As seen on Twitter yesterday our racing man @wiggum7534 landed a nice play with Bereft in Sydney. Opening at around $3.50 and crunched into $2.30 it saluted the judge even with a questionable ride from K McEvoy.
We haven't had much action on the AFL this week. Our only play has been specking Richmond at the moneyline against Essendon at $2.60.
Hope you have been backing a winner!

Early Mail - Canterbury 29 June 2011
We have some Early Mail for Canterbury racing tomorrow.
Canterbury
Race 1
Gliding
The daughter of Flying Spur has drawn a tough barrier but should be a good each-way bet.

NCAA Football Futures
The internet news wires were buzzing that former NC State QB Russell Wilson would transfer to the Wisconsin Badgers this morning.
Wilson played 3 seasons with the Wolfpack and completed 308 of 527 pass attempts for 3563 yards. He also had solid TD/Int ratio with 28 Td's and 14 Int.
The Badgers who finished last season with a 10-2 record (Ranked 7th) were again in the hunt for the Big 10 title this year.
With that knowledge AussieSportsGuys took the $41 available in the anticipation that Wilson would commit to challenging for the starting role over the coming months.
News broke shortly after that Wilson would not play any further part in the 2011 baseball season (He was drafted by the Colorado Rockies) and would focus on being the number one man for Wisconsin in the hope of being drafted into the NFL.
Wisconsin has a favourable schedule and host Nebraska on 1 October 2010 in a game that could enter either team into the discussion of who will fight it out for the 2011/12 BSC National Championship.
Wisconsin are now around $29

A View From The Track - 24 June 2011
As seen earlier this week AussieSportsGuys is all over Beaded in the Tatt's Tiara at Eagle Farm this weekend.
We took the fixed odds on opening and the money has keep coming with it now as short as $1.95.
If you follow our guy @wiggum7534 on Twitter you would have seen his push for Essington yesterday at Rockhampton and another special today in Squamosa.
We tread carefully when backing the hot pots but you should be in the queue ready to collect.

Football Futures (Wiggum7534)
Did you realise it is less than a week until the first qualifying round of the Champions’ League commences? Incredible.
With that, I raise a few points for consideration heading into the new season (with a multi for good measure).
Scottish Premier League
Rangers won their third straight SPL title last May in one of the most incredible seasons of Scottish football. Walter Smith has retired as Rangers manager, paving the way for ‘Gers legend Ally McCoist. However, given McCoist’s inexperience (though he has been Walter’s #2) I expect Celtic to comfortably win the SPL this coming season. Odds of $1.75 aren’t unreasonable as Celtic were desperately unlucky not to win it last season. I expect them to take advantage over the change at Rangers (including an ownership change which appears to have caused some unrest at the club). In addition, Celtic’s squad is far deeper than Rangers and seemingly have a higher budget to bring in new talent if needed.
Spanish La Liga
Barcelona are, without doubt, the best team in the world. There is no argument. However, their recently publicised debt (some 450 million Euros) has caused some concern within the club at their ability to hang onto some of their stars. Despite this, they are still $1.52 favourites to win La Liga again.
Their only real opposition, again, will be Real Madrid ($2.50). Real came close last year but were unable to match Barca’s brilliant consistency. They did, however, provide for some of the greatest El Classico’s of all-time. If Real are going to win La Liga…nup, they can’t do it.
Italian Serie A
AC Milan won their 18th Serie A title last season, their first since 2003-04. They did so mainly by being one of very few teams not to self-destruct over the course of the year. At $2.25 they are decent odds to repeat as champions. However, I favour Inter Milan ($2.30).
Inter started last season having appointed new coach Rafa Benitez. While it was obvious early that Benitez offered a very exciting attacking style of football (not seen in Serie A since the late 80s), they did not achieve great results which upset fans and many of the players. Benitez was sacked in December and, on Christmas Eve, former Milan manager and favourite Leonardo took over. Leonardo’s impact was immediate as Inter rolled off 4 wins in a row. Under Leonardo, Inter’s record was a league best 17 wins, 2 draws, 4 losses.
I am convinced he will continue to have the impact he has had, and Inter will prevail as champions.
German Bundesliga
Am taking Borussia Dortmund to repeat as champions and odds of $5.50 is juicy. While Bayern ($1.60) will be at full strength (and with a new manager who will surely get the best out of them), I do not treat Dortmund’s win last season as a fluke. They are a very young side (their oldest regular squad member is 27) with oodles of talent. The $5.50 on offer is way overs, while Bayern’s odds are way unders.
English Premier League
Have taken the slightly left field selection here of Liverpool. $12 is big odds and Liverpool did have the best record in the EPL since the first of January (coincidentally with Kenny Dalglish took over as manager). While it is obviously a very big ask to have them overhaul Manchester United or Chelsea (the other two I figure to fight it out), Kenny has all of the players and fans believing he can do this. The return of Steven Gerrard, continually injured, will be a monsterous boost to the lads from Merseyside. Liverpool have promised much for the last 10 years and haven’t really delivered (though a Champions League Cup and UEFA Cup are nothing to be sneezed at!). Perhaps that’s why odds of $12 are floating about.
Still, I say this is overs and worth the plunge!
If you were to multi all of these selections, you would end up with juicy odds of just over $400 for $1 bet. #geton

AFL Against the Spread Round 13
Another round and the gap between top and bottom increases. Carlton comfortably accounted for Sydney on the weekend who most are tipping will be just outside the top four at the end of the year.
Geelong and Hawthorn also covered. Geelong are a remarkable 10-2 ATS.
After going 6-1 over the last two rounds AussieSportsGuys are certainly enjoying the downtime until the return of NCAA Football and Basketball.
Below is the ladder after Round 13 with each team ATS.
