A day at Newbury for our Free Horseracing Tips

Free Horseracing Tips at Newbury…listen to the Podcast, below

1:45 Newbury Measuring Time, Win. A decent race to open the card. This is a two year-old race so guess who is the trainer to back? Yes, Richard Hannon again. Still no Richard Hughes so the Champion jockey, Ryan Moore deputises. Hannon knows how to not only buy two-year-olds but also how to train them and more importantly place them to great effect. The stable have already notched up 115 winners this season, amazing, and I think this one will add to that tally.

2:15 Newbury, Markab, Win (NAP). He is in the form of his life and Markab, as a late maturer, is still improving.  He beat off a decent field in Ireland (Group 3) and ran a cracker in the Kings Stand Stakes, at Royal Ascot, when second to Equiano. That one has since ran second to Starspangledbanner in the July Cup. This is rock solid form, by any standards. So what we have here is a Group 3 race with a horse who was second in a top quality Group 1 last time. He has a rating of 113, which amazingly in not the highest in the field but he looks the best of these by quite some way. Markab is my best bet of the day.



3:20 Newbury, Distant Reward, Win. Its back to the Richard Hannon show for the Weatherbys Super Sprint. Last time our Reckless Reward was second to Approve last time out in the Group 2 Norfolk Stakes. The winner Approve is a very high quality animal so a repeat of that run should be good enough to land the first prize of a little under £100k. Last years winner of the race was Monsieur Chevalier, which was trained by you guessed it, Richard Hannon. The trainer saddles Norfolk Stakes runner-up Reckless Reward, which he believes represents his best chance of success on Saturday, although he has five other bullets to fire. I fancy Reckless Reward with Ryan Moore in the saddle.

3:55 Newbury, Distant Memories, Win. Tom Tate is a very good trainer, based at Tadcaster in a very nice spot. Distant Memories is tough and consistent and always runs a good race. Last time out at York he defied a rating of 104 which has earned him a crack at a listed race. I think he will win this with Jamie Spencer taking the ride. I like the Tom Tate stable and I hope this one wins for a gentleman of the turf.

Lets hope for another good day!

York John Smiths Cup on Saturday

York….

We will kick off with York….Free Horseracing Tips for Saturday (will keep it short today)

2:00 York, Harlech Castle, Win. This is a straight match in my book between Cornus and Harlech Castle. Alan McCabe has got the best out of Cornus again but Harlech Castle just keeps on winning and I think he is still on a decent mark. Jim Boyle has booked Ryan Moore which is in my view significant.

3:05 York Demolition, Win. Last time out Richard Fahey’s first string was second in the Old Newton Cup, although some way behind the winner that one was a blot on the handicap, so with that out of the equation Demolition ran a very good race. Off this mark therefore I think he is still quite competitive. In my view this is a very tough race but Demolition from the yard who knows how to win it is my pick here.

3:40 York, Drunken Sailor, Win (NAP). There may be a few drunken sailors in the crowd, but the horse is a decent sort. Kieren Fallon takes the ride for his primary stable of Luca Cumani and I think this is the best bet on the card here. He was second in the Northumberland Plate last time, to Overturn, this is form I think is rock solid and over the same trip, 1m 6f Drunken Sailor can win at York on Saturday.

4:50 York, Dubai Media, Win.Last time out this one was eight in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot. This is well below that level, in fact it is a maiden that really should go to Ed Dunlop’s three year-old. What price, that is the question?

Fallon Rides at York

Here is the Racing Diary Weekend Horseracing Podcast……

Ascot….

2:50 Ascot Summer Mile, Premier Loco, Win. Back to form last time, winning The Criterion Stakes (group 3) last time out at Newmarket. Another Group 2 here can go to Chris Wall’s stable star, with an official mark of 119 he is the one to beat.

Chester….

2:15 Chester, Lord Shanakill, Win. Last time out he was outclassed by Starspangledbanner. That was group one and he may or may not be a group one animal but this is his level and I really like him here.

3:20 Chester, City Wall Stakes, Borderlescott, Win. Last year Borderlescott won this, just and I think he will follow up again. A very shrewd move by Robin Bastiman in the booking of the in form Tom Queally (Big Newmarket double Thursday).

Daily World Cup Betting Podcasts, from Racing Diary

Its the World Cup Final, and the third place play off this weekend. The big one is Spain v Holland with a English Referee, Howard Webb. We look at the World Cup Betting opportunities. This is the World Cup Betting Podcast for the World Cup Final….

