Daniel Eade discusses the upcoming AIHL finals to be played at the Ice House. The Professor and Daniel talk about slow ice/fast ice (originally a topic raised by Dan Butterly) and which one suits the Melbourne Ice.

Sportzfan Radio 7 August 2011 #213.1
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.

He also talks ice hockey with the AIHL finals to be played in Melbourne on 3 -4 September. Sportzfan Stan looks at performance enhancing drugs in sport again and the prevalence of their use. Glenn Hampson makes his debut as a member of the Sportzfan Radio panel and joins the discussion on Alberto Contador.

The Gelding
Daniel Eade’s tips for 23 July 2011
I feel like the Hickory basketball team from the movie ‘Hoosiers’, going up against the unbeatable South Bend! In this case, this is me taking on the more experienced and knowledgeable Gelding.
Yes, the Gelding has his way of picking horses. He likes to study the form guide.
I prefer to bet on horses that have a name I can relate to, be it a name that has a reference to basketball, Collingwood, a favourite movie or a quality TV show.
For my maiden voyage into the world of the ‘non-expert tipster’, I have only made one selection.
Flemington
Race 4 horse 4 – Johnny Drama
The horse has good and bad form – either won two previous races or finished 11th in his last race.
For those who are not fans of the TV show ‘Entourage’, Johnny Drama is Vincent Chase’s brother. The show revolves around the success and ups and downs of Chase’s career as an actor and his entourage. Drama, his brother, is also an actor but far less successful and never willing to settle for anything but what he believes is the best for him and his career.
I suggest a $1.00 the win because if it comes second or third it really lost.
