As one of the leading betting firm brands on the high street you’d think that www.williamhill.com would have a website to match but it seems the on-line world of wagering isn’t their forte.

The website, certainly at first impression, is just boring. There’s very little to draw you away from the landing page and into the main body of the site. Static, generic pictures are the only very dim bright spot on a welcoming area that is full of plain text links to their “highlights.” If they really were highlights you’d think that they’d want to shout about them rather than the punter having to research why it’s a highlight for themselves.
On the plus side if you do decide to venture further you have all the markets you’d want a punt with a name you can really trust. www.williamhill.com has been around long enough for any customer to know that they’re not going to disappear with your money. Because they are one of the biggest firms in the world they have plenty of markets and a very good array of ante-post markets a realistic prices.
The introduction of Betlive TV is very good too. Meaning some of the ‘lesser’ sport you may what to wager on you can watch also allowing you to bet in play with accuracy.
All in all it’s not bad- it’s just not great they just need to improve the look of the thing.

The two-year-old won the group two mile event in testing ground conditions showing he should have no trouble in stepping up to the mile and a half Classic trip in 2009.
The colt is now around 16/1 for the Epsom contest after a finishing half a length ahead of fellow group one hopeful Masterofthehouse who was back in third. The latter is now available to back at 16/1 for the UK’s premier contest.
Super trainer Aiden O’Brien’s unbeaten prospect Rip Van Winkle is also fancied for the big one after a couple of outings including a great win in the group three Tyros Stakes. He is expected to make his debut at the highest level very soon and good performance in those races will see the 12/1 about him at the moment disappear quicker than the Bradford and Bingley.
Another John Oxx charge Arazan is also in with a shout for June’s big race after landing a group two earlier this season. That was followed though by a defeat to another potential Derby entrant, Mastercraftsman, in his first group one outing. That was over seven furlongs in heavy conditions perhaps putting a doubt next to his name over stamina and therefore his staying power for the Classic distance.
Curlin’s success in the Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont Park has prompted the bookmakers to run for cover a bit and cut him to, in some cases, to 4/1 co-favourite for the Breeders’ Cup Classic.

The defending champion looks every bit the horse to beat again this year who followed up last year’s success with a comprehensive win in the world’s richest race, the Dubai World Cup, in February. That night under the floodlights Steven Asmussen’s charge went a massive seven and three quarter lengths clear to score.
Since then the four-year-old has only been beaten once in four grade one outings and is earning the reputation as ‘king of the dirt.’
It is that fact that he, at the moment, has the advantage over the European challengers of Duke of Marmalade, Henrythenavigator, and Ravens Pass who have all yet to run on artificial surfaces. Also in the case of ‘The Duke’ he look set to take his place in the Prix de L’Arc de Triophme at Longchamp and may not even go to the states
American horse Big Brown is sandwiched between the favourite and the raiders from Europe after landing the Kentucky Derby this year. He’s another horse who knows dirt well and he’ll sure to be in the mix.
Zenyatta won impressively at Belmont recently and is now even money favourite for the Ladies’ Classic while Street Boss was beaten in the Vosburgh and has been eased to 9/2 for the Breeders’ Cup Sprint.
