We
normally would not entertain an ante-post bet on a golf tournament
this far in advance but this price on an Augusta expert is simply
wrong - he will go off much shorter unless he loses a leg!!

Not
the biggest bet ever struck - but Grugger has impressed in training
and having finished 3rd in his last World Cup Downhill he could
make these odds look rather large

A
"hedge" bet for those who took the 11/2 Yes a week ago
- basically we now have a free bet that there will be snow - and
as there is nothing more fickle than the British weather this seems
the sensible option

The
long range weather forecast currently states - A change to unsettled
conditions in mid-December is expected to be followed by a change
to much colder weather with some snow. Obviously the timing of this
change will be crucial, but it does look as though cold weather
may be affecting the UK over the Christmas period. As well as being
cold, we expect a rather unstable airflow to bring an increased
risk of precipitation, and this may well fall as snow in parts of
the UK. Northern and eastern areas look to have the best chance
of snowfall.

Yusaka
Miyazato

We
have had the young Japanese player in mind for this event for some
time now as he has finished runner-up here in the last 2 years.
Sadly they have changed the venue but we believe that may not hamper
him as the reason for his affinity with the event could well be
that he was born in Okinawa.

On
the comeback from injury she showed she was not far off being fit
again with a 4th place in Aspen. Her last 7WC Slalom finishes read
3/1/2/25/3/4/DNF so the odds look very generous for her return home

Antoine
Deneriaz

His
best discipline is probably the Downhill as he showed with a 2nd
place finish at Lake Louise. His price has lengthened after a poorer
showing at Beaver Creek (where he always skis badly) and some poor
Super G's - not his discipline. On a return to his home country
we feel he could put in a very solid performance.

McLardy

McLardy
is a much better player on home soil than when on his travels around
the globe. He won at Leopard Creek earlier this year in the SA Tour
Championship and was 4th 2 years before. With Els a very short priced
favourite there is certainly value to be had further down the field.
