03 October 2010 173.2 – Mark Fiorenti tells the Panel that he has deserted Melbourne Heart and is jumping back on the Melbourne Victory bandwagon. Via twitter, our US listeners indicated they had not caught up with the change to daylight saving in Australia and missed the start of the show. Daniel talks about the NBL pre-season matches being played in Darwin and the Panel query why the games are hidden so far away from the rest of the population. He also talks about NBL games being over 40 minutes instead of 48 minutes and gives an example to prove his point that less is less when people want more. Stan thinks the NBL is on its last legs. Paul Dalligan is in Sydney to watch the NRL Grand Final and is pleased it is an all Sydney affair. He also gets to see his beloved Rabbitohs play in the Under 20’s. The Professor says that if St George score more than 15 then that might be curtains for the Roosters. The Panel talks to Lisa Szatsznajder from the VIS about VIS athletes who will be competing at the Delhi Commonwealth Games. She thinks the Aussies will go well and should win at least as many medals as they did in Melbourne four years ago. Daniel thinks Richmond’s player list is better than Essendon’s whilst Stan thinks James Hird has the job ahead of him as coach of Essendon. Daniel “tries” to sing the Collingwood theme song and Sean talks about his shimmy versus the Didak shimmy. He also thinks Julie Anthony should be wheeled out each year to sing the National Anthem.
Sydney Colt's Mail For 9 October
Baked beans on toast was all we could afford after last Saturday’s racing. The bookies were the only ones sighted at the best of Sydney’s restaurants. Mail light for Rosehill today so we may have to back some of the Melbourne good things today.
ROSEHILL
Race 5 n1 GRIFFON ($3.3) Back in distance will suit and I’m reliably informed this neddy has been smart in its work.
Race 8 n12 HONEST LIES e/w ($12.0) One at great odds. 1st up today after being gelded and the mail is the trial form is worthy of an investment.
CAULFIELD
Race 5 n6 SO YOU THINK ($1.5) Very short odds but looks a case of bookies giving money away.
Race 6 n1 MORE JOYOUS ($2.6) Luxbet bet $4.0 yesterday (limit $100 bet) as a promotion proving another reason to bet with corporate bookies and not your local TAB. My mail says Gai’s neddy has settled well in Melb and according to the ratings has a mountain of CLASS on this lot.
Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
Gelding's tips for Caulfield 9 October 2010
The Gelding’s attention this Saturday is on his home track at Caulfield with the sun shining and the track in good condition, it should be a great day of racing.
As always the tips are on an each way and all up basis.
Caulfield
Race 3 Horse 2 – Precedence (for quinella fans also take Horse 3 Moudre)
Race 5 Horse 6 – So You Think (for quinella fans also take Horse 2 Whobegotyou)

The Gelding also likes Horse 6 in Race 4 Black Caviar but the odds are prohibitive for punters.
One special for the ladies from the Tennis club this week is at Pakenham when the Gelding’s own horse Queen Asa (Race 5 Horse 5) is a good thing.

Good luck and good punting.

03 October 2010 173.1 – The show starts off with the Panel discussing the AFL Grand Final replay and talk about Sean Callanan’s shimmy caught on camera at the GF (http://j.mp/bKJVwu) which even attracted tweets. The Panel try to decide whether Julie Anthony or Lionel Ritchie were better. Daniel wonders whether Julie was “limp” synching. We talk with Marie Baker about US sport particularly whether the ultimate games in sport should be replayed or subject to extra time.

