Caulfield StakesGulp. Here goes. Champion mare Winx is vulnerable in Saturdays Group I Caulfield Stakes, and heres why.Its hardly to her benefit that she has frightened away all bar two rivals, with a slow pace and riding tactics to be more influential in the outcome than is usually the case.None of the three contestants is a leader, but its probable the one with the most tactical speed, Black Heart Bart, will take it up and run the race to suit.Winxs rider, Hugh Bowman, wont give Brad Rawiller too much leeway, but in Black Heart Bart the hot favourite will be asked to run down an in-form, high-class animal wholl kick off the corner with plenty in reserve and likely keep kicking.Favourites have a mixed record in this race -- think El Segundo in 2006, Pompeii Ruler in 2008, Lion Tamer in 2011, even Kermadec last year -- and small fields whatever the event have a habit of tossing up curious results.Theres no potting the great mare -- how could you? -- but at $1.20 Id rather be a layer than a backer. If her incredible winning run is ever to come to an end, theres reason to think that day might be Saturday.Recommended bet: Black Heart Bart in a boilover at $4.60 with UBET.Caulfield GuineasAn extremely open renewal of this stallion-making Group I, with probably half the 14-strong field holding a winning chance.Sydney-raced colts Impending and Divine Prophet head the market, the former marginally holding sway at $4.40 with UBET. His form earlier this prep around Astern is first class, and he gained a richly deserved win last time in the Stan Fox Stakes (beating Divine Prophet).Team Godolphin is in good form this spring and Impending will be hard to beat; gate 10, however, will require one of the best from James McDonald.Another wholl need luck in running, but another who hails from an in-form stable, is Hey Doc, who was a convincing winner of the Group 2 Stutt Stakes and is three from three since being gelded. Barrier 13 is a blow, though, and hell be ridden back in a race that is often won from the front.Sacred Elixir won the Guineas Prelude (conceding weight) and has an excellent hope if not already wanting further, while a case can be made for Wazzenme at longer odds.Recommended bet: Go the exotics. Box trifecta Nos. 1,2,4,5,9 with UBET.Toorak HandicapThis race looks to be at the mercy of one of Australias most improved and in-form gallopers, Hes Our Rokkii.The former Kiwi has not put a hoof wrong this campaign, winning two from two, tipped by ESPN on both occasions, and he is now unbeaten in his past four starts.Barrier one can be a blessing or a curse in these races, but, last start at Caulfield, Hes Our Rokkii showed racing inside horses was no issue at all, darting through along the rails to win against the bias.Hell peak third-up, will improve again for the step up to 1600 metres, and has won two from three at the track, placing in the other.Class runners Awesome Rock and Tosen Stardom each have an awkward gates to contend with, while last-start Sir Rupert Clark winner Bon Aurum is fancied but yet to prove he is as effective at a mile.Royal Rapture comes into the race in superb form and might give the favourite most to do, but this Group 1 looks Hes Our Rokkiis for the taking.Recommended bet: Take the $4 Hes Our Rokkii with UBET. Likely to start shorter on the day.Thousand GuineasThe usual mix of Sydney and Melbourne form in this Group 1, with all bar two candidates attempting 1600m for the very first time.The two who have raced at a mile -- Global Glamour and Harlow Gold?-- have both won at the trip, the former at Group 1 level in last weeks Flight Stakes.Global Glamour has undeniable form claims but might not get the uncontested lead she enjoys on Saturday, with several go-forward types engaged.In any case, she has been beaten twice by Foxplay, who again opposes and is a worthy favourite.Foxplays win in the Tea Rose, when overcoming traffic, was full of merit and she races as if the mile will suit.Chris Wallers filly should get a charmed passage from barrier five and prove too good.Recommended bet: Foxplay to win at $3.20 with UBET.Spring Champion StakesA very difficult race to get a handle on, but one that most certainly revolves around Yankee Rose.Punters will take one of two views: Yankee Rose is the best horse in the race and is back, or form from the Flight Stakes, where she was runner-up, is questionable and 2000m is a query.Im in the latter camp, largely because the filly is yet again too short in the market, this time a $2.60 chance with UBET.If you fancy Yankee Rose, go for your life. She boasts the best overall form and might win.But out of the Gloaming Stakes, where several of whom were involved in a bunched finish reoppose here, perhaps Swear is the one.Nothing went right for the Team Hawkes colt at Rosehill, but second-up at 1800 metres and in just his third lifetime start, Swear peeled off the quickest last 600 metres to be beaten less than a length. He has more scope than most of these.Recommended bet: In a trappy race, Swear each-way at $5.50 with UBET.Best BetCaulfield Race 9, No.4 Hes Our Rokkii @ $4 with UBETJust wins the Toorak. Just wins.Over the OddsCaulfield Race 2, No.3 Big Memory @ $6 with UBETWon this race in 2014 - and hasnt won another race since. But dont let that deter you. Big Memory retains all of his ability and can win the Herbert Power for a second time. Ignore the geldings last-start failure when kept to 1700 metres second-up from a spell. Restrained off a slow pace, Big Memory was never a chance behind Royal Rapture and instead should be judged on his excellent first-up third to the same horse. Probably the best-weighted horse in the race under 53kg, and the small field suits. Looks worth a bet at $6.Caulfield Race 10, No.4 Hucklebuck @ $8.50 