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 [...]

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.

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 [...]
Horse racing betting: Esoterique to strike a blow for the fairer sex in Royal Ascot opener

June 13, 2016

There hasn't been a more open renewal of Tuesday afternoon's Queen Anne Stakes (2.30pm) for many a year, with three horses from all over the world battling for favouritism. Last year's Breeders’ Cup Mile winner Tepin has travelled across the Atlantic for the first time for the biggest test of her career. The outstanding American [...]
Horse racing betting: Jennies looks Jewel of a bet in Ascot slog

June 13, 2016

Many of the 20 runners in Tuesday afternoon’s Ascot Stakes (5.00pm) are tackling two and a half miles on the flat for the first time, with the recent rain putting even more emphasis on stamina. National Hunt trainers have dominated this prize in recent years, having won eight of the last 10 renewals, and are again [...]
Horse racing betting: Hannon and Dettori set to plunder the Coventry with Mehmas

June 13, 2016

Plenty of smart two-year-old colts have won the Coventry Stakes (3.05pm) in recent years and the most obvious starting point in looking to find the winner is trainer Aidan O’Brien. The Ballydoyle maestro saddles the unbeaten Caravaggio in his attempt to land the six-furlong prize for a record eighth time and it is clear to [...]
Roy Hodgson must build on encouraging displays of Rooney and Lallana to keep England positive for crunch Wales clash

June 12, 2016

The worst time at a major tournament – as many in this inexperienced England squad will be discovering now – is the period in between games when you haven’t had the result that you wanted. Normally a team in this position would go back to what they know has got them through previous difficult times, [...]
England and Russia threatened with expulsion from Euro 2016 over fan violence

June 12, 2016

England have been warned that they will be thrown out of Euro 2016 if the incidents of fan violence that marred the build-up to their opening match against Russia are repeated. European governing body Uefa has also threatened Russia with the same punishment, following repeated clashes between supporters from both countries in Marseille over the [...]
Euro 2016 betting: Roy’s young lions have a chance but don’t write off Germany

June 9, 2016

France's four-week festival of football kicks off on Friday evening as Euro 2016 gets under way. The last two editions of the European Championships have been dominated by Spain, who won in 2008 and 2012. However, the Spanish crown has slipped in the last four years, meaning there are plenty of sides who will fancy their [...]
