Gelding’s ‘red hot’ tips for 12 October 2013

October 11, 2013 @thegelding Leave a comment

The Gelding’s attention is well and truly on Caulfield this Saturday and with the big races just around the corner, all the good horses are trying to stake their claims.

With so many good horses, winners will be difficult to pick, but that won’t stop the Gelding from having a go!

As always the bets are on an each way and all up basis.

Caulfield

Race 6 Horse 6 – Atlantic Jewel (for the ladies at the Tennis club)

Race 7 Horse 10 – Richie’s Vibe

Race 8 Horse 1 – Sea Moon

Race 9 Horse 6 – Speediness

Race 10 Horse 4 – Long John (also for the ladies at the Tennis club)

Good luck and good punting!

The Professor’s rant #1

October 9, 2013 @packers4 Leave a comment

Poor form by Braves players who refused to catch the ceremonial first pitch from Chipper Jones. By the way Chipper just happened to play 19 seasons with the Braves, 8 time All Star, 1999 NL MVP, his number retired by the Braves and no doubt a first round Hall of Fame entrant when he is eligible.

The petulant players sent out the Brave’s mascot instead to catch the ball.

Chipper’s crime? His forecast to the media that he thought the Dodgers would beat the Braves 4-1 (which they did).

Me thinks the Braves as an organisation need to take a good hard look at themselves! A terrible way to treat a former champion.

Braves……you have struck out!

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!

September 21, 2013 @thegelding Leave a comment

The Gelding’s attention is on his home track at Caulfield today for Underwood Stakes day. The Gelding says it is a ‘Cox Plate’ field and should be a good pointer for the Spring Carnival.

He also says punters should keep a little up their sleeve for an each way bet on Danish Rock at Wangaratta on Monday.

As always the bets are on an each way and all up basis.

Caulfield

Race 2 Horse 7 – Shamal Wind

Race 3 Horse 4 – Villa Verda

Race 4 Horse 4 – Self Sense

Race 7 Horse 6 – Gregers (for the ladies at the Tennis club)

Race 8 Horse 12 – Atlantic Jewel (also for the ladies at the Tennis club) – the ladies should also have an each way bet on Horse 8 Puissance de Lune

The Gelding’s attention is on Moonee Valley today with the running of the Dato’ Tan Chin Nam Stakes feature race. The return of the good horses makes selecting a winner just that bit more difficult, but, the Gelding is up for the task.

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!!

Dalligan’s Dandies for 17 August 2013

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.

Good luck and good punting!!

Gelding’s ‘red hot’ tips for 3 August 2013

August 3, 2013 @thegelding Leave a comment

The Gelding’s attention is fixed on Moonee Valley today with a word of warning to punters……..the fields aren’t all that great and maybe today’s smart money is on the racing at Rosehill.

That being said, we’ll try and find some value choices that will stock the war chest for when the better fields arrive in the Spring.

Moonee Valley

Race 3 Horse 1 – The Cleaner

Race 4 Horse 5 – Love for Ransom (for the ladies at the Tennis club)

Race 5 Horse 6 – Arch Fire

Race 6 Horse 1 – Spacecraft (also for the ladies at the Tennis club)

Race 8 Horse 9 – Henwood

You can hear the Gelding discuss racing with the Professor every Sunday on Sportzfan Radio at 12.30pm on 88.3 Southern FM. The Gelding’s segment is sponsored by the Great Western Hotel.

The Gelding will also talk about the forthcoming start of Danish Rock at Geelong this week. Is it a Tuesday or Friday start?

Good luck and good punting!
