Sportzfan Radio show #226.1

@SportzfanRadio now available on iTunes!13 November 2011 226.1 – Due to a technical glitch at Southern FM with the logger we come in during the US report with the Panel speaking with Dan Butterly about the huge story developing at Penn State University and the sacking of football coach Joe Paterno. Also to lose their jobs were the University’s President and Athletic Director over the sex abuse charges laid against former Penn State defensive co-ordinator Jerry Sandusky. Is it co-incidence that Paterno became the winningest coach in NCAA Div 1A last week and the scandal broke this week? Dan encourages those who want to know more to read the Grand Jury testimony.  He also discusses the NBA lockout and feels if things keep going the way they are there will be no winners and no losers. Dan thinks there will not be a season as the owners aren’t worried if there is no season. Finally, Dan reviews the tip off of the College basketball season with the opening game pitting UNC against Michigan State played on an aircraft carrier on Veteran’s Day. The Gelding talks racing and reviews both his selections at Sandown and the Sydney Colt’s Rosehill tips. Sportzfan Radio tipsters picked 6 placings including 2 winners from 7 selections. Sportzfan Stan asks the Gelding how Danish Rock’s preparation is going but the Gelding says it will be a while before he races again. The Professor has trouble playing Dr Leslie’s community service announcement and the Gelding questions whether she may have fallen off her stool.

The Gelding’s tips for 12 November 2011

The Gelding’s attention turns to Sandown today and its Hillside track. With the weather improving, it promises to be a great Zipping Classic day.

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

Sandown

Race 2 Horse 3 – Miss Stellabelle
Race 5 Horse 9 – Under the Eiffel
Race 6 Horse 1 – Americain (for the ladies at the Tennis club)
Race 7 Horse 1 – Galah (also for the ladies at the Tennis club)
Race 9 Horse 13 – Yavanna

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.

Good luck and good punting!

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Rosehill Tomorrow 12 November 2011

Last week I mentioned I was heading to early morning trackwork. Well, in advance of tomorrow I picked up mail for 2 of Gai’s and I will be on both “best of the best” with the corporate bookies. For those who have been asleep at the wheel, “best of the best” offers you the best dividend out of the 3 state TABs or the best fluc at the track. All you need do is put your money on up to 40 mins before the race. Both Luxbet and Centrebet offer “best of the best”. Anyway, I’ll be back at trackwork in the morning. Get on Gai’s pair tomorrow.

Race 1 n7 KUCHINSKAYA

Race 6 n7 EMBARASSED

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

Sportzfan Radio show #225.2

@SportzfanRadio now available on iTunes!6 November 2011 225.2 – Mark Fiorenti discusses his pre-season predictions against how the placings are on the current A-League ladder. He says he’ll do a mid season review to compare placings at that time with his earlier predictions. Mark reviews the Melbourne Victory draw with Brisbane Roar and says it is the best live game he has seen this season. He also looks at the Premier League results and says Arsenal has turned its season around in the last few weeks. The Panel then talk about boxing and in particular the world bantam weight title fight being screened on free to air television on 7 mate between Darchinyan and Moreno. Sportzfan Stan says it is a brutal sport and nothing is gained by watching two men try to knock each others brains out. They then discuss Ricky Nixon’s attempted venture back into player management. Paul Dalligan comes on to talk rugby league and the four nations tournament. He is also worried that Russell Crowe may not continue his support of the Rabbitohs. Daniel Eade talks basketball with the Panel and the Melbourne Tigers getting back on the winners list in the NBL. He also talks about ONE HD showing matches at 1.30am in the morning and says it must be programming for security guards. Daniel then looks at the NBA negotiations and says it is quite possible the entire season could be lost. The Professor and the Gelding talk about their love of the Great Western Hotel as a place to have a production meeting. The Panel finally look at the International Series and believe that to survive the games need to be more than just an after thought and they wonder why the best players aren’t playing.

