Sunday 1st July -

A Pinch and a Punch..... Thank the lord for a new month, June was pretty horrid for me. The Tennis has been saving our bacon the last week, and hopefully will continue next week. Some decent looking races today, Sunday racing is a decent standard nowadays. Plus the first proper stage of Le Tour. In the golf Hunter Mahan threw away a 2 shot lead last night, which I'm not going to lie, upset me a little. He's still thereabouts, 2 shots off the lead, but with a prowling Tiger about he faces a huge task to get his head back in the game tonight. Then there is the small matter of a football match tonight.

Todays stage will likely finish in a bunch, with no teams wishing to yield time to a breakaway this early. With only 1 sprint point expect a small group to get away early for the small mountain points. KOM tip Johnny Hoogerland is likely to be involved. A CAT4 finish will remove Mark Cavendish from the reckoning here and could hand initiative to a classic specialist. 4/1 on Belgian PHILIPPE GILBERT is a gift, he will be hungry for this as the finish is in Belgium, as is the start, and the rest of the stage. Expect the stronger sprinters to be near the fore, I'd probably consider Ed Boasson-Hagen as my danger for this.

FOOTBALL

I'll tell you the truth, I don't know who is going to win this, the Italians have come here with their best and most creative side since the days of Roberto Baggio. Pirlo has been Pir-less in this tournament, and bar a Zidane style moment of madness will likely win Player of the Tournament, he is cetainly the media choice anyway, but UEFA do work in funny ways so there is no guarantee. Hopefully the Spanish will respect the occasion and do away with their ridiculous 4-6-0 formation, again with the sheer arrogance of the Spanish there is no guarantee that this will happen either. I think it will have to be Italy to take the initiative to make a game of this. Otherwise Spain will just bore everybody to death with their side-to-side back-front-back game. Portugal showed them no respect, and almost got the result, I think the Italians are certainly more threating than Portugal and a goal early on will shake things up. I hope Italy win, Del Bosque gets sacked for his nonsense and we get treated to proper football form the clearly world class Spanish players in the next world cup. Besides if Italy win we, as English, can hold our heads high and say that we didn't lose a game, won our group and went out on Penalties to the European champions, strict formlines would match to given that we beat Spain back in November last year. So come on Italy and Super Mario.
I'm not going to bet but my prediction is 2-1 ITALY.

Good Luck and Happy Punting

Poor day yesterday, just the 2 winners! Struggled on the tennis also. Hopefully today will be better. Just to one to keep an eye on in Newbie Corner. And then a slightly different approach. I've not bet the Irish Open, as much as it's admirable that the Irish golfers speak so highly of the course and many use it to practise their Links golf, no competitive course form is a put off for me. I do have 3 weapons for the AT&T National.

Tuesday 26th June -

Day 2 of Wimbledon, We've already seen the demise of 4 seeds in the Mens Tournament, the most surprising being Berdych and Isner, in the ladies we've also lost 4, but the biggest headline was the demolition of former champion Venus Williams by Elena Vesnina. Obviously there are some horses running today too, not many good ones though!

Right the horses are going to take second fiddle today really, Wimbledon starts and hopefully it will be a cracking tournament. I don't know what the weather is like in London today but where I am it looks a great day for Tennis. That's probably the biggest thing I miss from when I lived in London, well 2nd biggest, is rocking up Wimbledon on my time off and watching some world class tennis. I'll start with the horses, I have 3 bets and 3 newbies to follow. Then I'll give you all my tennis bets for today.

MEN

I'll start with my main bet, I've done a trixie(4 bets, doubles and trebles) and an extra treble.
RYAN HARRISON to beat Yen-Hsun Lu
Harrison dispatched of Lu in straight sets on his way to the Semi Final at Eastbourne. He has a superior career record against his opponent on grass and also beat him in their other meeting last year. This is effectively my NAP of the 1st round. For spread players I'd have it done in under the 40.5 games quoted, that allows you 4 sets of tennis realistically.
GILLES MULLER to beat Julien Benneteau
Benneteau leads the head to head 2-1, but interestingly Muller's 1 comes on Grass. Grass is the only surface that World number 32 Benneteau has a negative record on. Muller is a lefty, lefties do well on grass, I guess because the biggest weapon on grass is the serve and by serving to/recieving from a lefty you are having to adapt your game from the norm.
GUILLAUME RUFIN to beat Steve Darcis
I actually had Darcis down as a player to follow this year, but his season has been ravaged by injury, indeed he succumbed to a back problem against Roddick last week. He carries that injury into a tournament that requires great physical strength. Rufin is a qualifier here, for the 1st time and the 22 year old Frenchman has a steady game and could just be looking for the big break, there is no bigger stage than this.
The treble here pays just over 8/1 with Betfred.

I have some singles too
GRANOLLERS to beat Troicki
L. MAYER to beat Monaco
ROCHUS to beat Almagro
CERVANTES to beat Cipolla
NALBANDIAN to beat Tipsarevic

Plus a money buyers fivefold
BEMELMANS to beat Berlocq
BERDYCH to beat Gulbis
FEDERER to beat Ramos
MAHUT to beat Lorenzi
YOUZHNY to beat Young

