Used to tip professionally in the early 2000's, now doing it just for fun. I enjoy mostly horse racing (fav. horses include Kazzia, Goldikova, Bogart, Sky Lantern), football, tennis and US Sports. I like writing anything from a novel to a couple of poems and songs. Multitasking in writing is the best supplier when you get that inspiration rush!

The Frenchman scored in two matches Leverkusen played up until December. One of them he scored the first goal. He got an assist from Arthur that day at home vs Cologne and it could happen again today.

Rafael scored the first goal two matches back for Macarthur. The home side is undefeated in their last five matches, whereas Sydney FC lost two within that span. The Mexican is an important player up front for the home side, standing just below Sydney in the top three.

An undefeated filly who won even at about this level and higher in her last race prior to a break this past autumn. Umberto Rispoli is tasked for the first time aboard to complete a 4-timer.

20:00 Arsenal v Liverpool

Arsenal

50 WIN

@1.57

Lose

-50

Arsenal has won seven games in a row in all competitions, and they are top favorites to remain at the top of the league and even win it. Players like Gyökeres, who is like a goal-scoring machine, help their ambitions up front. Saka is returning to the lineup as well. Liverpool is bound to have a dip like earlier in the season.

Finished second back in November. Now will be ridden by an experienced Turfway Park rider. Drops down in class a bit and has a chance here in this lineup, which appears to be tight and competitive. The trainer has just one win here at the Park, so more are due in time.

There and thereabouts in the places, just the sole win last September ridden by another jockey. Should have plenty to show, as he remains a competitive individual now, with a 2nd to show here in one run last December.

Beschizza saddling and he's got a good win for a horse earlier in the month I fancied. Nyquist filly who's sort of newer on the scene than most. Has a win over 6 furlongs at another track at lower level.

19:30 Brentford v Sunderland

Sunderland

50 WIN

@4.50

Lose

-50

Sunderland is on the slide, but they keep scoring. Brentford has been putting up decent results of late: a win here, a draw there, another win in their last four games. Sunderland still have a chance for a European place this year and are not a bad team.

19:30 Everton v Wolverhampton

Wolverhampton

50 WIN

@5.20

Lose

-50

At one point this decade Wolves won three times in a row on the road at Goodison Park. Now that visitors got their first win, this could hit Everton like a train. Everton lost at home to Brentford two days ago.

@2.38

Win

Forest is a team in need of some good luck. They are getting this luck from other teams around them, but they need to step it up and beat the team that is four points below them in the relegation places.

Blue Cheese Olive

50 WIN

@1.83

Win

It would be a tall order for the 7-year-old after a break, though he has been thereabouts without winning. His last win was back in January 2024. He did not deliver for Steve Knapp while at his stable, but he has a chance now debuting for another stable and at a lower level.

17:30 5:30 Wolverhampton

Alba Gu Brath

Odds-on, but two runner-up spots, including at Newcastle the latest in December. Calum Shepherd aboard first time, which will be the third jockey in as many races.

Vitalline

50 WIN

@4.50

Previous winner off a mark of 50 under Josephine Gordon, at another track and a 3rd of 11 here at Wolverhampton once. Remains competitive and wouldn't be a shock if it popped up again at the present mark of 49.

Been here at the Park and won before. 8-year-old now but could be competitive in this field. Good jockey aboard in Valenzuela.

Jockey Jamie Torres has a couple of wins on the card. This runner is down 2 at the handicap mark, finished 4th of 10 last time out here at Oaklawn over 2 furlongs shorter. Could be competitive with Worres aboard for the places.

Woodstock

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@2.87

Lose

-50

It's rare to capture a hat-trick on the card by jockey Arrieta, but it could happen tonight. His ride is a filly who competed at a much higher level in the last two races. A major drop from $30k Grand three outings ago, which the filly won with another jockey on board. A couple have won from the outside berth today, so this race could be tight and competitive.

15:00 Everton v Brentford

Everton

50 WIN

@2.50

Lose

-50

Everton has been the more dominant side in this matchup over the years. Brentford beat two lower-ranked teams on the road all season, so Everton may squeeze this by a goal or two.

15:00 Middlesbrough v Southampton

Middlesbrough

50 WIN

@2.18

Win

Southampton's last away win was back in November, and currently their overall form shows draws and losses. Boro lost two in a row, and their last H2H meetings with the Saints ended in 1-1 draws. One team could nick it either way. Backing Boro to get back to winning ways would put pressure on second-placed Ipswich in the table.

15:00 Tottenham v Sunderland

Sunderland

50 WIN

@4.75

Lose

-50

Sunderland drew with Man City on New Year's Day, and they're a solid outfit ranked higher in the table. Brennan Johnson was traded to Palace from Spurs, and Spurs came out of two losses in a row to win against Palace and draw 0-0 with Brentford in their last match. Sunderland have firepower, and even away, an upset could happen.

