Gelding’s tips for 6 November 2010

Leave a comment

The Gelding’s attention tomorrow is still on Flemington with the final day of the Cup Carnival.  With the weather looking to be fine, the roses will be in full bloom and the horses should be running true to form.

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

Flemington

Race 3 Horse 3 – Red Calossus
Race 5 Horse 6 – Black Caviar (for the ladies at the Tennis club)
Race 7 Horse 14 – Zantelagh
Race 9 Horse 3 – We’re Gonna Rock (also for the ladies at the Tennis club)

Don’t forget that the horse the Gelding has an interest in, Queen Asa is running at Cranbourne on Sunday.

Good luck and good punting!

Race 7 n6 Star Leader – I am told it is ready today. A pro punter mate has already jumped in.

1 Comment

There is only one place for the Gelding’s attention tomorrow and that is VRC headquarters which sees the 150th running of the Melbourne Cup.

Hopefully the rain will stay away and the punters can enjoy some wonderful racing with the quality horses that will be running.

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

Flemington

Race 2 Horse 3 – Aloha
Race 7 Horse 3 – So You Think (for the ladies from the Tennis club) – from Horse 1 Shocking & Horse 11 Descarado
Race 8 Horse 10 – Hidden Wonder
Race 9 Horse 6 – True Persuasion
Race 10 Horse 1 – Balavan (also for the ladies from the Tennis club)

To those who follow the horse I have an interest in, Queen Asa, it did not run at Kilmore on Sunday as the meeting was cancelled due to the wet track.

As always good luck and good punting!

Sydney Colt’s Mail For 30 October

1 Comment

Today we have a real GOOD THING at Flemington to bet on. This is such a certainty I’m not going to muddy the waters with other lesser mail. Hope you joined me for a fill up last week. Our only losing race was owing to the neddy having a bleeding attack and now banned from racing in Aus.

Flemington R1 n1 SKILLED I am told by the pros this neddy could not possibly have won last start when it competed in a speed dual. Hence, a jockey change today is a ++. With an uninterrupted preparation SKILLED would have been one of the favs for the Caulfield Guineas and is a ratings certainty here. On Thursday and Friday I placed 4 individual bets for a pro punter at $3.2, $3.1, $3.0 and $2.9. It is now shorter than that. WILL WIN!!!

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

The Gelding’s attention turns to VRC headquarters this week for the Cup Carnival.  Unfortunately, it looks like being a bit wet overnight and tomorrow so punters make sure you take note of weather conditions and the horses that like the wet track.

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

Flemington

Race 2 Horse 8 – Moudre
Race 5 Horse 6 – So You think (for the ladies at the Tennis club)
Race 6 Horse 1 – Retrieve
Race 7 Horse 2 – Typhoon Tracey (also for the ladies at the Tennis club)

The Gelding’s horse Queen Asa is also running at Kilmore in Race 4 on Sunday.

Good luck and good punting!

Sydney Colt's Mail For Rosehill & MV 23 Oct

Leave a comment

If you don’t punt today you don’t know how to enjoy yourself. I think we can be devouring lobster for dinner tonight with a couple of winners as told to me by 2 pro punters and a ratings expert.

ROSEHIL

Race 1 n2 KARUTA QUEEN Won its only start and had plenty of improvement left. Start the day with a winner!

Race 5 n2 KANZAN e/w Is one of the better rated horses at Rosehill today and is great e/w value.

Race 6 n2 ROTHESAY No surprise here as every man and his dog is tipping this neddy. This galloper has a ton of class on this ordinary field.

MOONEE VALLEY

Race 6 n7 REKINDLED INTEREST Those who know racing far better than me say, its great run in the Caulfield Guineas is superior form for this lot.

Race 7 n2 PRECEDENCE Some astute pro punters have jumped in early to back this neddy. I’m following their lead.

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

The Gelding’s attention this week is on the Cox Plate meeting at Moonee Valley where he hopes the overnight rain has not affected the track too much.

