I was waiting for the legendary Jim McGrath to say it but he didn't, so I'll say it anyway in my best, slightly toilet strained Aussie accent. The King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes was a 'BOILOVER'! The word, often used by Mcgrath to describe shocking outcomes to a horse race, perfectly summed up what happened at Ascot on Saturday as one client cleaned up. Our man knew which Stoute horse he fancied, and it wasn't the 8/11 favourite. After choosing to sell Workforce over Harbinger at 0.75 for £300 and buying Olivier Peslier's ride at 22 for £100 on the 50/25/10 Index, our man's cash was firmly with the horse that had won on its previous three outings. The early part of the race saw Workforce and third favourite, Cape Blanco travel side-by-side with Harbinger tracking behind. And the order barely changed as the runners swung for home. That was until the Frenchman on board pushed the button and embarrassed his rivals, eating up the yards to the line to win by a staggering 11 lengths and land the punter £6,325. Not bad for the older Stoute horse!

Eddie Jordan called it 'theft'. F1 controversy hit our screens again in Sunday's German GP, just when we thought they'd all learned their lesson. But while the BBC pundit and former team boss called for both drivers to be disqualified one punter was calling for them to be shot! Nothing should surprise you in Formula 1 but after buying Massa on our LIVE Index at 10 for £50 (25, 10, 5) our man was immediately in the game. As Massa, third on the grid, astonishingly jumped into the lead courtesy of Vettel's attempts to nail Alonso to the pit wall at the off (and wouldn't we all like to do that!). In one of the starts of the season, we came out of the first corner to a Ferrari 1-2, with home nerves obviously getting the best of the German in pole. From then on it was simply between the Ferraris as Massa and Alonso were having it. The wheel-to-wheel battle which F1 fans have been starved of for too long had arrived. But just as F1 became a sport again, we were brought down to earth as Massa's Race Engineer, Rob Smedley, told Felipe; "Fernando is faster than you" which means "get out of the way, you are the number two driver, on less than that Spanish dude, don't argue, thanks very much." Massa let Alonso in and it was not only the fans who were short changed, our man was robbed the chance of a 15 point profit!

County Cricket Durham have won the County Championship for the last two years and were hot favourites to complete a hat-trick of victories this season with their potent bowling attack including Harmison, Onions, Plunkett and Davies. Many were of the belief that they were on the verge of a 'Golden Age' but halfway through the season they've been hit by injures, changed captain and won only three matches. Once 36-38 on our County Championship Division 1 Index, they now languish on 20-23. Can they turn things around?

If you think Durham have got problems then it's nothing to what former top boys Surrey have experienced. Relegated last season without a single win, Surrey started this season as second favourites in Division 2 on 28-31 (behind Sussex who were 32-35). But they've again disappointed despite having riches such as Andre Nel and Younus Khan in their ranks. Are they now officially a small team? Their current price of 10-13 seems to suggest so.
