Sky Dogs

It's the final of the All England Cup this evening at Newcastle, all the action is live on Sky Sports 3 from 7:30 pm.

It's a tough looking card but I'll go for these two hounds which I think represent a bit of value -

19:40 T3 Munster Champ 15/2 (Skybet)
21:25 T3 Barbies Man 7/2 (Skybet)

I'll be cheering on Ardkill Tunoco in the big race having backed him at 12/1 antepost, good luck to connections.

Have taken the Cards (+2.5), Colts (-7.5) and Pats (-10.5), will probably back the Saints later barring any key injuries.

The Breeders Cup starts this evening with all the action live on At The Races.

Anyone fancying a bet should have a listen to the interview with Nick Mordin on the Hills site here.

Nick is ever so slightly bonkers but he knows the score as far as this meeting goes and his advice should be noted.

The Yorkshire St Leger kicks off this evening with four heats and Droopys Zach (T4) looks worth siding with at 5/4 with Blue Square in the 20:36. Trainer Mark Wallis thinks the galloping Doncaster circuit will suit his charge and he can get his campaign off to the best possible start with a win.

The All England Cup reaches the semi final stage at Newcastle this evening. In the second of those semi's, due off at 19:48, I like Julie Bateson's Target Classic (T2). He can go trap to line again and the 11/10 with Stan James won't be beaten.

... for now at least, LAY anything I tip up

Some good match-ups in week 8 and I'm looking forward to the Vikings/Packers game on Sky this evening.

From a betting point I fancy two favourites to cover in New Orleans (-10) and Detroit (-3). The latter bet will depend on the fitness of Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receiver Calvin Johnson.

For those looking for 'dogs to back then the Bronco's, Jags and Vikings are all worth a second look.

The All England Cup starts this evening at Newcastle with six first round heats.

Ardkill Tunoco goes in the opener at 18:56 and if back to his best after a lay off he's a steal at the 6/4 put up by Bet365.

Mark Wallis' cracking year continued with St Leger success on Tuesday and his Eye Onthe Flash is worth a look in heat 2 at 5/1 with Befred or Stan James.

I'm also going to have a little in the outright market on Ardkill Tunoco at 12/1 with various firms and Ginas Boy at 66/1 with Skybet.

Only time for a quick post, Jamie Moore to beat Ryan Rhodes inside the distance at 10/11 with Boylesports.

Not around much this weekend so am getting my NFL bets on earlier than usual.

This week I fancy a couple of minor upsets in the Vikings at 9/4 to win in Pittsburgh and the Falcons (9/5) to beat the Cowboys.
