly difficult handicap puzzles rewards punters like nothing else. The Royal Hunt Cup (Wednesday 5.00pm) is possibly the biggest lottery of them all, especially when the ground is soft and the effects of the draw unclear. Sir Michael Stoute and Ryan Moore team [...]

June 14, 2016

Russia’s coach and players have hit out at England after they were pushed closer to expulsion from Euro 2016 over the violence wreaked by dozens of their fans at Saturday’s Group B match in Marseille. Governing body Uefa has fined the Russian Football Union €150,000 (£119,000) and warned that any repeat of their fighting, racism or use [...]
US Open 2016: Ultimate test Oakmont should favour the very best and Jordan Spieth’s game gives him an edge over Rory McIlroy and Jason Day

June 14, 2016

I always consider the US Open to be the Major that is set up the best, fairest and hardest, and I certainly expect that to be the case with the venue this year being Oakmont. The Pennsylvania course is fantastic, one of the finest in the world, and I have fond memories of playing there [...]
Roy Hodgson and Wayne Rooney implore England fans to avoid trouble as Euro 2016 expulsion threat hangs over Three Lions

June 13, 2016

England manager Roy Hodgson and captain Wayne Rooney have pleaded with supporters to be on the their best behaviour at Euro 2016 after the team was threatened with disqualification. Governing body Uefa on Sunday warned it would not hesitate to throw England and Russia out of the competition following the violent clashes between fans that marred [...]
Horse racing betting: Awtaad to be crowned champion for King Kev at Ascot

June 13, 2016

Races at Royal Ascot simply don’t get any better than this year’s Group One St James’s Palace Stakes (Tuesday 4.20pm). Although only eight horses are set to line up, among them are the winners of this year’s English, Irish and French 2000 Guineas. It’s a mouth-watering contest. Aidan O’Brien has won this race a record [...]
Horse racing betting: King’s Stand beckons for this speedy Angel

June 13, 2016

Anyone got a sense of déjà vu? Regular readers of this column may recognise this exact headline from 12 months ago when I fancied MECCA’S ANGEL to land the King’s Stand (3.40pm) on the opening day at Royal Ascot. However, the five-year-old daughter of Dark Angel was never able to prove her quality that day [...]
