S a t u r d a y A y r 3.20
By popular demand the race I am looking at here today for
the free blog is the Ayr Gold Cup.
I feel I have something a bit stronger in the 3.55 at Ayr
but that is for full members of my paid service.
Quite rightly they moan if […]
The two Manchester sides produced two more polished and efficient performances and William Hill are offering odds on how many the pair will score between them next weekend and make go odds-on at 4/6 that between them they score less than five. With both sides maintaining a 100% record, Hills make Manchester City 4/7 to lose first of the two, with United 5/4 to do so. Hills offer 100/1 that both sides end the season undefeated. Wayne Rooney scored his second consecutive hat-trick against Bolton and Hills offer 33/1 that he completes a hat-trick of hat-tricks against Chelsea next week.
Manchester United are 1/2 to end the season having scored more goals than their noisy neighbours who are 6/4 to do so. United are 11/10 to win the league with Manchester City 15/8. Chelsea are 9/2.
United and City are beginning to pull away from their nearest challengers and the clinical way in which both sides are going about their business indicates that any side that comes up against the two powerhouses from Manchester will be turned over with consummate ease, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. Our punters are going Manchester Mad this season.
A side at the other end of the table, Swansea, are still to score in the Premier League but Hills think they will break their duck against West Brom next week at 1/3, with the Chelsea game 10/3. They are 5/1 to score their first goal against Stoke and 16/1 that they do not score in either of those games.

Read moreWith astonishing claims suggesting that the FA are drawing up plans to oust Fabio Capello before the Euro Championships and replace him with Harry Redknapp, Hills have slashed the odds on the Spurs boss being the man to replace the Italian when he does eventually step down. He is 8/11 to be the next England boss, with Martin ONeill his closest contender at 8/1 for the job.
The reports on Sunday morning were pretty sensational and it would appear that when Capello does go, whether before or after the Euros, Harry Redknapp has been earmarked as the successor, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
Wayne Rooney bagged his second hat-trick of the season on Saturday and William Hill offer 5/4 that those are his only two. He is 9/4 to get one more this season and 3/1 to get two more. He is 6/1 to net five or more trebles this season.
Next England Manager: 8/11 Harry Redknapp; 8/1 Martin ONeill; 11/1 Roy Hodgson; 12/1 Gareth Southgate; 16/1 Stuart Pearce; 16/1 Steve Bruce; 16/1 Jose Mourinho; 20/1 BAR
Who be will be England Manager at Euro 2012: 1/3 Capello; 9/4 Redknapp
How many hat-tricks will Wayne Rooney score this season (currently on 2): 5/4 two; 9/4 three; 3/1 four; 6/1 five or more

Blackburns failure to win at Craven Cottage means that they, along with hosts Fulham, remain as one of the five teams in the Premier League still to register a victory. Hills offer 23/10 that Blackburn are the last side in the division to get three points, while Fulham are 11/2 to do so. Swansea are the 21/10 favourites.
It will start to get worrying for those teams at the bottom if they go much longer without a victory and every week, the relegation odds for those sides involved get shorter and shorter, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
At the other end of the table, there are six sides who are yet to be beaten, and Manchester United are 6/5 to go the longest without defeat. Manchester City are 2/1 with Chelsea 9/2.
Last team to lose a Prem match 2011/12: 6/5 Manchester United; 2/1 Manchester City; 9/2 Chelsea; 8/1 Aston Villa; 9/1 Newcastle; 12/1 Stoke

Read moreFernando Torres was axed by Vincente Del Bosque for Spains victory midweek and Andre Villas-Boas has claimed he will not hesitate to drop the striker should his poor club form continue. Bookies, William Hill are offering odds on which will be the first game that he finds himself on the bench (or worse). He is 9/2 to miss Saturdays match against Sunderland and 11/2 to miss the match against Leverkusen midweek. Torres is 14/1 to fail to start any of the next three games.
Torres is certainly under pressure to start scoring, but the odds certainly indicate that he will be given a few more starts in order to find his form, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
Hills are also betting on how many Premiership goals Torres will get this season and make the favourite between six and 10 at 2/1. The days when Torres used to score 20 plus goals a season seem a long way away at the moment, but he is 8/1 to bag over 20 this season. He is 11/10 to get his first Premier League goal of the season against Sunderland and 7/2 that it comes against Manchester United.
Next Premier League Goal: 11/10 Sunderland; 7/2 Manchester United; 4/1 Swansea; 9/1 Bolton; 14/1 Everton; 4/1 None of these five fixtures
Total Premier League Starts: 10/11 21-30; 7/4 Over 30; 4/1 11-20; 12/1 under 10
Total Premier League Goals: 2/1 6-10; 11/4 0-5; 3/1 11-15; 9/2 16-20; 8/1 20+
To Start
Vs Sunderland: 1/8 yes; 9/2 no
Vs Leverkusen: 1/10 yes; 11/2 no
Vs Manchester United: 1/2 yes; 6/4 no
14/1 Start none of these matches

WILLIAM HILL are offering odds of 4/7 that David Beckham will play in the Premier League this season and 5/4 that he will not as reports suggest that he contact has been made between him and QPR – and Hills also offer 5/6 that he will play for QPR in the Prem this season, 5/6 that he will not. ‘It may well be that David Beckham would like one last hurrah in the Premier League before he retires, and reports suggest that he could do so for QPR, for whom it would be something of a coup.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Read moreEngland looked comfortable in victory against Bulgaria and William Hill think that Fabio Capello will keep faith in most of his starting XI – offering 5/4 that the same XI is used and Even money that 10 retain their places. Hills bet 7/2 that England score four and 4/1 they score five or more in the match against Wales at Wembley on Tuesday. They are 9/4 to match the three that they scored against Bulgaria and 7/1 to score no goals.
The England starting XI against Bulgaria looked comfortable and settled and there are many that think that too much tinkering by Capello could result in disrupting the harmony that was clearly in evidence on Friday, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
Rooneys brace against Bulgaria took him up to three goals in qualifying and level with Jermaine Defore. Rooney is now 4/5 favourite to end the qualifying campaign as Englands leading scorer, while Defoe is 11/4. Darren Bent is 4/1. Rooney is 12/1 to get a hat-trick in the game against Wales on Tuesday.
Hills offer 4/6 that England win the next two Euro 2012 qualifying games.

Wayne Rooney is 5/2 to follow up his brace against Bulgaria with two or more against Wales, and the Man U striker is now 4/5 favourite to top score for England in the qualifying competition. ‘Rooney is in a rich vein of form and England fans will be backing him heavily to score against Wales – while Welsh supporters may want to take the 6/5 that their defence can keep Rooney out all game’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

SCOTLAND PAY PENALTY NOW 50/1 TO QUALIFY INSTEAD OF 3/1
WILLIAM HILL make Scotland 50/1 outsiders to qualify for Euro 2012 after the stunning disappointment of conceding ‘the penalty that never was’ to the Czechs who were able to equalise as a result. ‘Had the penalty not been given and Scotland won the game 2-1 we’d have been quoting them at 3/1 to make it to the Euro 2012 finals, instead they are now 50/1 no-hopers because of the penalty that never was’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Looking a little further ahead Hills make Scotland 11/4 to qualify for the next World Cup, but 1/ 4 not to.
