306 and out!

September 28, 2013 @packers4 Leave a comment

After 306 shows and six and a half years on air, Sportzfan Radio comes to an end on Sunday 29 September 2013. A most fitting day as it is the first anniversary of the demise of Sportzfan Stan. Unlike nearly every other sports program we strived to discuss the real issues in sport and to provide thought provoking discussion.

We like to think that our ‘experts’ really know the games that they talked about – Dalligan on League, Fiorenti on soccer, Mordiboy on golf, the Gambler on lawn bowls, the Gelding & the Sydney Colt on all matters racing, John O’Callaghan on the legal issues in sport, Daniel Eade on NBL, NBA & AIHL, Sportzfan Stan on sackings, Dan Butterly on US sport and the Professor on……well he commented on anything and everything.

We have enjoyed all the production meetings at the Great Western Hotel and every minute of presenting the show. We hope that you enjoyed our analysis on sport, but wonder where the ladies at the Tennis club will now get their Saturday morning race selections from. Maybe we can prevail on the Gelding and the Sydney Colt to still post their expert predictions on the website.

Don’t miss the last show from midday tomorrow!

Dalligan’s Dandies for 31 August 2013

August 31, 2013 @packers4 Leave a comment

There is no doubt that in the head to head last Saturday, the Sydney Colt won the day and it turned out that Someday wasn’t the fastest thing out of Brisbane since Wendell Sailor.

Today, Paul looks at both Caulfield and Rosehill for some value for punters. He hopes that a turf war doesn’t break out between he and the Sydney Colt.

Caulfield

Race 3 Horse 9 – Mosse Diva (for the ladies at the Tennis club)

Race 4 Horse 3 – Prince Harada

Rosehill

Race 1 Horse 1 – Bull Point (also for the ladies at the Tennis club)

Race 8 Horse 11 – Pretty Pins

Paul says that Danish Rock is running at Horsham on Tuesday and he may have a dollar or two each way on it as well.

Good luck and good punting!

Dalligan’s Dandies for 24 August 2013

August 24, 2013 @packers4 Leave a comment

With the Gelding still enjoying his well earned break in Hawaii, our guest tipster Paul Dalligan turns his mind to selecting some more winners for the Sportzfan Radio punt drunks.

This week he goes head to head with the Sydney Colt as Paul centres his attention on Warwick Farm. Paul says his best bet of the day is in Race 8 Someday – the fastest thing out of Brisbane since Wendell Sailor!

Warwick Farm

Race 6 Horse 14 – Streama (for the ladies at the Tennis club)

Race 8 Horse 15 – Someday (also for the ladies at the Tennis club)

Paul suggests a quinella in the 8th race coupling Someday with Horse 2 Norzita.

He also suggests a dollar or two each way on the Victorian provincial meeting at Donald in race 7 horse 5 Danish Rock.

We’ll talk with Paul tomorrow on Sportzfan Radio about his selections.

Good luck and good punting!!

August 17, 2013 @packers4 Leave a comment

With the Gelding taking a well earned break overseas on the Sportzfan Radio dollar, guest tipster and Rabbitoh’s tragic, Paul Dalligan turns his hand to the punt at Caulfield today.

You can bet that Dalligan has these horses as part of some multi with AFL, NRL, MLB and NFL.

When asked why only two selections, Paul replied, “It’s always quality not quantity Professor”. He also added “They haven’t come here for a haircut!”.

Caulfield

Race 4 Horse 5 – Il Cavallo (for the ladies at the Tennis club)

Race 6 Horse 4 – Puissance De Lune (also for the ladies at the Tennis club)

We’ll talk with Paul tomorrow on Sportzfan Radio about his selections.
