Cesarewitch betting tips: Starchitect can help punters build some profit at Newmarket October 6, 2016 Newmarket stages the equine equivalent of the National Lottery on Saturday when a field of 34 line up for the Cesarewitch (4.10pm). With a 50/1 winner 12 months ago, not to mention 66/1 winners in two of the three previous years, it’s a race where the hat pin may prove more useful than the form [...]
Betting: Back Southgate to have his Three Lions roaring late against Malta October 6, 2016 GARETH Southgate heads into the Three Lions’ den tomorrow in the wake of Sam Allardyce’s sacking, and couldn’t have asked for an easier start. At 176th in the world, Malta are the lowest ranked team in England’s World Cup qualifying group, some 59 places below next worst Lithuania. In the overall FIFA list, they sit between Suriname and Laos. The Maltese were routed 5-1 by [...]
Betting: Back Wolves to inflict Grand Final pain on injured Warriors October 6, 2016 WARRINGTON should go into tomorrow’s Super League Grand Final against Wigan as huge favourites. With both sides at full-strength it would be an unbelievably close game to call, but Wigan are decimated by injuries and the Wolves should take advantage. Sam Tomkins, a player included in every Super League dream team from 2008 until his move to the NRL in 2014, is definitely out and [...]
Betting: Stars can shine to finally earn USA their Ryder Cup stripes September 29, 2016 Europe have dominated the Ryder Cup over the past three decades. Since 1985 the boys in blue have won 11 tournaments, compared with just four for America. They’ve landed six of the last seven and last time out saw a comfortable 16½-11½ point win at Gleneagles under captain Paul McGinley. Darren Clarke is at the helm [...]
Betting: Reliable Rose to prove a thorn in USA’s side once again September 29, 2016 There is no player going into this year’s Ryder Cup with more confidence than Rory McIlroy and the bookmakers certainly haven’t missed that. The Ulsterman is clear at the top of Sporting Index’s Top European index where 50 points are awarded for the best player, 30 for second, 20 for third and 10 for fourth. McIroy [...]
Betting: Goals galore expected as Spurs host Man City at White Hart Lane September 29, 2016 TOTTENHAM host Manchester City on Sunday in a match that could go a long way to deciding the direction of this season’s Premier League trophy. These two finished third and fourth last term but currently sit first and second in the table, and look to be among this year’s front-runners for the title. Unsurprisingly, both [...]
Betting tips: Value can be Found with the fillies in Arc de Triomphe September 29, 2016 THERE is quality racing action on both sides of the Channel this weekend with Sunday’s Qatar Prix de L’Arc de Triomphe (3.05pm) the undoubted highlight. Roger Varian’s Postponed is a worthy favourite on the back of an impressive win in the Juddmonte International at York last month. That success came on ground arguably too fast [...]
Ashadihan can stamp her authority on Rosemary rivals September 22, 2016 Friday's Listed Rosemary Stakes (1.55pm) isn't straight forward by any means, but ASHADIHAN is the classiest filly in the race and must have a massive chance. Kevin Ryan's three-year-old has been in top company this season – running respectable races in both the Group One Coronation and Falmouth Stakes. She's still lightly raced and was an excellent [...]
Newmarket betting tips: Sparks will fly for Brian Meehan in Cambridgeshire September 22, 2016 JOHN Gosden has won the historic Cambridgeshire Handicap (4.10pm) three times, but punters were dealt a bitter blow when his hot favourite Sacred Act was ruled out on Wednesday evening. The lightly-raced five-year-old won impressively at Sandown earlier this month and many were hoping he would turn out to be the next Pipedreamer or Halling. [...]
Plucky Foxes to settle for a draw against stuttering Manchester United September 22, 2016 LAST season’s champions travel to the FA Cup winners on Saturday lunchtime as Manchester United host Leicester. Having started his United career with a Community Shield win over the Foxes, things aren’t looking quite as positive for Jose Mourinho as it did on that sunny day at Wembley. Three successive wins were brought to a [...]
