Appointed on the ticket of having the political leverage to bend the ear of those with clout in Westminster, the failure to secure a cut in betting duty in the Budget was viewed by many, perhaps unfairly, as a personal failure on Lord Wakeham’s part.
Loudest in their criticism were those who would have regarded Wakeham as a natural ally when he was a full-time politician, businessmen who have succeeded in their own little empires and cannot resist wondering out loud why every one else cannot do the same. Peter Savill, Celtic Swing’s owner and now a newspaper pundit too, is one of Wakeham’s chief detractors and he was buttressed last week when Bosra Sham’s owner, Wafic Said, used the platform of the annual Gimcrack speech to call for a “dramatic reformation” of the BHB board.Tomorrow brings the first opportunity since the Budget for everyone to have their say on what they think went wrong, the annual forum of the BHB’s Industry Committee. This is one of the most dangerous events in the racing calendar as it brings together in one room representatives from each section of the sport, each determined to put over the self-interested views of their constituents.At last year’s forum the pack thought they had cornered the Committee’s chairman, Matthew McCloy, who had the month before, on the way to the Breeders’ Cup, suffered some embarrassment involving alcohol, handcuffs and the New York police. He sidestepped them, not neatly but certainly effectively, and the heat will be on others tomorrow.The point at which it is all likely to get rather dirty is when the question of the BHB’s financial strategy comes up. Not so much “What is it?” as “Where is it?”The board made the mistake of allowing itself to be browbeaten into saying that it would come up with a business plan and has not yet delivered. For some reason the self-important, self-made men are unimpressed by this situation, usually beginning their criticism with the sentiment “If I ran my business. .”Everyone at the forum will have their own notion of how racing should be run and Heath Robinson would be proud of the number of wacky ideas that are aired.It is in that context that it is possible to say that Thursday’s meeting of the National Association of Bookmakers should produce progress of a more substantial nature for punters and racegoers -the NAB are usually worthy of an award from the Institute of Modern Dance for foot-dragging.The main topic is how to dispel that between-the-wars atmosphere from the racecourse betting ring.
On the agenda will be allowing bookies to set up pitches in areas of the racecourse other than the Tattersalls and Silver Ring enclosures.This raises the possibility of them becoming established in areas such as restaurants, bars and hospitality suites, in the members’ enclosure and around the paddock. These areas have been the sole preserve of the Tote, an organisation that has perhaps not been given the credit it deserves for the way it has developed its racecourse facilities.Customer care is another unlikely subject that has, at last, entered the on-course bookie’s domain. A code of conduct for courtesy, information kiosks teaching newcomers how to bet, Satellite Information Services pictures available in the betting ring and the use of new technology to record bets and to issue detailed receipts are other improvements that could be on the way.Better still, an agreed level of service after the last race, including late-payment facilities, could be put in place so that the race of the day will never again be the one in which you have to catch your bookie before he reaches his car.. Another nail in the coffin. South Africa, quite brilliant for an hour, brought their marathon season to a triumphant conclusion in Cardiff yesterday, and at this rate British rugby will be so far under the ground by the time of the next World Cup that it will take a team of rehabilitated Welsh miners to locate it.
There has been so much talk of southern hemisphere superiority this year that the 45,000 supporters who made the pilgrimage to the Arms Park expected nothing other than a convincing Springbok victory.
No matter that the tourists were on their knees after a brutally hard campaign that had started way back in January; no matter that Gary Teichmann, their captain, was so concerned at the degree of tiredness among his squad that he called only two brief training sessions in the week leading into the game The Boks would win at a canter. Everyone knew it.Predictably, the world was not turned on its head. Joost van der Westhuizen, gliding like a thoroughbred across the wide open spaces, scored three tries from scrum-half and looked as though he had just returned, full of vigour, from a month’s rest and recuperation on the golden sands of Durban. Wales could barely lay a hand on him, and on the odd occasion that the sleek predator from Northern Transvaal was brought to earth, he was able to offload the ball to some other accomplished high-wire act – Andre Joubert or James Small or the marvellous Ruben Kruger.It was not that Wales played badly. There was far more about them yesterday than against Australia a fortnight ago: their back-row stood up to be counted for once and with the two reinstated refugees from rugby league, Scott Gibbs and Allan Bateman, making encouraging headway in midfield, there were things happening out wide, too. But the stark fact remains that the Boks were home and dry well before the interval.Van der Westhuizen was responsible for most of the early damage, showing brute strength to muscle his way over from a close-range scrum to give his side the lead on 11 minutes and then displaying his more refined talents by drawing the positionally challenged Neil Jenkins into a web of confusion before weaving his way across the line shortly before half-time.
He’s a veteran project but a warm body (actually, Zorn said that he was as big as two bodies) nonetheless.The other shoe fell when the team signed Jeremy Bridges.

