A Great weekend of racing ahead with the Breeders Cup from Santa Anita where the European horses battle it out Stateside.
We have the Racing Post Trophy taking centre stage at Doncaster while the jump season starts in earnest at Aintree.
Breeders Cup
We start our weekend preview with the Breeders Cup at Santa Anita where it’s now contested over two days.
We start off with the Breeders Cup Fillies and Mares Sprint on Friday and the improving VENTURA looks a good bet in this one at 11/2.
In the Ladies Classic we have a red-hot favourite in Zenyatta at 1/2 on but watch out for Godolphin’s COCOA BEACH who might just cause an upset.
On to Saturday and we start with our European nap. We have opted for the Aidan O’Brien-trained WESTPHALIA in the Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf and although he got a bad draw he still has the class to win this and now trades around 7 /2.
In the Breeders Cup Marathon, Sixties Icon carries European hopes but watch out for ZAPPA who will take some stopping.
Side with Well Armed in the Dirt Mile while Square Eddie will take all the beating in the Juvenile.
We think ex-Brian Meehan-trained RED ROCKS will rock a few boats in the Breeders Cup Turf but don’t rule out Soldier of Fortune.
On to the big one, the Breeders Cup Classic, and can the mighty Curlin deliver yet again? I think so, but expect him to be tested by the top Europeans – Duke of Marmalade, Henrythenavigator and Ravens Pass.
Racing Post Trophy
Back across the Atlantic and to Doncaster where we have the Racing Post at 3.35 on Saturday afternoon and what a wide-open affair we have for this Group One.
The Mark Johnstone-trained Jukebox Jury leads the betting at 9/2 and if he reproduces the Juddmonte Royal Lodge Stakes form last time out it’s simple – he will do the business on Saturday afternoon.
Our danger to him is the Brian Meehan-trained Crowded House who ran an absolute cracker in the Tattersalls Timeform Million and the 12/1 on offer looks outstanding each-way value.
Old Roan Chase
The jump season is well and truly started and we have the Old Roan Chase where Oslot will take some beating with Ashley Brook a live outsider.

AND THOSE WEEKEND SOCCER SELECTIONS
It was bound to happen sooner or later and at last we handed out our first big return of the season when our FIVE-HIT came in at 20/1 to give our loyal readers and bloggers a bit of a windfall.
It didn't stop there, oh no. We also handed out another 11/1 double in our XXX – so at last a fruitfill week for the Guide, let’s hope it's the start of a purple patch.
Punters GUIDE XXX
We start this week with our draw treble and begin with the biggest match of the weekend which takes place at Stamford Bridge on Sunday (1.30pm) when second-placed Liverpool take on leaders CHELSEA.
Both teams lead the way on 20 points and they look as strong as each other. To be honest, I thought Chelsea would struggle a little bit after losing Michael Essien and Didier Drogba but not only have they coped without the duo, they are playing better. They are worthy leaders at the moment and will take some stopping this season.
Liverpool have made a fantastic start and, crucially, they are winning the games they should be winning and not dropping stupid points.
Sunday’s game looks a tight one on paper and we are taking the draw at 13/5, starting off this week’s XXX.
Staying in the Premiership and staying with the football on Sunday, and Aston Villa travel to gutsy Wigan. This one has draw written all over it at 11/5.
CRYSTAL PALACE are another hard-to-beat side and they should take at least a point away at BLACKPOOL on Saturday, the 12/5 looks too good to turn down.
Remember those doubles and treble – it pays off to perm it!
Punters GUIDE QUAD
The PG Quad as usual starts with our weekend banker and we have opted for SUNDERLAND (5/4) to take all points in their derby game at home to suffering Newcastle.
We expect SHEFFIELD UTD (1/1) to bounce back from last week’s derby defeat to Wednesday and claim three points at home to Preston, while READING (1/1) look a solid bet at home to QPR.
Making the quad up are NORWICH (1/1) who should regain the winning touch at home to Doncaster.
Punters GUIDE FIVE-HIT
LEEDS (8/13) start off the week’s odds-on Five-Hit and they should be too strong for out-of sorts Walsall.
PETERBOROUGH (4/5) are in good form and three points beckon at home to Huddersfield. In the SPL KILMARNOCK (5/6) look too hot for Falkirk. ST JOHNSTONE (5/6) should take all points at home to Partick. We have to wait until Sunday for our last selection and ARSENAL (8/13) should win at West Ham.
Weekend bet.....
SUNDERLAND 6/5
BLACKBURN Evs
CHELSEA 10/11
READING (draw) 5/2