OUDIN to beat Babos

Wimbledon

The greatest tennis tournament of the year kicks off tomorrow and I thought id fill you in with my take on each bit of the draw, some key matches, who I think will go well, some tasty outsiders for trading and how the brits will do. Actual match tips will be on the daily blog.
I'll start with the men.
Quarter 1
This quarter contains world number 1 and defending champion  Novak Djokovic. I honestly cannot see any issue for Nole finding himself in the semi finals. There are one or two 1st round matches in this quarter that I'll be having a pop at. That's another matter. A couple of players could have elongated lives in this quarter. Rufin, Janowicz and Petzschner. 15 seed Juan Monaco could well be the big casualty of the 1st round having never won a match on grass in his career.
Quarter 2
Roger Federer dominant here for so long has been missing from the semi finals the last 2 years. I can't see him having such problems this time round. He won't meet a decent grass player until the quarters, his quarter final opponent may well be whoever gets out of the Isner, Mahut, Andreev, Seppi quartet. Wildcard Zemlja might be one to watch in this quarter. He plays Britain's Goodall in the 1st round then potentially a string of players who may prefer orange stuff underfoot. With some good tennis and good fortune he could meet Roger in round 4.
Quarter 3
It's interesting with the "big4" strangelhold in men's tennis that someone from outside the top table has made the semis every year for a long time now. This year I'm going to take on Andy Murray. This certainly looks the most exciting quarter to negotiate. I think personally it will be Ferrer or Cilic who profit from Murrays defeat. One terrific potential matchup is in round 2 where up and coming Milos Raonic should meet American grass player Sam Querrey. Murray will face Davydenko who will give him a game, he should negotiate that but a monster awaits in round 2, Karlovic. This guy is about 7 foot tall a wallops his serves back. Murray will have to be on top form here. Round 3 is okay, but Cilic, Querrey or Raonic in the 4th will be hugely tricky. Qualifier Kuznetsov could sneak his way to a match with Del Potro in the third.
Quarter 4
Nadal v Tsonga
Lets face it that's the bottom line for this quarter.  1 fun game in round 1 will be the one involving the number 22 seed, if they put it on too high number court they could be rushing about to find enough o's for the scoreboard. :-) 1 or 2 seeds could come unstuck early in this section.
Each way bets on Cilic and Ferrer both at 150/1 wouldn't be futile in my opinion.

Women
1st quarter
Maria, Maria, Maria. She is an incredible specimen of gods work. And she can hit a tennis ball too. She shouldn't face too much bother getting to the quarter final, although pocket rocket Pironkova could give her a game in round 2. The battle to play Maria in the quarters is very open. On paper you'd fancy Kim Clijsters but she may well be carrying an injury into the tournament. Zvonareva, Jankovic, Makarova and Kerber are all very good, watch out for Mathilde Johansson she could ruffle some feathers.
Quarter 2
Britains Heather Watson is in this quarter and it's a particularly open one. She won't win it mind. She may well negotiate Benesova but the beautiful Daniella Hantuchova awaits. Nadia Petrova may well have the most talent on the surface in the top half of this block but she will have to negotiate Melanie Oudin, who is in terrific form, in the second round. Another brit in this quarter is Naomi Broady, I can't see her doing much I'm afraid. Na Li is the other big hope for me in this quarter, she won't face much resistance until the quarter final itself.
3rd Quarter
The All England club appears to have handed a hall pass to Serena Williams. I wouldn't fancy anyone before the quarters to give her a game. In the bottom of the quarter we have Kvitova. The defending champion. Her tennis has not hit those heights since and could well be vulnerable. If she makes the third round her opponent should be the dangerous Pavlyuchenkova. Brits Laura Robson and Elena Baltacha are in this section. Laura has a very tough tie in Schiavone, Baltacha has a pretty close looking 1st round match with Knapp but then would find Kvitova in the 2nd. Vandeweghe is a player who may spring an upset or two, and one to watch for the future is 18 year old German Annika Beck.
Quarter 4
Another open quarter. We have former world number 1s Wozniacki, Ivanovic and Azarenka. The latter 2 could meet in round 4 if they both play their game. However I think Paszek will give Wozniacki a real test in the first round. We have a 16 year old Australian girl in this section Barty(I forget her first name) she could be another for the future.

The women's looks much like a Sharapova v S.Williams final as the betting suggests. But a bet at 80/1 on Ana Ivanovic might have some legs.

More money will be made on matches, backing and laying than the outrights in truth. But I wouldn't put anyone off a Djokovic/Sharapova double.

Sunday 24th June -

Morning all, I've posted a few thoughts on my twitter timeline, not many though, I posted my thoughts on twitter yesterday and none of you buggers clicked into my blog, well I know some did, but only 25% of average daily viewing! Thank you if you did. Anyway enough whingeing, we'll be doing plenty of that about the weather today I'd imagine, but of course there is inclement rain, Wimbledon starts tomorrow! I do hope that none of my readers have been affected by the floods in Lancashire, if we had to uproot from our home with our 3 children the eldest being, shall we say content with routine, it would be very tough indeed. Right who wants some tips. Yesterday I picked some for the sake of it because they were in good races! That hasn't happened today, mostly because there isn't good races, haha. Right here are my bets for today.

I have to add one in that wasn't on the betting guide, in the 230 TASSEL, I look at things by numbers and the bare form suggests a backwards run, but Tassel went wrong last time out and was just bought home, has to be in with a chance.

Royal Ascot Day 3 + 4 betting survival guide

Well we've had some results in these, 1-2-3 in the Windsor Castle, and 5 out of 6 winners on Day 2. So lets hope I can continue helping you trim down the field.

230 NORFOLK STAKES

So Day 4 begins with a 5f 2yo dash. Although fortunately we've only the 12 to pick apart. The Negative trends are as follows, horses beaten last time out, and horses that have tried a longer trip. I'm left with 4, AHERN, CAY VERDE, JUBILEE BRIG and RECKLESS ABANDON, given that CV last two conquests were Dylanbaru and Hototo who finished 3rd and 1st in the Windsor Castle, I'd say he has the form in the book. Favourites have a good record in this race.

