Advantage gamblers are disliked by onland and online casinos. Online, advantage gamblers are accused of bonus abuse and have their winnings confiscated. Onland, card counters are intimidated and bundled into back-rooms by casino security staff and so on.

For my money, advantage gamblers play the casino hard, but fairly in an attempt win some chips/money. This is gambling.

It is the bookmakers or casinos prerogative to bar "unwanted punters", but not until the house has payed the clever gambler their winnings.

Bob Nersesian, an attorney in America, has won many cases for the advantage gambler against the casinos on the Vegas strip and beyond. I like Bob..

A betting shop robber who brandishes a handgun and carries a Tesco carrier bag - who first struck in Watford last year, is now believed to have committed six offences across the county.

The picture of the "bookie robber" looks like the armed thief is atleast 60 years old.

♠ The National Lottery lawyers have nothing better to do, than insist a blogger remove a funny graphic, hence the above link will not show the smallest ever lottery prize anyome.

Well I thought it was interesting and quite funny, even if the suits at the National Lottery did not.

The TradeSports North Korean Missile Prediction Market Debacle is an odd one. The terms of the prediction market contract have been met, but the end decision is a dumb one. Tradesports should pay both ends of the market from their own funds as pennance, then chalk it up as experience.

Gamblog Comment :: Now how stupid is that? I will endeavour to learn all I can about Prediction Markets, but if this market result is anything to go by, it might not be a good idea. I'd get more sense of a taking on a fair wager playing virtual coin toss with Senator Kyl, rather than dealing with Tradesports.com silly prediction market contract stipulations, that defeat the object of gambling and winning fair and square.

If this is the best Tradesports can do, the Americans might aswell ban online gambling and be done with it.

eCOGRA - A Gift To The Industry is a must read. (watch out for the popup advertisng)

It is nice to know someone thinks Cassava - 888.com and Microgaming funding their own watchdog will inevitably result in the online gaming industry ridding itself of it's "stigma" and will be therefore accepted into "all realms of society".

Ecogra - A Brucie Bonus For All Online Casino Punters?
I look the gift horse in the mouth that is Ecogra and see no action regarding advantage players being accused of bonus abuse, merely for following the precise casino terms and conditions.

Assured Game Fairness?
No action regarding publicising the TGTR payout verification system, therefore players have to simply trust PWC SA that the games are fair. This while the independant 3rd party Ecogra "assures" the public the game is fair. Think about it.

Ethics For All?
No action on the malware/scumware/spyware/adware ethics issue, unless it involves another unsealed software supplier (gambling federation). This while not having the staff nor time to even comment in public about the issue of varied adware based marketing practises, utilised by their own sealed casinos and poker rooms.

Spam?
Don't mention spam - it is not the casinos fault, it's just that their buddies are so naughty, - not Ecogra's remit apparently (unless dealt with privately).

Comment.
A present to the industry? - Ecogra? - righteo. Not until they do something noteworthy for the player, that other player advocates have not been already doing since year dot.

Gamblog Comment :: So now you know. Big online gambling firm and organised crime - the mob, surprise surprise.

Online Gaming and the Mob
♠ Betonsports Mob Connection?

Betting Market - Niall O'Connor is on the case. Rumours have been abound that Betonsports were running the self proclaimed independant sportsbook watchdogs OSGA (offshore gaming association) and the ISBC (international sportsbook council)

Read Niall's bogus watchdog investigation report.
♠ Betonsports - A bad case of double standards?

Gamblog Comment :: Nothing new here for me personally. But the lesser spotted online gambler will find it interesting to see how a sportsbook listed on the UK stock market behave. Not to mention allegations levelled against Betonports regarding ties to the mob

Why Alhaajes jockey Martin Dwyer figured riding a 1/7 odds on favourite at Pontefract 6 wide around the whole course is beyond me.

No, I never backed the highly tried horse, who clearly should not have been a 1/7 shot. That said, jockey Dwyer never helped his charge very much atall.

There is a Cricket Blog called "The Corridor", that once was called "The Corridor of Uncertainty", but the unofficial England cricket team fanzine also called The Corridor Of Uncertainty claimed copyright. Now the Corridor of uncertainty blog has been officially renamed - The Corridor - "a cricket blog"

♠ Andy Clark writes the England fanzine. An England cricket fan that writes various cricketing articles etc.

♠ Will Luke writes the blog, now called the Corridor. Will works for Cricinfo in Latimer Road (bramley) I think.

Confused? Well Geoff Boycott should claim the copyright on "The Corridor Of Uncertainty" and let both cricket authors use the phrase. Better still, Andy Clark should link up Will's blog, Will should link up Andy's fanzine, thereby increasing the cricket readers experience, which is what both ventures are there for right?

The Casinomeister Has Removed Mansion Casino From The Accredited List for allegedly re-dealing (recycling) discarded cards on their multi-hand-video-poker.

This is cheating if true, whether by accident or design. Cheating - ie paying out less than the advertised percentage to the house.

I have seen no evidence of "recycling" discarded cards as yet, but the accusation is there and Mansion have been slow to respond to the claim.

Gamblog comment - Proceed with caution. Mansion are a casino that approached me for advertising. I said no, because the casino software was unknown to me (proprietary - built in house) and the casino had only been in operation a short while. I would advise players to not play at new casinos with unknown software. That is where bonus hunters do the casinos a favour - ie test the games and how the casino deals with players. The billionaire owned Mansion Casino, have failed to even get the bonus terms into a legible format, now we have accusations of dodgy cards being dealt.

World Cup 2006 sees some European nations gambling monopolies continue to rip of the punter says Niall O'Conner from The Betting Market

Lack of competition, or a monopoly situation will almost certainly lead to bookmakers taking liberties with the percentage to the house. I have read reports that gamblers playing in the greedy state-run Swedish onland casinos, get the value odds to play with around the 70% mark on video-poker. Yes, I said video-poker, not slot machines. This was word of mouth, I have not been to Sweden.

Niall O'Conner recorded the overround for the World Cup betting odds offered by Swedish and German gambling monopolies. With greedy 24% margins weighted to the house and no competition allowed to take a view and even out the overround, Niall has proven to me the Swedish punters are being taken for mugs, by law.

The UK is still in the grip of a heatwave. Last wednesday was the hottest day ever in any July apparently. The weather forecast is very similar for this week here in Southern England. The hottest day forecasted for this week is wednesday, 26th of July.

Bookmakers have stopped pricing up markets and taking bets on whether various sporting events will be streaked or not by the likes of serial streaker Mark Roberts.

Why No More Steaker Betting?
Because the streakers and their friends have apparently been placing bets with the bookies offering odds that a streak will indeed take place. Naughty gamblers!

Gamblog Comment - I guess odds on offer from various bookmakers that a nutter will strip off and streak any given sporting event, has in fact spawned more nude streakers. I have no evidence of such whatsoever, but I would'nt be the slightest bit surprised, especially where money and betting is involved.

Yarmouth, 24 July 2006

2:30 E.b.f. Median Auction Maiden Stakes
Piccolena Boy gets the vote over Loves Bidding and Astroangel in the opener at the seaside track. Piccolena Boy is going the right way judged on the latest of his three runs at Bath to date, as he was the only one to trouble the impressive winner Abunai. He looks just the sort to follow when tackling nursery company, but in the meantime can open his account here with conditions to suit. Loves Bidding has had more opportunities, and we should not get carried away by the fact that he ran in the Norfolk Stakes as he finished last of 11. Astroangel shaped as though she would be suited by a step up in trip when fourth over six furlongs on the Kempton Polytrack 12 days ago, so it is odd to see her dropped back to the minimum. Cookies Quiff was third in a Bath seller on his debut and is another destined to go the nursery route in time, and all in all it is Piccolena Boy that makes the most appeal on this occasion.


3:00 Wbx.com World Bet Exchange Nursery Handicap
Hart Of Gold is the pick over the likes of Little Miss Wizzy, Dubai Magic and Suhayl Star. Having been a beaten favourite twice in succession earlier in the season, Hart Of Gold showed vast improvement to open his account at Wolverhampton in June, thanks to a gelding operation and step up in trip. He has continued to give a good account since, and was not beaten far by Ingleby Princess on Turf at Musselburgh the time before last. He looks just the sort to follow in this sphere, and with his apprentice rider able to claim 5lb, the Mark Wallace inmate is worth supporting. Little Miss Wizzy gets in on bottom weight and begins nursery life on a modest mark, but might prefer easier going, while Dubai Magic was totally outclassed in the TNT July Stakes at Newmarket and will be more at home in this grade. He made most when scoring at Salisbury the time before last and can give the selection most to do. Suhayl Star has yet to find his right trip, but is another that should eventually pay to follow at this level. For the winner we return to Hart Of Gold.


3:35 Letheby & Christopher Selling Stakes
Sunstroke is selected to get the better of Elizabeth Garrett and Diminuto in a weak looking event. Sunstroke will no doubt prove a popular choice with the holiday crowd here, and the filly has has the form to oblige based on her win in similar company at Brighton last week. She has drawn the one box and has Tom Queally in the plate again, so the scene is set for a follow-up despite the drop in trip. Elizabeth Garrett has already been beaten at this level and it is hard to see where the improvement is going to come from, while Diminuto has not repeated her fair effort in a Southwell maiden back in April and is not one to trust, even at this lowly level. The market should be noted as regards the others, but we are happy to stick with Sunstroke.


4:05 Wbx.com World Bet Exchange Handicap
Rag Tag can progress again to score at the expense of Polish Emperor, Vindication and Silver Dane. Rag Tag caused a 25-1 shock when landing a Bath maiden last year, but has failed to trouble the judge since. However, Andrew Balding's gelding showed an imminent return to form when third at Haydock eight days ago, showing very good speed for quite a long way in the race won by Shes Minnie. He will relish the fast ground and has been found a most suitable opportunity to get back winning ways. Polish Emperor has topweight but is actually down to a decent mark now. Even so, his recent form is hardly inspiring, and he is passed over. Vindication did not find much when popped the question at Lingfield last time, and is another that is hard to fancy, while Silver Dane has been out of form of late. Mind you, he was successful here in March and has conditions in his favour. Manniko is a big, strapping sort that would have claims on his form earlier in the season, but Rag Tag can beat them all.


4:40 Weatherbys Bank Fillies' Handicap
Red Sail has in the main been consistent, and can pay to follow here ahead of String Serenade, Iamback and Lenwade. Red Sail was a respectable third in a fillies' handicap at Folkestone just over three weeks ago, and although she has only one win to her credit so far, on the Lingfield Polytrack in May, the five-year-old looks worth supporting here despite having her fair share of weight. The opposition does not appear daunting, with perhaps String Serenade the main danger. Vince Smith's charge was an easy winner at Brighton in June and has been there or thereabouts since. Iamback has been placed three times on the all-weather recently, but is only rated in the thirties, while Lenwade has not won since last September and needs to improve markedly to figure. A low grade affair should be well within the capabilities of Red Sail.


5:10 Mint Casino Great Yarmouth Handicap
Fluted Crystal has a bit of scope and is taken to land the finale at the expense of Picture Show, Tangarita and Dream Of Paradise to name but three. Fluted Crystal obviously appreciated the switch to grass when finishing third at a big price in a Leicester claimer last time, having previously shown little in two outings on the all-weather. Henry Candy's filly does not appear overburdened for her handicap bow, and is taken to open her account. Picture Show has only tried today's trip once before and failed to stay, so is perhaps best watched, while Tangarita has shown little in the way of pace, and might even need further, but is at least better off at the weights with Dream Of Paradise for the two-lengths that separated them at Beverley. This is not going to take much winning, and Fluted Crystal, whose dam is related to Broken Hearted, can enhance her paddock prospects at least by coming good at the fourth time of asking.

Windsor, 24 July 2006

6:20 Atkins For London Fillies' Handicap
A typically robust maiden event to start proceedings and among the more obvious protagonists are Gelder, Dancing Storm and Diamond Di Triano and our verdict at a big price is for Diamond Di Triano. The selection had been campaigned around the gaff tracks in order to secure her handicap mark and while on the face of it, her performance at Newmarket was disappointing, that was a much stronger race and she was taking on members of the opposite sex. Gelder is a noted tailswhisher but she ran a solid enough race at Haydock. The third let the form down on Saturday night so a bit more could be needed this evening. Dancing Storm could be at the right end of the handicap and has only gone up 2lb for a recent win at Chepstow. Hailing from an unfashionable yard, she is likely to be longer odds than her form entitles. Wagtail has proved expensive to follow in recent months after catching the eye on debut at Lingfield. Dream Rose has had plenty of chances and may not be particularly suited by this track. Aristofilia has disappointed but should be watched in the market in case there are any positive vibes as the Paul Cole operation appear to be in better form than they were. Royal Citadel looks the type who could be better suited over the mile although Libor let the form of her Bath run since. In a trappy affair, Diamond Di Triano looks the percentage call and at the likely odds, we are happy to have her on our side.


6:50 Psp Association Maiden Stakes
The market should offer most clues but among our shortlist are Montjeu Man, Persian Warrior, Farringdon and Arabian Tiger and a tentative nod is given to the last named. There was a time when Peter Chapple-Hyam's maidens would start short prices but connections have clearly had to bide their time with the son of Singspiel. On breeding the trip should suit and there is every reason to believe that he will be forward enough in his work to give us a good run for our money. Montjeu Man proved very disappointing at Wolverhampton and was notably easy to back beforehand. The market should tell us whether that was down to an inability to handle the surface or something more fundamental. Persian Warrior is related to a number of classic winning milers. He has already had the unkindest cut of all. Farringdon cost 300 000gns at the sales and has the benefit of racecourse experience. He was particularly green on debut last term and is remarkably well bred. Florimund was easy to back on debut and Ryan Moore has elected to ride Save The Secret. Related to a number of Australian winners, the market is watched. A tricky race to evaluate without the evidence of the betting market and Arabian Tiger is chanced.


7:20 Marketform Handicap
Didn't We rates a confident selection ahead of Home Sweet Home and Fast Bowler. Terry Mills charge was tried in much better company than this without disgracing himself and he confirmed the trainer's favourable impression with a well-backed success at Folkestone. There appeared to be more to come and we are hopeful that with normal progression, this race is within his compass. Fast Bowler won on debut but has not been since that victory last year. The gelding had problems with the virus last year and connections have not been quick to rush him back. Home Sweet Home is a previous course winner but was disappointing on a follow up. This looks to be a more difficult assignment off additional weight. Bold Argument was a 50/1 scorer a fortnight ago and won't be that price again. The handicapper has raised him 3lb for that success and there could be more to come from this imposing sort. Matuza has ability but will need plenty of use made of him to gain a handy pitch. Didn't We has all the ticks in the right boxes and we shall seek not to oppose.


7:50 Sei E.b.f. Maiden Fillies' Stakes
Centreboard, Baarrij and Breezeway are the three who catch the eye and we will stick with Centreboard. Richard Hughes' mount was backed as if defeat were out of the question at Lingfield and although running green, there was enough there to suggest that compensation is around the corner. Baarij is related to a number of winners over a mile. Well drawn this evening, the market is closely inspected. Breezeway hails from a yard that have done well with their juveniles and was an expensive purchase from the sales. A daughter of Grand Lodge, there should be plenty of early pace on view. English Ballet is related to a number of sprinters but has a poor draw to overcome. Mason Ette hung left at Goodwood and can ill afford a repeat here. Career Girl is bred to get further while Dubai Shadow looks to have place claims. Plenty of winners to come out of the race and on this occasion, Centreboard looks difficult to oppose.


8:20 Southern Electric Customer Price Promise Selling Stakes
Ganymede, Monash Lad and Grand Cliquot look to be the players and we will side with Ganymede. Stephen Donahoe has been in good form of late and his valuable 5lb claim could be the difference on the recent Hamilton second. Monash Lad posted a 25/1 shock under this rider last time out and this race on paper looks no more difficult. Grand Cliquot invariably runs well at decent prices. Win backers have had to wait an awful long time for success but she is much better than her lowly rating suggests. Ambersong won this race two seasons ago but would need a substantial improvement at these terms. Yenaled is on a losing run but has a very interesting jockey booking. Agilete kept on encouragingly in an apprentice handicap at Yarmouth last time out but this perpetual maiden is dropped down in class and could give a good account. Arabian Moon is a previous course-and-distance winner while Chocolate Boy has had many chances. A modest affair in which Ganymede is recommended at minimum stakes.


8:50 Vc Casino.com Handicap
A difficult nightcap in which many have chances and it could be worth chancing Bon Viveur against Northside Lodge, Danzare and Eastborough. Bon Viveur is less exposed than most and while Richard Hannon's charge was disappointing last week, he had enough pace to win over a mile and might be capable of returning to form at this "half-way house". Northside Lodge is invariably popular and an argument could be made that he is still relatively well in versus his previous form. Danzare put up a pleasing effort from an unpromising pitch at Folkestone - there are few worries about her ability to handle the trip. Eastborough failed over further although the market should be watched as Brendan Powell has sent out a couple of winners during the last few days. Scottish River is impossible to predict but would have to be a factor if he consents to take an interest in the race. John Charles did have some useful maiden form on the all-weather and can be expected to be ridden prominently this evening. A tough race in which Bon Viveur is narrowly preferred to a number of disappointing types.

Beverley, 24 July 2006

6:30 Medieval Night Claiming Stakes
Granny Peel is hard to oppose in this company and can beat Fractured Foxy and Birdie Birdie. Kevin Ryan's filly landed three similar races on the trot, before running with credit in a class four handicap last time. She obviously loves her racing and can regain the winning thread. Fractured Foxy drops into claiming company for the first time having shown plenty of form in three modest maidens. This could be about her level and a big run is expected. Birdie Birdie is the only newcomer here and is from a top yard. If the daughter of Superior Premium is backed, take note. Denton Hawk and Ishebee are two others with solid enough form claims, but Granny Peel should be followed while she is still in this sort of form.


7:00 E.b.f. Novice Stakes
Once again Mark Johnston sets a bit of a puzzle by running two horses in the same race, however Silent Waves was most impressive on his debut and should follow up ahead of stable companion Petrosian, Coconut Queen looks booked for third. Silent Waves looked above average when taking a course and distance maiden back in June. He finished clear of the runner up Musca, who in turn was miles clear of the remainder, so both could turn out to be decent types. Petrosian is an interesting debutante being a nicely bred son of Sakhee. He does receive a fair bit of weight from the selection and so watch for any market move. Coconut Queen showed plenty of promise on her debut, finishing a close up fourth behind Big Timer over the six furlong trip here. She should come on for the outing and may take the runners up spot if Petrosian isn't fully wound up. Lady Best makes up the field but should be better over much further and so we return to Silent Waves as our choice to land the spoils.


7:30 Mkm Building Supplies Handicap
The three-year-old Advancement can take care of his elders here, the best of which could be Tough Love and Poppys Footprint. Richard Fahey's gelding gained a deserved maiden success at Southwell last time, staying on strongly to beat Bijli. There should be more to come and this extra furlong should suit. Poppys Footprint hasn't won for some time and has disappointed on her last two efforts on the all-weather. However she is now back down to a decent mark and it would be no surprise to see her go close this evening. Tough Love has managed a victory this season and looked on the way back last time when a close up third behind Fremen at York. He is getting no help from the handicapper but should make his presence felt. The pick of the rest could be Bond Diamond, but Advancement has more scope for improvement than the rest of these and he gets the verdict.


8:00 Natwest Agricultural Team Handicap
Princess Cocoa is the pick over Dimelight, Bolckow and English City. This is a tight little handicap, but Princess Cocoa has done enough of late to earn the vote. Richard Fahey's filly was fancied at Ripon last time, but after being slowly away, she used up most of her energy trying to get quickly back into contention, and had nothing left to offer as Scotland Yard romped home ahead of her and Hunting Haze. She looked the part when scoring at Chester earlier with English City behind, and is worth chancing under Paul Hanagan. Dimelight is very well bred, but the topweight looks like he needs a step up to 12 furlongs on the evidence so far. Bolckow flopped badly at Pontefract and is still a maiden, and for the winner we stay loyal to Princess Cocoa.


