Sister Pact? - Ladies' Wimbledon Final Odds
In the past, it has been suggested that the meetings of the Williams sisters are decided in locations other than on the court, but what could be suspicious about a professional record in which both sisters have won exactly 10 times? Trying to dispel those allegations once and for all, Venus says she'll be going all out for victory – kind of. "I don't necessarily want her to lose but for sure I want me to win," she said hinting at the first ever draw in a Ladies Wimbledon Final "maybe that doesn't make sense, but I don't like to ever see her disappointed in any way." The older sibling dispatched Dinara Safina with ease in her semi-final whilst Serena played out a marathon encounter with Elena Dementieva, but will that a-sister in the final? Sat. 2.10pm BBC1/TG4

The game against Hull FC will be Keith Senior's 500th game in professional rugby league, but just because he has reached the landmark doesn't mean he'll be calling it a day anytime soon. He'll probably need to play until his late forties to pass the record of 928 appearances set by Jim Sullivan, but he didn't exactly rule that possibility out. "I'm very stubborn and just what to keeping going for as long as I can," the 33 year old Leeds centre said like a rugby league playing Duracell bunny, "you are a long time retired, so when the body tells me it's time to hang up the boots then I'll know it's right to quit." The Rhinos have won their last three games on the bounce so will it be the same old story when they visit the Black and Whites? 5pm SS1

Can't Sea Any Problems - Coral Eclipse Stakes Odds
Maybe we shouldn't be listening to someone whose own attempt to follow up a Derby win by claiming the Coral Eclipse Stakes ended in defeat, but just because he's so positive, we'll listen to what Michael Bell has to say. Bell trained Motivator to win the Epsom showpiece and he says there should be no worries about Sea The Stars chopping and changing distances. The John Oxx trained superstar won over a mile in the 2000 Guineas, a mile and a half in the Derby and now drops back to a mile and quarter for the Sandown race. "Horses will have their very best form at a certain distance, but that doesn't mean they won't be nearly as effective either dropped back or stepped up," he said. Will Sea The Stars prove he's the best by some distance by winning in style?

Sea The Stars 8/13
Conduit 9/2
Rip Van Winkle 5/1
