Betting: Top four place up for grabs in Premier League’s final weekend

May 12, 2016

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. Leicester City’s fairytale at the top and Sunderland’s great escape at the bottom mean the title race and relegation battle have been settled. However, the race [...]
Sarries have the international stars to achieve European glory

May 12, 2016

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. History would suggest that it won’t happen, but form says otherwise. In recent weeks, Sarries have dispatched both Wasps and [...]

May 12, 2016

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 [...]
Racing betting: Midterm can be Stoute’s seventh Dante winner

May 11, 2016

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 [...]
Racing betting: Danzeno’s a grand old bet to march home in the Duke Of York

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. The betting for this year’s Group Two prize, run over six furlongs, is headed by Charlie Hills’ Magical [...]
Racing betting: So Mi Dar to call the tune in the Musidora

May 10, 2016

Trainer John Gosden has saddled three of the last five winners of the Tattersalls Musidora Stakes (3.45pm) and he will be hoping to improve on that already impressive record on Wednesday afternoon. The Newmarket handler sends the unbeaten filly SO MI DAR to York on the back of a gutsy win against the colts in [...]
Why Andy Carroll, Theo Walcott and Ryan Bertrand deserve a place in England’s Euro 2016 squad – and Raheem Sterling, Jordan Henderson and Leighton Baines don’t

May 10, 2016

Roy Hodgson may have delayed naming his 23-man squad for the European Championship until Monday, but the England manager has only a few dilemmas left. The goalkeeping line-up of Joe Hart, Fraser Forster and Tom Heaton is straightforward, yet there are decisions to be made in defence, midfield and up front, especially with Danny Welbeck [...]
Guus Hiddink backs John Terry to play on but offers him no assurances over Chelsea future

May 10, 2016

Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink believes John Terry is good enough to play on beyond this season but says he has cannot influence whether the veteran skipper has reached the end of his 18-year Blues career. Terry, who is out of contract in the summer, could have made his last appearance for the club already, having [...]