Spain and Holland go head to head, Spain have conceded only two goals so far in the tournament and Holland have set a record of 14 straight World Cup Wins in 90 minutes.

Howard Webb is the referee, he is 7/2 to issue a card and 33/1 to send off Van Bommell which must be worth a few quid. On Saturday we have the third place play-off…
19:30 Uruguay (4) Draw (14/5) Germany (4/5)
Always a high scoring fixture, I fancy Germany as does Octopus Paul….

The World Cup Final…

19:30 Netherlands (11/4) Draw (12/5) Spain (6/5)

Holland offer genuine value here, but Spain will be tough to score against, only 2 goals conceded is an amazing record. For me though its Spain, but do all the boys agree? Listen to the World Cup Betting Podcast.

Some World Cup Bets….
WITH PUNTERS APPARENTLY reluctant to back Spain to beat the Dutch in the World Cup Final, William Hill are to lengthen their 90 minutes odds to an industry-leading 6/5 for online and telephone clients from 7a.m on Friday morning. ‘Despite already taking bets of £10,000, £25,000 and £50,000 for Spain to win the World Cup, we cannot now seem to persuade punters to back Spain to beat the Dutch in 90 minutes, so, as they are a seven figure winner for us we are trying to tempt punters to support them – hopefully Paul the Octopus will tip them to help us out!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

A William Hill Manchester betting shop client stands to collect £424,000 if David Villa, now 8/11 favourite to do so, ends up as tournament top scorer after placing a £30,000 double on Holland to win their Group at 4/7, with Villa at 8/1.

Another Hill’s shop punter in Essex placed a £250 treble on Rafa Nadal and Serena Williams to win their respective Wimbledon singles tournaments, running on to Holland – and will collect £30,000 if the Dutch oblige.

‘It has been a good World Cup for bookies thus far, with 52% favs winning , 27% draws and 21% underdogs, which doesn’t sound that great, except that the high turnover matches have tended to go our way – not least the England matches, and the Germany-Spain semi in which there were bets of 500,000 and 75,000 euros on a German win’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL now make Spain 4/7 favourites to win the World Cup, with Holland offered at 6/4.
Hills make Spain 6/5 to win in 90m with Holland 13/5 and the draw 11/5. (PRICES AVAILABLE FROM 7A.M.)

Hills offer 9/2 that the Final will go to a penalty shoot-out; Holland are 10/1 to win by that method, with Spain also quoted at 10/1. Holland are 11/1 to win in extra time, with Spain 9/1 to do likewise.

DAVID VILLA is 8/11 to end up as World Cup top scorer with Hills who also offer 5/2 Sneijder; 4 Klose; 14 Muller; 16 Forlan; 100 Suarez.

VAN BOMMEL FOR BOOKING?
WILLIAM HILL have cut their price for Van Bommel to be booked during the Final (90m play) from 9/4 to 13/8 after taking a string of bets of up to £600 a time on the tough tackling Dutchman to fall foul of the referee.

REPEAT FOR PUYOL?
AFTER Carles Puyol headed Spain to victory against Germany, William Hill offer 25/1 that he will score again from a header during 90m play of the Final.

FERNANDO PENALTY?
WILLIAM HILL offer 12/1 that Torres will win a penalty.(90m play)
ARJEN ROBBEN is 13/2 with Hills to score from outside the box.(90m play)

Sir Alex talks to Sun Talk

Speaking to Terry Christian and Ron Atkinson on the StanJames.com World Cup Show (Daily at 5pm on SunTalk) Sir Alex told the guys;

“There was such expectation on him, talk he was going to be the player of the tournament,” said Ferguson.

“That was the prelude to the whole thing. You wait, in four years’ time you’ll see a different player.”

Ferguson admitted he had been concerned by the hyperbole surrounding Rooney at the start of the tournament.

“He was going to be the star, he was going to outshine them all – Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo. So that level of expectation comes into it,” he added.

“And he’s not got great experience of playing in the World Cup really.”

The Scot revealed he was “baffled” by England’s poor form in South Africa. Fabio Capello’s team finished second in their group, behind the United States, and were then hammered 4-1 by Germany in the second round.

“That is going to be one of the imponderables – what has really happened and why are they [England] not getting better form,” stated Ferguson.

