Just a short line to tell you that I’ve arrived back in the UK, somewhat bereft of shuteye. Consequently, the two items I had planned to post today will now be posted tomorrow.

To save your tenterhooks, I can reveal that tomorrow will see a review of the final standings for Easy Money Laying system, which we trialled up to last Friday. If you’d like to get these selections on a daily basis, I think I have agreed an offer with the author that will be very hard to refuse.

I’ll also be sharing with you a few highlights from my trip to Las Vegas, uncluding an alarming incident on the casino floor the first night we were there.

And I’ll be reviewing the day’s action on four legs and two wheels: July Stakes day at Newmarket, and the first bumpy stage in the Tour de France.

(For info, and it doesn’t help any of us, I would have tipped and backed Cancellara in the Prologue, and Boonen and Hushovd for the sprints. Betfair kindly identified that I was trying to log on from USA and declined my wagers!)

It’s a wide open stage tomorrow, so I’m not overly confident of finding the winner, but we’re moving towards the mountain stages, kicking off on Saturday, and the best news of all is that the Sky repair man has been round this afternoon and replaced my digibox. So Eurosport action is resumed in readiness for the weekend.

A domani…
Matt
