Horse Racing picks for Aqueduct race track on Thursday, November 30

There is plenty of great Horse Racing across America on Thursday, including at Aqueduct race track . We have been in fine form with our picks for a long time now and are up +150.65 units with our race selections to our recommended stakes dating back to August 5, 2021. Let’s keep it rolling! Here are our best bets for today’s action at Aqueduct race track . 12:20 pm Aqueduct (Race 1) – Two Redheads 7 /5 (2-star play) The filly broke her maiden when making her debut for current trainer Mertkan Kantarmaci last month. The three-year-old came home six-and-three-quarter lengths clear of her 11 rivals in a $30,000 maiden claiming contest held over this course and distance on that occasion. Jockey Manny Franco, on board that day is again in the saddle here and he looks capable of steering the daughter of Munnings to her second career success following a 52.84 four furlong work at Belmont Park recently. 2:15 pm Aqueduct (Race 5) – Vintage 9/5 (2-star play) The thr...

Five must watch games of Week 13 in the NFL

Seahawks - Cowboys The Seahawks face a tough Game ahead against one of the strongest teams in the NFC. Despite criticism, the Cowboys are well-rounded. To win, the Seahawks need to pressure Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, improve their third-down conversion rate to at least 45%, and start strong to disrupt the Cowboys’ home-field advantage. Lions - Saints As the Detroit Lions prepare to face off against the struggling New Orleans Saints in an NFL showdown on Sunday, two distinct angles emerge, each favoring one side. On one side, the Saints are in an exceptional position at home this season, boasting a perfect record. Despite two straight wins against Tennessee and Chicago, both victories lacked substantial margins . The Saints faltered against tougher opponents like Jacksonville and Tampa, losing by a touchdown or more in each contest. Last time the Saints and Lions played in the dome :/ pic.twitter.com/bGcYDZdEri — kadin (@kadinjanisch) November 29, 2023 Conversely, the D...

NFL MNF Bears vs Vikings Same Game Parlay at +1147 odds

This week’s edition of Monday Night Football takes us to Minnesota for a battle between the Passtronaut and Justin Fields. The Vikings and Bears both suffered heart-wrenching defeats in Week 11, and no team wants to continue a losing streak, so Monday night is an important Game for both sides. I’ve crafted a Same Game Parlay for this primetime matchup that pays out at over 11/1 odds at FanDuel Sports book. Vikings -6.5 (+164) Josh Dobbs 200+ passing yards (-270) Justin Fields to score a touchdown (+180) Same Game Parlay odds: +1147 Minnesota Vikings -6.5 (+164) over Chicago Bears Last week, Justin Fields nearly led the Bears to a win in his first Game back. However, in classic Bears fashion, they blew a massive lead and allowed a safety to end the Game . As for Fields, he did a little bit of everything in the loss. He threw for 169 yards and a touchdown while also rushing 18 times for 104 yards. His dual-threat abilities were on full display, and although he can be very dang...

Mikel Arteta focused on team spirit after nervy Aaron Ramsdale display

Image
Mikel Arteta opted to focus on Arsenal's collective performance when questioned about Aaron Ramsdale's unconvincing display against Brentford. Recalled to the side because David Raya was ineligible to face his parent club, Ramsdale sloppily gave the ball away in the first half on a couple of occasions and looked desperately short of confidence. Bryan Mbeumo came within a whisker of punishing Ramsdale for his dallying on the ball, but saw his goal-bound effort cleared off of the line by the retreating Declan Rice. Ramsdale settled down a little as the Game wore on but his determination to play out from the back, even if there wasn't a viable option available, appeared to irk an agitated Arteta on the touchline. Kai Havertz's 89th minute winner eventually bagged all three points for Arsenal, sending the Gunners top of the Premier league table, and Arteta evaded questions about Ramsdale despite being asked directly about his performance in his post-match press conferenc...

College football Week 13 best underdog bets, picks and predictions: Buckeyes, Aggies and Gamecocks control Rivalry Week matchups

Sadly, it has arrived – the final week of the college football regular season. There will be an article next week for conference championships, but the focus is ending the regular season with a few more wins. Last week was a success. We won 2 of the 3 picks, and both of those teams won their games outright. That pushes us to 22-13-1 through 12 weeks with a little bit of work to do if we want to finish the season at least 10 wins above .500. It is rivalry week after all, so some of these underdogs could be barking a bit louder than usual. Let’s dive in.  Ohio State Buckeyes +3.5 (-110) over Michigan Wolverines Ohio State has been better than Michigan defensively in the last month and a half. While both defenses are in or around the top 15 in most metrics, the Buckeyes rank higher in defensive PPA, success rate and points per opportunity since Week 7. They are also very good defensively on standard downs, and are 13th nationally in PPA per rush allowed – which is going to be crucial ...

Tottenham under FA investigation over sale of Jermain Defoe in 2008

Image
The Football Association have confirmed they will investigate Tottenham Hotspur's sale of Jermain Defoe to Portsmouth in 2008 amid claims an unlicensed agent was used as part of the deal. Defoe enjoyed four years at Tottenham before leaving for Portsmouth for £7.5m in January 2008, earning himself a switch back to White Hart Lane 12 months later after bagging 16 goals in 31 Premier League Game s. According to The Times , an unlicensed agent by the name of Mitchell Thomas was used to help the negotiations, while Spurs chairman Daniel Levy also failed to agree a representation contract with another agent who received £1m for his involvement in the sale - both breaches of FA rules. A panel investigating potential issues with the transfer concluded in January 2010 that Thomas helped Defoe secure the terms of his Portsmouth contract, despite Defoe's claims that he negotiated the contract himself, but the FA declined to pursue disciplinary action against Spurs when presented with t...

Martin says 2023 MotoGP title ‘stolen’ by bad tyre in Qatar GP

Image
Martin was imperious in Saturday’s sprint at the Qatar GP to cut Francesco Bagnaia’s championship lead down to seven points and force the title battle to the Valencia finale next week. But in Sunday’s grand prix, Martin struggled from the off and ended up 14.819s off winner Fabio Di Giannantonio down in 10th, with his deficit to Bagnaia – who was second – growing to 21 points. Martin blamed his form on a rear tyre that “was like a stone” from the start of the 22-lap race and has raged against Michelin – though refused to name the tyre supplier. “It’s difficult to understand,” he began. “Looks like I forgot to ride. “I think you could see at the start when the rear tyre started spinning, it was like a stone. “Normally this happens when the track is dirty. It wasn’t, because it was the grid, and when the tyre maybe has 30 laps [on it], and it didn’t because it was new. “So, you can guess what happened by your own. From that point I tried to manage a ...

Housing Day (November 18th)

Image
Quick facts When is it? Every November 18th What's the official website? housingday.co.uk Tagged as Economy Government & Legal What's the hashtag? #HousingDay Have we missed something? Persons who have been homeless carry within them a certain philosophy of life which makes them apprehensive about ownership. Jerzy Kosinski Homelessness is a serious problem, even in what we perhaps foolishly refer to as ‘first world countries’, and Housing Day was established as part of a movement to combat it all over the world. In the US alone there are 643,000 homeless people, and 200,000 in Canada according to a 2008 study, and in many locations homelessness is treated as a criminal problem. Housing Day works to help change this perception, and to provide a home for those who are currently suffering from homelessness. History of Housing Day Housing Day first appeared in 1998 with the determination to establish homelessness as a national disaster. The mayors of...
