Good morning Punters - what an anti-climax the boxing was last night! I can't believe an event that takes so much revenue can't get things to run to schedule, or organise enough security to protect a boxer on his entrance. Haye undoubtedly lost to a more superior fighter in size and skill but his excuses about his toe are wide of the mark.
The damp squib that was the boxing match was meant to be the highlight of the weekend - but I think the men's singles finals at Wimbledon will be of a much higher calibre. My pick of Nadal to dominate Djokovic looks good vale at the 6/4 advised, I will also be backing Nadal in 3 sets to nil @ 3/1.
Yesterdays horse racing only showed a small return - with the impressive SoYouThink being the nap of the picks returning at even money and Start Right only getting a place after being unlucky in running for the 2nd race running!
Today's horse racing picks are both abroad - I have layed Brown Panther in the 4.35 at Hamburg, I can't see this winning after losing serious weight after Ascot. £17 layed for £39 on Betfair seems a fair wager.
My second pick is Zoffany in the 2.45 at Chantilly - aiden O'brien's stable is in peak form and should claim this prize in a small field. Early rides were az high as 9/4 but now 6/4 is looking good value.
Best of luck

Were you on the Friday selections.....? Massive profits off the 6 picks!!
Well Friday was a good day to be following The Punters Prerogative - I managed to pick 4 winners from 6 selections and if you backed them in a Heinz (multiple bet) for a £1 stake you would have scooped close to £900 profit! Can you afford not to follow them today?
I rightly predicted that Ritual would win the first at Sandown and Class is Class followed in the 4th race - i then correctly predicted that both tennis matches would finish 3 sets to 1 - setting up a Nadal / Djokovic final! Returning £930.80 for a £57 bet!
As promised today see's the 2nd day of Sandown with the showpiece race being at 3.10 'The Coral Eclipse' - and two very short priced horses controlling the betting markets. Our tip from Royal Ascot that was pipped on the line by Frankie Dettori's mount Rewilding features and is an even money shot to land the race. So You Think (evens - leave the price as likely to drift out) looked as if he went off too early to get home at Ascot and his old owner Bart Cummings stated he had more to give - i think he will come on for that run and clinch todays £226,000 prize fund. Even money is skinny but trainer Aiden O'brien has been in good form recently and saddled the 1st, 2nd & 3rd in last weeks Irish Derby- he thinks a lot of this horse and describes him as one the best he has had.
I think the first race (2.00) on the card will be run by the ever impressive Margot Did (widely about at 7/1) - Hayley Turner has been in the saddle for this Michael Bell trained winner and is set to continue its run of 2 wins and complete its hat-trick.
The 2.35 is a very competitive race and I am predicting a blanket finish with many in with a chance in the closing stages - I'm not sure the winning distance will be much more than a head! And I will be following another horse that was tipped at Ascot by The Punters Prerogative in Start Right. He was highly fancied to win at Royal Ascot only to finish 6th of 28 in The Royal Hunt Cup - he is facing a smaller field today and I think Kieron Fallon will be able to guide the Luca Cumani trained challenge home. The breeding of this tip is encouraging too with bloodlines back to Sadlers Wells & Footprintsinthesand and the 5/1 seems a fair price.
Finally the 3.40 should be won by the Stoute / Ryan Moore combo Shipsbiscuit - he can be found at 7/2. Last time he finished 4th of 6 to Drunken Sailor and the form of the race looks quite solid - he also has a 2nd to Harris Tweed which all indicates he is set to continue improving on that.
Best of luck to you all - remember this weeks earlier tips - Haye on points in the fight tonight - and we have sided with Nadal to retain his title tomorrow against Djokovic. I may have a little wager on the underdog in the Ladies Singles Final today - Sharapova does have a habit of choking or falling at the final hurdle. Her opponent was knocked out in the semi's and could be set to go one better - Petra Kvitova to win 2-1 or 2-0 is an interesting 4/1 & 11/4.

Sandown and Wimbledon
TGI Friday and the end of the month - today see's the men's semi finals at Wimbledon get underway and the weather looks as if we will get a full days play. Well 'our boy Andy' is up against Rafa in the 2nd match on Centre Court, and I will be routing for Andy but my wallet is gonna be screaming for Rafa. He is just under 3/1 to win the match by 3 sets to 1 and crash a Nations hopes of seeing a Brit lift a title at Wimbledon since Fred Perry back in 1936. The first game see's Djokovic take on Roger Federer's conquerer - Jo Wilfred Tsonga and I feel the 5 setter played by the Frenchman against Federer take its toll - I will be backing the same 3 sets to 1 outcome in that too at 14/5.
Wimbledon
Nadal to win 3 sets to 1 - 14/5
Djokovic to win 3 sets to 1 - 14/5
This afternoon see's Sandown kick off there two day Coral Eclipse event with a couple of Class 1 races on the card. It is hard to see beyound the first 3 or 4 in the betting and my selections seem to be at small prices - nonetheless - when backed in a Yankee or a Heinz with the Tennis picks they provide a healthy return!
In the first (2.20) Ritual can defy top weight & a poor high draw and continue where he left off in November, after winning three on the bounce - Jeremy Noseda has the impressive Ryan Moore on board and he is available at 10/3 in most places.
The 2.50 is another 5f sprint and this time Ryan Moore has the favourable low draw on Bear Behind - he is from the same Dam as co-favourite Kohala but is best priced at 11/4 with Stan James.
You can't go wrong with a Richard Hannon 2 year old and he usually has them going well fresh so Nant Season at 7/2 is good value in the 3.25.
And to complete the selections at Sandown in the 4.00 is Class is Class - this horse has showed an improvement since being visored by Sir Michael Stoute last season and went close last time out at Goodwood on the 21st of May with a solid 2nd, he is available at 11/2 with most bookies.
Sandown
2.20 - Ritual 10/3
2.50 - Bear Behind 11/4
3.25 - Nant Season 7/2
4.00 - Class in Class 11/2
More to follow on the blog tomorrow where I will be reviewing Sandown's feature card - and hopefully advising you on what to spend your winnings from today's selections on. Good luck - remember to make the most of the free bet offers advertised on here and the freepunt blog - I will be adding some new offers over the weekend with Sporting Index etc.
I have set up a facebook page so that I don't have to post this on peoples profiles - you may have had an recommendation - can you 'Like' the page and spread the word to your networks - much appreciated.