Eliezer Mayenda

First Goalscorer

50 WIN

@11.00

Lose

-50

Not many have enjoyed Sunderland's scoring feast, but Meyenfa is a prolific goalscorer. He's always given the ball up front and is a provider as well.

12:00 QPR v Sheff Wed

QPR

50 WIN

@1.44

Win

Will be tough for Wednesday to get anything at QPR. The home side were winning four in a row at their stadium until Norwich showed up, so it would be fair to say they could win this and get closer to the playoffs.

01:25 01:25 Turfway Park

Hometown Bound

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@1.44

Win

A winner on debut in November of last year with the same jockey on board. The win was at a lower level and on sloppy dirt at Laurel Park, so expected to progress.

03 January 2026

17:30 Bournemouth v Arsenal

Arsenal

50 WIN

@1.53

Win

Bournemouth beat Arsenal home and away last season, and Kluivert was instrumental in at least one of those matches, both in scoring and assisting. This season, Bournemouth looks increasingly like a side fighting to stay up and may soon end up in the bottom three places in this league. Arsenal do have great scorers in attack. If they want to reverse last year's results, they'd have to position themselves as title contenders rather than relegation contenders.

17:10 17:10 Aqueduct

Rose Lisa

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@3.00

Win

100

Rose Lisa finished runner-up in her previous race at this track and trip. She might have something to say today with some progression in this lineup, and Flavien Prat is tasked with bringing her home first.

17:00 Juventus v Lecce

Juventus

50 WIN

@1.29

Lose

-50

Juventus has a chance to go for their fourth straight win and climb up the table. Lecce has shown L-W-L-W recently but are getting closer to the relegation places each week.

15:00 Brighton v Burnley

Brighton

50 WIN

@1.48

Win

Brighton last won vs Burnley in front of their fans back in 2018. Burnley is struggling this season, while Brighton's last five matches have left them winless. Today could be a turnaround for Brighton.

15:00 Southend v Truro City

Southend

50 WIN

@1.35

Void

Southend heads into this after two wins in a row. Truro is in the relegation places, though fighting. The home side needs more wins to consolidate or build on their place in the play-offs, so the home crowd could enjoy the home team supplying the goods.

15:00 Wolverhampton v West Ham

Wolverhampton

50 WIN

@2.60

Win

This season Wolves are winless in the Premier League at home (never mind in all home or away matches). They did beat West Ham in the EFL Trophy and also have a win versus Everton in that competition. If Rob Edwards is serious about staying and managing Wolves, this is an opportunity to get the first win against fellow strugglers West Ham.

Toluwalase Arokodare

First Goalscorer

50 WIN

@7.00

Lose

-50

Arokodare is the striker up front for Wolves, and he did score a goal against Arsenal this season. Both teams are in need of points, yet Wolves are in need of a first Premier League victory, so they may strike first.

12:55 12:40 Lingfield

Maskatto

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@2.00

Win

Masar colt who finished second on an October visit over a furlong here at Southwell. Murphy aboard first time today and better expected now upped in trip.

12:30 Aston Villa v Nottm Forest

Nottm Forest

50 WIN

@4.60

Lose

-50

Not since 1994 has Forest beaten Villa away from home. The home side has been winning more of the H2H encounters through the years. Villa is a much stronger side, though Forest is in need of a win or some points. After the New Year break they could recapture some of their form, and a couple of players, like keeper Sels, may return from injuries.

Igor Jesus

First Goalscorer

50 WIN

@8.50

Lose

-50

Expected to figure in attack more often. He supplied the goal to Hutchinson in a recent match, so this time Omari may return the favour and Forest may strike first. He is the loan striker for Forest.

11:40 11:40 Lingfield

Addarella

Daily Racing

25 EW

@8.50

Lose

-50

A winner two outings ago with Ghiani on board for Marco Botti. Has a 2nd here last year, lost by half a length. Going up at the handicap mark, though a consistent filly more often than not.

06:00 Brisbane Roar v Wellington Phoenix

Justin Vidic

First Goalscorer

50 WIN

@6.00

Lose

-50

Everything is slowly but surely going for the Roar, and one of the players up front, who is still young at 21 years of age, is performing at a top level. He has just 3 goals for the season, so he could easily get more. Wellington is down the table, so this would be a great opportunity for the youngster to net another one.

03:02 03:02 Charles Town

Professor Grace

Daily Racing

25 EW

@8.00

Win

A filly who won last time out for the first time. Although the level was lower, she could have benefited from the move to the powerful Farrior yard. She was then transferred to the Michael Sandoval stable, a yard who last won at this track a little over two weeks ago, so she may give a good account for the double. Tentative selection.
