Indy Racing League - Homestead 300 - Dan Wheldon to win - 7/1 - 10pts


This week brings a welcome return for a new combined Indycar/Champ car series. The first race at Homestead is a happy hunting ground for Dan Wheldon, who has won at Homestead for the last three years. After setting the faster times in qualifying, he crashed and hence starts from the back of the grid. However, on this type of Oval track that is not a problem - unlike F1 overtaking is relatively starightforward.

The bookies have priced this race up wrong, with Dixon (his team-mmate) at approx 7/4. Wheldon does have to make his way through the field (with possible accidents), so I would make Wheldon an approx 2/1 chance. The 8/1 available at Ladbrokes is an excellent value bet - I've had 10 pts (at average price of 7/1 - I was limited on stakes).

Hi Chris.

Just wondering what your views are on 2 PP novelty markets.

Next scandal to emerge regarding a 2008 Presidential candidate?

4/1 Campaign Financing Irregularities seems interesting.

First Permanent President of the EU?

Chirac 16/1 looks big I reckon.

Cheers.
