Ghanaati tops the odds in Coronation Stakes Betting

June 18, 2009

The Barry Hills trained filly, Ghanaati, heads the bookmakers odds for Friday’s feature at Royal Ascot, the Coronation Stakes. The winner of this year’s 1,000 Guineas is expected to build on her Newmarket victory in May and once again, is expected to take all the beating over the same distance of a mile at Ascot. As such the bookies are taking no chances and she is no bigger than 9/4 (Paddypower and Ladbrokes) to land the £154,000 first prize.

She does however come up against several rivals that didn’t run in the Guineas and could give her plenty to think about. One such Filly is the French Raider, Elusive Wave, who represents, trainer Jean Claude Rouget, who is currently bang in form at this level having trained three of the four classic winners in France this season, including Elusive Wave in the French 1,000 Guineas. The form of which was franked in tremendous style on Sunday when Tamazirte finished runner up to another Rouget Filly, Stacelite, who could be a potential superstar! Elusive Wave is currently 3/1 best price with Sportingbet and represents better value than Ghanaati.

Tiger the Favourite in Betting Odds to Roar to Victory in the 2009 US Open Golf

June 18, 2009

tiger-woods-waterTiger Woods is as short as 7/4 in the bookmakers odds to win his fourth US Open title and  a fifteenth golf major when he takes to the tee at Bethpage Black in the 2009 US Open.

His last major win came twelve months ago, again in the US Open, when he won despite his knee injury that saw he hang up his clubs for the remainder of 2008. However, Tiger is now back to full fitness and will be hoping to get back to winning ways on the biggest stage.

He returns to the course  where he won his second US Open title in 2002, the Bethpage Black Course at Bethpage State Park, New York State. When victorious in 2002, he was the only player to score under par in the tournament and with that in mind, he looks a sure fire bet to once again be in the running once again in 2009.  The course is considered to e one of the most exciting and difficult course of all the US Open venues used and following the drama of its last visit, it is expected to pose equally as many problems this year.

If you are planning to bet on the US Open at any stage over the weekend we recommend that you check out Paddypower’s odds, especially if you are betting each way as they are paying out a 1/4 of the odds on the top 6 players!
