I was waiting outside the hotel on the edge of Scunthorpe on a bitterly cold January day in 2011 waiting for a taxi to take me to the town’s football ground for a third-round FA Cup tie against Everton.

All the travelling fans had departed and I was standing alone when I heard the roar of a coach engine coming around the corner.

To my absolute delight I saw it was the Everton team coach.

Even in my 50’s I have all the instincts of a school-boy when it comes to my football heroes and as the coach ...

Two thrilling games this Sunday, Liverpool host Everton in the 2nd Merseyside Derby of the season. Liverpool, who are in fine form having recently won 6-0 at Newcastle last weekend, go into the match as favourites. With Coutinho, Sturridge and Henderson performing brilliantly in the absence of the suspended Luis Suarez, the Red’s are in a strong position to take the three vital points in their bid for European Football next season! Everton, will considering themselves to have a strong chance at Anfield with their consistent form throughout the season and a very impressive strike force. Jagielka and Distin ...

Newbury - 19th April

2.00

We start the flat season at Newbury with a very open maiden with a lot of nice types on breeding. In this race what stands out for me a mile is that Richard Hughes has gone with another yards horse in ROCK CHOIR considering Richard Hannon has a runner, but RUFOOF could be the biggest danger from a top yard.

I was a big follower of CRUCK RUELTA last year but over this distance his stamina could be stretched too far. I will oppose that one with CAP O RUSHES for Godolphin who ...

Meydan 30th March 2013

Long pub hours don’t lend well to studying the form, however for once this meeting falls on the bank holiday allowing me a few hours to have a look at the card, something I have not been able to do for about a year now.
This has always been a favourite meeting of mine and ...

The Barclays Premier League returns this weekend and kicks off with SAF’s Red Devils travelling to the Stadium of Light. United are looking to extend their lead at the top of the table over Manchester City who play later in the day. Van Persie’s goal drought appeared to end mid-week with a brace for Holland away in Romania. Manchester United are clear favourites and you’d be misinformed to look at a home win.

At the other end of the table, Wigan host Norwich in what could be pivotal in their fight for Premier League survival. Having found ...

Today marks the end of the Festival, with some amazing races ahead, including the coveted Gold Cup.

We start with the Triumph today where I think it will be very hard to see OUR CONNOR not winning - he has the strongest form in the card but think FAR WEST will push him all the way to the line.

This is a race where bookmakers are paying 5 places and I think last year's runner up in the triumph HISABAAT could run a huge race each way at 20/1. Another one for a place could ...

Day 3

After two shocking days as a punter for me but great to watch this festival as a spectacle. I'm back with a blog for day 3, taking you through the card :)

When I first looked at this race I thought DYNASTE would be my lay of the day but seeing as this is not a very strong renewal, I think it will take a lot of beating but it is not value at current ...

Day 2 :

After a brilliant first day for the punters (except me, after putting Hurricane Fly down as a big loser) how can we possibly top the thrills and spills of the first day?

We start the second day with a demanding test over four miles for amateur riders. In these sort of races, I think it pays to back the most experienced of the jockeys. In my eyes, is probably Mr Derek o'Connor rider of ...

This is the opening highlight of a cracking four days of Cheltenham. We start with the Supreme novices hurdle. I was hugely impressed with MY TENT OR YOURS last time out when bolting up in a huge handicap at Newbury hard held but at 6-4 looks very slim value. I have two horses which stand out for me in this race, one is an each way look into the race and that is CHELTENIAN who narrowly got denied on the jam stick after a very lengthy lay off and could run a huge race at 20/1. But ...