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

Moonee Valley

Race 3 Horse 5 – Multahem
Race 4 Horse 12 – Firebolt
Race 5 Horse 6 – Black Caviar (for the girls at the Tennis club)
Race 7 Horse 2 – Precedence

Good luck and good punting!

@SportzfanRadio now available on iTunes!17 October 2010 175.2 – Dr Leslie comes on and cleans up after the Gelding’s weather forecast and racing segment – stool gazing indeed! The Professor explains that the Sydney Colt was unable to be on the show this week due to an illness and increases the intrigue when he passes on that the Colt and Stan have never been on the same show together – like Clark Kent and Superman. The Panel welcomes Nicole Chvastek back to the show. Mark Fiorenti discusses the creativity and passion of A-League soccer and the Newcastle Jets gaining more funding under Nathan Tinkler. There is also discussion of the ever increasing debts of Manchester United and Liverpool and the foreign ownership of EPL clubs. Nicole talks about the interest or lack thereof in the Commonwealth Games and the many countries/athletes not competing at the Games,  Daniel says it was good to hear that Australia picked up a late gold medal in the ‘Throwing the washing machine out the window’ event.  Nicole observed “Well done those Aussies”.  Nicole also discussed the legitimacy of naming AFL players even though they had not been charged with an offence.  Paul Dalligan talks with the Panel about the Rugby League Four Nations tournament with the marquee match between Australia and England at AAMI stadium.  He thinks that the first game between Australia and Papua/New Guinea is like the Aussies playing the Wesley College Old Boys.  In a heads up, Paul has heard Jonathan Thurstons may be heading to the Parramatta Eels.  The Panel finish off with a discussion of Australian cricket and Ricky Ponting.  Is Shane Warne too old to come back?  Finally, Daniel asks the Professor which number comes after 248.  Strangely it is 250, as apparently Daryl Corletto played his 250th game after his 248th.

@SportzfanRadio now available on iTunes!17 October 2010 175.1 – The show starts with the Professor asking the Gelding whether the Caulfield Cup race meeting should have been postponed because of the bad weather. Stan tells Daniel that in the season opening NBL match the Melbourne Tigers were hopeless. This then prompts a discussion of the Tigers players. In the US report this week Susan Shan talks about Brett Favre and alleged problematic texts and emails to a NY Jets female employee.  San Francisco 49ers are her surprise due to their poor showing in the NFL season so far.  In MLB she thinks Cliff Lee is beatable but not likely during the post season.  She thinks the Phillies and Rangers will make it through to the World Series whilst the Cubs and Cardinals were the biggest busts of the 2010 season.  She doesn’t think Bobby Valentine will be going back to the Mets any time soon.  The Gelding discusses the Caulfield Cup day races and observes Chris Munce is one of only seven jockeys who have won the Big 4 – Melbourne Cup, Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and Golden Slipper.  The Professor calls it the ‘Grand Slam’ of racing.  Gelding awards an ‘S-Hit’ ride to the jockey of Shocking who he says should have won easily.  The Professor and the Gelding again talk about their interest in Danish Rock.

Sydney Colt's Mail For 16 October 2010

Leave a comment

We got back to eating well after a nice day on the punt last Saturday. Today is tricky. The mail is very light in Sydney and the heavy Caulfield track will only likely attract the punt drunks amongst us. I have some good mail for Caulfield but will punt lightly. Sydney Colt’s groupies should follow suit.

RANDWICK

Race 6 n10 OUR BILLY BOY e/w My mail says this horse has trialled well enough to be a big chance 1st up. Nicely placed and backed e/w is great value. This neddy has already firmed with the corporate bookies.

CAULFIELD

Race 2 n1 SKILLED Our ratings man rang me to say this was the best placed horse anywhere today. Track is a query but I’m already on. Join me.

Race5 n4 SOUL This neddy is a swimmer. What more needs to be said? Only that one of Sydney’s biggest punters has let rip.

Race 10 n20 VARENNA MISS Those of us in the know waited 12 months to back this midweek 10 days ago where it trotted in. This one has outstanding potential and I’m willing to risk the track.

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