8:30 Family Day Here Next Tuesday Maiden Handicap
Virginia Rose gets a tentative vote over Travolta, Myrtle Bay and Wise Choice to name but a few. The only good thing to say about this contest is that one of them will lose its maiden tag, and a chance is taken that Virginia Rose will be the one. James Given's filly kept on well enough behind Baltic Princess at Hamilton last time, and will be suited by the step up in trip at least. Travolta showed his best form when second on Lingfield's Turf course the time before last and will act on the fast ground. Myrtle Bay was fancied when third behind Awaken at Hamilton and is worth a try over this longer trip, as is Wise Choice who has stamina in his make-up. Any support for the likes of Leo McGarry or Tiltili who both hail from shrewd yards should be noted, but in a very moderate contest it is Virginia Rose that is lumbered with the vote.


9:00 Sir Lupin Of Pipwithers Rides Again Handicap
Dark Charm is confidently recommended ahead of Royal Flynn and Augustine. The jockey and trainer combination of Paul Hanagan and Richard Fahey are always to be feared at lowly levels, and having narrowly failed to score at Hamilton, compensation awaits the front-runner. Royal Flynn is in receipt of weight, and cheekpieces are applied for the first time. The gelding has only found the winner's enclosure once from 21 attempts and could be unfortunate enough to find one too good again. Augustine visits the well often but with little return. Unfortunately his runs have not come without penalty from the handicapper and he may need to come down again before his turn looks likely. Suivez Moi is difficult to fancy on his reappearance while Terminator looks to have completely lost his way of late. This is an obvious chance for Dark Charm to strike gold and we will nominate accordingly.

Ayr, 24 July 2006

2:15 Ladies Night Saturday 12 August Median Auction Maiden Stakes
This doesn't look the strongest of maidens and we will plump for Carillon, Voodoo Moon and Only A Splash may provide most danger. Carillon is from the in form Mark Johnston yard and certainly looks the part on paper. She is by Desert Prince out of a Selkirk mare. No doubt she will be better over a mile in time but should have enough speed to make her presence felt in this company. Stable companion Voodoo Moon hasn't really stepped up on a promising Pontefract debut but does obviously have some ability. The ground may have been against her last time and we may see a better performance on this faster surface. The once raced Only A Splash is expected to show improvement and looks the pick of the others, but Carillon could be a decent debutante and she gets our vote.


2:45 Book Now For Totesport Gold Cup Handicap
Muara edges the verdict over Viewforth and Strawberry Patch, while Sharp Hat has confirmed that he is no back number yet and also has claims at this level. Sharp Hat had a number of these behind him when he won at Mussleburgh last month and has subsequently ran with credit on a couple of occasions. David Chapman's veteran still has a turn of foot and will be dangerous to rule out too quickly. Strawberry Patch has also got his act together well just now and is effective over the minimum trip. However, he has never won away from his beloved Mussleburgh and he needs everything to go his way. Viewforth returned to winning ways against a small field at Hamilton last week and is obviously in good heart. He carries just 4lb extra this afternoon and has to merit consideration in his current frame of mind. Any rain would be a plus where Viewforth is concerned. Nevertheless, the vote goes to Muara, who also in good form and, with the ground very much in his favour, this lightly raced son of Wolfhound can be expected to give us a good run for the money at a fair price today


3:20 Horseracingbreaks.com Handicap
If Just Lille takes his chance he will be hard to beat, but we will just side with Jellytot, with Noble Nova the pick of the others. Kevin Ryan's filly showed tremendous courage to get the better of Kasumi at Carlisle earlier this month, with the good yardstick Esoterica well beaten off in third. The handicapper hasn't been too harsh and she can make it three wins from four outings. Just Lille took a while to get into top gear at Haydock on Saturday night, but stayed on well to beat a modest field. There could be plenty more to come from Ann Duffield's filly and she rates a major threat. Noble Nova was far from disgraced, when attempting a fourth quick win off the reel in Scotland. She finished third behind Defi in that Hamilton event and although she has risen in the weights she still warrants plenty of respect. Wind Star has been knocking on the door recently and looks the pick of the rest, but Jellytot just does enough to win and may still be just ahead of the handicapper.


3:50 Weatherbys Bank Fillies' Handicap
Our Sheila has continued to defy the handicapper and can make it five wins in a row this afternoon, Aahgowangowan and Obe Bold may provide most danger. Bryan Smart's three-year-old may not be straightforward, but she's got an engine and she sprinted home to complete her four-timer at Carlisle recently. She only just does enough and might just be the type to stay a step ahead of the Handicapper. Aahgowangowan is another consistent performer and gained his second win of the season when beating two of today's rivals at Chester. She in foal at present and so we can expect to see some more of the same type of effort. Obe Bold landed a couple of decent enough races in the spring and following some poor recent efforts is now down to a handy mark. She could go well at a decent price. Top-weight Riquewihr may do best of the others, but Our Sheila is hard to ignore in this mood and she gets our vote.


4:25 Racinguk.tv Handicap
Some in form yards represented here and we will take a chance with David Barron's runner Cottingham, Regal Connection and Inch High look to be the best alternatives. The selection has been an absolute model of consistency this season and gained his fourth success when beating Fossgate at Newcastle last week. Once again ground and trip are in his favour and he looks the pick despite his massive weight . Regal Connection is still not quite firing but is now down to a very handy mark and has strong claims on the pick of last season's form. Inch High went close over course and distance last week and is from a stable that is banging in the winners. Best of the others could be Balwearie, but there could still be more to come from Cottingham and he gets our vote.


4:55 Jim Mckerrell Retiral Handicap
A very tricky contest here and a narrow vote is given to Moonlight Fantasy, Linton Dancer, Markestino and Wensleydale Star are all considered major threats. Nigel Tinkler's gelding showed much improved form to land a Ripon seller last time out. On the face of it that doesn't appear to be strong form, however he beat the 58 rated Carrietau quite easily and so could be very well treated here this afternoon. Markestino ran well to finish third to Farne Isle last week and still looks on a decent enough mark. Linton Dancer has been running better than her form figures suggest and although she could do with a slight drop in the weights she should still be involved in the finsih. Wensleydale Star is at the right end of the handicap and looked on the way back last time. Of the remainder River Logic can also be given an each-way squeak but Moonlight Fantasy could be on the upgrade and he is the sporting choice.


5:25 Dawn Homes Handicap
Legal Dram and Walnut Grove are the only two here with recent winning form and they could fight out the finish here, we will side with the last named, Second Reef may do best of the others. Walnut Grove disappointed when a well backed favourite last time out at Hamilton but had previously most impressive when winning at Beverley. The form of that contest has worked out really well and if that last effort was just a blip he could be the best option today. Legal Dram was making his turf debut when successful at Beverley last time. He was racing for only the sixth time and was having his first outing since January. He may be capable of slightly better. The pick of the others could be the consistent Second Reef, but Walnut Grove does appear to have the strongest form on show and he gets the verdict.

I Hate Online Gambling Sites states fellow blogger Captain Ed - touche.

Robbing gamblers is not the captains beef. Nor the spyware. Nor the stupid popup adverts. Nor the unfair games. Nor the pathetic PR stunts pulled by the yawn that is Golden Palace. I could go on, I could probably write a book.

♠ The captain is pissed off at casino affiliates spamming his blog via any means possible. The casinos & poker rooms play dumb all the while. "It's not us guv, it's those nasty affs sending us all these players. What can we do apart from pay them to bring us more punters?"

♠ The captain asks - "Why would anyone trust a gambling site that cheats in any aspect of its business? If they're scummy bastards in cheating website owners like myself out of advertising revenue, why would anyone expect them to be honest with payouts for winnings?"

Gamblog Comment - When it comes to annoying potential future customers, the online gambling firms who carry the attitude of "we just want the players, bollocks to the general public", take the prize. I mean, let's have it right, online gambling firms are a disgrace in general. It's not just gambler folk like me who know. It's concrete, it's proven, it's not a myth borne out of the old days of Vegas.

All things being equal, the Americans should go ahead and ban online gambling. The likes of blogger captain Ed and his readers would not shed a tear, and who can blame them?

Will there be more goals or fewer goals than the Goal Line?

♠ Goal Line Betting
If the total number of goals is identical to the Goal Line then bet stakes are refunded. (e.g. If the Goal Line is 2.0 and the game finishes 1-1 all stakes are refunded.)

Should there be a split Goal Line (e.g. 2.0/2.5 or 2.5/3.0) then your bet is split between the two Lines.
(e.g. If the Goal Line is 2.5/3.0 then half your bet is on a Goal Line of 2.5 and the other half is on a Goal Line of 3.0. In this example, if you bet 'over' and the game finished 2-1 half of your bet would win and half of your bet would be refunded.)

Ripon, 22 July 2006

2:20 E.b.f. Dobsons Gaskets Maiden Fillies'
Abbey Road has been found a good opportunity to open her account. Durova and Sister Etienne are forwarded as the main dangers from the rest. Sister Etienne improved from her debut to finish a good third here earlier in the month. This daughter of Lend A Hand can make the rest aware of her presence. Durova missed that race to take her chance in a better race at Chester last week. She was far from disgraced in defeat and looks capable of exploiting any holes in the selection's game plan. However, Abbey Road edges preference on this occasion. Her debut run was given a solid boost at Lingfield on Thursday and, as she holds an entry in an Irish Group 1, she may well prove to be a step ahead of this lot; even though the daughter of Danehill does need to find more improvement though and needs to go a long way to start justifying her $210,000 purchase price.


2:50 Mary Kay Shaw Birthday Celebration Selling Stakes
Dotty's Daughter is selected ahead of Loch Clutha and Poinaird. The last named can be forgiven his latest effort as he lost his action after meeting trouble in running on a couple of occasions. David Barker's charge may prove to be a lot better than his finishing position would have you believe and any market confidence will be dangerous to ignore. Loch Clutha created the impression that she is ready for a step up in trip during her last start and she may well improve for this first try over six furlongs. Her yard does well in races of this nature and it would not be surprising to see her make the frame. However, Dotty's Daughter sets the standard from what they have shown so far and, as this lacks strength in depth, Anne Duffield's filly is fancied to be hard to beat here.


3:20 Bishopton Handicap
No comment available.


3:55 Ripon Bell-ringer Handicap
Nero's Return is better than recent form figures would have us believe and he is selected ahead of the revitalised Our Teddy and Top Seed, while Lucayan Dancer has a habit of popping up in races like this and is worth considering for each-way punters. The last named does have to register a career best performance and needs everything to fall into place for him. Top Seed, like many of his stablemates, has been kept on the go lately and has paid his way in win and place money. However, he also gets little respite from the handicapper and has it to prove off top weight. In handicapping terms, not many horses have plummeted as far in the rating as Our Teddy, who was running off a mark of 104 three years ago. Now on a rating of 80, the Paul Blockley-trained gelding has been in solid form of late and has to be respected in his current frame of mind. However, Nero's Return has also been given a chance by the assessor and, as he tales a drop in grade today, Mark Johnstone's charge looks to represent the best value in Ripon's feature race of the day.


4:30 Kevin Kai Lowery Memorial Maiden Handicap
A nightmare of a race and only a tentative vote of confidence is put behind Ekhorn, while Josarty and Mostanad are respected with their claims. And it would come as no surprise to also see Best Double make a bold bid to overcome the burden of top weight. The last named does look a touch high in the ratings for what he has actually achieved and, as a long standing maiden, there have to be reservations voiced about his resolution in a finish. Similar comments apply to Mostanad and he needs everything to fall into place for him. Josarty has fared better since he stepped into handicap company and may have more improvement to come. The undulations of this course should not be a problem for John Quinn's charge and he rates as fair value for at least a place. However, the finger has to pinpoint something more solid and Ekhorn, who has solid claims in the context of this race. Ekhorn has shown much improved form since being dropped back to sprinting and, having gone close in a better race than this at Hamilton last time; this could finally be the day for Julie Camacho's charge to deliver the goods.


5:05 Birchall Catering Supplies Median Auction Maiden Stakes
Giverny Spring is the leading player in a weak finale, with the lightly raced pair Chrisjen and Lady's Law others that are respected as likely improvers. Lady's Law made some late headway on her debut and ran encouragingly enough to suggest that a mile will not be a problem for her. She does need to post a better effort though and may be best watched for win only purposes in a field of this size. Chrisjen was another that took her time to get going on her introduction and will have benefited from the experience. This does look slightly tougher though and she needs to step things up a gear to get off the mark. Therefore, it may best to stick with experience on this occasion and give Giverny Spring another throw of the dice. Especially as her yard have been in much better form of late.

Newmarket, 22 July 2006

2:10 Lettergold Plastics Maiden Stakes
An interesting curtain raiser at racing headquarters, with Lawyer To The World forwarded as a sporting option to make a winning debut. Gentleman Pirate and College Scholar are also fancied to be on the premises, while any support for the Henry Cecil-trained Cavalry Guard would be noteworthy. The last named was an expensive purchase and, like many of the field, holds an entry in the Gimcrack at York next month. Cecil has been struggling for winners this term, though, and there is the suspicion this son of Officer will be all the better for a run. College Scholar is from a yard that has enjoyed a steady stream of winners and it will be interesting to see how the market speaks about him today. His breeding leans towards a slightly longer trip and again he may be one to take notes on this time around. Gentleman Pirate, having caught the eye on debut at Sandown, sets the standard in terms of experience. He was given a satisfactory introduction and looks capable of paying his way before too long. However, the strength of the Sandown form remains to be seen and he is not one to take too short a price about in a wide open contest like this. Therefore, it may be worth taking a chance with Lawyer To The World, who is a half-brother to smart sprinter Stormont. Along with a Gimcrack entry, this fellow is also a possible for the Phoenix Stakes at The Curragh; so has obviously been showing plenty at home. Steve Drowne has a 40% strike-rate with Neville Callaghan's juveniles and it will come as no surprise to see the statistics given another boost after this.


2:40 Vc Bet Aphrodite Stakes (fillies' Listed)
A solid looking renewal of this Listed contest can go to the unexposed Quenched, who is the preferred betting proposition over Pictava and Sindiranna, while Gower Song is another tough individual that appears to be going from the strength to strength. The last named does need to keep improving and David Elsworth's charge, who take a big step up in grade, faces her stiffest test to date. Sindiranna is open to improvement and is probably better than she consented to show in the Ribblesdale last time. However, she has a bit to find with the selection on the Ascot form and now has something to prove. Pictava had some useful form in Ireland before making a successful debut for Godolphin at Newcastle last month. The daughter of Sinndar comfortably accounted for Reem Two on that occasion and should make a bold bid to uphold the form. However, like Power Girl (also carries a Listed race penalty) she faces a stiff test on these terms and needs to be at the very top of her game. Especially if Quenched, whose yard have won this three times in the last ten years, has thrived since she was last seen out. John Gosden's filly was worried out of things at Royal Ascot and could only keep on at the one pace near the finish. However, this may be more her grade and Quenched, who was most impressive when she won at Lingfield, will be hard to peg back if she is allowed an easy lead today.


3:15 Chris Blackwell Memorial Handicap
Multidimensional has bags of scope for improvement and is selected ahead of Paraguay and Orpsie Boy, who make the most appeal out of the rest of the field. Orpsie Boy is unexposed at the trip and comes here on the back of a solid effort in a valuable handicap here earlier in the month. He should stay on breeding and a market move will be dangerous to ignore. Paraguay has done his connections proud lately and another bold attempt looks assured while the ground remains on the fast side. He is on a 6lb higher mark than for his course and distance win last month and now has to take on stiffer company. Watch the market carefully where he is concerned. Multidimensional holds the edge in terms of anticipated improvement though and this son of Danehill is very much one to keep on the right side as he continues to learn his trade.


3:50 Invesco Perpetual E.b.f. Fillies' Handicap
A chance is taken with Lipizza, who edges a narrow verdict over Folga, while Daniella is also worth monitoring in the betting market. Daniella won well at Goodwood last time and comes here on an upwards curve. The drop back in trip is not expected to be a problem and Rae Guest's charge has a reasonable each-way chance on these terms. Folga is a tough individual and stands her racing well. However, top weight does the mount of Frankie Dettori very few favours and she needs to be at the top of her game. Secret Night is also worth a mention, as this Dansili filly is a model of consistency. She has been found a little short in a finish on occasions though and has become something of a bookies darling during her rise up the ratings. Her supporters need to hope the drop to six furlongs helps her get home today. However, there may also be a bit more to come from Lipizza, who has dropped a couple of significant hints that her turn is not too far away recently. Neville Callaghan is obviously keen to keep the daughter of Spinning World on the boil and it will come as no surprise to see her visit Windsor on Monday evening if all goes to plan this afternoon.


4:25 Dodson And Horrell Maiden Stakes
The booking of Frankie Dettori virtually assures support for Grand Entrance but he ran encouragingly enough at Warwick on his reappearance to suggest he can play the leading role here. Mambonow and Pertemps Green are others to bear in mind, while Another Gladiator is also worth taking note on for future reference and is an interesting debutante for Kevin Ryan to be going to war with. The last named is a half-brother to El Rey Del Mambo and, having offered at fancy prices at the sales, he has obviously taken the eye on a number of occasions already. The betting market will tell us how well he is respected today. Pertemps Green was also an above average price when first purchased at the Tattersals Sales in October 2005. But the fact that he was resold at a �92,000 loss a year later underlines the precarious nature of racing. He showed inexperience on his debut and now has something to prove. Mambonow is a taking individual that has a race within him at some juncture. He will be very interesting in handicap company in due course. However, Grand Entrance gets the nod after showing he retains enthusiasm at Warwick a fortnight ago and is expected to be hard to beat if he posts a similar display here.


4:55 Join Racing Uk Club Handicap
Taxman gets the nod, while Mersey Sound and Maystock are fancied to provide stern challenges. Maystock is consistent and, having won off higher marks on the All Weather, has to be respected. He stays well and can do his bit to make sure there is no let up in the tempo near the finish. Mersey Sound has been a good servant to his yard and can be relied upon to pick up at least one race a season. However, he has already had his quota for the campaign and now he needs to have everything unfold to suit him. Therefore, we take our chances with Taxman, who is a good battler and, as he is holding his form really well at present, he is fancied to be hard to beat now that he has proved himself as a capable stayer.


5:30 Plantation Stud Handicap
A nightmare of a race to round off the card and Tony The Tap, who goes well here, is tentatively preferred to High Reach and Pic Up Sticks. It will also be noteworthy to see if any money arrives to support the three-year-old Woodnook, as he has an each-way chance on these terms and is no back number in the finale. Pic Up Sticks came good at Sandown earlier in the month and should be capable of going close this company. He races off just a 4lb higher mark this afternoon and a bold bid is expected. High Reach has not really shone this season and is better than he showed in the Wokingham at Ascot. Willie Muir's charge ran a more respectable race at York last time and, with the ground in his favour, he may be on the way back. High Reach holds an entry in the Stewards Cup and a penalty would do his chances of a run no harm. However, Tony The Tap has also dropped a few hints that his turn is not too far away and , with Tolley Dean easing his burden with his 7lb claim, this looks a fair opportunity for Bryn Palling's charge to gain an elusive first Newmarket success after a series of near misses here over the years.

Newbury, 22 July 2006

2:25 Stan James Hackwood Stakes (group 3)
The short list for this Group 3 sprint consists of Ashdown Express, Baltic King and Tawaassol, with our vote going to Baltic King. This is a cracking good opener and the case for Baltic King rests on him having conditions to suit today and that he comes here in great heart having won the Wokingham Stakes after finishing a very good fifth in the King's Stand at Royal Ascot. Ashdown Express, who won this race in 2002 and ran well in it in 2003 and 2005, comes right into things based on his July Cup second last time, but he rarely gets his head in front these days. Tawwaasol also gets good mention based on his fine run in a Sandown Group 3 race last time, looking for all the world as though six furlongs is his trip. These look to be the major players - in our view, anyway - but that is not to dismiss by any means the profiles of some classy opponents. That said, our selection, once again, is Baltic King.


