The Gelding’s attention is divided into three today with interests in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. The great unknowns are the tracks. At Caulfield racing has been all over the place lately
and at Scone…..who knows the race pattern.
As always the bets are on an each way and all up basis.
Caulfield
Race 1 Horse 5 – Raw Impulse (also for the ladies at the Tennis club)
Race 2 Horse 1 – Blue Tycoon
Race 8 Horse 7 – Belesron
Scone
Race 5 Horse 1 – Spill the Beans
Race 6 Horse 2 – Music Magnate
Race 7 Horse 8 – Peace Force
Doomben
Race 7 Horse 11 – Japaniese (also for the ladies at the Tennis club)
Good luck and good punting!
The Gelding
It was interesting to hear Eddie Maguire had considered giving up the Collingwood presidency after last weeks loss to Carlton. I am 
glad he didn’t resign and while I am quite prepared to criticise Eddie, I must say he is not only good for Collingwood, I think he is also good for football. He has a profile which goes beyond Melbourne and beyond football. Once he does give up the Collingwood presidency, the AFL should have a think about how they could use him to promote football. A bit like getting Kevin Sheedy to be the inaugural coach of GWS, there would be a role somewhere there for “Eddie Everywhere”.
Mick Malthouse suggest that he thought that Collingwood was on the verge of a mini-dynasty when he left. From what I have heard there has been no support for this assertion. While I consider that they may have 
done better in 2012 with Mick than Bucks, that does not constitute a mini-dynasty. Mick obviously subscribed to the Richmond/Hafey/Sheedy philosophy that every team needs a few mavericks and it just a matter of how you manage them. Buckley obviously does not subscribe to that philosophy and got rid of some of the players that would have kept them up there longer.
The Gelding’s attention is split today between Flemington and Rosehill and after a reasonable day on the punt last week he is looking to improve today.
vulnerable as we found out in the Newmarket Handicap, but there is no doubt that he is the best sprinter in the world at the moment. It is a bit of a shame that he didn’t pull up well enough to go to England to race at Ascot, but I fully appreciate the reasoning behind the decision not to race there.
wooden spoon in 1976 and then lost the Grand Final the following year in the replay, but even a win such as that may not have been as monumental. Leicester City faced relegation last year and overcame the odds to win this year and the EPL very much favours the wealthy clubs. What has been lost a bit in the celebrations is that Tottenham were the only side left to put pressure on the Foxes and they are certainly not fixtures in the top four of the EPL. If Leicester City was 5,000-1 to win the League, what price was the quinella?
