Kauto can beat Denman and Star for a third time March 18, 2010 THE talking is nearly over. At around 3.30pm this afternoon, we will know who will have won the 2010 totesport Gold Cup. Will Kauto Star, probably the best chaser since Arkle, land his third Gold Cup or will Denman pick himself up from the canvas and reclaim the crown he won in 2008? I know [...]

Ashkazar and Any Given Day can land the spoils March 18, 2010 It’s hard to separate Irish raiders Alaivan and CARLITO BRIGANTE in the opener, but I marginally prefer the latter at around 9/2. The faster the ground the better for this fellow, who just keeps on improving and he has now won his last three. I’ll also be having a small each-way bet on BARWELL BRIDGE [...]
Denman is no match for stablemate Kauto March 18, 2010 Sporting Index are once again tempting us with a whole host of match bets on this afternoon’s racing. Remember, they pick two horses in a race and predict the winning margin between the pair at the end of the race (a maximum of 15 lengths applies!). The match that everyone is talking about is obviously [...]
the INSIDER March 18, 2010 Gold Cup day and all the talk will be about Kauto or Denman. It should be a fantastic race to watch, but possibly not the betting opportunity I’m looking for. However, the JCB Triumph Hurdle is always a race I like to get stuck into and this year is no exception. As such, the house [...]
French fancied to pile on the points in Paris March 18, 2010 FRANCE V/S ENGLAND TOMORROW-7.45PM-BBC1 FRANCE have historically tended to do well in Six Nations tournaments after Lions Tours but to suggest that their faultless record this year is due to the relative tiredness of their opponents is unfair. Marc Lièvremont’s side have been sublime at times over the last six weeks and a comparison of [...]
LAWYERS MAKE A KILLING IN COURT SPAT March 18, 2010 YESTERDAY saw sighs of contentment all round at inter-dealer broker Tullett Prebon, as judge Justice Jack ruled in its favour after almost a year of wrangling with rival BGC about a staff poaching operation. Though of course, after seven months of advisory work and a trial lasting the best part of four months, it’s the [...]
CITY EYE March 18, 2010 FANCY headgear was out in force yesterday on the third day of this year’s Cheltenham Festival, Ladies’ Day. The splashes of colour over the racecourse grounds marked a change from the usual dress code at Cheltenham, which is characterised for the rest of the week by traditional tweeds and more casual clothing.
Choose a professional to look after your money March 17, 2010 IF you want one of the world’s most successful fund managers to look after your money, it is time to look towards Asia. Fidelity’s Anthony Bolton has recently launched a new fund, the China Special Situations Fund, and it’s open to ISAs. While interest rates on cash ISAs remain low, equity investments can be a [...]
Get to grips with the details of ISAs March 17, 2010 A RECENT survey by Halifax said that 37 per cent of households now have an ISA. But how many of us actually use our full annual allowance or, more to the point, even know what our yearly tax-free entitlement is? And for experienced investors who already put their money to work elsewhere, the paltry returns [...]