305 RIBBLESDALE STAKES

An open Group 2 event for fillies over a mile and half. This isn't generally much of a trends race, but it pays to side with late bloomers, fillies that competed black type races as 2yo tend to struggle. That has only narrowed me down to 9! Although 1 in by default i guess is the rank outsider CHELLA THRILLER, so we'll wipe that one off the board to leave 8. Over half of the winners of this have won at Group or Listed level. So wiping out the ones that haven't, we are down to 5. In no particular order we have Oaks contestors THE FUGUE, VOW and KAILANI, the Queens MOMENTARY, who put away Oaks runner up Shirocco Start on her last star, and Street Cry filly PRINCESS HIGHWAY, impressive winner of the Blue Wind stakes, a group 3, in Ireland. I'm going to throw my neck out and say the Group winners have it so between THE FUGUE and PRINCESS HIGHWAY, but wouldn't be shocked if the winner came elsewhere.

345 GOLD CUP

This is an absolute monster of a renewal, it truly has me excited. I can see 4 horses, just by looking at the card, who I would fully accept as a worthy winner without even any study. Lets see if they fulfil the trends ;-)
In 20 years, only 2 horses aged over 6 have won this, Drum Tap and the peerless Yeats, so that's a starting point, and a win this season is a positive, although that wipes 1 of mine out, I'm going to keep it in because that's how I roll! GULF OF NAPLES is still hanging in but I think this would ask a lot more from him than we have seen previously. If we look at the best Racing Post Ratings achieved we can see how close it is. FAME AND GLORY 121(This race last year 20f), OPINION POLL 120(Lonsdale Cup last year 16f), COLOUR VISION 122(Sagaro Stakes 16f), SADDLERS ROCK 122(Doncaster Cup 18f) Those races incidently are Group 1,2,3,2. So do you go with value or experience over trip, class. It cetainly is an intriguing renewal.

425 BRITANNIA STAKES

I'm hoping to do a bit better here than in the Hunt cup yesterday, although I say Cai Shen would have been much closer with some luck in running. Anyway. Only 1 of the last 10 runners have carried more than 8-13, there's your starting point. Also last time out winners have struggled, as have horses beaten over 5 lengths last time out. And horses dropping in trip from 1m1+. I'm left with 3! MISSISIPPI, LUCKY HENRY and DEMOCRETES. I'd favour the first 2 as the latter is stepping up from 6f-8f, based on the record of those drawn in the extremes, top 6, bottom 6 i'm going to use override to pull back William Haggas' progressive FAST OR FREE as well. So by all means go in 4 handed, I will.

500 TERCENTENARY STAKES

This is a group 3 for 3yo over a mile and a quarter, this is generally made up of progressive sorts, so we need to be looking for those contesting Group races, any unplaced lto outside Group company can be struck off. I have it narrowed to 6, I'm going to give you 3 of them. STARBOARD, he is certainly progressing, each run to date more impressive than the last. and very game in the finish last time. MUKHADRAM, this one has contested 2 very hot maidens. Winning the most recent pretty cosily. 2 in behind that day have gone on to win easily themselves and this race was pointed out as the target straightaway. The third one is more an each way shot based on the sheer overjerk of his price CAVALEIRO is not a 33/1 shot, he placed in a Group 3 Derby trial, the winner of which went on to finish second in the Derby, Cavaleiro himself was never really involved in the Derby and Hayley just bought him and herself home nicely. In reality he was 3 lengths off gaining a progressive mark for his Derby run and was probably very achievable if they had wanted to really shove the horse. A better run again today could have him right in the mix.

535 KING GEORGE V HANDINCAP

Won last year by Micheal Owen's Brown Panther. Only 1 winner has come into this from 35 days or more off the track, also horses outside the top 3 last time out have struggled to fire. The market will generally get this right or near to right, although Richard Fahey's Cosmic Sun broke the mould at 66/1 in 2009. Less exposed horses have done well with 8 from the last 10 winners coming here with 5 or less career runs. I'm left with 4. ANOMALY, PRUSSIAN, GHOST PROTOCOL and HANDSOME MAN. While the other 3 have been pretty hot and cold, ANOMALY has generally improved. I like.

FRIDAY

230 ALBANY STAKES

Only been going 10 years, but has produced some pretty decent winners, last years winner went on to land the Irish 1000 guineas. Much harder race to narrow down as positive trends outweigh the negative, in short horses do well if this is second start after a maiden win, Horses coming from Sandown have done well, and Mick Channon has won the race 3 times. Obviously then the starting point is Mick Channon's SANDREAMER , her Newmarket win has worked out nicely with the second and fourth both winning next time out. We have also Peter Chapple-Hyams AGENT ALLISON who won her Pontefract maiden hugely impressively. Another impressive demolition job earlier this month was handed out at Newmarket by the Gosden filly NEWFANGLED. I'd say those 3 would be my favourites, but plenty dangers.

305 KING EDWARD VII STAKES

A group 2 for the 3yo boys over a mile and half. This race historically certainly produces one to follow, looking down the whos-who, Saddlers Hall, Papal Bull, Mutafaweq, Campanologist, Monterosso, and last year Nathaniel. I'd suggest keeping the right side of the winner here. Horses without a win this season haven't done well. The best horse in the field is ASTROLOGY, it's interesting to know the tactics employed on Derby day, did he want to try to win from the front, or just blow the finish out of the others in the hope he got home, Initiator has to step up markedly to take this, huge ask for him. NOBLE MISSION is improving, I'd say arguably with Tom Quealley back on and the longer trip he has the beating now of Thought Worthy. Shantaram has serious character flaws, and Thomas Chipendale is slowly getting to his level, will get there by the end of the year. So for me it's between the O'Brien charge, and the prodigal little brother.

