Sportzfan Radio show #261.1

@SportzfanRadio now available on iTunes!26 August 2012 261.1 – The Professor and Paul Gamble kick off the program with Sportzfan Stan still out of the side injured. They start the program looking at the parlous state of rugby union with the Wallabies failing to trouble the scorer for the first time in fifty years against the All Blacks. They consider that Robbie Deans tenure must be on shaky ground. Dan Butterly comes on to talk US sport and looks at the Lance Armstrong decision not to contest the USADA charges, the start of the college football season and also the start of the NFL season. The Gelding talks racing and reviews the results from yesterday’s Moonee Valley and Warwick Farm meetings.

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Warwick Farm Saturday 25 August 2012

Where do we start today. There are so many good horses back and ready to run. The wrap on NECHITA who is the shortest fav of the day, is absolutely enormous. The dogs have been barking the Moody horses MOMENT OF CHANGE for the past 2-3 weeks! Hence the $3.0 bet by the Corporates was knocked off pretty quickly. Our 2012 record reveals a +$659 profit.

Race 3 n4 MOMENT OF CHANGE $180 win BOBs. Gets 4+kgs off the only dangers in the race. Expect this neddy to be too nippy for them.

Race 7 n10 NECHITA $350 win BOBs. The boom on this is so loud they would hear it in Afghanistan! Its win stamped it as well above average and has trialed like a potential superstar.

Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.

Sydney Colt’s (lack of) Mail For Rosehill 18 August 2012

I’m still getting over the shock riding tactics aboard our neddy Norzita last week. With BOBs we hit the bookies at $2.7 and watched it firm to $1.90. You are lucky to see that once a year. Oh how I wish the nightmares would stop! Then our 2nd bet goes around and wins with a leg in the air (as expected) but the best we got was a lousy $1.40.

On paper I thought today threw up a few “must be backed” prospects however on ringing around this morning the mail is confusing. I think we are best served staying out today and keeping our powder dry for next Saturday.

If you are a punt drunk and must indulge I did hear in Melb r4 n10 Agueda did trial extremely well in Sydney before heading south. It is $15 in the betting and may be worth a small e/w bet.

Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Warwick Farm 11 August 2012

Winter racing is taking its toll on punt drunks and Sydney Colt groupies. Last week our straight out bet ran 2nd while our place bet ran 4th. Bugger! Never mind while we lost a good chunk of our bankroll we are still winning $734 for 2012. Our confidence is still running high despite money lost. I’m happy to splurge on the strength of the mail today. Looking to the future I am already hearing some news about a few 2yo horses who will debut for the Waterhouse and O’Shea yards in early Spring.

Race 1 n2 NORZITA $175 win (BOBs) This neddy is on the way up. Impressive last time and I’m told has improved on the track since.

Race 3 n2 SHE’S A FOX $250 win (BOBs) Sydney Colt groupies won on this neddy last run when its sectionals were sensational. Has already been backed for a fortune in early markets so our return will not be too flash.

Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.

Gelding’s tips for 4 August 2012

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Canterbury 4 August

Last week saw us gain a handy win of $104 which brought our 2012 winnings to +$1184. Today we welcome Gai back to Saturday racing after an O/S venture. Sydney Colt groupies and punt drunks everywhere know how much we love Gai’s stable. We have some mail for a couple of her runners today so watch out for racing’s first lady!

Race 1 n1 RAMPAGING $250 win (BOBs). We are told this neddy is finally fit and is racing at a suitable distance. Expecting this to lead all the way!

Race 3 n1 DE SHAMEKH $200 place (best of 3 totes) Trials leading into this have only been fair but has apparently improved a ton on the track. Nash should get a lovely run behind the pace.

Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Warwick Farm 28 July 2012

Confident we can add to our $1000+ profit in 2012 with bets in 2 races today for Sydney Colt groupies. Warwick Farm wont scare punt drunks. No rain this week!

Race 3 n5 She’s A Fox $160 win (BOBs) and n8 Kristy Lee $40 win (BOBs). I would double my bet on SAF but the barrier has me a little concerned. I’m told KL has gone great on the track since an impressive trial.

Race 5 n1 HAPPY HUSSY $140 win (BOBs). Its called class, class and more class. Very well placed on ratings and been racing in good form races.

Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
