Chile Beat Uruguay in Hot-tempered Affair

On: Jun 25  / Categories: Classy Updates, Football Results  / 

Chile have advanced to the semi-finals of the 2015 Copa America after defeating Uruguay 1-0 in a match that yielded two red cards for the losers and current holders. Uruguay have been subpar for the entire tournament, and that did not change on Wednesday (24 June).

Uruguay are a much worse team without Luis Suárez, who is still absent from international due to his ban for biting Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini at last summer’s World Cup. The loss of the world-class forward simply cannot be replaced by PSG’s Edinson Cavani.

In the football results from yesterday, this one especially stands out because of Uruguayan red cards for Edinson Cavani on 62 minutes and Jorge Fucile on 87 minutes.

Uruguay played with an extremely defensive approach, content to only create six chances compared to Chile’s 15. However, Chile eventually scored their winning goal through Mauricio Isla after 80 minutes. Chile’s reward is a place in the semi-finals.

Chester Horse Racing Nap of the Day – 26 June 2015

On: Jun 25  / Categories: Classy Updates, Horse Racing Naps  / 

Not one of the six races scheduled for Chester on Friday evening offers a prize fund below £10,000. That speaks volumes about the calibre of horses expected to compete. Ahead of the action, the going is currently good to firm (good in places). The following horse racing nap of the day comes from the ever-reliable Sky Sports.

Coming third in the evening is the 19:35 Fillies Handicap, which is open to horses three years or older and features the largest prize fund with £15,000. Current favourite from the seven runners is 9/4 prospect Shasag, winner of one from three in its career.

A slightly more appealing option is the 3/1 Serene Beauty, having won and finished twice in two races. Serene Beauty has been reared by a more familiar trainer in the form of Charlie Appleby. That understandably adds to the appeal of the three-year-old.

Close to £80,000 worth of prize money was awarded in Carlisle for the UK horse racing results yesterday.