Sydney Colt's Mail For Randwick 2 October
Be careful today. Tough races, rain coming and the mail is only even.
Race 3 n6 PURPLE We have reliable mail which indicates they will ride this more positively today. Expect this neddy to improve from recent outings.
Race 4 n4 SLATER Clock watchers were salivating at the sectional times this one ran in winning last time out. A repeat is expected.
Race 8n13 FIREBOLT e/w This is the hardest race of the day but ratings and a strong lead from a pro punter dictate that this neddy must be backed today. Its last win was sensational.
Race 10 n4 VINTEGE e/w Well placed today and our ratings man says it is an e/w must bet.
GO THE MIGHTY DRAGONS ON SUNDAY!!!
Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
Sportzfan Radio #172.2
26 September 2010 172.2 – Mordiboy thinks this is a great chance for the AFL to play a night Grand Final. The Professor suggests the AFL could use Mark Seymour for entertainment at the GF replay. Paul says if they used INXS again, ‘New Sensation’ would be ‘Old Sensation’. The ‘F’ word is worried that the first A-League Melbourne soccer derby between Victory and Hearts is going up against the AFL Grand Final replay. He thinks 20,000 will be there to see the game and tips a draw. Mark has jumped off the Heart bandwagon and is heading back to the Victory. In Premier League Mark was surprised Arsenal lost at home to West Brom, shocked Liverpool lost mid week in the Carling Cup and doesn’t look good for Everton on the bottom of the League. Paul talks NRL with the preliminary finals having been completed with the Sydney Roosters belting the Gold Coast Titans and St George getting over Wests Tigers. He will be at the Grand Final next week via a ticket from a friend from another team. Sean joins in from the Royal Show and discusses the problems created for Collingwood and St Kilda by the Grand Final replay and was thrilled to be at his first ‘live’ Grand Final. He also discusses the Commonwealth Games problems in Delhi. Daniel believes if security can’t be improved they should be called off. Paul worries that Todd Carney may miss the Grand Final due to a high tackle. Stan thinks he will get off though as contact was first in the chest region.

26 September 2010 172.1 – The Gelding starts the program with an impersonation of Stan. The Panel then gets into a discussion of the drawn AFL Grand Final and the ramifications of the replay. Daniel says the AFL should give 45,000 tickets to each competing Club. Will there be another Grand Final parade? will there be another Footy Show? will there be different Gtand Finals replayed in the all night marathon? Dan Butterly tells Paul Dalligan he couldn’t watch cricket for five days with no result. Dan also talks MLB pennant race he thinks the Seattle Mariners will probably lose 100 games even with the roster thay have and feels the Yankees will make the World Series again. In NFL, Dan looks at Michael Vick’s re-emergance as a starting quarterback with the Philadelphia Eagles and he thinks Brett Favre is regretting coming back. The Professor discusses last week’s Michigan State trick play to beat Notre Dame in overtime. In NBA, Dan thinks Carmelo Anthony will be traded to the New Jersey Nets within the next 48 hours. The Gelding takes pride in the fact that he and the Sydney Colt from 9 selections at both Moonee Valley and Randwick had a return of 6 winners and 2 thirds. The Panel don’t necessarily agree with the Gelding that you can have a “good seventh” in a race with nine runners. The Panel also agrees that Dr Leslie’s CSA seems to have taken up a permanent position after the racing segment.
Gelding's tips for 24 September 2010
With the Grand Final on tomorrow, the Gelding’s attention turns to Friday night racing at Moonee Valley tonight as there is no city meeting tomorrow.
As always the tips are on an each way and all up basis.

Race 3 Horse 1 Spacecraft
Race 5 Horse 3 Precedence (for the girls at the Tennis club)
Race 6 Horse 6 Haywire (also for the girls at the Tennis club)

Sydney Colt's Mail For Saturday 25 September
We are posting early as the smell of the stables beckons bright and early on Saturday morning. Two of our four selections are fav so astute betting is required. PLEASE, if you have any respect for money, bet with the corporate bookies and not your local betting agency.
Race 4 n1 DECISION TIME Won impressively for us last time. I’m told it is still on ‘the up’. Can knock off the fav here and is great value.
Race 6 n8 MORE JOYOUS We have been on this girl at her 2 wins this preparation. Is an absolute star and worthy of being the day’s anchor bet. Get on!
Race 7 n11 PURENESS e/w Underrated galloper who is very tenacious and retains fitness. Will be right in the finish of this race and great value e/w.
Race 8 n13 KISS FROM A ROSE Our mail was spot on with this neddy last start and we got the cash. Word from the track indicates it has improved. The opposition need help against this one.
Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