Sportzfan Radio show #225.1

@SportzfanRadio now available on iTunes!6 November 2011 225.1 – The Panel discuss the Spring Carnival at Flemington. Sportzfan Stan talks about cricket and in particular penalties for match fixing following on the conviction of three Pakistani cricketers. The Gelding talks about how short a price Black Caviar started at on Saturday and the Professor asks whether it is easier to pick a winner in the off season than during the Spring Carnival. The Professor says he is being followed on twitter by the ‘Little Red Pocket’, a sophisticated Japanese Cocktail Lounge. The Gelding and the Professor are going to check it out during the week. There is also a discussion about Shane Warne playing for the Southern Stars in 20/20 cricket and the Professor asks whether signing a forty plus player is good for cricket. The Gelding analyses the Emirates Stakes Day results at Flemington and also results ats Randwick. There is also a discussion about where Danish Rock is in its preparation for its next start. Mark Fiorenti comes on to discuss soccer and starts with a review of Melbourne Heart’s current form.

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Randwick Tomorrow 5 Nov 2011

Off to early morning trackwork tomorrow so getting some early mail posted for my groupies and fellow punt drunks.

Randwick

Race 2 n5 SHADOW LINE e/w Well in on ratings and not a hard race. Nice each way bet to get us going.

Race 3 n5 DRIEFONTEIN The pros tell me that going on trial form this is easy money. Jump on!

Race 7 n8 YURRAPENDI e/w Cummings horse with potential. I jumped on at $21 e/w. Will have a saver tomorrow on BOUND TO BLUSH who has been very impressive.  

Race 8 n3 ROSIE’S REWARD (will have 70% of my stake on this neddy) and n11 TONK (will have 30% of my stake on this one). Between them they should control the tempo up front.

Flemington

I am told by a ratings nut that I must back two horses in Race 4 who equally have a break on this field and they are both $6.0+. So, I’ll be splitting my bet 50/50 on n1 AMAH ROCK and n2 MAHISARA

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

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Melbourne Cup Day

Good luck to all the ‘once a year’ punters and those, like myself, who are referred to as ‘punt drunks’. It is not easy making a profit on the cup so I suggest a few dollars on some neddies who have been tipped to me either by a pro punter or our ever reliable ratings man.

Flemington

Race 5 n2 KARUTA QUEEN Very short price but it is hard to see this getting beaten. Ran 2nd to the mighty Black Caviar, then won with a leg in the air at its next outing.

Race 6 n2 COMBAT KITTY Only 3 hopes of winning in this race and our neddy is the best rated.

Race 7 (the cup) 1ST: AMERICAIN  2nd: NIWOT  3RD:   GLASS HARMONIUM 4TH: MOURAYAN 5TH: DUNADEN

Race 9 n11 PARABLES Will finish this off at a 100 miles an hour. Prepared to the minute to win this

Randwick

Race 6 n2 SAN ZAIM (65% of race outlay) and n8 SONG AND ROSES (35% of race outlay) On ratings these 2 combined offer the best value in Sydney all day.

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

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Rosehill 29 October

Unless you are a punt drunk or a Sydney Colt groupie you shouldn’t bet on Sydney as it is a rough day. Have some mail for a $34 horse today. A lounge chair, TVN’s coverage of Flemington and an online account with a corporate bookie is the go.

Race 7 n4 MERCONMAN e/w ($34w $9p) I have taken the quoted prices with Sportsbet (also available with IAS) this morning. This neddy has trialled well and worth a few bob e/w. If it flukes the win I will be able to pay off Greece’s national debt

Race 8n8 LIGHTINTHENITE ($4.0) My only query here is that the connections have left Christian Reith on board. His last ride, when the neddy was the subject of a national plunge (and my biggest bet of the year), bordered on criminal. He chased the tearaway leader in sectional times that made it completely impossible for the horse to have any chance. Any repeat will see Christian fed to the lions!!

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