I’ve never been a big supporter of Selig but not until recently when I actually looked into his career did I realize just how poor of a job his has done. He throws 3 1/3 perfect innings.Which pitcher did a better job?Obviously, the first one: he induced weak contact and kept the ball on the ground.Which one has the better ERA?The second one: he didn’t allow anyone to reach base.Again, things that extreme don’t happen often, but consider this more plausible example.Team A has a shortstop who can move five feet to each side in the time a line drive gets from a batter’s bat to the edge of the infield.Team B has a shortstop who can move eight feet to each side in that time.A pitcher on Team A gives up 15 liners between five and eight feet of the shortstop over a season A pitcher on Team B does the same Team A’s shortstop misses all of them and they go for hits. Having Crumpler line up with him definitely helps him get more looks.He is a very reliable target for Collins in many situations and can quietly be an effective player for any offense. 16.
It was a drama of the highest quality in parts and in whole. 40-0; The Level of the PlayTwo best base-liners of all time, in arguably the best form of their life (of course, some fans will debate the Federer was not at his best for a set and half or so, which is why it is “arguably”), this match could be rated as the best base-line shot-making of all time.Not that it did not have net-play there were plenty of them, but mostly from one side of the court, and on many of those occasions, the forays to the net were nullified with superior base-line play.Neither player was in self-doubt, except perhaps when Nadal was serving for the championship in the fourth set. He had an ability to come in and throw a no-hitter on any given day, was a big game performances, and had a high baseball IQ. Why?Because after losing their first option on offense Yao Ming to a possible career ending injury the Rockets need a young core of players like Ariza and Scola to build a team for the future around, and with Yao gone Ariza will be one of the go to guys unlike when he was on the star studded Lakers. 2009 Stats: .298 BA, 14 HR, 39 RBI, .921 OPSIf you can’t stop ‘em, trade for ‘em, right?Luke Scott has been the Tigers’ killer for the past three seasons.

When and if he does come back this season, how much can you seriously expect to get out of him?We’ll just have to wait until September to answer that.Does this hurt the Yankees?Absolutely.Is it the end of their season, however?Absolutely not.Wang is one man who pitches once every five days. Ever since Chien-Ming Wang got injured on Sunday, there’s been more speculation on what’s to come of the Yankees this season.Wang will be out until at least September. Ramirez, though, leads his position in OPS, home runs, and runs scored.Outfield: Ryan Ludwick, St. Reyes leads NL shortstops with 25 stolen bases and 20 doubles. Though it is highly unlikely he will finish at or above .400, it will be exciting to see how long he can continue the pursuit.My runner-up at third is the Cubs’ Aramis Ramiris, who is second among third basemen in OPS, RBI, and doubles.Shortstop: Hanley Ramirez, Florida MarlinsThis was the hardest pick for me.I narrowly picked Ramirez over Jose Reyes.
He has led the Phillies to the top of the NL East standings.I would give All-Star reserve consideration to Mark Derosa.He has been a steady bat in the Cubs’ lineup, and while listed as a second baseman, he can play nearly every position on the field for the Cubbies.Third Base: Chipper Jones, Atlanta BravesAlong with Utley, Chipper is the other no-brainer on this list.His chase for .400 has been one of the few bright spots for the Braves, a team that has been plagued by injuries and inconsistency. He edges out Brian McCann, who is first among NL catchers in most major offensive categories.The Cubs’ ERA is lower with Soto behind the plate than their overall team ERA, while the Braves’ ERA is higher with McCann behind the plate than their overall ERA.First Base: Lance Berkman, Houston AstrosBerkman leads NL first basemen in batting average (.360) and home runs (19). He has been one of the few bright spots for an Astros team that is fifth in the NL Central.He edges out Albert Pujols who has 16 HR for the surprising Cardinals.Second Base: Chase Utley, Philadelphia PhilliesThis may be the biggest no-brainer.Utley leads the league in homers (22) and RBI (62). He also has thrown out more than 28 percent of base stealers.At the plate, Soto is second among NL catchers in home runs, doubles, RBI, slugging, and OPS. With this in mind, it is a fan’s duty to vote for the players that best give their team’s league a chance to win.Without further delay, here are my choices for the NL All-Star roster.Catcher: Geovany Soto, Chicago CubsDefensively, Soto has handled a pitching staff that leads the NL in ERA, BAA, and is tied for first in saves.

She can present something in a no-nonsense way so people say, ‘But that is exactly how I feel.’ That is the real secret of a great columnist.”But she also has lots of critics, I say “Does she?” he asks. “Just jealous, I suspect”nWeekend Watchdog starts at 7pm on BBC1 this Friday.. Taken at face value, the speech given last month to Hong Kong’s business community by Tsang Tak Sing, chief editor of the Peking-backed newspaper Ta Kung Pao and member of Hong Kong’s government-in-waiting, sounded encouraging. Hong Kong journalists would have more freedom of speech after the handover, freed from “colonial restraints” and “repressive laws”, he said. They would be free to criticise the Hong Kong government, as long as they stopped short of inciting protest
But in China, such terms have an opaque quality. And as the handover looms, Hong Kong’s journalists are daily trying to interpret their meaning – and receiving conflicting signals in the process.
