#Sprint Series

Well hopefully you enjoyed the Christmas cheer with family and friends, and imbibed responsibly of course. Now it is on to a new year and all those fatuous resolutions will be thought about. Punters - as you are - might even suggest it worth keeping a record of your investments (well at least for the first week or so of January) so as to know your…

The eyes of most punters will be focused on the Curragh, where four Group Ones light up a tremendous card for day two of Longines Irish Champions Weekend. The Eddie Lynam-trained Soffia gets the nod in what promises to be an intriguing clash with British raider Mabs Cross in the Derrinstown Stud Flying Five Stakes. The former was hugely impressive…

It is the Group One clash to which every racing fan in Hong Kong - and millions more around the world - is counting down the days, but who will start the Stewards' Cup favourite if Golden Sixty, California Spangle and Romantic Warrior line up against each other over the Sha Tin mile on January 29? It is unlikely to be Golden Sixty, according to…

ALI ROGERS has turned out in a number of team hues in recent months, but the only colour he is focused on wearing now is the dark blue of Scotland at under-20 level. The 19-year-old loose-head prop has his sights set on playing a major role in an important 2023 for the age-grade national side which gets underway with the Six Nations opener away to…

Racing NSW chief executive Peter V'landys has hinted at further stakes increases in coming months after releasing details of a massive $30m prizemoney package. "These increases are absolutely sustainable and fully funded, and there is a possibility we will be announcing further prizemoney increases in the next six months," V'landys revealed at a…

A busy week for the ITV Racing team continues with action from three meetings on Saturday, with an eight-race broadcast dominated by Lingfield's Classic Trials card. ITV4 is the place to tune in from 1.30-4.30pm, with three races from the Surrey course plus two from Ascot and three from Haydock Park. John Hill has recommendations for all eight…

Australian racing delivers a sensory overload this Friday night, with stakes riches and fabulous wagering opportunities in both Sydney and Melbourne. A gigantic field of 4-year-old horses - and some famous European jockeys - will chase a $10 million purse at Rosehill Racecourse in the Golden Eagle, while racing "purists" will relish one of the…

What do Overpass, Converge and In The Congo have in common? They have all beaten Godolphin superstar Anamoe. Given the trio boast the strongest form in Australian racing, it is telling that neither of them are favourite for the $10m Golden Eagle (1500m) at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday. This is a reflection of the depth and quality of the field that…

The cars were painted in their national colours, and the closest to sponsorship was a small logo of companies that were suppliers of tires and fuel. Initially, advertising sponsorship was banned. However, in 1968, BP and Shell withdrew from Formula 1, and Firestone began charging for tires. In order to increase the income of the teams, advertising…

IT'S been a glorious week for the purists at Goodwood with the three stellar Group 1 races mopped up by short priced favourites. But today punters can truly get stuck in to one of the most compelling betting puzzles of the season in the Coral Stewards' Cup.