3:00 Ladbrokes.com Heritage Handicap (straight)
Our shortlist for his good prize consists of Ace Of Hearts, Capable Guest and Seulement, with the vote going to Ace Of Hearts. A valuable Sandown mile handicap looks possibly to hold the key to this race. In it, Ace Of Hearts finished second to the progressive Hinterland, with the unlucky-in-running Capable Guest in fourth and Luca Cumani's Seulement tenth. Firstly, let us say that we feel that Seulement, who travelled well for a long way on that occasion, will be more at home on this flatter track. On top of that, Capable Guest only saw daylight late on and left the impression that he would have at least finished second with a clear passage. The fact remains, though, that Ace Of Hearts did beat the pair of them and he remains on a competitive mark. Of the others, Kelucia comes here on the back of a good Newmarket win and is respected, Calcutta is capable of running well from his current rating and might sneak a place, Audience is now five pounds below a winning rating from last August, but Namroud has more to do than when scoring at Ayr last time. All of which returns us to the selection, which is Ace Of Hearts.


3:30 Weatherbys Super Sprint
Our short list for this valuable sales race consists of Gilded, Elhamri, Nina Blini and Satulagi, with the vote going to Gilded. Richard Hannon has won this race six times, and three times in the last four years. He has a strong hand again and we particularly like the look of Gilded, the Queen Mary Stakes winner and Cherry Hinton third that has proven herself tough and reliable - and classy - this season. Lyric Fantasy and Risky also took the Queen Mary Stakes for Hannon before landing this contest. With the Windsor Castle winner and sixth, Elhamri and We'll Confer, the Norfolk Stakes third, Cav Okay (who finished lame when beaten last time), the Albany Stakes seventh, Riverside Dancer, the Queen Mary Stakes third, Nina Blini (who is five pounds better off for a length and a half with Gilded based on that form) the Albany Stakes third and Listed Newmarket third, Satulagi, who gets in here off a light weight, all in opposition, then it rates as a very good renewal of the race. Of the others Gold Spirit put in an improved effort to score at Chester last time, as did Ice Mountain when scoring at Beverley, and Resignation is a horse that we have a lot of time for, but, for today, we will stick with Richard Hannon and Gilded.


4:00 Trailfinders Conditions Stakes (straight)
Thousand Words gets the nomination in this interesting juvenile event, with his biggest danger reckoned to be Drumfire. Thousand Words created a very favourable impression when scoring on his debut here 37 days ago and, with the race having worked out, he can build on his reputation today. Having slaughtered the subsequent July Stakes second Armigerent on his Beverley debut, Drumfire is very much respected, while Monachello also looked promising when scoring on his debut. As One Does and Princeton have also displayed ability in winning races, while Peter Chapple Hyam's 50,000 guineas purchase, Striving Storm rates as an interesting newcomer. The vote, though, stays with Thousand Words.


4:35 David Wilson Homes Steventon Stakes (listed)
Kandidate gets our vote here ahead of Windsor Knot and Tam Lin. Kandidate looked to be at the height of his powers when winning at Sandown last time and he can make a bold bid to score today. Windsor Knot, who should come on for that run, has two-and-a-half lengths to find based on that form, and Mulaqat has even more to find. Khyber Kim looked good when beating a Listed winner on hs final start last season but, on bare ratings he needs another improved effort and that win came on easier going. Finally, Tam Lin followed up two wins with a good King Edward VII Stakes fifth behind Papal Bull and he rates as interesting. Overall, though, Kandidate looks the one to beat.


5:10 Sporting Index Handicap
Silver Blue might provide the answer here, with Blue Bajan and Coup d'Etat rated the main dangers. Much as previous efforts at 10 furlongs have not yielded much in the way of success, the selection is bred to be suited by it and, racing from a three-pounds lower mark than when last winning, he could go well today. Blue Bajan holds Humble Opinion on Windsor form and, based on that unlucky-in-running effort, can go well again today, as can Coup d'Etat, who was also unlucky in running last time and could even be rated as a winner without a penalty, so has ton be seriously considered. Of the others, She's My Outsider put in an improved effort when second at Windsor last time and, only lightly raced, is another to be granted plenty of respect. All in all, though, we will stick with Silver Blue.

Market Rasen, 22 July 2006

2:05 Totescoop6 Summer Handicap Hurdle
East Tycoon is taken to continue Tony McCoy�s winning run and get the better of Crathorne and Ela Re and collect this lucrative prize. Sue Smith�s Ela Re landed a bit of a touch when scoring at Hexham last time and although raised twelve pounds for that facile success, he can play a leading role here in pursuit of this big purse. He may turn out to be well handicapped and could well have improved from last season. Crathorne is a versatile performer, scoring on the Flat at Musselburgh in May, and winning over hurdles at Southwell last month. He too may have a little in hand of the handicapper, held up at Southwell, he won nicely. After a winless run over fences, East Tycoon appreciated a return to the smaller obstacles when scoring at Stratford this week, and with the assistance of the champion jockey, who is in terrific form just now, East Tycoon can prove too strong for his rivals under a five pound penalty.


2:35 Cobelfret Juvenile Novices' Hurdle
Prince Bere, Ever Special and Carr Hall are the three for the shortlist here and Prince Bere is taken to come out on top and continue McCoy�s winning run. Ever Special has some respectable runs on the Flat to his credit although he is still a maiden, and ran well on his hurdling bow over the course and distance last time to be third without ever looking like winning. He will come on for the run though and looks an able recruit to the hurdling sphere. Carr Hall is making his debut here for Tim Easterby over hurdles but is another who has shown ability on the Flat, finishing a close up fourth behind Jellytot at Carlisle in a seven furlong handicap. He is sure to know his job and can run well at a nice price. Prince Bere is yet to win a race but has hurdling experience in France and can make it count. He comes from the David Pipe yard and the stable has had great success with French recruits over the years. Prince Bere can make a winning debut in this country.


3:10 Dfds Lys-line Handicap Hurdle
The Name�s Bond, Ostfanni and Treaty Flyer are the ones to consider here and The Name�s Bond can score. Having scored twice on the Flat at Musselburgh recently, Ostfanni comes here in good heart, and also has a recent Kelso success over hurdles to his credit. He weakened into fourth on his latest start though and may be a little high in the handicap. After Stratford and Aintree runs where he finished second on each occasion, Treaty Flyer made no mistake here last time but now faces a step up in trip and a ten pound rise in the ratings which could be prohibitive. After wins at Hexham and Newcastle during the winter, The Name�s Bond returned to winning ways at Worcester last time. Only five pounds higher here, The Name�s Bond can shoot down his opponents here.


3:45 Totesport.com Summer Plate Handicap Chase
Yes Sir, Tevere and Inch Pride are the three to look at most closely in this feature contest, and Yes Sir is taken to continue his winning run with Tony McCoy on board. Tevere scored impressively on his British bow at Southwell, and this French recruit has only been raised nine pounds for that comfortable win. He can go well here. Stable companion Inch Pride made no mistake at Stratford last time having disappointed at Hereford the time before. This is a step up from novice company however, and his overall form does not look strong enough. Yes Sir has rattled up a five timer and will be a popular choice with McCoy riding. He was not at all fluent when registering his most recent win, but his record is impressive, and he can continue his winning run in this highly competitive affair. Yes Sir gets the nod.


4:15 Jewson Novices' Hurdle (qualifier)
Ken�s Dream is taken to get the better of Wiggy Smith and Orpen Wide in a classy novice contest. A winner on the Flat at Epsom twonyears ago, Wiggy Smith has taken his last two hurdling contests in his stride and looks progressive. He has the assistance of Tony McCoy and is highly respected. A scorer on the Flat at Beverley last month, Orpen Wide�s hat-trick attempt over hurdles came unstuck over the course and distance last time. Although that was a handicap, he may still struggle to resume winning ways in this company. One time useful Flat handicapper Ken�s Dream scored well at Uttoxeter on his latest start, supplementing an earlier Plumpton cakewalk. Although the form of his latest win has been let down by the runner up, Ken�s Dream may have too much Flat speed for his rivals and can score again.


4:45 Mortons Print Novices' Handicap Chase
Cross The Highman is taken to get the better of Silver Dagger and Rich Song in this small field. Rich Song lost his maiden tag here last time but it may not have been much of a contest and he can be taken on after a long winless run. Silver Dagger has completed a hat-trick of chasing successes recently but went up the handicap as a result and was guilty of mistakes when pulled up last time. He may be a little high in the weights and he is overlooked. Dual hurdling winner Cross The Highman has been knocking on the door in his latest starts and this looks a good opportunity to put the record straight. He has lacked a turn of fot in the closing stages but this may be easier and Tony McCoy can prove an able persuader. Cross The Highman can score here.


5:20 Gilbert And Molly King Memorial Handicap Chase
Green Finger is taken to get the better of Gone Too Far and Tacolino in an intriguing finale. Gone Too Far has been on the go for some time and had a break of sorts before coming back from a two month rest to run a blinder at Perth this month, touched off on the line in a handicap hurdle. It is ten months since his latest chasing win and he may be in the handicapper�s grip. John Quinn has his string going well under both codes and his Green Finger has been running well of late, slamming his field in a handicap chase at hexham, before finishing a good second in a hurdle contest last time on a return visit to the track. He has only been raised seven pounds for that win and with McCoy on board can resume winning ways. Green Finger is the one to point out here.

Lingfield ,22 July 2006

6:20 John Godfrey Associates E.b.f. Maiden Stakes
Priory Bay can get the better of Extractor and Serene Highness in a tricky opener. Extractor is a son of Siphon out of a Fairy King mare so has plenty of speed in the pedigree and hailing from the powerful John Dunlop yard commands respect. Any market move for the debutant should be heeded. Stable companion Serene Highness is another to consider, although being by an Alydar mare a longer trip would suit. Once again the market should be watched closely and the stable�s second runner in the race can go well at a nice price. Ed Dunlop�s yard is going well-he had a winner on Thursday, and Priory bay can step up on a promising debut. He was doing all his best work in the closing stages and this looks an ideal winning opportunity. Priory bay can take this.


6:50 Wypall Wipers Challenge Nursery Handicap
King�s Bastion can get the better of Stir Crazy and Hucking Hill in this tricky nursery. A scorer at Kempton over the minimum trip in April, Hucking Hill has failed to win since but has ability. He may have to settle for a place here. A winner here in April, Stir Crazy ran well to be a close third to Lipocco on Thursday at Leicester. That was a good effort and he is respected here. A Lingfield winner in May, Kings Bastion has been running in better company since and was not disgraced when finishing a decent third at Bath last time. This looks an easier task and King�s Bastion can make his class tell.


7:20 Ladbrokes.com Supporting Spinal Injuries Assoc Handicap
Ruby�s Dream can get the better of Hammer Of The Gods and Diamond Josh in a big field. Diamond Josh has been in good form recently, with wins at Bath and Ripon to his credit. Although well beaten behind Further Outlook last time he still looks well treated and can go close in this wide open affair. A winner over the course and distance two outings ago, Hammer Of The Gods ran really well to be a close third at Windsor last time and despite top weight he can give a good account here. A winner at Leicester two outings ago, Ruby�s Dream was just touched off by Safranine last time, and that one ran well in defeat at Leicester on Thursday. Ruby�s Dream can score here.


7:50 Kimberley-clark Professional Claiming Stakes (aw)
Opera Writer can take this from Writ and Musiotal in a tight affair. Musiotal has a long winless run behind him but shaped much better on three recent runs at Wolverhampton before disappointing on Turf at Hamilton last time. Back on an all-weather surface here he can go well. Writ was beaten in a seller two outings ago but bounced back to form over the course and distance last time, scoring in game fashion. That was a decent effort and Writ can go well. After promising efforts at Thirsk and Wolverhampton, Opera Writer lost his maiden tag in style at Southwell last time. He has been put in here with a likely weight and can follow up. Opera Writer can be music to the punters� cheers.


8:20 Ron Huggins Selling Stakes (aw)
Bishops Finger is taken to get the better of Good Article and Milk and Sultana in a trappy affair. A scorer at Lingfield in February, Milk and Sultanas is consistent and rarely runs a bad race. A case in point was his last race at the track where he finished a sound second. He can go close again. Third in a seller two outings ago, he scored comfortably in that grade last time. Although this is a slight rise in grade his confidence will have been restored by that win and he can run well. Bishops Finger is a course and distance specialist, having scored in a claimer here in January, he returned to the course and distance to collect a seller here last time. He is in good heart and Bishops Finger is the one to point out.


8:50 9th Year Of David Woodhouse Birthday Fillies' Handicap (aw)
Let Slip, Shamila and Silken Act are the three to look at here and Let Slip is the one to take this finale. Shamila made late headway over this trip at Kempton last time to be second, but that was the fifth occasion she has finished runner up in seven starts and she can be taken on. Silken Act has been keeping better company than this in recent runs at Windsor and Salisbury and has been taking on some useful opponents. This looks easier and Silken Act can go well. Let Slip won at Kempton in April and has run well in handicaps since without winning, just touched off in a return to the track last time and placed in a Sandown handicap in between. Let Slip can make amends for that narrow defeat last time.

Haydock, 22 July 2006

6:40 Haydock Park Pony Club Nursery Handicap
Stolt gets a narrow vote over the likes of Baileys Hilight, My Valerina and Inflight. It often pays to follow the topweights in nurseries at this time of the year, as past results reveal, and with that in mind we fancy Stolt to get back to winning ways. The Noel Wilson inmate made a winning debut at Musselburgh in April, and since then has taken on good company, including when a close ninth in the Windsor Castle stakes at Royal Ascot. Subsequently third when drawn five of five at Chester three weeks ago, he has the class to give weight away all round. Mark Johnston's juveniles are in terrific form at present, so Baileys Hilight has to be on the short-list as well, although the suspicion is that he will be better served by an extra furlong. My Valerina has been very consistent and indeed was third in a Hamilton nursery but is looking fairly exposed, while Inflight hails from a yard that had a nursery winner on Thursday. All in all it is likely to be a close contest, but Stolt gets our vote.


7:10 Racinguk.tv E.b.f. Maiden Stakes
Celtic Sultan can make experience count over some interesting newcomers such as Naughty Thoughts and Fishforcompliments. Celtic Sultan made a very promising debut here a fortnight ago when staying on from the rear to get within half-a-length of the winner El Bosque, and although in time another furlong would not come amiss, Tom Tate's youngster can put the experience to good use today. The market will reveal which of the debutantes is best fancied, but there have been encouraging reports concerning Naughty Thoughts, a half-sister to Blue Bajan and entered in a big sales race at Ascot this autumn. Luca Cumani's inmates normally need a run, but it would be no surprise if Sherjawy were to go close either. The son of Diktat will no doubt be stepped up in trip sooner rather than later and may be one to follow. However on this occasion, Tom Tate's trip across the Pennines should reap dividends with Celtic Sultan.


7:40 Browns Mitsubishi Handicap
Libor, Savernake Blue and Rochdale are the three to consider here and preference is for Libor. After a win at Newmarket in May Rochdale has been raised in class and although running another solid race at Newmarket has generally been found wanting. Savernake Blue also scored at Newmarket, a little more recently, but after rearing at the start at Windsor next time, struggled to make an impact. Given a better start here he can play a leading role. Libor has the profile of a typical Luca Cumani horse, showing gradual improvement with each run, culminating in a win at Bath on his handicap debut. He looks progressive and well treated, and should be followed until beaten. Libor gets the vote.


8:10 Security Guard Company Uk Ltd Handicap
Mandatum, Let It Be and Compton Eclaire are the three that catch the eye here and preference is for Mandatum, who is a proven performer and has a high level of form. Let It Be scored in game fashion at Redcar and was then fourth to the enigmatic but useful Whispering Death at Thirsk. The winner ran a solid race in defeat at Warwick next time and Let It Be cannot be discounted. Compton Eclaire was only a short head behind Let It Be at Redcar and has since run a decent race in defeat at Warwick, finishing fourth behind Raslan. He is a solid stayer, but may not be suited by this sharp track. After a promising re-appearance at Lingfield, Mandatum was disappointing next time, fading in the closing stages, although not beaten all that far in fifth on a return visit to the track. He is only five pounds higher though than when scoring at Salisbury last season and a chance is taken that Mandatum can put his Lingfield defeat behind him.


8:40 Abacus Securities Handicap
Silverhay is taken to follow up a solid Pontefract win last time at the main expense of Mr Aitch and Daring Affair. Karl Burke has his string in fine form and his mare Daring Affair was having only her second outing of the season when finishing fast to take second over this course and distance last time. She races here off a mark only two pounds higher than when scoring at Doncaster at the end of last season and has a leading chance with those two runs under her belt. Mr Aitch doubled his winning tally when scoring at Leicester recently but it didn�t look a great contest and the handicapper thought likewise, only raising him three pounds and he may have to settle for a place here. After solid placed efforts at Beverley and Leicester, Silverhay won in game fashion in a big field at Pontefract last time. That was a competitive affair, and although carrying top weight, Silverhay is taken to win again.


9:10 Bingley Handicap
Pitbull, Just Lille and Cape Of Storms are the thre that catch the eye in this interesting finale, and Pitbull can come out on top. Just Lille had shown little in three previous runs before scoring on her handicap debut at Ayr last time. That was not an unexpected success as she was supported, but may find she has too much weight here, carrying a six pound penalty. Cape Of Storms� form figures do not look too encouraging but his last two efforts have been encouraging, following a good third at Hamilton with a respectable effort in a Carlisle handicap which is working out. Pitbull finished just behind Cape Of Storms in that contest but left the form behind when just run out of it close home at Chester, behind the gambled on Glenmuir. Pitbull can prove too tenacious for his rivals here.

Good article about David Carruthers. I can't work out whether his name is Dave Carruthers or Curruthers. Anyway, he is the the UK born (scottish) ceo of Betonsports.com, who was recently arrested by the FBI, in America, for offering gaming opportunities to gamblers residing in America. Specifically sportsbook gaming apparently.

2:20 Wbx.com World Bet Exchange Handicap Chase
Moss Bawn stands out here and is selected, with the 'possibly best of the rest' tag going to Now Then Sid and Billie John. There are some out of form or fairly exposed types in this race, but not so with Moss Bawn, who exploited what looked like a lenient handicap mark based on his Irish form to win in first-time headgear last time. A seven-pound penalty does not disguise the fact that he remains well treated. There is no doubt that Billie John (who is 17 pounds better off for the nine lengths that Now Then Sid beat him back in September, although the latter comes here in better current form and is respected) is well handicapped in terms of running a good race if anywhere near his best of the last 12 months or so, and Just Reuben's recent run at this track certainly reflects him in a good light. Finally, given that the lightly-raced Firion King is due to go up by four pounds in the ratings following his fair Uttoxeter run, he is entitled to some thought. Overall, though, the selection has to be Moss Bawn.


2:55 Simon Cox Ltd Maiden Chase
The short list for this contains Le Bandido, Glacial Gillette, Tip Away and Fibre Optics, and the vote goes to La Bandido. In truth, the betting might provide some stronger clues for you but Fibre Optics, despite the fact that he hasn't built on early promise, has to be considered at this lowly level; Tip Away won a maiden point-top-point in April and has proven that he stays well; and Glacial Gillette holds claims based on an Irish mares-only maiden. All this said, La Bandido is the highest rated of these and her overall form, including when second to Cullian at Worcester two runs ago, makes her the form choice and, accordingly, she is the selection.


3:25 Cartwright King Handicap Chase
Barton Park stands out here and is selected ahead of Dalriath and Upswing. Barton Park looked pretty good when scoring at Uttoxeter last time in what was a better race than this. A seven-pounds penalty - he is due to go up by nine in future assessments - might not stop him from winning again. Dalriath is four pounds above a winning hurdling mark and has shown enough over fences to be fancied here, although he can make mistakes, while much as Upswing has been in-and-out since winning at Hexham in May 2005 from an eight-pounds lower mark than today, he is the type that could go well in this small field. Finally, Cool Chilli has become disappointing over the last 16 months and, despite being just four pounds above his Fakenham winning mark of May 2005, Gale Star's four runs since that victory have been modest. All of which returns us to the choice, which is Barton Park.


