Peru Beat Venezuela in 2015 Copa America

Group C of the 2015 Copa America has been a turbulent yet thrilling ride over the first two games. Colombia got things started with an unexpected 1-0 defeat at the hands of Venezuela.

Brazil then surprised nobody by winning 2-1 against Peru. After two games, Brazil and Venezuela were level on three points. However, that has all changed after the second round of games in Group C.

First of all, Colombia managed to rebound with a narrow 1-0 victory over Brazil to move level on three points. And secondly, Peru managed the same feat when they beat Venezuela with a 1-0 score.

Following the latest football results from yesterday (18 June), Group C of the Copa America has been blown wide open. The remaining games will see Colombia play Peru on Sunday, while Brazil will face off against Venezuela. Brazil star Neymar will miss the game after his red card from the Colombia game.

Diamond Jubilee Stakes Racing Tips – 20 June 2015

The last day of Royal Ascot 2015 is all about the prestigious Diamond Jubilee Stakes, which is open to Class 1 horses aged four years or older. A field of 15 will participate in the 16:20 Diamond Jubilee Stakes.

For most of the week, the going has been good to firm at Ascot Racecourse. Well, that trend is set to continue. The surface will be extremely fast and will not suit horses that prefer softer terrain.

After checking out the latest horse racing naps from Sky Sports, it would appear that Brazen Beau is the horse to beat as 9/4 favourite. The four-year-old has won three from eight stakes appearances in its career.

Mustajeeb is fancied as the second-best option at 4/1, having won three from seven career stakes appearances. Wandjina is then an appealing outsider at 10/1 and with two wins from its last two races.