345 CORONATION STAKES

For this it pays to find a classic runner with black type form as a 2 year old. Another race that the punters typically get right. Well I hope they are better than me, I have it down to 9!!! well 8, i've taken Russeliana out, I think the Cherry Hinton figures are false, and that in truth that was a poor race. Ascot ourse form is pretty much a positive so SAMITAR and MAYBE both winners here have to be in the book. LAUGH OUT LOUD is still getting better all the time. ELUSIVE KATE, arguably the best 2yo filly at the back end of last year, potentially she went over the top at the breeders cup, but has to be in with a chance if she maintains that standard when fresh. Then you still have 1000 Guineas 1-2 HOMECOMING QUEEN and STARSCOPE, French Raider BUGIE D'AMOUR, who isn't coming over for a cup of tea and to see the queen, and Buick's chosen ride FALLEN FOR YOU. Good Luck with this one!

425 WOLFERTON HANDICAP STAKES

Horses having more than 2 runs this year and those unplaced last time out struggle in this. I have 4, RETRIEVE, MIJHAAR, CON ARTIST and the one that could potentially progress past the lot of them GATEWOOD. All of these have recieved RPR's in the 100's I just think that GATEWOOD is on the upgrade where the other 3 have reached their level. We'll have to see what the betting says on the day I reckon.

500 QUEENS VASE

A 2 mile group 3 for 3 year olds. The breeding is pivotal, if the Sire Index is less than 10f you have no chance. So those by Acclamation, Singspiel and Avonbridge may as well stay home. Horses that have remained unraced until 3yo season have done better than those that raced as 2yo. MINIMISE RISK would be my favourite here, but don't write off ED DE GAS.

535 BUCKINGHAM PALACE STAKES

Only the 32 runners over 7 furlongs here. Nothing to worry about!!! I can narrow to 17 by removing horses that haven't acted on either Ground, Distance or Course, by that I'm going by 3 or more runs without a win. Generally we need to look at extreme drawn horses, high numbers or low numbers, for 32 runners id say just wipe out anything between 10-20. I have 11 left. So we need to look at the positives, 7f specialists and Ascot course form are pretty solid yardsticks. ADVANCED, CASTLES IN THE AIR and NOBLE CITIZEN all have Course and Distance wins. DUCAL will have to be respected if he gets in, Amy Weavers TARIQ TOO is certainly proving himself game for the fight, as is Ruth Carr's IMPERIAL DJAY. SPECTACLE DE MARS, RAKAAN and HAAMAAT are the others i still have uncrossed.

Good Luck in whatever you choose, I only hope I can be of help.

Wednesday 20th June -

Morning all, a bad start for the tips at the Royal Meeting, but any eagle eyed readers who read the early release betting guide will have noticed that the first 3 home in the Windsor Castle were in the final shortlist of 6. Today looks a bit trickier! I have some more attractive prices so each way players can join in today, remember to read the day 2 betting guide, I've put in some nice pointers to help trim down the fields, no doubt one or two will be proven as completely wrong again today, but every little helps. Newbie corner returns today, no qualifiers yesterday but 2 pretty hot looking maidens at Kempton tonight.
And the football, Well done England, winning the group has pretty much pissed up my forecast of the rest of the competition but we can't complain really can we, although it has seriously hampered our chances of making the final in my opinion, as after beating Italy on Sunday, we will face the Germans in the semi final!
Right here's my tips.

Good Luck and Happy Punting

Royal Ascot Day 2 - Wednesday

230 JERSEY STAKES

An often tricky little Group 3 to negotiate, for 3yo over 7 furlongs, it's one of the bigger races for horses that are too slow for sprints but can't quite get a mile. The first pointer is that a good run in the King Charles is often a decent starting point. Obviously that brings in Roger Varian's ALJAMAAHEER, I'd worry for his chances if it got softer, but no rain between now and then and he'll likely be bang in the mix, with regards to experience, it's quite fractious with Group winners struggling under the penalty but Listed winners doing well, and one that jumps off the page, especially at Paddy Power's current quote of 20/1 is the Hannon/Hughes offering PRODUCER, The final indicator appears to be a push in the direction of Guineas runners, and with the 2nd and 3rd in the Irish 1000 and 2000 Guineas respectively ISHVANA and REPLY lining up, this should be a competitive renewal. SWISS SPIRIT is another currently in good heart, and Mickael Barzalona is reunited after giving him a peach of a ride last time out.

305 WINDSOR FOREST STAKES

Negatives = Never won at Group Level, Carrying a Group 1 penalty, and Godolphin? That's what I'm given from the ATR microsite, if you take them out along with prolific Ascot loser CHACHAMAIDEE and 0-4 for the trip BAREFOOT LADY it leaves you just 3 horses, BEATRICE AURORE, CLINICAL and JOVIALITY. Apparently one of the best form races is Epsom's Princess Elizabeth Stakes, which if you check was headed by CLINICAL from JOVIALITY.

345 PRINCE OF WALES STAKES

This race is quite easily trimmed down really, actual form in the book looks a must, coming into the race with an unplaced effort last time out is pretty much a no no, and runners who have never won a Group 1 previously have struggled, I have it down to 2, the odds on favourite SO YOU THINK, and the 9/1 shot who BEAT him in the World Cup over in Dubai PLANTEUR. I think my mind is pretty much made up where my money is going, and if you can't see the value then you'll have to wait until tomorrow. :-) If I were to have an each way bet then it would go on Godolphin's CITY STYLE, Ran competively in Dubai and is grossly overpriced.