“I watched their games and was baffled by what I saw. Expectation was a big thing. They qualified from a group which you’d have to say was a million to one they wouldn’t qualify from. So it was an easy passage into the finals.

“Maybe it would have been better if England had been in a tougher [qualifying] group. They’d have earned the right to be one of the favourites and it would have helped that they’d played good teams before they got there.”

Ferguson said he had been particularly impressed with Germany and argued that their winning mentality and the Bundesliga’s winter break had helped them through to the semi-finals.

“The history they’ve got [in Germany] is quite incredible,” said Ferguson. “That organised mentality they have, the belief in themselves, it carries them a long way.

“The German mentality is ‘we are always in the semi-finals’.

“Plus the fact they get a month’s rest in January – it must help. All the England team are playing [in the Premier League] so they’re all affected [by the lack of a winter break].”

However, Ferguson is tipping the Netherlands – who take on Uruguay in Tuesday’s first semi-final – to win the World Cup.

He added: “I don’t think they have played anywhere near their best form.”

Daily World Cup Betting Podcasts, from Racing Diary

A great weekend of Football Betting, but has it been a classic World Cup? Who will contest the final and who will win the World Cup? Plus more news on what went wrong for England in the latest World Cup Betting Podcast.

So Uruguay play Holland and Germany play Spain in the World Cup Semi-Finals. Spain are favourites to win the World Cup, but we think that Germany are the value here. Listen to the thoughts of the team on our Podcast. Liam thinks Uruguay are value to win the World Cup and the 6/1 to beat Holland is good value, but its Germany for me to win the World Cup.

There is no doubt that Germany have been the surprise package at the World Cup but they will surely not find the Spanish defence as benovolent as the English or Argentinian were in Durban on Wednesday evening. Spain are just favourites at 8/5 with Germany 9/5 and the draw 11/5 with Stan James.

Indeed Stan James are betting 12/1 that the Germans score 4 or more goals in the semi-final (90 mins). Spain are the 15/8 favourites to add the World Title to their European success of 2008 when they easily disposed of a German side in transition. Fernando Torres scored the only goal of the game in Vienna two years ago and Spain were much superior on that occasion. Torres has struggled throughout the World Cup and he is likely to be on the bench on Wednesday with Arsenal’s Cesc Fabregas or Athletico Bilboa’s Fernando Llorente introduced to the starting line-up.

Spain are 4/5 to qualify with Germany Even money and that is surely based on reputation rather than what we have witnessed so far in South Africa. It is of course possible that Germany’s attacking style will play into the hands of the Spanish who have been forced to try to break down their defensive-minded opponents in each of their five games in this World Cup to date. Spain will be bidding to become the first nation to win the World Cup having lost their first game in the competition. We haven’t seen the best of La Roja at this tournament although they have done just enough to reach the last four. David Villa is 4/9 to win the Golden Boot and StanJames.com are betting 9/4 that Spain lift the Trophy on Sunday night with Villa top scorer.

Holland are 2/1 with StanJames.com to win Sunday’s World Cup and they ought to have too much for a resilient Uruguay in Cape Town on Tuesday. Uruguay have performed wonders when you consider they are a nation of less than 3 million in reaching the semi-finals and few would have thought they would be the last standing South American country when they drew their first game with France 0-0 last month. Diego Forlan has been a revelation and he is 7/1 to score Tuesday’s opening goal but the Oranje are firm favourites at 4/6 to win in 90 minutes.

Stan James will refund all losing stakes on all goalscorer markets (first/last/anytime/hat-trick/scorecast) if Diego Forlan scores anytime during the 90 minutes on Tuesday and exactly the same with Miroslav Klose on Wednesday evening.

Its very exciting, not least the Argentina v Germany game at 3pm. I love the World Cup and there is some interesting World Cup Betting to get stuck in to today!

Where do you start on a day like this. It could be a tale of two games, the highlight being Argentina and Germany with Paraguay and Spain possibly looking like a low scoring affair. The beauty is you never know!

Germany beat England but Argentina look a different proposition, with their we will score one more than you approach. The England team are back now, on holiday and we ask the question, did the country over react?

So here are Saturdays games and best odds….

15:00 Argentina (11/8) D  (9/4)Germany (5/2)
Argentina for me, there is value in the betting either way….

