A handful of the world’s top golfers head to Mexico this weekend for the 13 th edition of the Mayakaoba Golf Classic from Cancun. The El Camaleon Golf Club is a well-known Greg Norman design that calls for plenty of accuracy off the tee with rainforest, mangroves and ocean surrounding the fairways. The last three editions of this tournament have been decided by no more than a stroke, so be sure to read our entire 2020 Mayakoba Golf Classic Preview below to find out who we’re tipping! 2020 Mayakoba Golf Classic Best Bet Abraham Ancer – $19.00 Now this would be something special. Ancer has flirted with a win all year and is fresh from a superb T13 on debut at Augusta last month that reminded everybody why he is considered one of the brightest young stars on Tour. Better yet, this is also his home tournament, one that no Mexican player has even won before. He’s a certain star in the making, and with two Top 10 finishes at this event in his last three appearances, I’m keen to...

Wentworth Park - Race 3 6:48pm AEST No. 1 Ritza Rain Ritza Rain has won twice over the 400m at Bulli but will contest the 520m for the first time in this event. She has shown good early speed in her races and has won both her starts when jumping from the inside box. Bet Now: Wentworth Park Race 3 Wentworth Park - Race 6 7:47pm AEST No. 7 Derry Express Derry Express has been placed in 12 of his 15 career race starts and looks well placed in this race. Despite not winning in five attempts at this track and distance, he still holds the fastest time of any dog in this race here.

Ladbrokes Park will host eight talent-rich races on Wednesday, December 2 nd . The rail will be set out eight metres around the entire course and at publish, the track is rated a Good 4. Race 1 - 3:20pm AEDT Ladbrokes Switch Handicap (1600m) Yulong Premier has improved for three starts and is ready to break his maiden. The Pierro gelding raced greenly at each of his first two competitive starts, but ran home well to finish second at Benalla last time out. With further improvement from that effort and with Craig Williams in the saddle, he’ll be fighting out the finish again. 2 Units Yulong Premier Bet Now: Ladbrokes Park Race 1 Race 2 - 3:55pm AEDT IVE Print Handicap (1300m) Ord looks to be an above-average galloper and can break his maiden at Ladbrokes Park on Wednesday. The Written Tycoon gelding filled the minors behind Yes Sir at Wodonga on debut and raced home well to finish second at Geelong last time out. Fitter third-up, getting slightly further out in tri...

Race 1 - 1:13pm The Palms Festive Editions QTIS 3YO Handicap (1400) Expecting Petunia to take improvement away from her last start at Doomben where she made up a stack of ground from the rear of the field to run fourth. I thought she gave up a little too much ground in the early stages that day and was entitled to finish much closer to the winner Dusty Tycoon. The way she hit the line suggests she’ll handle the extra 200m just fine though and the fact Jim Byrne has retained the ride can only be seen as a positive. 2 Units Petunia Bet Now: Gold Coast Race 1 Race 2 - 1:48pm Festive Feast Book Online Maiden Plate (1400m) Betcha Baby is crying out for the 1400m now after finishing runner-up in back-to-back starts over the 1200m since debuting last month. The filly by Starspangledbanner gave chase a fortnight ago at this same venue but was simply too far back to catch all-the-way winner Noble War down the straight. There doesn’t appear to be a lot of speed in this race,...

Also on the same day, David Beckham left LA Galaxy on a high with his second MLS Cup winners medal with a 3-1 win over Houston Dynamo in Carson, California. It would be the final game of Becks six-season stint in the USA. 1956 – Golden Girls Blitz at Melbourne Olympics Da...

Hamilton - Race 2 1:00pm AEST No. 7 Longduan Longduan kick started her campaign with a sixth at Morphettville over 1000m where she was beaten only 1.8 lengths. The three year old filly by Written Tycoon was then beaten by that same margin last start at Dunkeld and is looking for the extra distance in this event.

The Australians have their eyes on a clean sweep in Canberra on Wednesday afternoon when they host India for the third and final ODI at Manuka Oval. Sydney turned into a bit of a stomping ground for Steve Smith and there is nothing to suggest the Aussies can’t dominate again heading into the Test Series. With cricket back in full swing, we’ve previewed the entire third ODI below! Match Betting Dave Warner’s groin injury has dealt a slight blow to the Australians, but it’s still difficult to fade them even at the $1.50 mark. Steve Smith is on a completely different level right now notching back-to-back centuries over the last five days and it is difficult to imagine this depleted Indian bowling lineup coming up with an answer.   Further down the order, the likes of Marnus Labuschagne and Glenn Maxwell have carried the load nicely, whilst the same can’t be said of the Indian attack. Virat Kohli turned his form around on Sunday with a strong 89 runs off 87 balls, but the loss o...

Maitland - Race 4 6:32pm AEST No. 8 Hudson Bolt Hudson Bolt has won 10 times and been placed in a further 10 from 28 career race starts.

