A lot going on sporting wise this weekend, not least the final race of the Formula 1 Season that sees Lewis Hamilton 7 pts clear of Felipe Massa and a best priced 1/5 on with Sporting Bet to win the drivers championship.

There is also the ever so small matter of the one-off Stanford 20/20 for $20M cricket game out in Antigua. Resurgent England under new captain Kevin Peter Pietersen from Pietermaritzburg, South Africa (great middle name selection by the parents!) take on a medley of West Indian players masquerading as the Stanford Superstars for the winner takes all booty. Led by Chris Gayle, who perhaps is the one player England should fear the most. You can get 4/5 with Skybet on KP's boys and 11/10 with Paddy Power on their opponents.

In England's last warm-up game, Samit Patel was pushed up the order to number 3 with instructions to swing his bat so the 16/1 from William Hill to be top English batsman looks an interesting bet to me. It's a low scoring pitch so a few big shots from Patel over cow corner might be all it needs for this to come in. Paul Collingwood also will be a key player batting at 6 and was England's best bowler in the last game, taking 2-11 from 4 overs. Might he offer good value at 16/1 to be man of the match with Blue Square.

Whatever happens it should be a cracking game to watch and with the players complaining about poor lighting at the ground, could we see a player literally drop a $20million dollar catch? Sky Sports 1 Saturday night for all you in-play gamblers!

Scooting under the radar of most people is the Rugby League world cup out in sunny Sydney with the hosts Australia taking on England on Sunday. If your feeling patriotic you can back the Poms at a best priced 11/2 with Paddy Power. I don't know what it is about me but I love watching England take on the Aussies, whatever sport it maybe!

3. Tipping Legends Column

The Tipping Legends are 2 horse racing specialists who both have an in-depth knowledge of the sport and will be supplying a full rundown of some of the weekend's feature races and betting angles. These guys know their stuff when it comes to racing, ignore at your peril.

Welcome to our first weekly racing column through which we shall attempt to keep you informed on all aspects of racing, covering jockeys, trainers, course & horses and even racing politics! It will hopefully be informative, but at the same time light hearted and above all fun!

As feature races come along, we will also try and point you in the right direction, without giving away all of our secrets.
 
We would like to introduce a Question and Answer section, where we try and deal with reader's questions. So please e-mail in your questions, an example of one perhaps could be:-
 
Blinkers, Visor, Cheek Pieces & Tongue Ties....What are they? And what do they do?
 
Well, blinkers are cups that fit over the horses head and cover the eyes and therefore restrict vision from 180% to about 30%. This means the horse can only look ahead and is therefore more likely to concentrate. The use of blinkers often indicates that the horse is unreliable but many horses have been transformed by the fitting of them particularly when worn for the first time.
Visors do a similar job to blinkers but the eye cups have slits in them so the horse can see horses racing alongside.
Cheek pieces do the same job as a visor, and are fitted each side of the bridle.
A Tongue Tie is a strap that ties the tongue down to prevent the horse swallowing it and restricting its breathing.
 
What can we learn as punters?  Firstly, horses that wear headgear can be unreliable and inconsistent. Secondly the fitting of headgear for the first time can produce dramatic improvement.
 
That's all for this week but check back next Friday for our 2nd column and keep the questions coming!
