306 and out!

the gelding & othersAfter 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 Mar 6 2011 004about – 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 inFeb 27 2011 021 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!Feb 27 2011 007

 

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Randwick Saturday 21 September 2013

Last week Sydney Colt groupies and punt drunks everywhere had a fill up with 2 winners from 3 picks including our best of the day. Good weather and good horses are a recipe for success. The past few months have seen profits the best they have been in the past 5 years. If you are not a winning punter in 2013 you surely have been asleep at the wheel!!

Race 2 n3 ARABIAN GOLD Hoping to knock off the hot fav here. This neddy had impressive form before a spell and has trialled brilliantly in preparation for this.

Race 6 n3 SIZZLING Again we are hopeful of knocking off the fav BOBAN who won well 1st up. SIZZLING has all the favours with the weights and had to run against the bias last start.

Melb Race 7 n9 POLITENESS I don’t like stretching over the border into Gelding’s domain but it worked for us last week with a winner. I must pass on the strong tip for this neddy who has been killing them in weaker provincial company.

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

Gelding’s ‘hotties’ for 21 September 2013

Mar 13 2011 021The 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

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

Good luck and good punting!

Gelding’s ‘red hot’ tips for 14 September 2013

Mar 6 2011 010

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.

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

Moonee Valley

Race 4 Horse 1 – Atlantic Jewel (for the ladies at the Tennis club)

Race 5 Horse 1 – Moment of Change (also for the ladies at the Tennis club)

Race 6 Horse 8 – Super Cool

Race 7 Horse 1 – Clear for Action

Race 8 Horse 7 – Elite Elle

The Gelding will also have a flutter at Echuca today in Race 8 Horse 5 – Danish Rock!

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Rosehill Gardens Saturday 14 September 2013

Last week Sydney Colt groupies and punt drunks everywhere had their pockets bulging after our bet of the day won without a worry in the world. There is a bit of added pressure to make a profit today as it is wedding anniversary day and the old grey mare has her heart set on a lobster dinner with roses and champagne. The mail is NOT strong today so bet cautiously.

Race 1 n4 HOSTING Up from Melb and last start sectionals and ratings all point to this neddy.

race 8 n 10 IM IMPOSSING e/w Even Stevie Wonder saw the excellent run of this neddy last start. It surprised the stable how quickly it has come on after a long break. Each way seems a bet to nothing.

I’m getting mail from Gai’s yard that we should all be having a punt in Melb today on Race 6 n3 FIORENTE. If Gelding tips it we’ll have it as our best of the day!

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

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Randwick 7 September 2013

Spring has sprung and the track is perfect as is the Sydney weather. We are still getting psychological counselling after the jockey was fast asleep aboard our hot tip last week. Never mind, the money was lost but our confidence remains high after a couple of good months. Looks a good day for a fill up! I’m hoping Gelding in Melb picks r3 n3 KEEP COOL as I have a little mail for it. Will be near lead with little pace in the race.

Race 1 n7 SPURTONIC Has an advantage on ratings here and will likely lead. Will be very hard to run down. The best of the day.

Race 7 n2 VEYRON This neddy’s last run was no flash in the pan. Another who will be on or near the bunny. In form horse who is drawn for perfect run.

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

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Caulfield (yes Caulfield) 31 August 2013

There is bugger all mail for Rosehill today where the races are very competitive. As the Gelding is away I thought I would dip my toe into the Melb scene where I have come across enormous mail about one in the 1st race.

Caulfield Race 1 n 1 SPIRIT OF HEAVEN The mail about this neddy this morning is huge. It is black odds at present but I doubt it will last. It had no luck whatsoever last start, is a big improver and has found an easy race. I’m on big time!

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

Dalligan’s Dandies for 31 August 2013

42There 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!

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Warwick Farm 24 August 2013

In the absence of Gelding I see Dalligan is having a throw at the stumps in Sydney. Of his selections STREAMA should run 1st or 2nd and give the ladies at the tennis club good value for their buck. Meanwhile SOMEDAY is as good a chance of winning as me taking out the next Mr Universe title! The mail in Sydney today is not overly strong but it won’t stop Sydney Colt groupies and punt drunks everywhere having a go.

Race 3 n3 NO LOOKING BACK The mail gives this an enormous chance of beating the hot fav. It will be leading while the fav has to give up 5kg and a decent start.

Race 5 n3 VILANOVA I’m told this neddy has improved out of sight since running without luck in the Bris carnival. This is not a hard race to win.

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