4:00 Southwell-racecourse.co.uk Novices' Selling Hurdle
Mungo Jerry gets the vote in the seller, with Templet and Rightontime the ones suggested as his biggest dangers. Dropped to this grade for the first time over jumps, Mungo Jerry holds a clear chance on official ratings and has also shown enough to suggest that he ought to be more than just at home at this level. Although not looking entirely straightforward, Templet won here at a similar level over a shorter trip last time and, with the runner-up Earl Of Spectrum having won at Worcester on Wednesday, his chance is there for all to see. Rightontime was sent off as favourite for his first run for Dai Wintle last time but he can be forgiven that as the run came on soft going at Towcester, which is a far cry from today's conditions. These look to be the major players, although John Storm, who is a point to point winner, has shown enough to be granted some thought dropped to this grade for the first time, and Le Griffe is another point to point winner dropping to this level for the first time. The vote, though, remains with Mungo Jerry.


4:35 Take Control With Wbx.com Handicap Hurdle
Cherished Number and Kanpai look the two key players here with the vote going to the latter. Kanpai comes into this, his handicap debut, on the back of two straight wins, his mark seems fair and he also has Tony McCoy on board. It all adds up to a very good chance. Cherished Number's hurdling record is two from three and, racing in blinkers for the first time over hurdles, this could help his cause after he made mistakes last time. His rating also seems fair enough and he can go well. Looks The Business and Nesnaas are both respected, and they are closely weighted on October Wincanton form but the others would be hard to fancy strongly for win purposes. Not so with Kanpai, who gets the vote.


5:10 Hospitality Packages Available Novices' Handicap Hurdle
Smilingvalentine might prove good enough in the finale; the others making it on to the short list being Waynesworld and Sundawn Lady. The selection had been running well in sellers before performing with credit outside of that sphere from today's mark last time. He has form enough to go well. Waynesworld would have to be considered on his best form of the last 15 months or so, and he looked as though he may have been finding his feet in this respect last time, while Sundawn Lady was running well at around this time last year from a slightly higher mark and can be considered on that basis. Of the others, Butler Services is interesting only because he now races in first-time blinkers and Tony McCoy is on board, while multiple points winner Tsar's Twist could go well. Overall, though, the selection remains as Smilingvalentine.

Pontefract, 21 July 2006

6:30 Coral - Bookmaker Of Year Maiden Auction Stakes
Cassie's Choice, My Secrets and Fadeyev are the three to look at here, and with little strong form to go on, the newcomer Fadeyev is taken to come out on top. Cassie's Choice has to be seriously considered here having shown promise first time out at Hamilton, she belied her 25-1 starting price at Ayr next time, doing all her best work in the closing stages. She must be thereabouts. Mark Johnston�s My Secrets should come on for his debut run at Haydock where he finished in mid-division. He hails from a classy family-his grand dam is the classy On The House, and he should be a lot sharper this time and this looks easier. Kevin Ryan is always to be respected in juvenile races with newcomers, and his Fadeyev hails from a winning family, with enough pace in the breeding to suggest he can play a part here. Any market move should be heeded. A chance is taken that Fadeyev can make a winning debut.


7:05 Totesport.com Fillies' Handicap
Spinning Coin won three on the bounce last year and after going up the handicap as a consequence has found it hard to win since. However, his losing run has seen him come down the ratings and there were strong signs of a return to form last time, with a good performance at Windsor, finishing a close third in a competitive handicap. Riodan hails from the in form John Quinn yard, and the winning bumper horse chased home Alfie Flitts on his Flat debut before winning nicely at Hamilton. He is up against more experienced individuals here and it will be interesting to see how he fares. Spring Dream scored at Warwick and Wolverhampton before finishing third in a decent Haydock handicap, pulling hard at one stage. If his energy can be better harnessed he can play a part. Spinning Coin has dropped to a winning mark and can take advantage.


7:35 Antonia Deuters Handicap
Wins at Beverley and Hamilton have confirmed the high opinion that trainer Richard Fahey has of King�s College Boy and he comes into the race in great heart. Conditions are in his favour, and even with a three pound penalty to carry he must go well. He is two pounds better off for a neck beating by Ryedane at Catterick and it should be close between them again. Ryedane has turned in a fine front running performance since to score at Newcastle, and he too carries a three pound penalty and must go well in his current form. Caribbean Coral is a hold up performer for whom everything has to fall right, but he is running well at present. He finished a close fourth, beaten only a length in a higher grade handicap at Chepstow last time, having scored from Bluebok, who has won in fine style since, at Warwick. He will be staying on at the finish and is a danger. King�s College Boy won with some authority at Hamilton and can go in again.


8:05 Danethorpe Racing Purple And Pink Handicap
Pianoforte, Chicken Soup and Splodger Mac are worthy of consideration. After pulling off a surprise win at Ripon, scoring after a winless run at 20-1, Pianoforte proved that was no fluke when just touched off in a Haydock handicap next time. He seems to have suddenly improved, and there may be more to come. Chicken Soup won twice at Southwell last winter but shrugged off a five month absence to run a blinder at Chester, just touched off close home. He runs off the same mark here, and with his seven pound claimer on board can go well again. Splodger Mac scored here two outings ago, and the runner up has scored since so the form looks solid. He disappointed in an amateur riders� race last time but the handicapper is waiting to raise him two pounds in future contests so his chance here is respected. Chicken Soup ran well on his re-appearance and can go one better.


8:35 Weatherbys Stallion Book Maiden Stakes
Dawera, Princess Toto and Arabian Tiger look the most interesting here and Dawera can come out on top. Dawera looks to have a solid claim here on the basis of a good debut run at Lingfield where she stayed on well to be a close third in a maiden over today�s trip. Breeding suggests this is the right distance for her, and she may prefer a longer trip in time. Peter Chapple-Hyam unveils an interesting newcomer in Arabian Tiger, a son of Singspiel out of a winning sister to dual Derby winner Shirley Heights. The market should be watched for support. Pat Haslam�s Princess Toto can run well judged by a promising debut at Ripon, staying on in the closing stages against more experienced rivals. The race was won by a stable companion of Dawera, who can confirm the promise of that debut effort and collect this prize.


9:05 Countrywide Freight Handicap
In a tricky affair, Blue Maeve, Electric Warrior and Kool Ovation are the three against the field, and Blue Maeve is taken to follow up a good win last time.A dual winner at Redcar last season, Electric Warrior showed signs of a return to form at Newcastle last time, finishing third. He is fairly treated and in an open contest can go well. Blue Maeve had been running respectably before scoring in decisive fashion at Hamilton, staying on well in the closing stages. That was his third career win and although he is six pounds higher here he can go play a part in the finish. A winner at Newcastle last year, Kool Ovation ran well to be beaten only a neck at Carlisle last time. He is another who looks well treated at the moment, and this lightly raced individual can figure prominently. Blue Maeve won with authority at Hamilton and can score again.

Newmarket, 21 July 2006

5:45 Home Of Horse Racing Handicap
Paradise Expected can beat her mainly older rivals including Celtique, Top Spec, Dinner Date and Glendale to name but a few. There are plenty in with chances in the first race on the evening card, but a chance is taken that Paradise Expected will be good enough to make a successful handicap bow. Peter Chapple-Hyam's filly has been off the track since coming good at just the second time of asking when scoring at odds of 14-1 on the Lingfield Polytrack in January. She gave the distinct impression then that there was plenty more to come, and so a mark of 70 does not look at all harsh as she steps up to a trip more in keeping with her breeding, the dam being related to the owner's former star User Friendly. Celtique appeared very unlucky when pipped over 12 furlongs at Windsor last time and should go close along with Top Spec, although he could do with slipping down the handicap. Dinner Date caught the eye again at Kempton and will be suited by the drop back in trip on his return to Turf, while Glendale, although slightly upped in grade, is a pretty consistent sort as well and could sneak into the frame. Paradise Expected has more in the locker though and can pay to follow.


6:15 See More On Racing Uk Maiden Fillies' Stakes
Light Shift can beat Cast In Gold, with On The Go, Nicomedia and Princess Taise all worth a mention at least. Henry Cecil won the corresponding event 12 months ago with Star Cluster, and on the strength of a promising debut here last month, Light Shift is taken to follow suit. The daughter of Kingmambo finished second in what was a decent event as it turned out, with the fourth going on to run well in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot, so her entry in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes could well be justified in time. Cast In Gold stayed on stoutly when second to Sudoor on her Newbury introduction last month and holds the same big-race entry as the selection. Related to St Leger winner Rule Of Law, she will be seen to best effect over further next year. She should hold Nicomedia on latest form though, while any support for On The Go, a half-sister to Qasirah, would be interesting. Mark Johnston is assembling a powerful team of juveniles, and so Princess Taise is also worth a mention. She too is well related and will thrive when upped in trip as a three-year-old. On this occasion though it is Light Shift that catches the eye.


6:45 Halverton Reim Handicap
Bustin Justin can quickly add to his haul, with Louie Louie and Lyrical Sound the ones to give him most to do. Jeremy Noseda has a knack of producing them fit and ready, and he did just that with Bustin Justin at Newbury last month. The son of Forestry, who fetched nearly half a million dollars as a two-year-old, went some way to justifying the faith held in him as he got the better of Disco Ball at the Berkshire track. By all accounts there was a big whisper for him then, and he was entered in the July Cup at one stage. He could turn out to be a lot better than a handicapper in time, and is taken to prove the point here. Louie Louie drops back to a more suitable trip after failing to last home up the hill when put over a mile at Sandown and is still on a fair mark, so warrants respect despite topweight. Lyrical Sound was a beaten favourite at Chester and it may well be that he has little improvement, while the rest have yet to show any worthwhile form this term. Bustin Justin has the most potential of them all and is the one to be on.


7:20 Davis Group Conditions Stakes
Donna Blini gets the call in a close looking event, with The Trader, Celtic Mill and Boogie Street all in with a shout. Donna Blini beat a useful field including Flashy Wings in last year's Cheveley Park, but it appeared as though she had failed to train on with sound defeats in both the 1,000 Guineas and Coronation Stakes. However, there were excuses both times, and the decision to return to sprinting saw a massive improvement at York last week when she made a bold bid to make all before being brushed aside by La Chunga. Hopes are high that she can make her mark over this sort of trip now, and although tackling speedy older opponents here, she is taken to crack out and lead from start to finish. The Trader won this three years ago and gained his last victory in a Group 2 sprint in France last year. He does tend to get a bit outpaced but will be suited by a strongly-run affair. Celtic Mill made a lot of the running in a decent event at Newcastle last week and is no slouch, having won the Temple Stakes last year. He too can make his presence felt along with Boogie Street who has been highly tried on all three outings this term. He should at least be fit and has less to do, so along with Majestic Missile who is a better horse than he has shown of late, is another that can provide a test for Donna Blini, who hopefully will prove up to the task.


7:50 Racing Uk On Sky 432 Handicap
Porters, High Command and Noble Gent form the short list for this 10-furlong event, with the vote going to Porters. If able to build on his excellent second to the progressive Formal Decree over course and distance last time, Porters, who was originally set to go straight to Goodwood, ought to go well here. Noble Gent also rates highly, being a lightly-raced performer that is sure to build on his good second to Road To Love at Sandown last time. We mention it in passing that the winner was unplaced behind Formal Decree in the Newmarket race just referred to, although a literal reading of that form would be misleading, we feel. Much as High Command remains seven pounds above a winning mark, he was not beaten far at Goodwood last time on going that was too soft for him and conditions should suit a lot better today. Finally, as a lightly-raced three year old who has not been disgraced in any of his starts, In Full Cry is another to consider, but the selection is Porters.


8:20 Ngk Spark Plugs Maiden Stakes
Making it onto our short list are Alhaitham, Star Crowned and Somersault, with the selection being Star Crowned. Alhaitham was disappointing at Goodwood last time, where he may not have stayed but, with his form rating in the 80s, he has to be given some thought today. However, Star Crowned's rating equates to about the same and, given that he might be a little more consistent than Alhaitham, we will side with him tonight. He deserves to win a race of this nature. Wince's brother, Border News, showed improvement last time, although that came in a modest Wolverhampton maiden, and Mocairde was very disappointing at Folkestone last time having shown some promise on his sole Irish run before that. Finally, Somersault showed some promise on his Salisbury debut and, with a more-experienced rider booked, cannot be ruled out; however, the vote stays with Star Crowned.


8:50 Newmarket Nights Handicap
The finale is quite competitive with the short list narrowed down to Missed A Beat, The Gaikwar and My Princess, with the vote going to The Gaikwar. The selection is a course and distance winner that bounced back to winning form at Chepstow last time. Even with a six-pounds penalty he looks competitive again. Missed A Beat also comes here on the back of a penalised win, and can also go well. However, My Princess now races from a mark that is seven pounds lower than her c/d success of last year and, having looked to be on the way back last time, is another that can go well. Of the others, Tiber Tiger threw away a winning chance over course and distance two runs ago and, from just a two-pounds higher mark and with the rider that night back on board, he could yet go well again, Bold Diktator disappointed last time but, having looked progressive in winning twice before that, he can't be ruled out, while Sonny Parkin's sole win came over course and distance from today's mark under today's rider last season, so can be given claims based on that information. Overall, though, we will stick with The Gaikwar.

Newbury, 21 July 2006

2:00 Hillwood Stud E.b.f. Maiden Fillies' Stakes
Queen's Fortune can make a winning debut at the expense of Party, Vital Statistics and Apache Dream to name but three. Mick Channon sent out Silca's Sister to land this race 12 months ago, and by all accounts Queen's Fortune has been working well enough to merit support. A daughter of Iron Mask, she was very cheaply bought and at present has no big-race entries, but in a race of this nature, she could very easily make her presence felt. Party is the preferred of Richard Hannon's trio after two fair runs, especially as she was hampered at Newmarket last time after setting out to try and make all. Vital Statistics finished just ahead of her at headquarters and had earlier finished behind that one's stablemate Gilded in the Queen Mary, so has to be considered, while Apache Dream, although clearly the second-string to Naayla on her debut here, is another with improvement to come. All in all, this is a very tricky start to proceedings, with Queen's Fortune getting just a tentative vote.


2:30 Highclere Thoroughbred Breeders Maiden Stakes (straight)
Folio looks the part and can beat a field mainly comprised of newcomers, with Regal Flush, Cry Presto and Moheebb just a few names to conjure with. Folio has finished runner-up on each of his two outings to date, at Leicester and York, and with the experience to call on, is taken to give Barry Hills another winner, as the stable collected 12 months ago with Red Ash. Obviously the market should be noted, with so much untapped talent on view, and it must be pointed out that Richard Hannon has won three of the last six runnings. He saddles three here, with Cry Presto partnered by Ryan Moore. He is well related to a smart miler and cost 43,000gns. The likes of Moheebb and Regal Flush look ones to follow next year on breeding, while Monzante has by all accounts been working well at home. This is just as hard, if not harder than the opener to predict, but we shall side with the one with proven form already, and that is Folio.


3:05 Lillian Summers Memorial Conditions Stakes (straight)
Caradak will be a short price to make a winning return, with Rosinka and Andronikos seen as the main dangers. Caradak's exploits for John Oxx last term have earned him a move to Godolphin, and on the strength of a hat-trick of successes followed by a narrow defeat in Group 1 company at Longchamp on his final start, a winning return is very much on the cards, with little in this line-up to match his form. The return to faster ground will be in his favour, and with the boys in blue finally starting to send out the winners, he is a confident choice. Rosinka absolutely bolted up in a Goodwood maiden on soft ground last year, but has been slow to come to hand and is best watched, although she is certain to make up for lost time. Andronikos had useful form a couple of years ago, but has failed to impress of late and will need more rain to fall to be in with a chance. However, they will all have to go to stop Caradak from obliging en-route to a possible crack at the Sussex Stakes.


3:35 Turfsurf Equine Surfacing Fillies' Handicap
Bracklinn gets the call ahead of Golden Applause, Generosia and Kinvara Lass. Bracklinn won two of her five outings last year, and with trip and ground to suit here, can be fancied to keep up the good work. James Fanshawe's filly will be all the better for her return from a nine-month break at Windsor recently in which she was a highly-creditable third to Della Salute, and with Jamie Spencer no doubt keen to rattle up a few more winners before his impending enforced break, she will lack for nothing in the saddle. Golden Applause defied topweight in fine style at Folkestone and moves up a grade, so will need to improve, while Generosia has a 5lb penalty for her gutsy effort over 12 furlongs at Haydock where she just managed to hang on. The drop back in trip will help her cause and she can go well off bottom weight. Kinvara Lass makes her handicap debut on the back of a couple of promising efforts and should be suited by the long finishing straight here, so is another to note, but for the winner we return to Bracklinn.


4:10 Sporting Index Handicap
Star Of Canterbury can complete the hat-trick at the expense of Rajaall, Lucky Leo and Darghan. Alan Jarvis appears to have found the key to Star Of Canterbury, the three-year-old having come good on each of his last two outings. The improvement gleaned can be attributed to a number of things, including a step up in trip, change of tactics, and at Southwell the time before last, a first-time visor. All those things combined have made a different animal out of this half-brother to Prince Of Denmark, and as he is still well handicapped, there is surely more success around the corner. Rajaall is still a maiden but shaped better for a drop back in trip last time and could make the frame, while Lucky Leo lost nothing in defeat to Gringo at Haydock. The latter has since been beaten at York but was given far too much to do, so the Haydock form is probably solid enough. Darghan is exposed and was a beaten favourite last time, and all in all it is Star Of Canterbury that makes most appeal.


4:45 Sporting Index Apprentice Handicap (str)
Young Bertie can stop Le Chiffre in his tracks, with Taranaki, Pure Imagination and Dr Synn likely to make their presence felt. Young Bertie has been knocking at the door this term, having run well on all three starts to date, including when third at Lingfield last time. Back on Turf and off a light weight, he should make a bold bid. Le Chiffre as been in good form of late, gaining back-to-back successes at Wolverhampton and Haydock, just doing enough on both occasions. a 6lb penalty may be enough to put the anchors on, but he will not go down without a fight. Taranaki keeps finding one too good but will go on the fast ground, while Pure Imagination has been on the upgrade but has it to do off topweight. Dr Synn has performed with credit despite the fast conditions, and will be suited by any easing of the ground. In a fairly competitive renewal, Young Bertie can gain due reward for some consistent efforts.

Carlisle, 21 July 2006

2:10 Architects Plus Maiden Auction Stakes
Princess Ileana holds all the aces here and can score from Startolini and Wanchai Night. The Karl Burke-trained selection has improved for three starts so far and looks to have been found a winning opportunity here. Her Windsor run behind Pelican Key last time reads very well in the context of this race, her yard is still in form and she can score. Startolini has also taken well to racing but has not achieved anything like as much as the selection in three starts to date and was thrashed when stepped up to 6f last time. In theory she should be better over further, but she has a bit more to prove before becoming the subject of our hard-earned. Wanchai Night has run green on a couple of starts so far but should be getting the hang of things by now and we'd expect her to be on the premises this time around, but Princess Ileana has her opportunity ehre and can get off the mark.


2:45 Donleys Claiming Stakes
A very ordinary claimer that should not take much winning and we will side with Sualda to do just that, with the other trio battling for runners-up money. Sualda has 7lb and more in hand of his opponents on official ratings and should confirm that. Virtually all of his eight wins have been at around this trip and on fast ground, and this looks to be his best opportunity for a year to pick up a win. Karl Burke tries Evolution Ex over this tyrip for the first time and it will be interesting to see how he goes, but he's not been in the best of form lately despite his trainer being so, and with little to suggest that 12f is his trip we oppose. Buddy Brown is another out of form individual but with Northern Dancer in his pedigree he is worth a try at this trip, while Regency Red has been running well in lesser company but may be able to claim second place if the other pair continue in ordinary vein. However, Sualda has the right credentials to take this.


