Two long-term bets - Preston and Hayley Turner

Preston:

Bet365 have a market on the Championship, betting without Reading and Sheff Utd. My ratings have Preston as the third best team in the division, and I'm not alone in that. The excellent Alex Deacon's ratings in Racing and Football Outlook also have Preston third-best rated. Their current placing down in the chasing pack can be put down to too many draws at home. Should they start converting these into wins then they're bound to be competitive.

12/1 (quarter odds 1,2,3) looks a decent price. 3pts each way.



Hayley Turner:

Hayley is great for racing. Let's get behind her for 2006.

Sporting Odds offer 7/4 that she rides 25 winners or more over the year. Plainly they expect her to disappear now she's lost her claim. Let's bet that doesn't happen. She got loads of rides in December and rode a few winners to boot. The top 70 jockeys or so ride 25 winners in a year and she certainly should be in the top 70. I'm not sure if she is off to Dubai as she was last year. Hopefully not, and she'll kick home a few winners over the rest of the all weather season and have sorted this bet out by mid-summer!!

5pts at 7/4