Taree - Race 1 12:40pm AEDT No. 5 Every Effort Grey gelding Every Effort is yet to break through for a win from 11 career race starts but his last start second at Gosford suggests he is ready to win. The four year old looked the winner when hitting the front at the 100m but was nabbed late over the 1900m. He looks like a horse that will appreciate the extra distance and is ready to peak at his sixth run this time in. Bet Now: Taree Race 1 Taree - Race 3 1:55pm AEDT No. 2 Right Bower Kim Waugh and Andrew Gibbons combine in race three with the consistent gelding Right Bower who has managed five placings from his nine career race starts to date. No jockey has ridden more winners than Gibbons at Taree this year and Waugh has very impressive place strike rate of 55% as well. Right Bower found one better first up at this track and distance but will take plenty of benefit from that run and with even luck he will be right in the finish again.

Joined by Dave Warner at the crease, Smith would surpass Bradman’s record once he hit the 20’s – he had only made four runs in the previous weeks Test in Brisbane. In the next over, a single run would see Steve Smith achieve his 7000th Test run, taking only 126 innings to reach the mark – five faster than that...

I came up with the idea for this article because of Shane Battier . If you look at his all of his averages, he had career-highs across the board during his first season with the Grizzlies. After that, he was primarily a role-player . Battier put up career-highs in: Minutes played (39.7 per game) , field-goal attempts (12.3) , points per game (14.3) , rebounds per game (5.4) and steals per game (1.6) . He was a big part of Memphis’ identity. He went on to an impressive career , but statistically speaking, rookie Battier was the best version . Given that so many other players across all sports have dominated as rookie and then fallen off , it’s worth a look into some of them. Four other players will be mentioned here, but there are so many others. Jahlil Okafor The youngest player to appear on this list will be Jahlil Okafor. He’s entering his sixth year in the NBA , and is actually a few months younger than me (25) . As a rookie in Philly, he was playing great ball before sufferi...

Warrnambool - Race 1 12:40pm AEDT No. 3 Bella Tiara Bella Tiara has an excellent chance to claim a maiden race win at Warrnambool this afternoon. She showed plenty of promise during her first racing campaign and on exposed form I think she does have an advantage over the rest of this field. Barrier six is perfect and she should get a lovely run with Jordan Childs in the saddle. Bet Now: Warrnambool Race 1 Warrnambool - Race 4 2:25pm AEDT No. 1 Kissinger Kissinger is deserving of his status as a dominant favourite for this contest. He won at Warrnambool two starts ago in dominant fashion and he had no luck in running when he finished third at Flemington last start. This is a genuine drop in class and on exposed form he has a clear class edge over the rest of this field. Bet Now: Warrnambool Race 4 Warrnambool - Race 6 3:40pm AEDT No. 1 Dee Keepa Dee Keepa has an excellent chance to make it back-to-back wins at Warrnambool this afternoon. She beat a stronger fi...

When you think of Like Mike, you think of your childhood . The movie came out when I was seven years old, and was instantly one of my favorite films. Not just in the basketball category. The same was probably true for most of you reading this article right now.   We saw so many great NBA players in the movie, and became aware that they can all act . Lil Bow Wow was throwing down alley-oop dunks at Staples Center. And we had the great Eugene Levy in there too. What was not to like?   When anybody asks me to rank my favorite basketball movies, there are always two that come to mind. One is Space Jam , and then obviously Like Mike . The Magic of Sneakers Like Mike is centered around orphan Calvin Cambridge, who is not very good at basketball. But as soon he finds a pair of old Michael Jordan sneakers, he opts to put them on. As soon as he does, he finds himself able to emulate the GOAT when he plays.   He realizes these abilities when he throws down an alley-oop du...

Sydney got its first taste of nighttime Cricket when a crowd of 44,000+ attended the World Series Cricket game between the Australians and the West Indies in a day/night clash at the SCG. The game was in such high-demand with the Sydney fans that long lines stretched out of the SCG as far as the eye could see resulting in World Series Cricket owner Kerry Packer demanding the gates be thrown open to allow everyone in. Many regard this game as the making of World Series Cricket after the split between the Cricket...

The Valley - Race 1 12:55pm AEDT No. 3 Supreme Thunder Supreme Thunder has an excellent chance to score a maiden race win at The Valley on Saturday. He was only narrowly denied by Regal Ballerina on debut and they put a gap on the rest of this field. The Night Of Thunder gelding should take good improvement from that effort and he has a huge amount of upside. Bet Now: The Valley Race 1 Rosehill Gardens - Race 7 5:00pm AEDT No. 3 Miss Siska The Festival Stakes is a very open race and Miss Siska is great value at her current price.

Only three races remain on the 2020 Formula 1 calendar and two of those will play out on the Bahrain International Circuit beginning on Sunday.  Lewis Hamilton has already secured his seventh world title, while Mercedes have also sewn up the constructors championship – but that isn’t to say we can’t find some value in betting.  With several drivers looking to finish up on a high note, you can find our best 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix bets below.  Top 6 Finish – Sebastian Vettel @ $7.50  This is enormous value for the German following his first podium finish of the season a fortnight ago in Instanbul.  Long story short, Vettel is a master when it comes to the Bahrain Circuit where he currently holds four wins between 2012-2018. Also worth noting is Ferrari’s track record as a whole – six wins since this race joined the calendar in 2004.  Obviously it’s tough to have complete confidence in Ferrari right now, but with some rain forecast for race day, Vettel ...