3:15 Cubby Construction Handicap
This could be an interesting tussle between Prince Picasso and Farne Island, with Jill Dawson and Mambo Sun also worth consideration. We are going to side with Prince Picasso, who comes here shouldering a penalty for a comfortable success over 10f at Brighton on similarly fast ground last week. The step up beyond a mile produced a career best effort and there is every reason to suggest that, coming from the connections he does, there will be a fair bit more improvement in him. Farne Island had very little to beat at Beverley on Tuesday but he did the job very well. He runs from the same mark here and is due to go up by 4lb from tomorrow so he looks set to be closely involved. He beat Mambo Sun the other day and that rival is 5lb better off for a neck so has got a good chance of turning the tables if he is again able to dictate the pace. Jill Dawson steps up beyond a mile for the first time but is a half-sister to staying winner Jack Dawson and can she may be able to improve on previous efforts and take a hand here, but Prince Picasso looks well placed again and can score.


3:50 Weatherbys Insurance Burgh Barony Plate Handicap
Key Time is sent out quickly again by Sir Mark Prescott and looks booked for the hat-trick here, with Lodgician and Mister Arjay the likely main dangers. The selection has been placed to win twice over two miles just lately and attempts to defy a 6lb penalty for staying on strongly to score at Beverley on Tuesday. He is due to go up a conservative 2lb from tomorrow, but we think he is capable of shouldering the penalty and going in again here. Lodgician comes from another in form yard, that of John Quinn. There was nothing wrong with his c&d success last time out, but he faced nothing like the strength in opposition of Key Time and having to shoulder 7lb more against him will make this a stiffish test. Mister Arjay was well beaten by the selection at Beverely and despite better terms it would be a bit of a surprise if he were good enough to beat Key Time, who gets the nod.


4:25 Asd Metal Services Carlisle Handicap
Ron Barr has been getting a nice tune out of Pay Time just lately and the mare looks capable of another success here, with Carnivore and Attacca the main threats in opposition. The selection did us a good turn at Catterick last week when getting out from a plum draw to score over a similar trip. She loves fast ground and the manner of her success suggests that she is capable of repeating the dose here under a penalty. Carnivore has gone up 7lb for staying on strongly to win over this trip at Musselburgh last time and should not be too far away again, coming from a in form yard and with this 7f looking ideal. Attacca is 1lb below his last winning mark and also comes into calculations as one who loves this trip and lightning fast ground, so don't discount him, but preference is for the in-form Pay Time, so go and form a queue.


4:55 Baines Wilson Maiden Stakes
A poor maiden which rests between Grand Opera, Spinning and Naval Attache, and we will take a chance on Spinning. The selection hails from the in-form yard of David Barron and is worth a small punt here now that he is tried on fast ground for the first time, given that he is by fast ground lover Pivotal. The step up in trip is a bit of an unknown, but there are doubts about all the others and we will side with him. Grand Opera is the one to beat on official ratings but we should not get too carried away with that given this marked drop in trip. He has been ponderous at the start a couple of times and he won't be able to afford to do that here with less time to get into the race. Naval Attache is another dropping in trip and the way he has been failing to really get home over a mile suggests that this could be in his favour. Even so, he would have to improve a signifiacnt amount to beat the toher pair and we will chance Spinning to take the prize.


5:25 Ross Lloyd Ltd Handicap
The most competitive heat on the card to conclude matters with Aegean Dancer, Rudi's Pet, Parkside Pursuit and Tomthevic all holding claims and we will just side with Rudi's Pet to score. 'Dandy' Nicholls' gelding can string more than one win together and this looks to be his chance to do so. He kept on strongly to score at Musselburgh last time on good ground, but acts when it is very quick and despite a penalty he looks just about capable of landing this. Parkside Pursuit is the inmate of another 'sprint king' in Milton Bradley and won in his turn at Warwick last month. He got closest in three tries since at Folkestone last time but is probably just a bit too high in the weights for comfort at present. The same can be said of stablemate Tomthevic, who has not won since 2003 and despite a drop in the weights he looks a bit too slow to win, while Aegean Dancer should again go very well but is going up in the weights for good performances in defeat. But Rudi's Pet hit form last time and is taken to follow up.

Golden Palace Casino, never ones to miss a crass advertising opportunity, could give all us UK gamblers a laugh.

In light of the USA efforts to ban online gambling for the Americans, who purportedly make up the lion-share of online gamblers, I think Golden Palace are missing a trick by not streaking the Whitehouse lawn.

Oh boy would I like to see Golden Palace go down in flames with their pants down.

The Racing Post will not be shedding a tear. Charlie Methven wants to keep the Sportsman running. The plan is to concentrate more on horseracing, rather than betting in general apparently. I say it's more likely the paper is looking for a buyer or a sugar daddy.

Gamblog Comment :: So now you know.

Online gambling firms are not purturbed by the arrest of Betonsports ceo David Curruthers etc whatsoever. Righteo.

CNN.com - Casino Hackers - Jul 17, 2006 is an in depth report on the changes in Vegas slot jackpots and how internet-style technology, utilised onland, has effected offline gambling. Specifically via the statewide linked, progressive slot machine.

Additionally the report investigates the lengths US casinos go to, to thwart the casino cheaters and hackers, that plague casinos in Las Vegas and elsewhere in the US.

A fairly long read.

Internet gambling is a 24 hr, always on service. For problem gamblers the web can be a nightmare. With the advent of online gaming, along came the spectre of the addicted gambler sitting in the front-room in front of the PC, helpless against the grind of the house edge. Dazzled by the virtual spinning slot reels. Baffled by the endless bonus offerings, apparently for use in evaluating the casino games, as long as they are slots, not blackjack, craps, baccarat or other games with such arguably low house edges.

In a nanny state world, where England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales are banning smoking in public. Is it so far-fetched to imagine an American led all out ban on internet gambling, to protect the gambling problem inclined member of society?

# 2006 Mercury Prize UK Album Betting Odds Archive

The Nationwide Mercury Prize (Event Date - Aug, 27, 2006) pushes UK music to the forefront of the publics attention by pitting the 12 best albums of the year by Britsh or UK music artists against each other. Of course, the winner lifts the Mercury award.

We in the gambling community bet on the winner. If we can pick it.

Gamblog Comment :: I have a funny feeling Cynthia "cindy" Carley sold the GPWA for less than the Derosset's sold it to Michael Corfman of Casino City for. That's how it goes I suppose.

The only thing of interest to the players regarding the GPWA is the Players Complaints Corner. The players corner is where players with complaints against a casino, can ask for help to resolve the dispute, from the members of the GPWA who advertise for said casino, poker room or bingohall.

Let's hope Corfman does'nt decide to close the players help corner.

Leicester, 20 July 2006

2:10 Mountsorrel Median Auction Maiden Stakes
Shumookh can land the opener at the expense of Diamond Shower and Amazing Charlie. The selection is well related and is a half brother to the Oaks winner Eswarah and classy miler Umniyatee. The yard are having plenty of winners at present so this newcomer by Mujahid has to be given a live chance of winning on his racecourse debut. Diamond Shower has had two runs to date and was eye catching when showing marked improvement when finishing second to Majaales at Salisbury last time out. More improvement will be needed once more to win this though. Amazing Charlie is another who has not been disgraced on either start so far so any market support should be noted. But for the winner we return to Shumookh.


2:40 Raceday Hospitality Selling Stakes
Lord Blue Boy, Bowl Em Over and River Rosie are the three against the field with the vote going to the last named. River Rosie was in winning form last time out when scoring at Bath in similar company. The horse does have his limitations but if reproducing his form and with conditions to suit he will prove difficult to beat. Lord Blue Boy is trained by the king of the two year old sellers Bill Turner so has to be respected for that reason alone. His latest effort has close form with Bowl Em Over who bids to do battle once more. Lord Blue Boy was under two lenghths behind in third but this time is five pounds better off with Bowl Em Over so theoretically the placings should be reversed but for the winner we return to River Rosie.


3:10 Racecourse Video Services Nursery Handicap
Argentine to taken to land this at the expense of Lipocco and Party Palace. The selection was in winning action last time out when beating Ice Mountain by half a length at Carlisle. He is put into a handicap to run of a mark of eighty eighty which seems a fair mark so he is taken to follow up on his maiden win. Lipocco will prove as the biggest danger and has been in the frame on each of his three starts to date so far. He finished second to Southandwest at Bath on his latest outing and it wont be long before he is in the winners enclosure. Party Palace broke his duck in selling company at York last time out. He won comfortably enough that day but more is needed against this better opposition so for the winner we return to Argentine.


3:45 Free Tips At Gg.com Handicap
Certain Justice is taken to follow up on his recent Leicester win at the expense of Rezzago and Torquemada. The selection beat Imperial Gain that day by a short head and is only running of a mark of one pound higher so has not been battered by the handicapper. If repeating that run he has to go close. Rezzago has a chance on the back of his recent second behind Irony at Kempton. The form has since been franked with Irony winning again at Chepstow last week so the form has stood well. Torquemada won on the all weather at Lingfield before being out classed at Newmarket last time out. He is better judged on his previous outing so has to be short-listed. But for the winner we return to Certain Justice.


4:20 Gg.com Claiming Stakes
A three horse race in effect involving Tedstale, Khanjat and Oldenway with the vote going to the last named. The selection has been in winning form this season at Southwell, Catterick and at Yarmouth so the has climbed in the weights. As a result he has found things tough of late but as he is so consistent and has been well placed he is taken tom score once again here. Tedstale is still looking for success this season but has run well in defeat. He was thrown in at the deep end last time out and is better judged on his other runs so if bouncing back to his best is given a chance. But for the winner we return to Oldenway


4:50 Melton Mowbray Conditions Stakes
Ashaawes can land this at the expense of Imperial Star and Tell. The Godolphin horses have staerted to recapture some of their form with a few decent winners this week so Ashaawes can do themselves proud here on his seasonal reappearance. Last year he won at Newmarket in maiden company before not being disgraced at York thereafter. If fit he has the pick of the form and can win. Imperial Star has done nothing wrong this year and has done nothing but improve all year. He has won twice at Windsor this season and looks a horse on the upgrade but may find one too good here. Tell has the services of Jamie Spencer on board but his form figures need improvement so for the winner we return to Ashaawes.


5:25 Great Glen Handicap
Pachello, Danehill Stroller and Louphole look the main contenders with the nod going to the last named. The selection has been in unbelievably consistent form this season hardly finishing out of the frame. He won on his penultimate run at Bath when two lengths infront of Danehill Stroller who is noe one pond better off. He then finished an eye catching second to Caustic Wit at Epsom last time out. With conditions to suit here he is taken to land himself back in the winners enclosure once again. Pachello carries top weight but was behind the selection at Epsom last time and to reverse the form will prove to be a tough task so for the winner we return to Louphole.

Wolverhampton, 20 July 2006

6:35 Wolverhampton-racecourse.co.uk Apprentice Handicap
Millfields Dreams, Blakeshall Quest and Sir Loin are three against the field in this competitive opener and the vote is given to Millfields Dream. The selection was a fair third behind Witchry last time out, that form has since been franked and off what remains a fair mark and under conditions that suit he looks thew one to be on. Blakeshall Quest rates the main danger on his latest fifth behind Safarine but he looks weighted up to his best and is passed over for that reason. Sir Loin is another that could well on his latest run behind Out For A Stroll now that he returns to his favourite surface as that form has since been franked. Dellagio looks well weighted on his best form but he may just need the run after a 205 day absence. Of the remainder Percy Douglas has dropped to a handy mark but he is hard to win with and with this in mind for the winner we return to Millfields Dream to small stakes.


7:05 E.b.f. Novice Fillies' Stakes
Enticing, Christmas Tart and Sunken Rags are three against the field in a trappy affair and the vote is given to Enticing. The selection won well on her debut when beating Siren's Gift, is sure to have learnt from the experience and given nominal improvement from a good draw will be hard to beat. Christmas Tart rates the main danger on her best form but she appears to have regressed of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Sunken Rags is another that could go well on her latest third behind The Mighty Ogmore but the suspicion is she will be seen to better effect over a longer trip. Of the others Seaflower Reef is from a yard in form but her form leaves her with a little to find and with this in mind for the winner we return to Enticing.


7:35 Family Fun Days At Wolverhampton Racecourse Novice Stakes
Ponty Rossa, Rainbow Fox and Dowlleh look the three to concentrate on in this competitive affair and the narrow vote is given to Ponty Rossa. The selection won well last time when beating Rainbow Fox with a little in hand, he looks sure to improve and from a good draw he will be hard to beat. Rainbow Fox is sure to have his supporters but he will do well to give weight and a beating to the selection. Dowlleh is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he disappointed last time out so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Juan Bol is another with place claims but his best form is over a longer trip and with this in mind for the winner we return to the progressive Ponty Rossa.


8:05 Support Brooke Hospital For Animals Handicap
Warsaw Pact gets the confident vote here with Birthday Star and Heathyards Pride rating the main dangers. The selection is a typical Sir Mark Prescott improver and won with plenty in hand last time out when beating Rayhani, granted he has a penalty but he still looks ahead of the handicapper and he is taken to win again. Birthday Star rates the main danger on his latest second behind Wild Pitch but he is exposed compared to the selection and is passed over for that reason. Heathyards Pride is another that could go well on his latest fourth behind Establishment but the drop in trip has to be of concern. Of the remainder Secretary General is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks weighted up to his best and for the winner we return to Warsaw Pact who gets the confident vote.


8:35 Stay At Holiday Inn Wolverhampton Fillies' Handicap
Song of Passion, Bowness and Miss Meggy are three against the field in a tough race to call for punters and the vote is given to Song Of Passion. The selection was well beaten in a much better race behind Red Evie last time out, this represents a drop in class and despite top weight she will be hard to beat. Bowness rates the main danger on his latest third behind Free Roses she looks on a fair mark but has yet to win over this trip and is opposed on that basis. Miss Meggy is another that could go well if given an easy lead but as that does not look likely she looks worth taking on. Of the remainder Toffee Vodka is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but for thew winner we return to Song Of Passion.


9:05 Come To Family Fun Day On 28th July Handicap
Claret And Amber, Secret Liaison and Bijou Dan are three against the field in a competitive finale and a confident vote is given to Claret And Amber. The selection won in game fashion last time out, beating the in-form Riley Boys. Although having to carry a penalty for that win, he is expected to improve again for the step up in trip and, with his yard continuing in good form, he looks much the best. Secret Liaison rates as the main danger but he was slightly disappointing behind Keel last time out; however, the return to this shorter ttrip should suit and he can go well from the Sir Mark Prescott yard. Bijou Dan has won his last two tace in good style, most notably when beating Luck In Running last time; however, this is his toughest assignment to date and he needs to improve again to win off this high a mark. Samuel Charles is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he gave the impression that the handicapper had caught up with him when well beaten last time. Of the remainder, Kingsholm is from a shrewd, in-form yard and should be noted in the betting but he is becoming expensive to follow and, with this in mind, for the selection we return to Claret And Amber.

Hamilton , 20 July 2006

2:20 Weatherbys Bank Maiden Auction Stakes (qualifier)
In a tricky affair with little form to go on, Tobago Reef is taken to make it third time lucky.Brenin Gwalia is an interesting contender here, having started at 25-1 on his debut at Wolverhampton. He belied that starting price, running prominently and finishing second, having been outpaced in the closing stages. He should be sharper this time although the form is questionable. Ian Semple�s Stay Active hails from a yard in form and should improve for his debut at Ayr where he ran green. This is a weak contest and he must be considered. Lemon Silk has the benefit of two previous runs, the latest of which was when finishing fifth at Carlisle. The second won impressively at Beverley on Tuesday so the form looks solid. Tobago Reef ran well on his debut at Hamilton finishing a good third before finishing down the field at Carlisle on his second start. The form though has started to work out well and a chance is taken that Tobago Reef can lose his maiden tag.


2:50 Dorothy And Arthur Balding Handicap
Rancho Cucamonga, Viewforth and Chairman Bobby are the ones to look at here and Rancho Cucamonga can lead them home. Rancho Cucamonga looks to have a leading chance here on the basis of his Hamilton defeat of Paddywack, form which was boosted when the runner up scored at Beverley on Tuesday. He races off the same mark here and is due to go up three pounds in future handicaps. Viewforth is a consistent type and ran well behind the selection, beaten less than two lengths but has something to find, having had a long winless run. Chairman Bobby is another who has slipped down the handicap and his two most recent efforts suggest the eight year old is not without a chance although he has also found it difficult to win. Rancho Cucamonga can win again.


3:20 Weatherbys Bank Conditions Stakes
This is a race that could turn out to be a tactical affair but Metropolitan Man can take advantage of this opportunity.Desert Realm has been highly tried by Mark Johnston after winning a Carlisle maiden as a two year old and has consequently struggled to win. This represents a good opportunity however and with the yard going well he is given a leading chance. Metropolitan Man has a similar profile in that he has won once as a two year old and has not won since. However, he has been running at the highest level, and ran with great credit in the St James Palace Stakes. That followed two very good runs at Newmarket and he will be hard to beat. Metropolitan Man can prove too smart for his rivals. Onlybayinvillage is outclassed here on the basis of his debut run but can claim the third place prize money with Metropolitan Man having the class to take this.


3:55 Bill Mcharg Handicap
Noble Nova is taken to score in a competitive contest with Insubordinate his biggest danger. Insubordinate�s defeat of Cottingham here last time gives him a leading chance with the runner up scoring in fine style at Newcastle on Tuesday night. He is slightly inconsistent but had run a good race to be a close second three outings ago and is in good heart. He will be hard to beat. Noble Nova has been very busy, having won three races in nine days and is hard to oppose. He carries a six pound penalty but still runs off the same mark as his latest Ayr success. Anthemion is six pounds better off with Insubordinate for a two length beating here last time but hasn�t won for over a year and Insubordinate can uphold the form. This is a tricky contest, with some good form to ponder over but Insubordinate�s burden of top weight may allow Noble Nova to register a four timer.


4:30 Amanda Forsyth 'forty Fabulous Years' Claiming Stakes
Pomfret Lad, Howard�s Princess and Limonia are the three to consider here, and Pomfret Lad can take this contest.Pomfret Lad hails from the bang in form John Quinn yard, and with the stable�s sprinters in such good heart, he merits serious consideration. He scored at Ripon before running well for a long way at Haydock, only back pedaling in the closing stages. He has won twice this season and this could be his third success. Howard�s Princess last won over this course and distance in September and has run well here recently, finishing second on her last visit to the track two outings ago. She has run disappointingly since but is back at the track for which she reserves her best performances and can go well. Limonia won here earlier this month but is now four pounds worse off for a neck win over Howard�s Princess, and given her inconsistency, Limonia can be taken on. Pomfret Lad appears to hold the most solid claims and he can lead them home.


5:00 Daily Record Handicap
After scoring at Musselburgh, Folkestone and Yarmouth, Alambic can complete a four timer for Sir Mark Prescott, with recent winners, Bronze Dancer and Abstract Folly others to look at. It�s significant that Alambic is turned out quickly after his Yarmouth success of two days ago before the handicapper has a chance to re-assess him and he carries a six pound penalty here. He has appreciated being stepped up in trip this season and can be followed until beaten. Abstract Folly doubled his winning tally when scoring at Catterick last time, when waiting tactics worked the oracle. He is capable of running well here but is up against a well handicapped rival and given his wins to runs ratio he can be taken on. Bronze Dancer upset a short priced favourite over the course and distance last time and can go well, but a six pound penalty may be prohibitive and his wins to runs ratio does not bode well


5:35 Betfair Apprentice Series Handicap
This is a tricky handicap with some reasonable form to work on, with The Pen the suggestion to take it. Grand Roche has finished second on five occasions and has a form chance on the basis of his recent run over the course and distance when finishing second to Unique Moment. The winner has gone in since, but Grand Roche reverts to handicap company from claiming class here and faces tougher rivals. The Pen scored over hurdles this winter and has been in winning form on the level, scoring at Beverley before finding the opposition too hot in the competitive Ladies Derby at Ripon. Well handicapped despite top weight, The Pen can go well here. Kyle of Lochalsh won well at Musselburgh three outings ago and although running well next time, he was well beaten on his latest start and probably needs to drop back down the ratings. The Pen is racing off the same mark as when last successful and has a winning opportunity here.

