Get In The Game - with Nigel Ridgway of bet365 *US Edition*
Nissan Open golf
*************
The west coast swing moves northwards from San Diego to Los Angeles to the famous Riviera Country Club. After last week’s emotional win for John Daly, his first on the PGA Tour for nearly 9 years, it will be interesting to see how his celebrations will have affected his game. Tiger will be happy with his solid performance last week, and will be looking to conquer a course he has played well, but never won on. First time career winners have made the Nissan Open their coming out party in recent years. While Fred Couples has had eleven top ten finishes in his 21 years at the event, last year he was one of five players (in the 40 and over age bracket) who finished in the top ten. A course, which favours experienced shot makers and strategists, we should perhaps look for an older player for this week!
Bet IN-RUNNING throughout (subject to TV coverage), including Outright winner and ‘Next Hole’ betting.
Kentucky Derby
************
A $30,000 wager on the mutual field in the early minutes of betting opening in Pool 1 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager enlivened the market. The wager covers all Thoroughbreds bar the twenty-three individual horses listed among the Pool’s twenty-four wagering interests. On the racing front Read the Footnotes won the Fountain of Youth (Gr2) at Gulfstream Park on Saturday, making it three wins in a row. He is now a 14/1 chance with bet365. On Sunday Gradepoint also made it three wins in a row with his first stakes win in the Risen Star (Gp3) race at the Fair Grounds. He is now a 33/1 shot with bet365

NASCAR
******
Dale Earnhardt Jr. finally won the race most dear to his heart, the Daytona 500, and emulated his late father’s win of 6 years previous. In fact it turned into a good week for Junior as not only winning the ‘big’ one, he picked up the Busch race and race 1 of the Gatorade 125’s as well. This week’s action moves northwards, as ‘the Rock’ is the venue in North Carolina. Matt Kenseth, last year’s Championship Title winner, will be looking at a good run from his new Ford at a track he seems to do well at.