Boll Beg (a.k.a Raffo)
Pity you didn't take my £50 bet then you shite ball!!
Garcia will finish above Rose!!
Liam
Liam,why would i take your £50 when i got 5 shots up in sean grahams plus with your reputation you would not pay,if i remember right you have welched on a few bets before.Top six will do me for Rose as i have £25 each way at 22's but hope Garcia does not win.Hate favourite backers!
Raffo
Liam,i have won more money than you will ever earn you tool.
You are a penny gambler,the one that the bookie hates.Tramps in the street gamble more than you.I thought all the jews were in jerusalem or 3 point lane but obviously not big nose.
Raffo
I think Liam(MR CHIPS) has an extra large curry chip on his shoulder,not just a single chip.
What an agressive arse he is!
Joe McCaff
Double your stake money for the weekends football bet by hitting the Tranmere - Crewe game for over 2.5 goals, available at around evens online.
Liam(Mr Chips),see rose is one ahead of garcia at present.
early days,although that 5 shot head start bookies were giving looks a nice wee investment for yours truely
raffo
Liam,how did your beloved Spurs go last night?
K.S
Raffo (Boll Beg)
Yeah, he's one shot ahead of him after playing 16 more hole sthan him you knob end!!
K.S
How did Spurs do last night? You have internet access don't you!!??
Liam
Mr Chips,just checked there.The bottom team in the premiership lost again last night!
Does not surprise me really , they are a selling club who finished bottom half of league last year then sold their only 2 good players this season.WHAT A DISGRACE THEY ARE!
K.S
Raffo (the real golf fan that knows FA about it)

Bulroot

Liam

Wouldn't touch Blazing Beacon, especially now that you tipped it. CHARGEN is the one to be on in that race.
Liam
Sergio Garcia -8 after 13 holes, 4 off the lead!!
Very quiet Boll Brg Raffo!!
Liam

Garcia now -9 after 15 holes!!!!
Liam
Liam,thats why he is favourite.
Are you hook backing again and backing favourites?Would not surprise me you did not back him.You do a lot of bulshitting on this blog from what i read.
I thought someone so favourite would be leading by now.
davy mcpeake

james

Liam's boyfriend
Senor Sergio Garcia joint leader at -11!!!
Mr Rose a poor tied 20th!!
Raffo, now I see why you bottled it from that £50 bet!!!!!
Liam
Castello Masters outright betting after round 2....
Garcia 5/4 fav
Rose 33/1
Prices from Paddy Power
The 7/1 I took is looking really tasty, even though you mugs don't back fav's even if you fancy them!! Planks!!
The way you boys bet you'll be backing West Ham, Everton, Sheff Wed and Southampton cuz you mugs don't back fav's!!
I'll tell you what Raffo, if Garcia wins I net myself £160 so I'll refund your £50 that you wasted on Justin Rose!! Hopefully in future then you will take my advice and stop talking crap!!
Liam
Barnsey
You're another muppet like Raffo. Reading drew 0-0 with QPR at 5/2!!!
Liam
Sergio comfortably wins the Costello Masters finishing -20, an embarassing 14 shots in front of Raffo's (the golf expert) tip Justin Rose.
So 'Mr. Expert' that's 2 golf tips you've given and when I have tipped someone in the same competitions and you claim that they have no chance and I'm talking shit what happens, my boys do the business and you are left skint, AGAIN!! It is funny though!!
Stick your address down and I'll send you a cheque for the £50 that you wasted on Justin Rose cuz I feel sorry for wee boys like you.
Liam
liam you backed a favourite in the golf you wanker.big deal???? ..get over it.
as for spurs,they are the laughing stock of english football you waste of space!thay play arsenal then liverpool next,lets see how they go against half decent teams?£160 million on players in 1 and a half years and redknapp the money grabbing bastard now joins them.what a joke like you!
what a prick you are
joe flynn
garcia favourite?
so what.. you backed a favourite
micky ginge
Ha, Ha you mugs!! I had £20 on a winning fav and Raffo (the real golf fan) had £25 each-way on a loser yet I'm the wanker?? Are you's all banging each other or what???
Raffo, I feel sorry for you son, do you want this £50 or not cuz times are very hard for shit gamblers like yourself during this credit crunch??
I'm off to a real betting blog where people taking sense about betting instead of this shite were it's like talking to fucking 5 year olds!!