Epsom, 20 July 2006

6:15 E.b.f. Median Auction Maiden Stakes
The short list contains Billy Dane, Dee Jay Wells and Five A Side, with the vote going to Dee Jay Wells. Billy Dane's form stacks up in the context of this race so expect a bold show. Ditto re Dee Jay Wells and, given that he has proven that he can act on this kind of track, he gets the vote. From the in-form Mark Johnston yard, the 28,000 guineas purchase, Five A Side, gets a good mention, but Our Herbie probably needs to improve on his all-weather improved effort last, and Pagan Rules needs to keep the improvement coming, although he has shown promise. Revisionist looks the Hannon second string, while Zelos improved on the all-weather last time and has to be given some thought, a similar comment applying to Sweet Lilly. Overall, though, Dee Jay Wells gets the vote.


6:45 Mall Ashley Claiming Stakes
Our short list for the claimer consists of Serieux, Mandarin Spirit, Underscore and Envision, and the vote goes to Serieux. There are only five that can be seriously considered here. These are Bessemer, although he looks a slightly reluctant hero these days; Serieux, who has been running consistently in handicaps and deserves a crack at a winning opportunity such as this claimer can provide; Mandarin Spirit, who has also been running well in handicaps and is a course and distance winner; the lightly-raced Underscore, who increases his winning prospects by dropping to claiming company for the first time; and Envision comes firmly into it following his course win in a similar event last time, although the drop in trip today is a little curious. For us, the one to beat, though, is Serieux.


7:15 Sportsman Newspaper Handicap
Always Baileys gets the vote here ahead of Pagan Crest, Nedd Ludd and Cantabilly. Fresh from his reappearance Thirsk run, Always Baileys looks set to go well here, particularly as he is stepping up in trip. Expect a good run. Ned Ludd has been contesting better races in general than this and could enter handicap life on a reasonable mark. Nefski Alexander was beaten on his handicap debut last time and I guess the jury is out on him at the moment. In any case, Pagan Crest, who has now won two of his last three races, holds him based on recent Leicester form and he looks a big danger to the selection. Interestingly, he is blinkered for the first time today. Finally, Cantabilly improved at Brighton last time but maybe needs to improve a little more in order to score. Overall, though, Always Baileys gets the vote.


7:50 Compton Hellyer 60th Birthday Handicap
Blackmail gets the vote here ahead of Madhavi and Croon. Croon looks to be on a pretty fair mark and, lightly raced, he is open to improvement and can play his part in this race today. Desert Island Disc has winning form from today's mark and cannot be dismissed from a ratings point of view. Madhavi has a five pounds rise to defy following his Windsor win, but it is not a forlorn possibility, while much as Spring Dream's winning run came to an end at Haydock last time, she was beaten by an improved performer there and can run a fair race today. Tavalu remains a maiden on Turf, but course and distance winner, Blackmail, is due to go up three pounds in future ratings following on from his recent 10 furlong win here. Overall, that type of form makes him the one to beat, in our view, and Blackmail gets the vote.


8:20 London Focus Handicap
Scrummage gets the call here ahead of Fangorn Forest and Miss McGuire. Scrummage looked an improved performer in a first-time visor last time, winning at Yarmouth, and he looks to have got in here on a favourable mark. Miss McGuire looked promising based on her Brighton maiden win and is worth a look in the betting, while Mister Benedictine is at last dropping in the weights but still has a little to prove. Fangorn Forest is back to the mark from which he won at Warwick in May, so gets respect, while Arzaag came good in first-time blinkers on the all-weather last time and has to be given some thought if the headgear can work again. Blue Manruna's best recent efforts entitle him to some thought but Bollywood has not built on his Lingfield claiming win. All of which returns us to the selection, which is Scrummage.


8:50 Pioneer Maiden Handicap
In the finale, the vote goes to Final Tune ahead of Khyber Night and Snow Symphony. Final Tune's Catterick second to Cindertrack last time stacks up as form here and he gets a good mention. Snow Symphony's latest improved could by now have been boosted by Miss McGuire earlier on the card (Shinko was further behind). Carloman improved in first-time blinkers last time and can go well if they work again. Royal Tavira Girl has been knocking at the door of late and could get placed again, while Lady Duxyana showed improved form last time and, finally, given that he is set to go up by 13 pounds in the ratings following her Chepstow second to Dancing Storm, Khyber Night has to be seriously considered. Captain Bolsh might prove best of the others. We, though, will just side with Final Tune.

Cartmel, 20 July 2006

2:30 Tetley's Bitter Novices' Handicap Hurdle
A wide open contest gets proceedings underway and there is very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Diktatit, Muaawesh and Southern Bazaar and the narrow vote is given to Diktatit. The selection was a fair fourth under a considerate ride behind Ballyhurry last time and with this slightly longer trip looking to be in his favour he looks the one to be on. Southern Bazaar rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Ethan Snowflake but that was in a seller and this looks more competitive and he is opposed for that reason. Muaawesh is another last time out winner that could go well as he defeated Bodfari Signet with a little in hand last time out, he again has conditions to suit and should be watched in the market. So Cloudy is another last time out winner that could go well but all his best form is on a softer surface, of the remainder Barney has the ability to go close but consistency is not his strong point and in a race where the market will be very informative for the winner we return to Diktatit who looks a value bet.


3:00 Nick Edge 50th Birthday Handicap Hurdle
Granite Man gets the vote here with Present Oriented and Leadaway rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Earnest and although he has a penalty for that win he looks a progressive type and under conditions that suit he is taken to defy the handicapper. Present Oriented rates the main danger he won well last time when beating Lunar Sovereign but this looks more competitive and his overall profile leaves him with a little to find. Leadaway is another that could go well on his latest second behind I'm Your Man but that form has since been let down and he is passed over for that reason. Court One goers well at the track and should be noted in the market but he looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder Heaversham is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with and with this in mind for the winner we return to Granite Man.


3:35 Weatherbys Bank Handicap Chase
Nocatee gets the vote here with Galtee View and Be The Tops rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair third behind Lazy But Lively last time out, that form looks rock solid, he goes well on the ground and looks the value bet in an open affair. Galtee View rates the main danger on his best form but he gave the impression the handicapper had caught with him and for that he is opposed. Be The Tops is another with place claims on his best form but he has failed to complete the course in two of his last three runs so can not be put forward with any confidence. Mocharamor is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with while Renvyle has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Nocatee.


4:10 E.b.f. Cartmel Priory School Leavers Beginners' Chase
Ton-Chee, Lord Jay Jay and Hugs Destiny look the three to concentrate on in the beginners chase and the vote is given to Ton-Chee. The selection was disappointing last time out but prior to that he was a fair second behind Return Home, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and he need only turn up to that mark to score. Lord Jay Jay rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind General Grey but all his best form is over a longer trip and for that reason he is opposed. Hugs Destiny was a fair third behind Lodgician last time and is another that could go well but this looks more competitive and his overall profile leaves him with a little to find. Of the remainder Amid The Chaos could improve for the fitting of first timer cheek pieces and a tongue tie but Ton-Chee sets a fair standard and he will be hard to beat.


4:40 Frank Whittle Partnership Maiden Hurdle
It's A Roofer, Taras Knight and King's Crest are three against the field in a trappy maiden hurdle and the vote is given to It's A Roofer. The selection was a fair second behind Ken's Dream last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and under conditions that suit he is taken to score. Taras Knight rates the main danger on his latest third behind Present Oriented but he looks a short runner and is opposed for that reason. King's Crest has been in fair form on the flat of late and should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Pearsons Glen looks on a handy mark and could go well at a price but ion a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to It's A Roofer.


5:15 John Treasure's 59th Racecourse Novices' Hurdle
Mt Desert gets the confident vote tom win the finale with Greenfort Brave and Red Scally and rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair third in a better race behind Brads House last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and with this sharper track also in his favour he is impossible to oppose. Greenfort Brave rates the main danger on his latest sixth behind Granite Man but he remains a maiden after 20 attempts so can not be put forward with any confidence. Red Scally is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Baton Belle in a bumper he is sure to have been well schooled for this his hurdling debut but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over longer trip. Of the remainder Oakendale is unexposed and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Mt Desert who will be hard to beat.

Gamblog Waffle :: The truth of the matter is, Bodog ceo Calvin Ayre is not bothered by David Curruthers arrest - yeah right. I wonder if Calvin Ayre will even turn up to the after-party, to the conference that never was.

I don't think the likes of Calvyn Ayre winding up the Americans help the industry much. Neither the likes of Golden Palace with their ridiculous advertising stunts and streakers at the Olympics. Sooner or later the Americans were going to get the hump. Online gambling in general has failed to police itself very well.

The interest of the likes of Ayre seem to be solely angled toward grabbing the headlines, rather than presenting a presentable front. Those that try to present a presentable front, only do so half way, to avoid missing easy short-term profit. That is to say the big online gaming guns like 888.com and Partypoker, behave abominably. Just try gently scratching the shiny bodywork 1 day, underneath you will quickly expose the rusty spyware and folk with the marketing ethics of the Trotters.

While I disagree with the Americans banning online gaming. It is amusing to see the arrogance of the likes of Ayre called by the American DOJ. Let's face it, when American system gets a bee in it's bonnet, the reaction is usually arrogance personified.

Ayre knows that, he is no fool. Witnessed here by the Calvin Ayre backstroke.

2010 World Cup Betting Odds (prices archive).

2010 SA World Cup Betting Starting Prices
The 2010 Fifa World Cup finals betting and odds have been up since before the 2006 World Cup Finals in Germany ended. South Africa are the official 2010 World Cup host nation.

The 2010 SA WC starting prices are as follows :: Cameroon are the lowest priced African football nation at 25/1, followed by Ghana and South African teams, both 33/1 chances. Brazil are currently 4/1 favourites, Argentina are 6/1 as are 2006 World Cup champions Italy. 3 European soccer nations, France, Germany and Spain, are 10/1 shots. England are 7th favourites at quite a generous 12/1 with Ladbrokes at the moment.

2010 World Cup Odds Archive
Those odds will change alot. Of course, this is a very long term soccer betting market. I will archive the Ladbrokes World Cup price changes over the next 4 years. Maybe I will get a life by the year 2010.

The Villans - Aston Villa FC - are looking for a new manager as of today, wed 19, 2006. Reports are coming in that the A.Villa manager David O'leary has left the football club.

The abrupt departure by O'leary from Villa Park comes hot on the heels of criticism posted in the local press of Villa chairman Doug Ellis. It looks like O'leary was pushed after 3 years at the midlands club, no surprises there. Officially the verdict is "left by mutual consent". IE no one crosses Deadly Doug Ellis - obe and gets away with it, even at the tender age of 81.

Either way, a new Aston Villa manager market will be formed and betting odds will be made available re the Villa Park post. The odds and prices will be posted below asap.

Gamblog Comment - Where there's money, there will be muck. The WSOP - (world series of poker( will be no different. The first line of defence is the legitimate poker players themselves making noise when they spot cheaters, rather than raising an eyebrow. An unenviable task.

Gamblog Comment - the way I see it, the WTO can investigate the US online gaming prohibition all they want. The Americans are the only ones who can influence the Americans.

Catterick , 19 July 2006

2:30 John Smith's Extra Smooth Novice Auction Stakes
Dollar Chick gets the vote here ahead of Rosbay, with Ingleby Flame also of interest in the opener. The selection went well when a half length second to Hucking Hot at Beverley on debut and there certainly looked to be more to come. Given that she receives 9lb here and she comes from a yard going very well we will side with her to beat Rosbay. Tim Easterby's colt took a while to get the hang of things but went in when stepped up to this trip last time and he should go very close once more. Ingleby Flame looks best of the rest but even with improvement for his defeat by Rosbay on debut he will probably be found wanting here and we prefer Dollar Chick to take home the money.


3:00 Eat, Sleep At Nags Head, Pickhill Handicap
Azurine is very interesting now stepped up to this trip and is taken to score from Collette's Choice, Vice Admiral and Osolomio. The selection has largely been campaigned over a mile thus far and has run creditably in seven starts without breaking her maiden tag. With plenty of form over this trip on her dam's side and top of the ground a distinct plus, Mark Johnston looks to have placed her well to land this handicap. Collette's Choice was a beaten favourite over 14f last time and will probably appreciate this drop back to a 1m4f. Ground conditions suit but she is 8lb higher than her latest win and that should find her out. Vice Admiral is 5lb better off for four lengths with Collette's Choice on their Pontefract running and can make the frame again, while Osolomio is definitely worth a try at this trip and has the credentials to get involved at the business end. But Azurine takes the eye here and gets our vote.


3:30 Roopal Parmar Catterick Experience Selling Stakes
David Barker can repeat last year's win in this seller with Fox Covert, who can see off Smokincanon, The Old Soldier and King Forever. The selection won this off a mark of 48 last year and comes back here now 8lb lower. True enough,he has not been in great form just lately, but his yard have come back with a few winners and he has plenty in his favour here, so he gets the nod. Smokincanon is in decent nick at present and loves genuinely fast ground like this. He went well at Nottingham over this trip last time , and we can see him repeating the dose. King Forever is tried over shorter here after contesting races over a mile and 7f, and he will have to find some extra speed from somewhere, while The Old Soldier is definitely better over 7f and this may just be a bit sharp. Stagnite won at Salisbury last time but is inconsistent and a repeat is by no means certain, so we will stick with Fox Covert to follow up last year's victory.


4:00 John Smith's No Nonsense Handicap
Toy Top is in tip top form at present and can take this Buachaill Dona and Rothesay Dancer. The selection is already a c&d winner who relishes fast ground and lost no caste in defeat off this same mark of 80 at Haydock last time. There is no reason to suggest that he won't be able to repeat that sort of effort and if he does he will take all the beating. Buachaill Dona drops back to the minimum trip after winning on slower ground over 6f at Thirsk last time. There is little to suggest that this trip will be of benefit to him and he is just opposed. Rothesay Dancer loved the firm ground when winning at Ayr last time and gets it again here. He has won off a fair bit higher and looks the big danger, while poor old Hypnosis keeps getting put up for defeats and will have her work cut again, so we take Toy Top to prevail.


4:30 See More On Racing Uk Claiming Stakes
Fenners looks thrown in on official ratings here and gets the vote ahead of Beauchamp Unique and Regency Red. The selection is rated in the 70s, far in excess of anything else here and has his first run following a change of scenery from the Mark Johnston's yard. Clearly the fact that he has made that move means that we are not over confident here, but he showed enough until being heavily eased when beaten at Ripon last week to suggest that his class can get him home in front here. Beauchamp Unique looks the danger and is another much better off than he would be in handicap company. He also has only been tried at this trip once before but should be good enough to get heavily involved here on ground he appreciates. Regency Red is fresh after a decent break and has won over the trip. However, he has tended to need a couple of runs before hitting peak fitness and so he is opposed in favour of Fenners, who is given another chance.


5:00 Racing Uk Live On 432 Median Auction Maiden Stakes
James Given has farmed this race just lately and he can repeat the dose here with Can Can Star, who is taken to be too good for Secret Assassin, Strong Approach and Lucksin. The selection drops back to a more suitalbe 7f after being tried over 9f last time and the booking of Kevin Darley is a big plus. He acts on fast ground and his level of form so far is good enough to give him every chance. Secret Assassin has the best of the draw and is clearly a threat on a course he has run well at before, but is still a maiden after 12 starts and is opposed. Strong Approach still has to truly prove that he gets this far after a few abortive attempts over the trip, while Lucksin has not really lived up to his name after being on the wrong end of a few battles so far, although his consistency should again see him closely involved, but we think Can Can Star can dance off with this as the curtain falls on Catterick's card.

Worcester , 19 July 2006

6:35 Apollo Security Maiden Hurdle
Jubilee Dream gets the vote here with Holy Buck and Legal Glory rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind the highly regarded Delightful Cliche last time out, that form looks rock solid and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Holy Buck rates the main danger on his latest third behind Jacaranda but he gave the impression he would be suited by a longer trip on that occasion and is passed over for that reason. Legal Glory is another that could go well on his latest second behind Possextow but he is more exposed than most and for that reason he is opposed. Of the others Goodnight Tom is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is becoming expensive to follow and with this in mind for the winner we return to the progressive Jubilee Dream.


7:05 Christmas Party Nights At Worcester Selling Handicap Hurdle
Shamsan is taken to land this at the expense of Twist n Turn and Dancing Hill. The selection has in the past been labeled as unreliable but ended his campaign last year in good form putting in some decent performances. His latest effort was a winning one when beating Brief Decline at Huntingdon. Fitness will remain an issue as he has been off the track now for some time but the stable seem in good form and if not too ring rusty he will be difficult to beat. Twist n Turn will pose as the biggest danger as he won well at Wetherby back in April but was out of sorts when a big disappointment at Hereford last time out. He was coming from a break that day and if coming on for it he could run well. As could Dancing Hill had some good form to his name last season and if able to return to form he again has a chance but for the winner we return to Shamsan.


7:35 Wbx.com World Bet Exchange Novices' Handicap Chase
Munadil, Young Tot and Westfield Dancer look the three against the field with the vote going to the last named. Evan Williams has a knack of improving horses that come over from Ireland like Westfield Dancer. His form last season looked moderate but his first run for his new connections was an eye catching one when finishing second to Corrib Drift over course and distance. Improvement is on the cards again and if doing so he will take all the beating. Munadil did win a race over here back in May but since then disappointed when pulling up at Southwell last time out. It was too bad to be true and there could be a relevant excuse but he is to be treated with some caution. Young Tot won a novice hurdle at Exeter last season and has so far run moderately on both his chase runs so improvement is necessary for success here. So for the winner we return to Westfield Dancer.


8:05 Arena Leisure Handicap Hurdle
Langueville Manor can land this at the expense of Topwell and Lucky Do. The selection has the services of McCoy on board and so far this season his form reads well. His latest effort was finishing second to Joey over course and distance looking one paced in the closing stages. He wears blinkers for the first time today which can only help and if giving him that little extra zip he will prove difficult to beat. Topwell has been a little in and out this season but he has the ability to run a fine race. He ran second at Cartmel before disappointing at Uttoxeter and then bouncing back to form when finishing third behind In No Hurry at Market Rasen last time out so because of his unreliability he is to be treated with caution. Lucky Do comes from a yard doing well at present. The horse ran well at Hereford on his penultimate start but ran no kind of race last time out over a shorter trip. This extra half mile should suit so any market moves should be noted but for the winner we return to Langueville Manor.


8:35 Sponsor A Race At Worcester Handicap Chase
Sungates can land his hat-trick at the expense of Music To My Ears and Aston. Evan Williams has his team of horses in fantastic form at present and Sungates is making hay while the sun shines winning at Hereford and Southwell. He was a horse going in the wrong direction until with his new yard and since then has been transformed. The handicapper will eventually get a grip on him but for now he is worth siding with once more. Music To My Ears will have his supporters as he has run some fine races in defeat this season but he has almost become frustrating and the fact that he has been a beaten favourite in the past means he is not the most reliable so is to be treated with caution. Aston on the other hand showed great promise when finishing second to He�s The Biz over course and distance last time out and if back to his best could give the selection a worry but we still feel Sungates will gain the upper hand.


9:05 Evening Racing By The River Maiden Hurdle
Hiawatha, Jamaaron and Principal Witness are three against the field in this competitive finale and the vote is given to Hiawatha. The selection was a fair fifth behind Sakenos last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and with improvement likely and under conditions that suit he looks the one to be on. Jamaaron rates the main danger on his latest third behind Arresting, hr will be suited by this slightly shorter trip and should be noted in the market.Principals Witness is another that could go well he was a fair fourth on his debut behind Sakenos and is sure to improve so should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Olivino was a fair fourth behind Iffy last time and is another worth place claims but he may be seen to better effect ion handicaps and with this in mind for the winner we return to Hiawatha.

