Weekend Betting Highlights
A great month begins with two of the great British Summer sporting events this weekend: the Men's and Women's singles finals from Wimbledon and the British Grand Prix from Silverstone. The Williams sisters have dominated the Ladies event and it’s little surprise that they have both reached the final again. Serena is currently 4/5 and Venus is evens. Roger Federer is the 8/11 favourite to surpass the record of the great Bjorn Borg and win his sixth successive SW19 title.
It has been a great couple of weeks for Spanish sport with the country's football team winning universal acclaim for their Euro 2008 triumph. Nadal has a great chance of landing Wimbledon but what about the Spanish landing the British Grand Prix? This time last year McLaren's Fernando Alonso started favourite for Silverstone but following his much publicised season-long spat with Lewis Hamilton the Renault driver is likely to be long odds for more Spanish glory.
It will be interesting to see how Lewis Hamilton reacts to the first serious criticism he has had in his career following his pit lane shunt of Kimi Raikkonen in Canada last month. The honeymoon period is over for Hamilton and he knows he must deliver in front of his home fans. Check betdirect.com from 15:45 today for all your up to the minute prices on the British Grand Prix.
The Coral Eclipse is the big race of the weekend with Aidan O'Brien looking for yet another British Group1 triumph. It really would be embarrassing if he landed this prestigious prize with Mount Nelson as the lightly-raced four-year-old is hardly in the Premier division of Ballymore bloodstock but the worrying thing is that still might be good enough to land the prize!! Duke Of Marmalade is being targeted at the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes at the end of the month and is now 11/10 for his fourth successive Group 1 success. Check betdirect.com for all your antepost and weekend horseracing bets.
Having readily disposed of New Zealand in the three Test series earlier in the summer England face a much sterner test when they entertain South Africa beginning at Lords next Thursday. The hosts are 13/8 to land the four-test series with the draw at 7/2 and South Africa at Even money. With vital matches in the Friends Provident Trophy, Twenty/20 and County Championship check betdirect.com for all your international and domestic cricket odds.
The Open Golf Championship which begins at Royal Birkdale on the Lancashire coast on the 17th July is the premier golf tournament in the world. Some will argue the tournament is devalued as a result of the withdrawal through injury of the World Number 1 Tiger Woods but you tell that to the player who picks up the Claret Jug on Sunday 20th! Europeans are to the fore in the betting lists with Sergio Garcia 10/1, holder Padraig Harrington 14/1, Lee Westwood 14/1 and Justin Rose 16/1. Ernie Els heads the lists at 11/1 but World Number 2 Phil Mickleson (16/1) will never have a better chance of breaking his Open Championship hoodoo. Many will be prepared to give Leftie the benefit of the doubt...will you?
