Rosehill Racecourse in Sydney will come alight on Saturday with the $125,000 Missile Stakes that is set to be one of the biggest with a host of classy runners. The 1100 meter race is placed perfectly in the racing calendar for both winter sprinters and spring racers resuming after a long break and attracts the big group 3 names. There are five horses tipped to be in the running. Dreamscape, Kroner, Fritz’s Princess, Olonana and last years Missile Stakes runner up Typhoon Zed all paying under $10 with the bookies.
After looking at the recent form and trial times Dreamscape is the one to beat here. I expect him to lead early from barrier four and should be well and truly up the front come the home straight. He’s also got what it takes to hold the competition out with a great 10.9 split in the final 200 meters of a 800 meter run recently. Read more of this article »

Australia ($4.75 @ SportsBet) will be looking to get themselves back into the running for the Ashes by posting a win in the third test match at Edgbaston in Birmingham. After winning at Lord’s to take a 1-0 lead in the series, England ($7 @ SportsBet) will be looking to enhance their advantage and they have an excellent chance of doing so given the inclement weather throughout the preceding week.
With the bowling squad that Australia has at its disposal, it is difficult to envision a tie of 1-1 in the series at the end of the game. The Aussies may very well want to rethink their attack and probably get in an extra bowler in place of a frontline batsman for such a conclusion to happen. When looking at things from the other side if conditions play out as expected, there will be a lot of swing and seam, both through the air and off the pitch. These conditions will favour England. What may not favour England is the weather which may end the game early.
In my opinion, the inclusion of Steve Harmison is a must, especially with the lack of fitness that Andrew Flintoff has shown. The pair both bowl at a similar length, and they both have a tendency to extract bounce where few others have been able to in the series so far. If Phil Hughes is once again going to be batting at the top for the visitors, then the selection of Harmison becomes even more valuable, especially when you consider the hold that he had over Phil Hughes in the tour game.

The AFL coach betting markets have changed massively after the shock appointment of Nathan Buckley to Collingwood with a five year contract.
Buckley was previously the favourite to get the job at either Richmond or North Melbourne but now the market has been blown open with some good value for some potential new coaches for the 2010 season.
Here a run down of the Richmond Coaching markets from Sportingbet Read more of this article »

It will be a huge test for both teams and the winner will likely take a top 4 spot by the end of the weekend.

A massive rivalry round of football with some important top eight clashes and a couple of local derbies to add to the mix. To name a game of the round would be too hard with so many blockbuster games on but I think the St Kilda V Western Bulldogs game also the classic Carlton V Collingwood clash on Friday night could prove to be the most exciting games of the round.

Update:
Sportingbet have just opened a new market now that St Kilda has lost a game. Will St Kilda lose a 2nd game in 2009 (finals included) Yes is paying $1.35 and No $3.00. Interesting odds for both sides and I think its worth a bet for Saints to not lose another at $3.00. Checkout the latest odds at Sportingbet.
Its the question on everyone’s lips. Can the Saints go 22 wins in a row in what would be a new AFL record?
T
he current AFL record is 20 consecutive wins in a season which Essendon currently holds (year 2000). One record St Kilda does already own is its AFL/VFL record breaking losing streak. Between 1897 and 1899 they went 48 games without a win, a fine effort that would be worth many priority draft picks these days! Read more of this article »

Caulfield will come to life with the $100,000 Sir John Monash Stakes on Saturday. It should be an exciting race with a handy field of winter sprinters lined up in the race.
IASbet’s bookmaker Mark Read is tipping the favourite, Gran Sasso, to have a win.
“I Am Invincible ($3.70) will set a keen pace up front and, from his gun draw, Gran Sasso ($3.10) will be right on his hammer,” said Read. “Besides the perfect run, his current form and fitness easily sets the benchmark for this race.” Read more of this article »

The favourites for the Richmond coaching job have been dropping like flies leaving the betting markets up in the air on who will get the top job.
First it was hot favourite Kevin Sheedy who on July 2nd declared he was the man to turn the Tigers around and had the backing of SEN radio broadcaster and long time Tiger great Kevin Bartlett. Then nine days later he put his hand down after long meetings with club officials saying that the club was bigger than an individual.
I think there was mixed emotions in the Richmond camp about the potential of Sheedy taking the helm. Richmond president Gary March said on the Footy Show that Sheedy wouldn’t get the job as long as he is President. Not much encouragement for other coaches looking for the job. Kevin goes down as one of the most decorated player/coaches around. Read more of this article »

Were starting to come into the business end of the home and away season and there are a few important games in round sixteen that could shape the top 4 at the end of the season. The St Kilda V Adelaide game will be a big test for both teams, a win for Adelaide will secure a top four position. The Collingwood V Hawks will be an interesting one as well. Can the Hawks keep the winning feeling going at the MCG or will the Pies finish all what is left for the Hawks to make the finals this year?