Uttoxeter , 19 July 2006

2:10 Sunwin Renault Novices' Hurdle
Bauhaus gets the vote here with Sakenos and Noviciate rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind Song Of Vala last time out, that form sets the standard in the context of this race and with his yard in better form and under conditions that suit he looks the one to be on. Sakenos rates the main danger on his best form but he has since disappointed, however the return to this shorter trip should suit and he should be noted in the market. Noviciate showed ability in bumper but has not progressed as expected, however it is interesting that his shrewd yard are persevering with him. Of the remainder Zailaan hails from a yard in form and is another to note in the market but he may be seen to better effect in handicaps once stepped up in trip and with this in mind for the winner we return to Bauhaus.


2:40 Holdcroft Renault Novices' Chase
Alikat gets the confident vote here with Youllbesolucky and September Moon rating the main dangers. The selection was the best of these over hurdles won well on her chasing debut when beating The Holly Bee, is sure to have learnt from the experience and in receipt of the weight for age allowance she is impossible to oppose. Youllbesolucky rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating Gift Voucher but he will do well to give weight and a beating to the selection. September Moon had looked progressive over fences until taking a heavy fall last time and it is hard to know if his confidence will have been effected. The other two runners have shown very little and are readily opposed and for the winner we return to Alikat who is the confident choice.


3:10 Ezra Sugden Conditional Jockeys' Selling Handicap Hurdle
A wide open seller here and many would have chances on there best form but the principals look to be Mbel Riley, Earl Of Sexton and Kingscourt Lad and the tentative vote is given to Mbel Riley. The selection was a fair second behind Nuzzle last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and off the same mark he looks the one to be on. Earl Of Sexton rates the main danger as he was a fair second behind Templet in similar grade last time out, this stiffer track should suit and with his yard in form he should;d be noted in the market. Kingscourt Lad is another that ran well last time out on his latest second behind Moorlaw, that form has since been franked but the suspicion is he will be sen to better effect over a longer trip. Of the remainder Theflyingscottie would have a chance on his best form but disappointed for no apparent reason last time so can not be put forward with any confidence while Aleemdar is dropping in grade and is another to note in the market but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Mbel Riley.


3:40 Renault Vans Handicap Hurdle
Progressive, Don't Ask Me and Totheroadyouvgone look the three to concentrate on in this tight handicap hurdle and the vote is given to Progressive. The selection was a fair fifth behind Miss Skippy in a better race last time out, this looks easier and with the small field also in his favour he looks the one to be on. Don't Ask Me rates the main danger on his first run of the season but he has since disappointed, however it would be no surprise if he improved for the fitting of first time cheek pieces and tongue tie and he should be watched in the market. Totheroadyouvgone was a fair second behind Celtic Boy last time and is sure to strip fitter here but hi best form is over a slightly longer trip and he is passed over for that reason. Of the remainder Smart Boy Prince is dropping in class and is another to note in the market but for the winner we return to Progressive.


4:10 Renault Master Handicap Chase
Barathea Blue, Mill Bank and Tommy Spar look the three to concentrate on in this tight handicap chase and the vote is given to Barathea Blue. The selection was a fair third behind Rich Song last time out, that form has since been franked and with the drop in trip also in his favour he looks the one to be on. Mill Bank rate the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Midnight Gold but he has a penalty for that win and, this looks tougher and his overall profile leaves him with a little to find. Tommy Spar is another that could go well on his best form but all his best efforts have come over a much longer trip and he l;ooks opposable on that basis. Of the remainder Pams Oak is from a shrewd yard and is sure to run her race but is hard to win with and with this in mind for the winner we return to Barathea Blue.


4:40 Renault Trafic Maiden Hurdle
The two recent bumper winners True Star and Nelson's Spice could fight out the finish here and we will side with the last named, L'Eau du Nil may do best of the rest. Jonjo O'Neill's charge was successful a fortnight ago, getting up to beat Marlowe by three-quarters of a length. He led on the bit in the final furlong and had plenty in reserve. He could be decent recruit to this game and looks the one to be on. True Star is easier to assess as he slaughtered his rivals in a bumper last month. No doubt he will have been well schooled by his capable trainer and he looks the obvious threat to the selection. L'Eau du Nil went close on numerous occasions last season and could get into the places. The pick of the remainder could be Capt Jack, but Nelson's Spice could be a star in the making and he gets the decision.

Lingfield , 19 July 2006

2:20 E.b.f. Maiden Fillies' Stakes
The well-bred Empress Olga will not have to be anything special to get off the mark at the first time of asking, while Veenwouden and Chervil are others that can be expected to go close. Chervil made a satisfactory debut at Warwick last month and can be expected to have learned a great deal from the experience. Ryan Moor is obviously an eye-catching jockey booking for Amanda Perrett's charge and a bold bid is anticipated. Veenwouden represents a yard that have done very well with similar types over the years and a market move for this daughter of Desert Prince looks one to keep on the right side as she develops. Another couple of furlongs will suit her in time and she is very much a long-term prospect. The same can be said of Empress Olga, who looks to have a very bright future ahead of her. She makes her debut at a modest level today and, considering she is a sister to the top-class Russian Rhythm; who wasted no time in showing her own credentials on the racecourse; Empress Olga will only need to have inherited a fraction of her siblings abilities to score at this level.


2:50 Bellway Handicap
Falmassim won in good style at Windsor at the start of this month and has been found a good opportunity to follow up here; possibly at the main expense of Xaluna Bay and Music By Mozart. A move for Garstang would also be interesting to note and he is one to monitor in the betting. Admittedly he is more exposed than most but does have a good attitude and can help to make this a good test. Music By Mozart has his first start in a handicap and has to be given plenty of respect after the recent form shown by a number of his stablemates. Six furlongs is ideal for Peter Chapple-Hyam's representative and it will come as no surprise to see him at least make the frame in this company. Xaluna Bay made the most of a fair opportunity at Kempton last time and delivered on the promise she has shown on a number of occasions. She has more to do this time but is on an upward curve and will be dangerous to ignore now that she has got her act together. However, Falmassim has the most scope for improvement and, from what appears to be a most lenient mark, this son of Mozart is fancied to step things up another notch today.


3:20 Ladies Evening Saturday Median Auction Maiden Stakes
Mr Chad makes plenty of appeal from a punting perspective and is preferred to Our Faye and Mcnairobi, while Star Berry is another interesting newcomer to note in the betting. Star Berry is a sister to stablemate Star Of Light and is sure to benefit from the experience. Further is likely to suit her in time but she would not have to be anything special to go close at this level. Mcnairobi ran her best race to date when short headed on her penultimate start. She was subsequently a touch disappointing at Windsor, so now has a bit to prove. Our Faye made a pleasing debut at Wolverhampton and can be expected to be wiser for a run. She picked up in pleasing fashion and it will be a good boost for her modest breeding if she can manage to win a race at some point. However, Mr Chad catches the eye as a more intriguing option and, as his yard have just started to fire with their juveniles, a bold bid is anticipated from this son of Mujahid.


3:50 E.b.f. Paul Kelleway Memorial Classified Stakes
A tricky little race in which the vote goes to South Cape, while Lightning Flash and Demon Docker are others that must be considered at this level. Support for Moi Aussi would also be dangerous to ignore, as she is wily enough to take a hand on these terms. Her connections were flying high with her in Listed company in France in February and this is more her level. Demon Docker showed plenty of promise when getting off the mark at Wolverhampton last December and can be fancied to have been well educated since. Peter Chapple-Hyam has done wonders with similar horses and a bold attempt from this son of Docksider looks sure to unfold. Lightning Flash is following a tried and trusted path followed by the James Fanshawe yard and has to be given plenty of respect. Fanshawe won this with Cesare last season and the portents look good for a follow up bid. However, she faces a stiff test on these terms and, for one so inexperienced, she is not one to be plunging on at prohibitive odds. A more sporting option is presented in the shape of South Cape, who dropped a significant hint that he was on the way back with a solid effort at Salisbury last week. Mick Channon has enjoyed a steady stream of winners with some of his hard working individuals and South cape is the latest to present punters with a decent betting proposition at the likely prices.


4:20 Hastings Printing Company Handicap
Liberate can gain some compensation for a couple of near misses and is selected in preference to Theatre and Dark Parade, who make the most appeal from the remainder. Dark Parade goes well here and is a much better horse on the artificial surfaces. He has paid the price for his consistency though and now faces a stiff test on the terms of this race. Theatre is a dour stayer that arguably should have won more races than his tally presently registers. However, he also has fourteen placed efforts to his name and has to be a leading candidate to make the frame once more. However, Liberate is easily the most appealing option for win only purposes, as he has been crying out for a crack at two miles. Sir Mark Prescott's charge gave the improving Bauer a real scare at York last week and, as he is open to further improvement over this extra distance, Liberate is fancied to prove himself the most capable under today's conditions.


4:50 Lingfieldpark.co.uk Handicap
Maidford can take an ordinary race that closes the card at Lingfield. Emotive is respected under top weight, while Teide Lady and the lightly raced Princess Danah are others to consider if the market speaks in their favour. Princess Danah is open to plenty of improvement and gets in here off a potentially lenient mark. As a half-sister to the versatile Mandoob, she can be expected to pay her way before too long and it will come as no surprise to see her post a much more polished effort this afternoon. Teide Lady has started to get her act together and also holds each-way claims after a couple of promising efforts in defeat. This is her first visit to Lingfield but she appears to have taken a liking to all weather racing and a bold bid cannot be ruled out. Emotive has gone well for Seb Sanders already this season and the partnership are reunited in a race that lacks strength in depth. However, the son of Pursuit Of Love was held off this mark at Windsor nine days ago and he looks vulnerable giving weight away all around. Therefore, we prefer the claims of Maidford, who has really found her racing shoes this season. The step up in distance is expected to bring about further improvement and, having already won on the Polytrack at Kempton, the daughter of Singspiel has very little to fear on this surface.

Kempton , 19 July 2006

7:00 Weatherbys Printing Apprentice Handicap
Opera Writer can land the opener at the expense of Dumaron and Follow The Colours. The selection was seen in good form when winning a one mile claimer at Southwell last time out. This is a better grade of race but the race is moderate and if running up to his best then he has to be difficult to beat. Dumaron will pose as the biggest danger as he caught the eye when last seen out in the spring when finishing third to Summer Charm at Sandown. The ground conditions are a slight worry though as he has performed well on a heavy surface before now so has to be treated with caution. Follow The Colours has been competing in better races than this and had been in form up until recently. This is a drop in grade so any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Opera Writer.


7:28 E.b.f. Maiden Fillies' Stakes
Mizzle, Elizabeth Street and Spritza look the three against the field with the vote going to the last named. Spritza comes from a yard in form and this filly has run well on both runs so far and ran a blinder when second at Windsor last time. This step up in trip will suit her and with more improvement likely to come she has to be on the short list. Mizzle will be the likely favourite but with the Godophin horses not exactly firing on all cylinders she has to be treated with caution. She finished third at Yarmouth over this trip last time out and she will be breaking her maiden tag shortly bit others are preferred here. Elizabeth Street was running at Royal Ascot last time out so this drop in grade is significant. Connections must feel she has ability to have chosen that route as she was thrown in at the deep end last time and if not showing side effects she can go close. But for the winner we return to Spritza.


7:56 Tfm Networks Nursery Handicap
Babylon Sister is taken to score here at the expense of Ten Dollars More and Carsons Spirit. A winner at Lingfield when getting the better of Tenderhooks Babylon Dancer looked eye catching that day and with conditions to suit once more she is taken follow up on that success. Ten Dollars More will be the biggest danger to the selection having won earlier on in the season at Southwell and running well in defeat at Wolverhampton last time out when finishing second behind Princeton. Another bold run is expected. Carsons Spirit won at Bath on his debut but was thrown in the deep end at Royal Ascot last time out when completely outclassed. This will prove a lot easier but he will have to be back to his best to score so for the winner we return to Babylon Sister.


8:24 Martin Collins Enterprises Handicap (qualifier)
Barathea Dreams can prove himself capable under top weight and land this modest prize; Firesong the Logsdail are also very much respected with their claims, while support for Primo Gold would be foolhardy to ignore in a race like this. Primo Gold - a half-brother to winning miler on the Flat Maunby Rocker - gets in here off a featherweight rating of 58 and could easily make a mockery of that assessment. The market will be a solid gauge as to how high the stable's expectations are for his seasonal debut. Logsdail is yet to win on the All Weather but does handle this surface well enough to be considered a threat. Ryan Moore knows him well and a bold attempt looks to be on the cards. Firesong is yet to really set the world alight and has been hiding his abilities under a bushel. His best efforts have been over this trip; so he cannot be ruled out of making the frame. However, Barathea Dreams has a more solid profile and he rates a good value to live up to his credentials as the top rated horse in the race.


8:52 Book Now For Irish Night Fillies' Handicap
Best Guess, Famcred and Lunar Express are three against the field in this competitive handicap and the vote is given to Famcred. The selection disappointed on turf last time but prior to that he had been in good form on the all-weather she returns to her favourite surface here and from a good draw and off a good mark she looks the one to be on. Best Guess rates the main danger as she won well last time when beating Odessa Star but this looks topugher and she will need to improve again to win off this mark. Lunar Express is another that could go well on her latest second behind Waterline Twenty, this longer trip should suit and she should be noted in the market. Of the remains er Lucky Token is game and consistent and is sure to run her race but she looks weighted up to her best and with this in mind for the winner we return to Famcred.


9:20 Tfm Networks Handicap
Mataram's defeat of High Octave last time reads well in the context of this race and he is taken to follow up from Imperial Gain, Neardown Beauty and Satin Doll. The selection looked straight enough for that reappearance and is bred to improve on his juvenile form as an older horse. This trip suits and the track should not inconvenience, although it is his first time right-handed, but we take him to go in again in a race that should not take too much winning. Like the selection Imperial Gain has a decent draw and was not beaten far at Leicester over this trip last time. Fast ground suits and so this surface should be ideal, and we'll take him to go close again. Neardown Beauty was a 7f winner at Lingfield last month but has struggled off this sort of mark since and will probably be found wanting once more, while Satin Doll drops back in trip and has shown enough so far to suggest she can get involved here. But Mataram sets the standard and can score.

Gamblog Comment ::
Nice write up by the Golden Rule Of Poker editor, on who actually runs the backend of the online gaming scene and who is zooming who financially - allegedly.

# Reports on 888.com and Microgaming funding Ecogra(fact) and the problem with the many suggested practises littered throughout the "egaps", that should be a given, not a suggestion(fact).

# Mentions that the casino's and software suppliers resorting to payout percentage verification systems, such as the tgtr (total gaming transaction review), run by Price Waterhouse Coopers SA, is inadequate in proving the game is fair(fact). Checking RNG's won't cut it either for many reasons(fact).

& other gaming related, slightly political stuff, for the more nosier of punters, who are a bit interested in who "allegedly runs online gaming", behind the scenes.

There is an Election Lottery going on over there in in the USA (arizona).

What it boils down to is this. Voters in Arizona cast their vote. In return they are entered into a $million prize, statewide lottery.

The aim of the thing is to get more people to vote.

Gamblog Comment - Voting and lottery tickets is a good idea to get voters to vote more. Even if they oppose the proposed US online gambling ban.

Yarmouth , 18 July 2006

6:20 Aeropak E.b.f. Maiden Stakes
The opener can go the way of Atheneum at the expense of the two newcomers Furmingadelagiusta and Kings Causeway. The selection trained by Mark Johnston has experience on his side and now with three runs under his belt he has improved with each effort. His latest start was eye catching when third to The Old Fella at Epsom two weeks ago and a repeat performance will see him difficult to beat. Furmingadelagiusta is well worth noting in the market along with Kings Causeway as both trainers are good at producing first time out two year old winners. As is the Neville Callaghan trained Diggs Lane who is nicely bred and is bound to know its job first time of asking. But for the winner we return to Atheneum.


6:50 Diomed Developments Selling Nursery Handicap
Danger Alley, Splendidio, Suzieblue and Peggys Flower are the four against the field with the vote going to the last named. Peggys Flower was seen in winning action at Windsor last month when getting the better of Mrs Crossy by a neck and followed that success with a fine second at Brighton. Since then though he was disappointing at Lingfield and now has to prove himself again. If he is forgiven his latest effort he has to go well. Danger Alley ran with promise at Warwick when third beaten three lengths. He can improve here but needs to if he is to worry the judge. Splendidio has been consistent of late and is one to note as is Suzieblue who won a little seller at Chepstow last month but was nearer last than first last time out at Bath in similar company so is to be treated with caution. So for the winner we return to Peggys Flower.


7:20 4head Handicap
This could end up a two horse race involving Heavens Walk and Malapropism with Bluebok also worth noting with the nod going to Heavans Walk. The selection is bidding for a hat-trick after wins at Lingfield and Kempton. His latest win was when beating After The Show by one and a quarter lengths. He is now fourteen pounds higher in the weights but still looks well treated and with a nice racing weight to carry here he is worth siding with once more. Malapropism carries a six pound penalty for his win at York last time out so connections must feel his is better off now than waiting to be reassessed by the handicapper. Bluebok has the services of Jamie Spencer and was a winner at Musselburgh last month. He recaptured his form at Warwick last time out when second to Caribbean Coral and a repeat performance will see him enter the frame but for the winner we return to Heavens Walk.


7:50 Adios Claiming Stakes
Ionian Spring can land this with ease at the expense of Eminence Gift and Pay On. The connections of the selection must feel confident of success here after some encouraging performances of late. He managed a win at Chepstow last month and has since run well in defeat. This looks an easy task and if running up to his usual standard success is surly only just around the corner. Eminence Gift is the biggest danger to the selection having won over course and distance last year. His form this season though has not been up to scratch and he will need improvement to beat the likely favourite. Pay on is winless after five starts but does have the services of Dettori so any market moves should be noted but for the winner we return to Ionian Spring.


8:20 Freederm Virginia Stakes (fillies' Listed)
Reunite looks the class act in this listed fillies contest and can win at the expense of Local Spirit, Mamela and Postage Stamp. The Godolphin team have been very much more out than in this season but Reunite was not disgraced at Royal Ascot when finishing fifth of eleven behind Monte Etoile. She won on her only run as a two year old at Nottingham and won at the same track on her seasonal reappearance so is a filly going in the right direction. Local Spirit won on the all weather before running a personal best at Haydock last time out when finishing second of eight behind Allegretto. That showed marked improvement in form but she may find a couple too good this time. The same can be said for the unbeaten Postage Stampe who after wins at Folkestone and Lingfield is thrown right in the deep end in listed company. Connections must feel she has ability and she has proved already proved that but this is a tough task. Mamela has form in Germany and of her two runs for her stable her latest effort at Pontefract was eye catching but she will have to improve on that so for the winner we return to Reunite.


8:50 Bazuka Handicap
Alambic can land his hat-trick at the expense of Lefonic and Phoebe Woodstock. The selection has notched up wins at Musselburgh and Folkestone this season and connections are keen to race with a penalty rather than wait to be reassessed by the handicapper. That alone suggests that the horse has a great chance of winning so with that in mind all he needs to do is repeat what he has already achieved and he should win again. Lefonic has won twice this season also at Wolverhampton and Lingfield but they have been both below standard races and more will be needed to score here. While Phoebe Woodstock has no wins from seven starts and has to lump top weight around after some decent efforts last year as a three year old but has so far this season failed to recapture some of her old sparkle so for the winner we return to Alambic.

Newcastle , 18 July 2006

6:40 Transcend Bloodstock Apprentice Handicap
Mill By The Stream is likely to represent good value in the opener and is a sporting choice, while Celtic Thunder, Whittinghamvilage and the old boy Sharp Hat are other that can be expected to go well. Sharp Hat has been a real credit to his connections and, as he proved at Musselburgh last month, he can still pay his way when things go right for him. He still retains a turn of foot and any money to back up his claims would be dangerous to ignore. Whittinghamvilage is another that is capable on his her day and is versatile regarding the trip. However, she has been very hard to win with and needs everything to go her way. Celtic Thunder won well at Haydock earlier in the month and still has plenty to offer from his current mark. James Millman gave him a peach of a ride at Haydock and a repeat performance would not be out of the question today. However, Mill By The Stream is also capable of taking a hand at this level and, having shown improved form of late, the four-year-old rates as a solid value option in a wide open contest.