19:30 Paraguay (15/2)D  (31/10)Spain (1/2)
Could be a dull one, under 2.5 Goals a cert for me….

There are some interesting world cup betting specials for Saturday too (from Stan James)

Goalscorer Match bet
David Villa 2/1 Tie 10/11 Higuain 3/1

Which team will score the most goals in their Q/F Matches?
Spain 13/8
Argentina 9/4
Germany 3/1
Paraguay 5/1

Which match will have the most goals?
Argentina v Germany 5/4
Draw 11/4
Paraguay v Spain 6/4

Mythical Match Bet
Spain 5/4
Draw 12/5
Argentina 7/4

Red Card in either game?
Yes – 11/10
No – 4/6

They are really interesting! I think Argentina at 7/4 against Spain is very tasty. This is very exciting World Cup betting!

Well we now know the World Cup quarter-final line up. Spain and Paraguay are through, but what poor games. The World Cup Betting will be tougher now with the big teams clashing. Who will you be backing in The World Cup? Its Quarter Final World Cup Betting Day one!

So Fridays games are a total contrast, Holland v Brazil looks a cracker whilst Uruguay v Ghana may be a good game but doesn’t have the appeal of the first match of the day. That said the hope of a continent rests with Ghana.

We will see just how good Brazil are, they look like winners for me, but this is a big game. There are some interesting stats about Holland in the Podcast from Araz.

We also talk about England, can we expect better from our players, given what we read in the paper today? Liam has some strong views on the press.

Fridays World Cup betting…..

15:00 Netherlands (7/2) D (12/5) Brazil (18/19)
A great match but a Brazil win here….

19:30 Uruguay (11/10)D (9/4) Ghana (16/5)
Uruguay look solid at 11/10 here….

Well England may be out of the World Cup and the boys from 1966′s after dinner speaking jobs are safe for another four years as the only English World Cup Winners, but the show goes on. And what a show it was last night as Argentina beat Mexico 3-1. So much to talk about, more World Cup Betting too.

Another shocking refereeing decision, so should goal line technology come in to play? We talk about it in the latest World Cup Podcast. Also are Argentina looking like World Cup Winners?

The big question is should Fabio Capello go? We talk about that on the latest Podcast. We also look ahead at the games on the Tuesday, which may provide more goals and talking points. Can Spain pull it out of the bag?

Japan are 3/1 to beat Paraguay, is that Value? Spain Portugal, this will be a great game?

Tuesdays World Cup Betting Matches….

15:00 Paraguay (6/5) D (9/4) Japan (3)

Could be a close game….

19:30 Spain (11/10) D (9/4)Portugal (10/3)

This is a good game on paper, but will it be?

Some news about the referee….
The referee of England’s 4-1 defeat to Germany has a chequered history and missed the 2002 World Cup after he was banned in his homeland for irregularities.

Jorge Larrionda who, along with assistant Mauricio Espinosa, missed a clear goal by Frank Lampard that would have made it 2-2 in the second-round tie, was suspended in his native Uruguay for six months for “irregularities”, leading FIFA to exclude him from their list for the 2002 finals in Japan and South Korea.

England are out of the World Cup, hammered, humiliated and beaten 4-1 by Germany. Absolutely shocking. We also look at the USA’s exit to Ghana 2-1 in Extra-Time on Saturday. What about goal-line technology? World Cup Betting Update for Mondays games….

It appears that Franz Beckenbaur was right, how woeful were England, we won one game against Slovenia, drew with USA and lost to Algeria, wow. Worth £6m a year for the manager?

so we wait another 2 years and try again in Euro2012, assuming we qualify. I wonder if Capello will remain in charge? The bookies are already bettting on the next England manager,

‘We go 1/3 that the next England manager will be English’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’At least, if he isn’t let’s hope he can speak English.’ Capello actually said he thought we played well against Germany. Need some new specs, and take that referee with you I say.

I hope we can now enjoy a good World Cup and see more goals. Holland and Brazil are the star teams in action on Monday.

Reaction To England’s defeat….

BOOKMAKERS have been saved from a potential £50million+ payout by England’s humiliating exit from the World Cup. And William Hill, who made Fabio 7/4 to be gone by midnight after the match, are already betting on Capello’s successor, and make Harry Redknapp 7/4 favourite. ‘We go 1/3 that the next England manager will be English’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’At least, if he isn’t let’s hope he can speak English.’