425 ROYAL HUNT CUP

This is THE betting event of the day, the Heritage Handicap. Favourites have struggled, and the rank outsiders have also failed, horses aged 6 or older don't win, only 1 from 83 runners! and horses stepping down from Group or Listed company likewise just 1 winner from 54. Only 2 winners have come from the top 20% of the weight and no claiming jockey has ever won. Got all that? If so it's time to narrow down. Extreme High or Low draws go well, and I'm comfortable with a hand of 4, I've overidden a little and in no particular order I'll throw in MAN OF ACTION, EDINBURGH NIGHT, CAPTAIN BERTIE and CAI SHEN.

500 QUEEN MARY STAKES

A 27 runner 5f for 2yo fillies, sounds like fun? Well it's not as easy as it looks. Haha. Not recording a victory last time out is pretty much a no no, that cuts the field in half to 13, once or never raced fillies tend to struggle, so we're now down to 8. We can wipe out Madam Mojito with a breeding statistic relating to Sire index, I'll not bore you with that, essentially this race should prove too quick. Unbeaten fillies have done well and we should, if you've been listening, only have one of them left, JADANNA. The Marygate stakes at York is one of the better clues, we have the winner of that here, CIELING KITTY, Mick Channon and Richard Hannon have done well in this race, they saddle GRAPHIC GUEST and MISS DIVA respectively, slap between GG and MD is Bill Turner's progressive LADY PHILL, that one has to be in the reckoning, then we are just left with ALL FUR COAT and SHARAARAH, the latter being the weakest due to dropping in trip. if I were to throw 2 early darts at the paper I'd hope they landed in CIELING KITTY for the low numbers and GRAPHIC GUEST for the high ones, but we've 24 hours to go away and think about it.

535 SANDRINGHAM HANDICAP

The negative trends for this are horses rated below 90 and horses without a win this season. That leaves me with 4!!! One of which I was hoping would be in there. FALLS OF LORA, will be my pick. But we'll see if the positives point towards the others. Last time out winners do well which picks out ELECTRELANE of the 4, the winner generally comes from the top 6 in the market, no betting as yet so we will have to see, but I wouldn't discount FOL as is likely to be the Godolphin White Cap and set to be a bigger price than stablemate Pimpernel, who she dispatched comfortably in Dubai. Horses who waited until 3yo season to shake their maiden tag have done well, that points to Irish Raider DUNTLE, who ran well in a decent classic trial last time out. Finally the Nell Gwyn is a decent warmer for this and the winner ESENTEPE has to be respected, so there you have it, the 4 left in after the negatives, all have a positive to carry. To pays you money and takes your choice people.

Obviously this isn't failproof, and there are always exceptions to prove a rule, but hopefully again the winners will be on this blog and you can all make some moneys, my tips for Day 1 should be below this blog post, with my reasonings below that, and my tips for Wednesday will be up first thing.
ENJOY.

Tuesday 19th June -

Morning all, the start of Royal Ascot, you had my thoughts and feelings yesterday. So my final declarations come today. I'm going to do my level best to get the day 2 up ASAP today, although it's not as straightforward as Day 1, I'm not suggesting Day 1 is straightforward, it's just closer to it!!! Obviously with Royal Ascot and England playing today is going to be pretty busy for me.

ENGLAND 3 UKRAINE 1 - ROONEY

Good Luck and Happy Punting

Royal Ascot Day 1 - Tuesday

My tips will appear day as usual but I'm just having a look at each race in advance.

230 QUEEN ANNE STAKES

FRANKEL will be only the second winning favourite of this race. The big guns will be out looking for the place money, EXCELEBRATION looks likely to come second again, but then there should be some value for third place. Plenty of Group winners in behind, I'd suggest maybe Godolphin's HELMET who was a group1 winner in Australia. But mostly just sit back and enjoy FRANKEL, he is an animal to be proud of.

305 KING'S STAND STAKES

The Market hasn't been far off recently in this race, despite it being such a large betting event. Given the record of Australian runners in the race, ORTENSIA has to make huge appeal, and if you want a huge price chance of a place, drawn right next to him is STEPPER POINT, who on last start finished second to WIZZ KID in Group 2 company in France. SP is 50/1, WK is 6/1, Can you spot the value? TANGERINE TREES is another big price, a Group 1 winner at the distance and drawn next door to one of the big favourites, BATED BREATH. I can't write off SOLE POWER, but all my other fancies are drawn the other side, although he could get a lead off front running MASAMAH. I'll make my pick tomorrow, but it's likely to be ORTENSIA.

345 ST JAMES'S PALACE STAKES

The favourite has won the last 4 renewals of this, an Irish Guineas run has proven a good build up, and Aidan O'Brien has a great record in the race. All points to POWER. He is a favourite of mine, I was disappointed by his Newmarket run but he paid me back by winning the Irish Guineas. French Guineas winner LUCAYAN is an interesting entry, also i'm intrigued that William Buick chooses tor ride THE NILE over more fancied stablemate FENCING. But hopefully I'll e singing along to Snap tomorrow.

