Point: The Country Breakfast- Woo-wee do you have a hard day on the farm ahead of you! Already you’ve cleaned out the hen house and fed the pigs, but now that the sun is up you have plenty of other chores to take care of - like milking the cows and chopping some fire wood.
George Riley’s record in recent weeks shows that fortune favours the brave. This weekend, as our rugby league expert uses his nous to see through “ridiculous” prices on both sides of the Pennines, will you follow his tips for a Bank Holiday profit? Last week’s headline read “Huddersfield are massively under-priced so get opposing them.” Those punters who took the steer from this column will feel pretty pleased with themselves as Salford obliged with a thoroughly deserved win to make a mockery of the odds at which the Giants were trading
Darrell Williams is looking forward to Saturday’s third round of qualifying where such star names as Ninja Jamie, Shelbourne Aston and Fear Zafonic will all be in action. Saturday’s 3rd round of the Blue Square Greyhound Derby is one of the most exciting of the competition as for the first time it offers the chance to see all the runners in action on the same night
*Editor’s note: Mitch the Intern is an NYU undergrad whose favorite Wednesday night pastime includes the TV in his dorm room, a green beanbag chair and two hits of acid. Enjoy.* Like a Steven Soderbergh film, this episode is layered with scenes and montages of only tangential relevance to the TUF premise of aspiring fighters locked away in a house and competing for a UFC contract.
Wayne Bailey looks ahead to Saturday’s big race where Paco Boy will attempt to silence the doubters once and for all… Despite winning the Bet365 mile at Sandown , there are still those that doubt Paco Boy’s ability to perform at the top level, and by the sounds of it, Richard Hannon is getting sick and tired of hearing negative comments about his colt: “Every time people talk about Paco, they keep moving the goalposts…First they said he didn’t stay a mile, now they are saying he won’t win a Group One over a mile. He doesn’t get the credit he deserves.” But it seems that backers are finally getting the message and at the time of writing, they’ve pushed his price into [2.5] on the machine.

Frank Gregan has been travelling around the Iberian Peninsula and found to his amazement how meeting different people from different places who support different teams can provide such different interpretations of a football match, in this case last week’s controvesial Chelsea v Barcelona. I’ve been gadding around a bit these last couple of weeks and having watched Barcelona destroy Real Madrid in a local bar in Spain frequented by a multitude of Barcelona fans I decided to watch the Chelsea/Barcelona game in the same place just to experience a different feel for the game. The place was jammed packed before kick off and the atmosphere was electric.
Preston may have missed the boat after conceding a lead at Deepdale so it’s very much advantage Sheffield United. But this is the play-offs and holding your nerve is the name of the game, says Richard Walker. Best bet: Lay The Draw @ [4.2]
A source with direct knowledge of the situation informs WatchDog that Anna Benson has had early discussions with VH1 about a potential reality series. (I originally broke the news on Twitter, then remembered I work for Newsday, not Twitter.) Face it: They just don’t make New York baseball wives like Anna anymore.
Word is that Barney Frank (D-MA), the Chair of the House Financial Services Committee, is very close to reintroducing legislation — any day now, apparently — designed to counter the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006. What’re we supposed to think about that?
