Sport is made for betting

Take this with a grain of salt as I've had a few shockers with my last big UK racedays (with mates at Cheltenham and Epsom), but hopefully there'll be some info in here worth noting. QUEEN ANNE STAKES Great match race between Canford Cliffs and Goldikova, don't see anyone else upstaging them. Goldikova has been there done that so many times, why would you oppose her? 13 Group 1s amongst her 16 wins - wow.

More details on times available when acceptances come out tomorrow. The gallant Hay List will take her on again, and she'll whoosh past just like she did at Randwick. It's all been so exciting I've had to invest in a racehorse again, part of the exciting Twitterhorse syndicate with a 2yo colt called Trending. A...