425 COVENTRY STAKES

The Last 10 winners all won last time out, that wipes out about half of a tricky looking field. One interesting stat though is that no horse has won this with a run within 3 weeks prior, that actually wipes out the favourite DAWN APPROACH, but anyone worth their salt knows that if Jim Bolger send's one over, he thinks it has a chance. The Hannon first string SIR PRANCELOT has also had a run within the last 3 weeks. ENGLISHMAN for the Hill's team and LINES OF BATTLE for Aidan O'Brien both have solid form from their maiden wins. But I think DAWN APPROACH should be good enough. He's won 3 races pretty comfortably, if not him then LINES OF BATTLE for me. LOB form looks better than stablemate CRISTOFORO COLUMBO and Ryan Moore certainly knows where the winning line is, incidently he rode Power to win this last year. An outside chance could be Kevin Ryan's INDIAN JADE, unbeaten in 2, and upset a very hot fancy last time out.

500 ASCOT STAKES HANDICAP

This will be one I look at more tomorrow, just glancing my eyes over I like COSIMO DE MEDICI, It's generally profitable to follow Hughie Morrison at Royal Ascot, also the elephant AL KHAWANEEJ, this horse is huge, if he turns out with the ability to jump a fence he'll probably be pretty good.

535 WINDSOR CASTLE STAKES

A very tough race to call, another that I'll be looking at in more appeal later and making my final bet on the day. I can't really see one that jumps off the page at me, 1 or 2 that should get black-type this year perhaps. 3 that I quite like are drawn together in the high numbers, I think that might be the wrong side, I'm not 100% sure, but they are DYLANBARU, HOTOTO and TOMMY'S SECRET, in smaller numbers LYRIC ACE, BUNGLE IN THE JUNGLE and ALHEBAYEB. Final decision to be made tomorrow.

Day 2 will follow so keep your eyes peeled. Hopefully all 6 Day 1 winners appear on this blog. Pigs...Fly... etc... Be Lucky.

Monday 18th June -

Morning all, Libranno broke us even yesterday, but 2 very close seconds could have swung it, never mind. Just a quick one today, barf inducing racing in all truth. I have 3 bets, then 2 interesting newcomers.

(NAP) SASH OF HONOUR 840 WINDSOR
Shown ability in 2 much hotter races than this. Multiple winners come out of both starts to date.

GANGSTER BANKSTERS 415 CARLISLE
Comfortable put away last time out, but winner has won again. Should win before too long in handicap company and today could be the day to catch at a price.

SET TO MUSIC 755 WARWICK
I'm quite taken by the queens filly, I think she's a good horse. There may be slight concerns with the ground but they are probably more worried about that than any of her rivals.

NEWBIE CORNER
SKY GARDEN 640 WINDSOR
Haggas can't do a lot wrong at the moment.
RUSLAND 840 WINDSOR
Not from "sexy" connections, so will be overpriced. Won't have to be too good to make an impression, hopefully won't get to the NAP though.

FOOTBALL

Well these last 2 days haven't gone exactly to plan, I bet people tradiong on who goes through/out are having a field day during the games. I'll just give my bets and not pretend that I can call these football matches. I had Ireland to beat Italy pre tournament but the Italians have pleasantly surprised me, whereas the Irish have been weak. They have an abundance of passion in the stands and just can't seem to translate it to the pitch.

SPAIN 1 CROATIA 0 - XAVI
ITALY 3 IRELAND 1 - MARCHISIO

Good Luck and Happy Punting.

Sunday 17th June -

Morning all, and Happy Fathers Day to everyone qualified. A nice 5.44point profit to SP's yesterday, it would be futile to work anything out at any sort of early price with the amount of Non-runners/Rule4's. Some nice looking things today, hopefully Kissed can repay some of the Antepost money in France. And Inxile should be a price to retain the race he won easily last year in Ireland. Fury steps back into Group company, having finally got his head in front again. All makes for a decent day, with the "culture" group of the Euro's tonight as well it's certainly Dads day in my house! I will just list my selections, they have been worked out, but I'm a statistical guy rather than a read the race guy, I can read a race when it's printed in yesterdays paper, but if you want true skills in this I can suggest others to follow. Plus after unearthing a nice 20/1 nk length runner up yesterday i have a couple newcomers to watch again, 2 of which should be proper 'orses.
When I've finished here, I shall dive into yesterdays formlines then begin my blog for Royal Ascot, i have until the kids get up and want to give me presents and stuff.

I'd suggest following these until 1st Hcap start, if they don't win by then, they probably won't!

FOOTBALL

Germany will batter Denmark, they are perfect in every part of the pitch and it took a moment of magic from Van Persie to even give Holland a glimmer of hope. Thomas Muller hasn't really got firing yet, but he is a chap for a big occasion so I'll pop him down for the first goal.
GERMANY 3 DENMARK 0 - MULLER

I think the Dutch will be absolutely enthused by the fact that they can still qualify, and I don't think Portugal are good enough to play out a draw, so I'm hoping both teams will go for the jugular, Holland to win by the odd goal. I'll be supporting Holland as I'm not a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo FC, Arjen Robben wasn't best impressed being subbed versus the Germans and might have a point to prove.
HOLLAND 3 PORTUGAL 2 - ROBBEN

Good Luck and Happy Punting.

Saturday 16th June -

Morning all, 3 winners yesterday but not quite over the profit line, unfortunately. Hopefully today will be better, although it's a very tricky card. But as I've stated before these races are why we do what we do, ultra competitive and getting one of these right certainly outweighs tipping up Frankel to win the Queen Anne! Should be a good weekend for me, as hopefully my Group win bets on Russia and Germany will come up, I have 3 players in the top 20 of the US Open, which is nice, at 50, 250 and 500!!! And with todays selections 1 or 2 could make us a tidy profit.