with UBETLooks to have plenty to do dropped to 1100 metres for this second-up assignment, but in fact Hucklebuck has plenty in his favour in the Schillaci Stakes. The 2014 Emirates Stakes winner races best second-up, will relish the return to weight-for-age conditions, will benefit from the likely strong pace, and likes Caulfield. Hucklebuck can finish over the top of them and reward backers at exceptionally good odds.Under the OddsCaulfield Race 4, No.3 Chetwood at $2.50 with UBETNot entirely comfortable opposing a Godolphin favourite, but Chetwood simply must be taken on at the price. Unbeaten in three starts this prep (hence the short quote), but meets a very good field here and will not get his own way in front. Toss in the rise in weight, the awkward barrier and the fact this is his first go left-handed, and the conclusion is to bet around the favourite.Lay of the DayRandwick Race 8, No.8 Extensible @ $3.30 with UBETNothing at all wrong with this mares form, having won twice and placed the other three times in five runs since a spell. But the Group 3 Angst Stakes is a significant step up from the Benchmark company shes been keeping, while barrier 12 is a serious impediment for a horse which likes to race on or near the speed. Extensible meets a good field of females here and is no value at all. If you must back her, wait until post time; shes sure to lengthen.Multi of the WeekendCaulfield Race 4, No.10 Rageese - PLACE @ $1.80 with UBETCaulfield Race 8, No.2 Impending - PLACE @ $1.85 with UBETCaulfield Race 9, No.4 Hes Our Rokkii - PLACE @ $1.75 with UBETCaulfield Race 10, No.4 Hucklebuck - PLACE @ $2.80 with UBETMulti price: $16.31 with UBET Cheap Air Max 97 China .

Just as Montreal was settling into the first full working week of a new year, the Impact announced the appointment of their new head coach. TOKYO -- An independent panel commissioned by the Japanese Olympic Committee has found nothing illegal in a payment made to a Singapore consulting firm in connection with Tokyos bid to host the 2020 Summer Games.A report by the panel released Thursday said a $2.8 million Singapore dollar (then $2.3 million) payment to the consultancy Black Tidings for bid planning services and lobbying advice in 2013 was legitimate.The panel concluded that Tokyo bid executives had no knowledge of the link between the head of Black Tidings, Ian Tan Tong Han, and the son of former IAAF president Lamine Diack, who is facing corruption charges in France.The investigation concludes that the contents and execution process of the payment are not in violation of any Japanese law, lawyer Yoshihisa Hayakawa, who headed the panel, told a news conference. Any violation of the IOC code of ethics also could not be found.The panel, consisting of two lawyers and a certified public accountant, said Tan deserved the payment based on detailed reports he provided the committee that demonstrated his ability to lobby effectively and provide useful information for the bid committee.The findings are in line with what we expected, and we are relieved, said JOC president Tsunekazu Takeda, who headed the bid committee.The report noted, however, that the payment was twice the average of what the Tokyo bid committee paid to other consultants. Hayakawa said the team also did not receive an exact accounting of how Tan spent the money.In addition, the investigation team was unable to speak directly to Tan, Diack or his son, Papa Massata Diack, in part due to the ongoing French corruption investigation and didnt have access to data stored in computers issued by the committee that had been destroyed when the bidding process ended. The team largely relied on documents that had been kept by former committee members.Personally, I regret we could not interview them. If we could have met Mr. Tan, especially, Im sure we could have examined what exactlly happened in this case, Hayakawa said.ddddddddddddSuspicion about the Black Tidings payment arose in the course of the French investigation into Diack, once one of the most influential men in sports, and his son, who is wanted in France on bribery, money laundering and corruption charges.Tan is one of Papa Massata Diacks close friends. They were so close that Tan named his child, born in 2014, Massata, according to a World Anti-Doping Agency investigation into Russias athletic doping scandal.According to French prosecutors, the payment is thought to have been transferred from Japan to the Singapore account of Black Tidings in two installments in July and October 2013.The Japanese investigation also found the payment to Tan was made in two installments. The first contract for U.S. $950,000 was signed in July 2013 for Tans lobbying and consulting work, and the remainder of the money was transferred to him three months later as a bonus for winning the bid, the report said. The contract did not include a specific reference prohibiting bribery.Details of the payment procedures were not shared among the committee executives, and the lack of communication might have invited suspicions, the report said. It also noted that future bidding activity for international athletic events should pay more attention to transparency and compliance to stricter rules.Tokyo was chosen in September 2013 as the Olympic host, and the elder Diack, then an International Olympic Committee member, had a vote and influence over blocs of other votes as a high-profile figure in the organization.The widening of the French inquiry into the 2020 Olympic bidding process has put heavy pressure on Tokyo organizers and the IOC, which has sought to distance itself from the FIFA and IAAF corruption scandals and insisted that it had cleaned up since a bid scandal over the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics.