Few media-watchers are bold enough to take a guess at what is going to happen to the Hong Kong media when the territory reverts to Chinese rule after 30 June. Some point hopefully to the recent release of the financial journalist Xi Yang from jail in mainland China, where he had been imprisoned for revealing “state secrets”.
They say that because a free press is necessary to keep Hong Kong’s booming business community stable, Peking will extend its “one country, two systems” promise to the media.”There is good news, like the release of Xi Yang, another positive is that broadcasting laws [which would have meant the Government could pre- censor broadcasts] were dropped,” said Cliff Bale of the Hong Kong Journalists Association “But the signals are very mixed at the moment. There’s a great ambiguity.”Pessimists, such as legislator Emily Lau, a former journalist, or Huang Yumin, editor of Hong Kong’s Mad Dog Daily newspaper, believe that in the face of such ambiguity, to stand still is to lose ground, and that Hong Kong’s media should be “striking forward” as June approaches, to fight for the right to freedom of speech.They accuse much of the mainstream media of instituting self-censorship already, demarcating their own “bottom line”. And probably no newspaper has come under as much attack as the South China Morning Post, Asia’s biggest English-language daily.A number of charges are laid: the dropping in 1995 of The World of Lily Wong, the mischievously subversive cartoon strip about Hong Kong life and Chinese politics, now published in The Independent; the introduction of Chinese characters after the English language names of Chinese leaders; the use of a verbatim report from Xinhua, the official Chinese news agency (and voice of the mainland government); the close relationship with China of the newspaper’s proprietor, Robert Kuok. And last week the Post announced the appointment as editorial consultant of Feng Xiliang, a founding editor of China’s state-backed China Daily newspaper.The charge of self-censorship is vehemently denied by the newspaper’s editor, Jonathan Fenby, formerly of The Observer and The Independent, who says that critics are often ill-informed, or ignoring the facts “Journalistic decisions are being seen as political. It sticks in my throat when people are implicitly criticising journalists here who are at the frontline …
Our Chinese journalists are still getting involved in contentious stories. I think the people who criticise us don’t realise the extent of the Chinese staff.”Many of the criticisms made, he says, stem from the paper’s repositioning towards its Cantonese market – apparent in the proliferation of television adverts featuring Cantonese-speaking “chuppies”.The Chinese characters, he says, provide more accurate transliteration for readers; the Xinhua report was published in the same way that British papers will report occasional speeches verbatim; Lily Wong’s demise was marked by only one Chinese letter of complaint – and that was from Democrat leader Martin Lee. Above all, he says, he receives no editorial interference from Mr Kuok.”It’s inevitable that people say that coverage is changing The answer is yes, it would be amazing if it were different. This is not a place stuck in aspic, it’s evolving all the time,” he says.Citing accusations of political bias, he says that he is merely reflecting the current political scene.
“You could say in terms of coverage a year ago that the Democrats were the show in town. A year ago, if we wrote about CH Tung [the chief executive-designate] it would be on the business pages. Now, obviously, we’re writing about Tung every day.”I guess if you were a media monitor you could do a rundown and say we’re no longer reporting the Democrats.”Mr Fenby argues that many of the paper’s most vocal critics are British politicians who know little of Hong Kong, or Hong Kong politicians who use the paper for their own ends.When he counted last year, he said, Democrats had had more references in the SCMP than anyone else and still make regular appearances in comment pages – a fact ignored in their many accusations of pro-China bias.But it is worth remembering that the idea of the SCMP as a pluralist vanguard is relatively recent. While over the past decade Hong Kong journalism has been as irreverent as anywhere, many journalists remember a time when the paper was regarded as a colonial mouthpiece.About future coverage, Mr Fenby is pragmatic (though he shies from the word, which he believes is used incorrectly as the opposite to “principled”), saying it is decided on an ad-hoc basis.”To me, pragmatism means getting as good a newspaper out as you can, and gradually building up a certain position for the paper, which is one of trying in the reporting and in the analysis and comment areas to be relevant. I don’t know how things will develop.”The bottom line, he says, is that circulation is going up – vindication, he believes, that the paper’s view is still representative of Hong Kong society. “I’ve never been a great believer in the phrase used in the Vietnam war – that you have to bomb the town to save it,” he says.This is not a view shared by Jimmy Lai, proprietor of the Chinese-language Apple Daily, second only to the territory’s Oriental Daily with an estimated circulation of three million readers.Since the newspaper was set up two years ago, it has overtaken much of the highly competitive Chinese market by taking an unusually tough stance against the mainland authorities – a stance which has resulted in problems for Mr Lai’s extensive mainland Chinese business interests.