FOOTBALL

Firstly I am sticking with my pre tournament prediciton of a draw between Russia and Greece, and it's possible, unless Poland batter Czech (or if Czech beat Poland, unlikely imo), Russia just need 1 point to top the group, they will know this, id imagine 1 or 2 will be rested, I expect Russia to score first, early on and the Greeks are much better when they have gone behind and often finish the game well, I said draw pre tounament and I'm sticking to it, so help me god.
RUSSIA 1 GREECE 1 - DZAGOEV

I fancy Poland to beat Czech Rep, the co-hosts have looked much better than their ageing opponents and will assault them with a barrage of attack just like the Russians did, A draw won't be enough for Poland and the fans will be in full voice to assist matters. The Czechs have looked second best in both games, apart from the first 10 minutes v Greece, and up against it here too. I think Poland to lead and when news breaks of Greece's equaliser really kick into top gear, but not quite enough to top the group.
POLAND 3 CZECH REP 1 - LEWANDOWSKI

Morning all, another blank yesterday, which is a shame, but I think I've some shoe-ins today. Ha ha. "We'll see" comes the derision from the crowd. Still trying to get over the Harry Redknapp news. I'm sceptical about Moyes, he's done a great job at Everton, but we are a completely different club, I'm not saying we are much better, much worse, I just feel we are different, in outlook, stature etc... I like his nous in the transfer market, he has done very well for Everton on little to no budget at times, also he will bring a passion for local derbies with him which is essential. We'll see, if he comes I'll support him and the team as always, but if we don't get White Hart Lane football or results then I'm not sure he will be given much chance to prove himself. Anyway this is a racing tips blog so racing tips you shall get. Just 6 today, hopefully a winner or 6 today!

SPAIN v IRELAND
This will be 90 minutes of the Irish chasing a ball, something akin to if Stoke played Barcelona, and if you look at the line ups similarities are rife throughout. The problem with Spain is they are as ruthless as a kitten. Against Italy, a side in turmoil, battered 3-0 in final friendly, match fixing scandal rife off the pitch. They didn't play a striker!!!!!! I think Spain will break through the Green bus at some point but it will be a very frustrating game for Spaniards and neutrals and a bold effort from the Boys in Green.
SPAIN 1 IRELAND 0 - XAVI

ITALY v CROATIA
These 2 sides were both better than I had estimated before the tournament. Croatia lead the group and a draw would be plenty for them. They have a lethal strikeforce in Jelavic and Manzukic ably assisted by the class of Modric. The Italians not the most forward thinking mentality but will play with passion. I think Italy will believe that they can beat the Irish and therefore will also be quite content with the draw.
ITALY 1 CROATIA 1 - MARCHISIO

Good Luck and Happy Punting.

Morning all, small margins again yesterday. Cyrus was beaten in a head bobber after running on from an unwinnable position, Piscean got absolutely no luck in running when travelling very well and You're the Top kept on for 3rd at 12/1 so rewarded EW players. But the stats will show 3 horses 3 losers -3pts. I haven't a lot of time this morning, so I'll just dive in.

Another CS landed last night, shame I didn't quite get the intricacies right or it would have been a massive payday. 2 intriguing games tonight.

DENMARK v PORTUGAL
A draw will likely be good enough to send the Danes through and they will know it. But Portugal obviously have the class in their side of Cristiano Ronaldo, although he's never been a player for the big stage, he always has the potential of 1 game. I'll go Bendtner to open the scoring and the Danes to sit on it like they did v Holland but a moment of magic from Cristiano to keep the Portugese slim hopes alive.
DENMARK 1 PORTUGAL 1 - Bendtner

HOLLAND v GERMANY
The Dutch had little urgency v Denmark, Van Persie was easily dealt with, now the Germans are better than Denmark, more disciplined than Denmark and have a far more potent attacking threat than Denmark. These are another 2 sides that don't really get on, but the Germans are just perfect, if you were a coach you'd happily show your team vid after vid. An unpretty but perfect 1-0
GERMANY 1 HOLLAND 0 - Muller

Happy Punting

Tuesday 12th June -

Morning all, I'm 29 today (I do go backwards now, right?) Just a real quickie today, I'm not going to test out birthday luck, because my overall luck has been pretty poor lately, I'm just putting up 3 today. That's all. I'll go straight in.

CYRUS SOD - 1515 LINGFIELD (NAP)
was beaten by 2 he was giving away a stone in weight to on handicap debut. Final maiden attempt he was seen off only by a smart performer who competed a large prize on Saturday. Ground no concern, Sire has SR in double figures on soft and heavy, question marks on the distance but dams full brother Eijaaz is a multiple winner over 1m4/1m6, this one has to start winning soon and appears to have been found a solid opening.

PISCEAN - 1550 LINGFIELD
AW-Turf Strike rate reads 28%-8% meaning he will be happy that this is the first race on the polytrack at Lingfield today. 25% at the track, 50% over the distance, the negatives are that he is higher in the weights than ever, and yet to win at this level. But pretty prolific below it. Has a chance at a decent price if things fall right.

YOU'RE THE TOP - 2040 SOUTHWELL
One for the incredible pairing of Henderson-McCoy. 33% strike rate on all career starts. Missed over a year with injury, but kept in by connections and may well have needed last times run. Hurdle form reads 33F111, this was a festival rated horse in his day and todays handicap rating of 130 is lower than that he achieved on final hurdle win (131) before going chasing. Bet365 are laying at 9/1 while he is as low as 13/2 elsewhere, I believe the latter price will look good come racetime if he has a chance. Surely any horse with McCoy on has A chance?

