Racing betting: Label Des Obeaux might just be a class above at Kempton

February 11, 2016

Trainer Alan King’s fine season can continue at Kempton on Friday when he saddles LABEL DES OBEAUX in the novices’ hurdle (1.35pm). The five-year-old found Grade One company a little too hot when finishing a well-beaten third to Barters Hill in the Challow Hurdle at Newbury over Christmas. He should prove very hard to beat now [...]
Racing betting: Red-hot Richard Johnson can land Betfair Hurdle for Philip Hobbs

February 11, 2016

The weather gods are unrelenting at the moment, yet fortunately Saturday's meeting at Newbury looks like going ahead. Betway Champion Chase hero Dodging Bullets makes his eagerly awaited reappearance in the Game Spirit (3.00pm). He’s easily the best in this line-up, hence Betway make him just 1/2, but the ground is going to be very [...]
Premier League tickets should be capped at £10 for away fans, says West Brom boss Tony Pulis, following Liverpool and Arsenal price hike climbdowns

February 11, 2016

West Brom manager Tony Pulis has joined calls to reduce the cost of attending top-flight football, urging Premier League clubs to charge away supporters no more than £10 per ticket. Pulis said teams should stop “milking, milking, milking” fans and, drawing comparisons with the Bundesliga, argued that incentivising supporters to travel to games would generate [...]
IAAF crisis: Nestle follows fellow sponsor Adidas in severing ties with troubled athletics world governing body

February 10, 2016

Nestle has asked to terminate its sponsorship of crisis-hit athletics world governing body the IAAF over fears the deal was damaging the Swiss-based food and drinks giant’s image. The decision, a year before the end of Nestle’s five-year partnership, follows a similar move by sportswear group Adidas last month. The IAAF has been tarnished by [...]
Six Nations 2016: England Grand Slam bid will come unstuck if they take Italy win for granted, warns defence coach Paul Gustard

February 10, 2016

Defence coach Paul Gustard has warned England that their Grand Slam ambitions could unravel if they look beyond their second Six Nations fixture, against Italy in Rome on Sunday. A hard-fought victory over Scotland on Saturday has left Eddie Jones’s men one of just two sides, along with France, in contention to sweep the board [...]
Leicester’s superb technique is the overlooked facet of their unlikely assault on the Premier League

February 9, 2016

Leicester's charge to the top of the Premier League has got all neutrals rooting for the Foxes and also reminded me of my old Everton side in 1984-85, the season our group of players first won the title. Just as lifting the FA Cup in the previous campaign gave us impetus to carry on, so too [...]
Football betting: Back Chelsea to continue their revival against timid Manchester United

February 4, 2016

Two Premier League heavyweights clash on Sunday as Chelsea host Manchester United. Silverware may not be on the line but matches between these two remain amongst the biggest around. Chelsea have been keen in recent weeks to right the wrongs of the dismal first half of the campaign, with far improved performances since Guus Hiddink [...]
Football betting: Manchester City to test Leicester’s fairytale title bid

February 4, 2016

It is not a surprise to see Manchester City involved in potentially title-deciding six-pointers at this stage of the season. However, it is positively shocking for one of those contests to come against Leicester. The Foxes have been the standout story of the campaign. After beating Liverpool 2-0 on Tuesday, Claudio Ranieri’s side lead the Premier [...]
Racing betting: Tombstone and Zabana can advertise Festival credentials

February 4, 2016

Leopardstown stages a mouth-watering eight-race card on Saturday with the feature being the Grade One Irish Gold Cup (3.40pm). Last season’s Lexus Chase winner and Cheltenham Gold Cup third Road To Riches is currently a best-priced 4/5 with Betway and will take plenty of beating if back on song. He looked as good as ever on [...]
Racing betting: Bob’s your uncle in West Wales National

February 4, 2016

Ffos Las stages its biggest meeting of the year on Saturday and the ground is certain to be incredibly testing. This has resulted in the course reducing the distance of the West Wales National (3.15pm) by three furlongs after last year's controversial race, where just two finished. I'm not looking any further than the winner from [...]