7:10 Simpson & Gregg Ltd Novice Auction Stakes
Holdin Fort is the obvious one on the evidence available and he is readily preferred to Miss Puffle and Chastity, while Desert Maze can only learn from this and is one to watch on this occasion. Chastity is a halt-sister to Miss Emma - a six-furlong winner as a juvenile - so may be capable of paying her way before too long. Her yard have not been noted for first time out winners though and she too makes limited appeal for win only purposes. Miss Puffle is a half-sister to smart juvenile Miss Meggy and makes the most interest for the forecast slot. Again her yard's youngsters have yet to set the world alight and it will be very surprising if she is capable of getting the better of the selection. Holdin Fort won easily on her debut at Musselburgh in June and was then far from disgraced in finishing seventh in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot. That form is good enough to see her through a contest like this and it will be a major blow for her connections if she cannot brush this lot aside.


7:40 Holystone Demolition Ltd Claiming Stakes
Beau Sancy can maintain his unbeaten status and confirm his superiority over Lansdown and see off Just Dust in the process. The last named posted a respectable effort to win at Brighton earlier in the month and has showed a likable attitude. He already looks professional and can make this a good test if he has thrived since. Lansdown has been consistent in her races and, from the bottom of the weights has to be respected on these terms. However, she was no match for the selection at Redcar and comes here with a little bit to prove. Therefore, we stick with Beau Sancy, who was a real eye-catcher on his introduction and this half-brother to Funfair Wayne is strongly fancied to cope with this latest test of his abilities.


8:10 Transcend Bloodstock Maiden Stakes
Hard to get away from Act Friendly, who can give Godolphin a small boost in the build up to some of the bigger meetings in the comings weeks; Musical Giant and Knight Valiant are forwarded as the biggest dangers from the rest. Knight Valiant has yet to really catch the imagination on what he has shown so far and needs to find a fair bit of improvement from somewhere. However, he was entitled to need the run on his reappearance and has to be considered for the forecast in this company. As does Musical Giant, who was an expensive purchase and makes plenty of appeal on pedigree. Unfortunately, his visits to the racecourse have not been as interesting as his breeders would have hoped for and he now has plenty to prove. Therefore, this does appear to be a straightforward task for Act Friendly in her bid to get off the mark. The daughter of Sadler's Wells is sure to appreciate the step up in trip and, with Kerrin McEvoy making the journey to Newcastle for this one ride, there are plenty of positive signs and we expect she will be very hard to beat in this company.


8:40 Close House Country Club Handicap
Fossgate gets the nod over Cottingham, while Bright Sun and Airbound are respected as the best of the rest in a tricky handicap. Airbound has shown flashes of ability and, as an expensive purchase, he has to be respected. Mark Johnston is yet to really get to the bottom of this son of Fusaichi Pegasus and his charge needs to improve for this step up in trip. The market will be a good gauge where he is concerned. Bright Sun has plenty of experience to draw from and, having posted a fair effort last time, he can be expected to go close again in this company. However, his task is complicated by being set to carry top weight and he looks vulnerable on these terms. Cottingham has been the model of consistency has made the transition from Banded Stakes to handicaps a successful move in recent times. However, he now has to register a career best effort and needs everything to fall into place for him. Therefore, we prefer the claims of Fossgate, who also arrives here at the top of his game. James Bethel's charge went close over course and distance 18 days ago and can make this a good test for the rest from the same mark.


9:10 Sendrig Construction 25th Anniversary Handicap
Colonel Cotton is not straightforward and will need to be sharper from the stalls than he was at York last Friday, but he does still have the ability to take a race like this and is given one more chance to prove himself. Ryedane and Henry Hall are others with leading claims, while Divine Spirit is also capable but has been a touch below par in his last couple of starts and looks to be struggling with the handicapper at present. Henry Hall loves fast ground and, having gone close at Haydock earlier in the month, has proved that he still has the capability to figure in this company. A market move will be interesting where he is concerned. Ryedane made the most of an attractive mark to score at Catterick a fortnight ago and also has to be respected in his current frame of mind. The minimum trip is not a problem for him and a bold bid is anticipated. However, Colonel Cotton is absolutely thrown in from his present rating of just 71 and, with Richard Fahey's team in flying form at present, we are prepared to give this old rogue another throw of the dice at this level.

Brighton , 18 July 2006

2:30 Matthew Clark Median Auction Maiden Stakes
Turn Me On gets the call over Balian and Danawi, with Kahlua Bear worth a mention as well. Turn Me On shaped well on both juvenile starts, finishing third over five furlongs at both Lingfield and Thirsk, and was then stepped up to seven furlongs for his belated return to the fray last month. In truth he was disappointing, but that was his first outing in a year, and Michael Bell's charge should improve for the run and also for the slight drop back in trip. Balian chased home Glasshoughton at Sandown in handicap company in June but has in the main been costly to follow. Even so, he should make his presence felt in this field, and can give the selection most to do. Danawi is a similar sort but hails from a stable that has plenty of speedy sorts, while the other two here have it to do on form. For the winner we return to Turn Me On under Hayley Turner.


3:00 Betfred Sprint Series Handicap (qualifier)
Sovereignty gained a well deserved victory last time and can follow up this afternoon, Sarah's Art and Dance To The Blues may provide most danger. Dean Ivory's charge had been steadily improving this season and took full advantage of a drop into selling company at Wolverhampton, beating Aswan, with subsequent winner Rudi's Pet back in fourth. There could be more to come and he looks the one to be on. Sarah's Art finished runner up in a class four contest at Newmarket last time and will find this company less taxing. Dance To The Blues rarely gets beaten far and put in another solid effort last time when a close up fifth behind Drumming Party at Newbury. Adam Kirby takes the mount and the combination should be involved in the finish. The pick of the others could be Ivory Lace, but Sovereignty looks on the upgrade and should be followed.


3:30 Gaymers Cider Selling Stakes
The Slider was a game winner at Beverley last time but it was a dire contest and so we will take a chance with Sunstroke, Sad Times may also run well. The selection is trained by Mick Quinlan who has a good line to juvenile form. She showed she had ability when finishing a close up fourth in a better race than this at Lingfield last time and will appreciate this drop to selling company. The Slider did improve on her debut run and should still be a force in this type of company. Meanwhile Sad Times cannot easily be ignored as she did land a similar race to this at Yarmouth recently. It is a race where you should be conservative with your stake, but Sunstroke sould be the one to invest in.


4:00 Piper Heidsieck Champagne Handicap
Fantasy Defender and Prince Valentine have the best recent form on show and have to be respected, however we will take a chance with Zafarilla. Pat Eddery's charge is making her seasonal debut having had three outings over five furlongs as a juvenile. She is superbly bred by Zafonic out of a Green Desert mare and will be seen to much better effect over this mile distance. Prince Valentine has to be a major threat having comfortably landed a course and distance seller last time. Meanwhile Fantasy Defender comes into the argument on his third here behind the in form Out For A Stroll. In a wide open contest course winner Zingling is also capable of getting involved, however we expect the step up in trip to show Zafarilla in a much better light and she gets our vote.


4:30 Blackstone Winery Handicap
Gigs Magic is taken to land this off bottom-weight, Another Con and Fortune Point my pose the biggest threats. Mark Johnston's runners always warrant respect here at Brighton and Gigs Maigic has the form to go close. He was successful at Hamilton in June and wasn't beaten far last time by the progressive Three String at Musselburgh. If he handles this unique track he should go close off his current mark. Fortune Point is one that has no problems with this circuit having been successful over course and distance last month and another big run is expected. Another Con has claims on a recent Warwick victory over Meelup, while Take a Mile is not overburdened on his seasonal return. It is certainly a wide open event and a tentative vote is given to Gigs Magic.


5:00 Catering Services International Apprentice Handicap
Equilibria is a sporting selection in a tricky finale, Icannshift and Meelup appear to be the best alternatives. Gary Moore's four-year-old took on some decent hurdlers over the winter and has returned to flat in unspectacular style. However he may not have acted on the all-weather at Kempton and may have found the trip too far next time at Folkestone. Over this mile and a half, on ground that should suit, he could go close off a lowered mark. Icannshift disappointed here last time but had previously finished an excellent second behind Rose Bien at Folkestone. He has to be considered a live danger on a track that he likes. The pick of the remainder could be Meelup, a recent runner up to Another Con at Folkestone and String Serenade who has winning form here. However Equilibria is now down to a very tempting mark and could be the best option.

Beverley , 18 July 2006

2:15 Racing Uk On Sky 432 Claiming Stakes
Esoterica has been a costly failure on his last two runs but is given a chance to get the losses back here, Touch Of Ivory and Knickerless could provide most danger. The selection's last two efforts have been in decent enough handicaps at Musselburgh and Carlisle and he wasn't beaten far on both occasions. He drops into claiming company for the first time and should be good enough to beat these rivals. Touch Of Ivory has hit a rich vein of form, winning twice recently and not disgraced last time off a mark of 61. On official ratings she is quite well treated here and looks the main threat to our choice. Knickerless is from a yard that has a good recent record in this type of event and it would be no surprise to see this lightly weighted filly go well at a decent price. Sapphire Storm has recent winning form and looks the pick of the remainder, but we will give Esoterica another chance.


2:45 Medieval Night Here Next Monday Maiden Auction Stakes
Just seven runners here but most of them have shown some sort of ability and so a tentative vote goes to Ice Mountain, Perlachy and Josr's Magic may do best of the others. Bryn Smart's colt showed the benefit of his debut run when improving to chase home Argentine at Carlisle earlier this month. It is difficult to know just what to make of that form, but the third was five lengths away and so it could be decent enough. Perlachy has been model of consistency and put in another solid effort last time out when third behind Evens And Odds over course and distance. The time was reasonable and with conditions in his favour again today he does look a major threat. Josr's Magic has hit the frame in all three races to date and should be inj the money once again. Dotty's Daughter looks the best of the rest but our idea of the winner is Ice Mountain.


3:15 Join Racing Uk Club Handicap
Angaric's form figures are quite impressive and he has to be respected, however Xpres Maite looks on the upgrade and is taken to land the hat-trick, Royal Composer may do best of the others. The form of the selection's first win at Wolverhampton looks rock solid, the runner up has bolted in since and the third home had scooted home on his previous run. Xpres Maite showed it was no fluke by comfortably going in next time at Southwell. If that form can be translated to the turf he will be hard to beat. Angaric hasn't been out of the first two this season and lost no caste in defeat last time behind Rationale at Leicester. He has a course and distance win as well and so will be a big threat to the selection. Royal Composer is a consistent sort but as a result is getting no release from the handicapper, however he should still play a major role. All in all a competitive handicap but it is hard to get away from the claims of Xpres Maite.


3:45 121st Year Of The Watt Memorial Handicap
Just four runners for this feature handicap and we will give the vote to Key Time, You Too and Haatmey may be the ones to chase him home. The selection is a typically progressive handicapper from the Sir Mark Prescott yard. He absolutely bolted up at catterick last time and six pound penalty may not be enough to stop him making itb three wins from four outings this season. You Too ended last campaign with a smooth maiden success at Nottingham and she dropped away tamely on her return to the track at Redcar. She may have needed that run and the stable was out of form and so we should see a much better performance this afternoon. Haatmey won that Redcar event, but was a big disappointment next time out. If on a going day he has to be considered a threat. Mister Arjay was successful at Newcastle last time but may struggle to follow up in this tougher contest. Which brings us back to our selection Key Time.


4:15 Go Racing At Pontefract On Friday Night Handicap
Ann Stokell has her horses in tip top form and so we will side with her runner Percy Douglas, who is a sporting selection in a wide open contest, Bahamian Bay and Campeon are two others worthy of respect. Percy Douglas had been steadily dropping down the weights and almost took advantage with an excellent second to Strawberry Patch at Musselburgh last time. He was far enough clear of the rest to suggest the form is quite decent and he can go one better this afternoon. Bahamian Bay comes here at the top of her game having made it two from two this season when dead-heating with Pennel at Southwell last time. She still looks on a decent mark and should make her presence felt. Campeon has been running better than his form figures suggest and he could be the pick of the Milton Bradley pair. The old-timer Paddywack was successful here in June and could be the pick of the remainder, however Percy Douglas, from what looks a decent enough draw, may be the best option.


4:45 Stars Of The Future Apprentice Handicap
The booking of Greg Fairley catches the eye on Tom Tate's well bred Bold Medicean, so watch this one in the betting, however the best recent form on show could be from Farne Island who gets the verdict ahead of Mambo Sun and Markestino. Farne Island appears to be on the upgrade and was only just beaten by Three Strings at Musselburgh last week. This event looks slightly easier and we expect him to go one better. Mambo Sun has gone off the boil recently but has strong claims on earlier form this season which included an excellent second to Dark Planet here in April. Meanwhile Markestino, unlike the rest of these does boast winning form this season. It goes without saying that this is a very weak affair and Farne Island should be good enough to take first prize.


5:15 Marie Tinkler Lady Riders Handicap
Mick Easterby holds strong claims here running Emperor's Well and Gala Sunday, both should be in the shake up, however we will take a chance with Fiore di Bosco. The key to this race is a recent contest at Nottingham where David Barron's five-year-old was well beaten behind today's rival Gala Sunday. However the selection started very slowly that day and got well behind before staying on well to finish fifth. She has a nice turn around in the weights this afternoon and if breaking better should be capable of reversing the form. Emperor's Well finished eighth in that contest without being given a hard race. He has a massive pull in the weights today and should get a lot closer. Splodgermac caused a bit iof a shock when winning at Pontefract last week and may do best of the others, but in a fascinating contest, Fiore di Bosco just gets the nod.

The online casino industry is set for an accounting overhaul - apparently.

The UK financial director reported that the largest online gaming firms have agreed to standardise their accounting systems. A move aimed at "standardising the sector's disparate accounting" - apparently.

Gamblog Comments - It's all fot the beter right? So now the players and general public will all know half the figures re the online gambling firms accounts right? - apparently so.

Gambling Legends and/or Myth.

Charles Wells is allegedly the man who broke the bank in Monte Carlo way back in 1891 playing roulette, apparently using the Martingale system (doubling stakes after every loser).

The world must be littered with gamblers who have lost a lot of money using the Martingale system. The horseracing equivalent is the tic-tac system, which comprises of the "stop-at-a-winner" theory backing the favourite in every race at any given meeting in a day, to win 10% of the bankroll or whatever figure the punter decides to chase.

The FBI have arrested and detained online gaming boss David Curruthers at an un-named American airport, apparently in a crackdown by the US authorities on internet gambling. Curruthers is the ceo of BetonSports.com, basically an American style online betting shop.

Another online sportsbook boss, Jay Cohen, who ran the World Sports Exchange, was previously jailed for 20 months in the US, for apparently breaching the federal Wire Wager Act, 18 U.S.C. 1084. So this is no joke arrest by the FBI, or the USDOJ, aimed at sending out a warning to all online gaming operators who allow American residents to gamble on the internet. This is serious and people are going to jail.

Gamblog Comment - It seems to me David Curruthers may be in some trouble having got himself caught travelling through America, from the well known online gaming destination Costa Rica, to England. Curruthers has lambasted the US attorney before over US gaming laws, so I am not surprised they targeted him and the firm he works for in particular.

The rest of the online based bookmakers will be watching their backs if they take sports bets from Americans. Online poker room and online casino gaming bosses will be avoiding travelling to America for the foreseeable future I guess, but that may not really be necissary.

Gamblog Comment - So now you know.

There are some strange American slot machines about for sure. I know little about them.

The new style fruit machines here in the UK are no better. True, the American style slots I played online were boring. Pretty much all of them were Bar X style machines with no afterplay, not even a nudge feature. This has changed lately with firms like Microgaming building UK style online fruit machines with nudges and cash multiplier bonus rounds etc.

Nowadays when I go to an arcade amusements centre by the seaside, the fruit machines are so complicated, it takes a gaming mathemetician to solve out what all the flashing lights actually do.

Or maybe i'm just getting old.

I have invented a new casino game in my mind a good few times. It usually involves cards, always involves making a £million for little in the way of hard work. Then I wake up from my dream and look out the window of grey old London town.

If you try to invent a "new casino game", the chances are odds on, to the tune of 1/100 odds on, that you will do your bollocks.

Inventing New Casino Games
Michael Shackelford explains the difficulty of Inventing and Marketing New Casino Games to the gaming public, in slightly more informed language than I. The result is the same, it is hard work.

A Successful New Casino Game
The only casino game I have seen successfully introduced and marketed to the gaming public is Geoff Hall's Blackjack Switch on the Isreal based Playtech internet casino gaming platform.

If you don't know how the betting shops etc make money from offering gambling markets to punters, it is via the "over round". Prices are offered on a horserace, these odds have a mathematical advantage built in when added together. Over a long period of gambling, almost all bettors lose. The over round, (vig or vogorish) is the culprit.

Poker player and blogger Bill Rini has unearthed concrete Proof That Online Poker Is Indeed Rigged

When this proof of cheating by Partypoker hits the mainstream press, there is going to be uproar amongst the online gaming community and player advocates.

Damn, it's so obvious to me now. All the "if it's online, it's rigged, the poker is rigged!" crew win the day. Gambling, specifically re poker, is not a game of chance it seems.

Righteo.

The World Cup Final (Sunday 9th of July, 2006 - 7pm kickoff) betting is quite tight. Italy (11/8) are just about favourites to topple the French(15/8) in 90 minutes to rain on Zinedine Zidanes retirement parade.

The Ladbrokes odds compilers go 4/5 the Italian outright win, the French are priced at even money. At those odds, i'll take France to win. It really is a toss-of-the-coin between the teams.

The 90 minute betting odds are as follows. Italy 11/8, Draw 9/5, France 15/8. I'll be taking the drawn match at 90 minutes at odds of 9/5.

Poor Poker client Encryption & Security is a charge that has been levelled at 14 online poker rooms. Surprisingly including the well known Fred Done Bookmakers Poker according to Paul Jones from the newly formed UK Gambling Forums

What Poker Room Security Issues?
In a nutshell, some poker rooms are dropping unencrypted usernames and password information onto players computers. A users registry with text entry passwords may well be easily gleaned by various viruses and trojans via open ports or dodgy downloads. I think it is quite a serious breach of security for various reasons. It is not something I have noticed as normal practise with online casino software suppliers like Microgaming for example.

Gamblog Comment - It should not be difficult for the Poker Rooms to address this security issue. Let's see how quickly they deal the cards correctly. To call the online poker players bluff on this one will eventually cost them more than a few hands of poker, for sure.

After surviving hurricanes, structural collapse, even mob violence, the Atlantic City casinos have always found a way to keep the action going and the drinks flowing. After all they have been through since gambling was legalized in New Jersey in 1978, it's hard to imagine that it is a budget crisis that ultimately closes their doors.

State Law Makers were given a deadline of July 1 to reach an accord on new budget guidelines at the state's budget talks in Trenton, NJ. Failing to meet this deadline, Gov. Jon S. Corzine ordered all State services closed on Wednesday, July 5.

The closure included ALL State administered services, including beaches, camp grounds, child welfare, State hospitals, the NJ State Police Department, and offices that regulate the State's Lottery and the 12 casinos operating in Atlantic City.

Without a regulatory body to govern the casinos, they have no choice but to close the doors on all gaming venues until further notice. Secondary services, such as restaurants and gift shops, will remain open, but without the gaming floor to draw in the patrons, no one really expects these areas to gain much attention.

The move will ultimately put 15,000 casino workers without a job today, and cost the State of New Jersey $2 Million USD per day in tax revenues.

The only other gaming venue within driving distance is Foxwoods resort in Connecticut. With limited options on the East Coast, it should be interesting to see if a spike in internet gambling emerges from that part of the country.

Sadly, the lack of gambling is only the smallest part of this story. Without a state police force or even basic services available, this is truly a state of emergency for New Jersey, and one we hope to see a peaceful resolution to in coming days.