That's it for me, now the footy.

A great day yesterday, correctly predicting both results with a CS thrown in on the England game.
GREECE v CZECH REP
The Greeks won't be as urgent as Russia, that will help the ageing Czech's no end. But we will get more clue as to the standard of the teams in this group. I think the Greeks will be keen to get 3 points on the board after squandering chances and suffering from bad decisions versus the co-hosts. I predict
GREECE 1 CZECH REP 0 - GEKAS to score.

POLAND v RUSSIA
Expect a full blooded game here, the Poles and Russians don't generally see eye to eye, and perhaps the football could be lost. That will play into the hands of the Poles, who lets face it, are much less classy than their opponents. I think the hosts will take home advantage in hand and the scrappy game to take the lead but will struggle to withstand the inevitable barrage of Russian pressure and the visitors will equalise.
POLAND 1 RUSSIA 1 - Lewandowski is to obvious so I'm taking a punt on OBRANIAK

Good Luck and Happy Punting

Monday 11th June -

Morning all, What a horrid weekend, one that began with so much promise, has passed with financial plague. We have to move on, it's the only way to deal with it. Well we've seen Group C and it's the one I've called wrong. Mostly I think I've given Spain too much credit and Croatia not enough. A little message to Spain, Arsenal, Barcelona, your side to side, keepy ball game has been worked out, you guys need a plan B. I'll get on with today's fare, it's not hugely inspiring. Hopefully we can nick a winner or 2. I'm going to split the Rated / alert horses just so you can see which I've picked myself today and which I haven't.

Wow yesterday was tough, perhaps tougher than i had initially thought. Resulting in a very large loss. I'm looking for something to blame, I'm not finding it. Maybe the ground changing throughout the morning is my only saving grace. Today has not a lot going on. I've a few. Our Golf challenge this week is as good as over really. And then I will put up some footie after a shock result yesterday, who knows what can happen today.

Friday 8th June -

Another losing day for the blog, after a promising start to the month, it's steadily slip sliding away. I have my opinions on why and have hopefully seized to iron that out. Yesterday was a crazy day for my alert horses, 7 winners ranging from 6/4-16/1, now that's not going to happen everyday but I've had some solid prices come in from the alerts recently including a 66/1 back on the 15th of last month. So from now on the blog will be a spattering of rated and alert horses, sometimes 2 or more in a race, they will be in alphabetical and not preference order so as not to garden path you guys.

Here's my selections for today.

FOOTBALL

If you didn't know the Euros start today, I'm not sure the Ukrainians were sent the memo judging by the building sites on the news last night. But we all know that FIFA/UEFA are a joke and their placement of major tournaments leaves a lot to be desired. There are 2 matches tonight and we start with the mouth watering clash between..... Poland and Greece!
I think this is going to be a horrible match to watch, I'd likely not bother but I'll be at work so I will. I predict a 0-0 draw, and given that the price on that outcome has been shortening this morning I'd say plenty agree.
The second game should be far more aesthetic, Russia v Czech Republic, The Czech's were a very good side 10 years ago, the problem is they still have pretty much the same team, their top scorer in qualifying was the left back who takes penalties and set pieces. Russia have threats from all angles and the Czech's will be very reliant on their best player Petr Cech to keep the score respectable.
I'm going for the following.
RUSSIA 2 CZECH 0 9/1
SHIROKOV 1st GL 10/1
and the scorecast at 60/1

Thursday 7th June -

Another day of close run things yesterday, a 4 point loss but 4 placed efforts. Small margins. I have a couple of huge prices in here today, so if one of them lands we will be quids in today.

Tuesday 5th June -

How are we all doing? A little loss yesterday, but an unfortunate one, especially with Choral being caught at the post, that would have made a profit. That's how small the margins are in this game. I've drawn out a 96 line placepot at Yarmouth if anybody wants to join in, leg 4 is probably the riskiest one for me but if it fruits then the pot could swell. I'll tuck that in after my tips. My NAP today stands out at the price, MATA HARI BLUE, 525 Leicester, she's a pretty decent mare, with a number of places here at Leicester, 3 runs at 6f have dropped her mark a little and the return to 5f will suit better. Most eyecatching though is the booking of Richard Hughes. as far as i can tell this is his first ride for this trainer, and he has made the frame on, pretty much, half of his total rides at the track. I've backed at 7.6 on Betfair.

Monday 4th June - Bank Holiday Muck

Today takes the proverbial, even for a bank holiday, 8 meetings across UK+IRE and only 5 races at Class 3 or above!!! That's pretty atrocious really. 2 of those are listed races for 2yo at Naas. Right I've had a little look, I've a fair few alerts running today so I've just picked out a few in the better events. Hopefully we can grab a winner or two, yesterday we were saved by the bell. 6 runners with no reward then a 15/2 shot got up in the very last betting event we were involved in. I'll crack on.

Saturday 2nd June - Derby Day

Right this will just have to be a quick one this morning, I'm back!!! But a slight lay in, little preperation the night before and lots to do today, combined with the amount of quality racing has meant more study time, less waffle time. I shall have to update the side bars tomorrow, with regards AP bets and stats. I left you all with a few winners last Saturday, 4/5 in fact so hope you were happy with that. It's the Derby today and I'd love to wax lyrical about it but just don't have the time, I am truly sorry for that. My Ratings throw up a 1-2-3 of Bonfire-Main Sequence-Camelot, so we'll see how close we get to that? Right I'll start with my treble, then my tips, then a few fun bets at the bottom, which you follow at your own leisure, it's new, I'm trialling it.
