Sydney Colt’s Mail For Rosehill Sat 13 Aug

Have been out Rosehill way this morning. Some interesting mail abounds. Confidence level today is sky high. Make Foxwedge your biggest and best bet.

Race 2 n1 FORETELLER We were on this at $6+ when it won impressively 2 weeks ago. I am told it has thrived since. Very short in betting however.

Race 4 n2 SWEETEST MELODY Won when resuming and keen judges said it had plenty of improvement in it.

Race 5 n2 FOXWEDGE I will be loading up on this neddy. Has won brilliantly 1st up previously and has trialled super. Also happens to be the best horse in the race. $2.3 available this morning with the corporate bookies. I’m salivating!

Race 6 n10 SEE THE WORLD e/w Just a little something on this neddy e/w. It has a light weight and is very fit. Double figure odds still available.

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

Sportzfan Radio 7 August 2011 #213.2

@SportzfanRadio now available on iTunes!7 August 2011 213.2 – John O’Callaghan joins the Panel and says the AFL are becoming like the AOC with their skullduggery and non accountability to stakeholders. He says Andrew Demetriou should not be running the AFL.  John cites tanking as an example and refers to Dean Bailey’s press conference during the week.  He also talks about the clear breach of the AFL rules in the signing of Phil Davis by Greater Western Sydney. Nicole Chvastek joins the Panel to talk about Dean Bailey’s revelations on tanking and the way the AFL has dealt with it. They also discuss Jeff Kennett’s comments about Garry Lyon taking on the Football Director’s role at Melbourne for only a short period of time. Paul Dalligan talks about what is happening in the world of rugby league and this week’s round of NRL matches. In addition, he discusses the article written about him by Fred Sherman that appeared on Yahoo Sports following his recent trip to see the LA Dodgers.

Sportzfan Radio 7 August 2011 #213.1

@SportzfanRadio now available on iTunes!7 August 2011 213.1 – Once again Daniel Eade is unable to join the Panel, this time through illness. The Panel start the show with a discussion on the Melbourne Football Club. Dan Butterly comes on to talk US sport highlighting the imminent start of the College football season. He thinks it is no surprise that Oklahoma is ranked number 1 in the polls. It could be a great year for people who are against the BCS system. Dan is surprised that the Air Force Academy and San Diego State are not in the top 25. He believes that if TCU were a member of one of the BCS conferences they would have been ranked higher. Dan says it is a perception thing. He thinks it is out of Luke Fickell (OSU), Mark Richt (Georgia) and Rick Neuheisel (UCLA) who will be the first College football coach sacked. Dan then looks at the NBA lockout. He thinks it is going to be a very long dispute and realistically they could lose the whole season with the owners playing hardball. Plenty of players have signed overseas agreements meaning they think it won’t be sorted out soon. The NFL has solved their problems and their lockout is over with the teams now in training camp. Dan says it will be interesting to see how the pre-season will go with only a few weeks to the first game. He finishes with a chat about injured Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez being investigated for participating in an underground poker tournament. The Gelding comes on to talk horse racing from Flemington and Randwick yesterday. The Gelding picked three winners and a placing. He also indicates Danish Rock is due for a jumpout at Caulfield on Tuesday.

Gelding’s tips for 6 August 2011

The Gelding’s attention turns to Flemington today and after a couple of wins and several near misses last week, is looking to have an even better day today on the punt!

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

Flemington

Race 3 Horse 2 – There’s Only One
Race 4 Horse 5 – Mr Griswald
Race 5 Horse 8 – Sarge in Charge
Race 6 Horse 5 – Perturbo (for the ladies at the Tennis club)
Race 7 Horse 10 – White Universe (also for the ladies at the Tennis club)

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.

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Randwick 6 August 2011

I hope you jumped on our $6.2 winner Foreteller last Saturday. Having bet on just 3 races, we more than doubled our total outlay. I usually try and limit our runners but there is a heap of mail about for tomorrow’s meeting so why not climb aboard the money train.

Race 2 n6 GLIDING e/w The Bart Cummings yard has improved this neddy since its first run. Looks a lovely e/w bet for the punt drunks

Race 4 n2 ESSENCE OF SUCCESS The Sydney Colt’s groupies will be jumping for joy to learn that Gai and Nash combine with the best rated horse in Sydney tomorrow. That’s all we need to know.

Race 5 n8 CHIVVY e/w John Hawkes was looking to keep this one quiet but some of us took the early $6.0 being offered. Strong stable support for this one.

Race 7 n6 WHISPEROSA Definitely ‘D’ day for this neddy. Absolutely butchered last week and had little luck the start before that. We have been aboard this neddy both of its last 2 starts and hopefully we can strike back tomorrow.

Race 8 n8 CRAFTY IRNA e/w Could not believe the corporate bookies opened this at $13. That price has gone but plenty of e/w value still available.

IF YOU RESPECT MONEY BET WITH THE CORPORATE BOOKIES NOT THE TAB

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

The Professor talks about using Daniel’s method of selecting horses and picked Mr Griswold for a nice collect.  The Gelding even awards an S-hit ride to Keiran McEvoy for his ride on Scarf that upset his all up bet. He also saw Danish Rock’s jump out and says the horse was a bit green and reminded him of a lawyer going to his first conference – all over the place. Glenn finishes off with a discussion on the controversy about Australian cricket contracts. Sportzfan Stan again calls for the sacking of the Australian selectors.

@SportzfanRadio now available on iTunes!31 July 2011 212.1 – Sportzfan Stan starts the show ripping the Melbourne FC saying they are a ‘team of the past’ and don’t deserve to be in the AFL. He doesn’t think Dean Bailey should be sacked though and that Melbourne should wait until the end of the season before making a move. Daniel Eade comes on to talk about the NBA lockout – he thinks games will definitely be lost and playing won’t commence until December at the earliest, the chances of Patrick Mills playing in the NBL this season and the coming international matches between the Boomers & Opals and New Zealand at the Cage. He also talks ice hockey with the AIHL finals to be played in Melbourne on 3 -4 September.

Glenn Hampson makes his debut as a member of the Sportzfan Radio panel and joins the discussion on Alberto Contador.
