Freddie ready to go at 9/4 July 18, 2008 Andrew Flintoff makes a much welcome return to England’s Test team for the Second Test against South Africa at Headingley starting this morning and looks a terrific bet with Coral at 9/4 to be England’s top bowler. However, he has struggled with the bat and backers may fancy their chances of him scoring 28 or [...]
Westwood can weatherstorm after slow start July 18, 2008 Damian McGrane of Ireland had the worst of the weather yesterday morning, but was four shots too good for playing partners Jerry Kelly and Darren Fichardt, despite shooting 79.

Have the Utmost Respect at the Darley July Cup July 11, 2008 Although the weather has put a dampener on the July Newmarket meeting, this afternoon offers an excellent final day card for punters to get their teeth into and Utmost Respect could be the value to land the feature Darley July Cup. This one will relish the testing conditions and should go well at double-figure odds. [...]
Expect a wide open Open July 11, 2008 Once upon a time there was no Tiger Woods in the Open Championship. It was an age when newspapers, fans and bookies used to speculate widely and sometimes wildly about what might happen. Who was hot and who was not. Was it going to be Nick Faldo again? Could Greg Norman get the better of [...]
