Well, that’s been some week. Argentina losing to Saudi Arabia, and Ze Germans losing to Japan ( I did notice Germany’s lack of a 2nd goal in pre-World Cup matches but contrasted that with 5 goals v Italy and 3 v England but that lack of 2nd goal cost them v Japan). 4...

Here’s a look, this week, at a great way to spot horses which are either gambled on by the stable/connections, or in whom the bookies have some insider info. The bookmakers are a canny bunch. Information is their King, particularly where horse racing is concerned. I...

Continuing our look at all things flat season, we turn our hand to the shortest distance out there. Sprint distances are a little like the money in my current account after I’ve just filled the car with petrol. Gone. In. A. Flash. Let’s take a closer look at 5 furlong...
