2025/26 Footy Season Preview
I'm back, with my annual kickball preview that is as deserving of being digital chip paper as anything penned on these virtual pages. I sort of know a bit about racing, though it may not radiate from every stanza scribbled or every suggestion sunk; my grasp of the football form book is more tenuous - […]

Glorious Goodwood 2026: Draw and Run Style Bias The 2026 renewal of the prestigious Qatar 'Glorious' Goodwood Festival on the rolling Sussex Downs begins today.

Royal Ascot Tix Picks 2025, Day 3
This week, as part of our Royal Ascot content, I'm making a suggested placepot permutation each day. It started well on Tuesday: although the perm only caught 2% of the dividend, that was enough to return £58.11 from a £24.96 stake, including 5% Tix bonus. That's a profit of £33.15. It got better yesterday: a […]

Royal Ascot Tix Picks, Day 1
This week, as part of our Royal Ascot content, I'll be making a suggested placepot permutation each day.

[It is excellent […]
