Gelding’s tips for 4 August 2012

The Gelding’s attention is on Moonee Valley today, the first time in four months that a Saturday meeting is held at this wonderful racecourse. Plenty of chances in today’s races to top up the war chest.

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

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Canterbury 4 August

Last week saw us gain a handy win of $104 which brought our 2012 winnings to +$1184. Today we welcome Gai back to Saturday racing after an O/S venture. Sydney Colt groupies and punt drunks everywhere know how much we love Gai’s stable. We have some mail for a couple of her runners today so watch out for racing’s first lady!

Race 1 n1 RAMPAGING $250 win (BOBs). We are told this neddy is finally fit and is racing at a suitable distance. Expecting this to lead all the way!

Race 3 n1 DE SHAMEKH $200 place (best of 3 totes) Trials leading into this have only been fair but has apparently improved a ton on the track. Nash should get a lovely run behind the pace.

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

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Warwick Farm 28 July 2012

Confident we can add to our $1000+ profit in 2012 with bets in 2 races today for Sydney Colt groupies. Warwick Farm wont scare punt drunks. No rain this week!

Race 3 n5 She’s A Fox $160 win (BOBs) and n8 Kristy Lee $40 win (BOBs). I would double my bet on SAF but the barrier has me a little concerned. I’m told KL has gone great on the track since an impressive trial.

Race 5 n1 HAPPY HUSSY $140 win (BOBs). Its called class, class and more class. Very well placed on ratings and been racing in good form races.

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

Gelding’s tips for 21 July 2012

The Gelding’s attention is on Flemington today with the track having plenty of give after a cool, wet week in Melbourne. Hopeful that the selected horses will have some ‘ping’ over the last 400 metres.

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Warwick Farm 14 July 2012

Last week’s results leaves us with a 2012 profit of $1400. Looking to lift our game this week. I’m happy with the mail but detest betting at Warwick Farm during winter. The plus is that the rain has mainly stayed away this week. Remember to bet BOBs with Luxbet and Betstar. Centrebet have removed their BOBs option – BOO!!!

Race 1 n2 HENDRICUS $140 win BOBs Nothing like starting the day with a Nash ride. This neddy was given no hope last start, is up to its pet distance and is third up. All guns blazing on this one.

Race 2 n4 TURNLEY $100 place (best of 3 totes with corporates) A good judge was impressed how this one beat older horses at its first attempt. Great place value.

Race 3 n3 MISS SPOKEN $80 place (best of 3 totes with corporates) Had no hope last start and will get the run of the race here. At time of posting it is $16 with the corporate bookies. Value.

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

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Rosehill Saturday 7 July 2012

Some rain around today after a wet Friday night. Winter is not a good recipe for backing winners. Last week we took a step backwards and our 2012 profit is at $1543. Have had a long morning ringing around the traps and annoying people for a leg up. Only 1 “interest” bet today.

Race 2 n3 NIKODY $25 win (BOBs) $118 place (best of 3 totes with corporates). This odd betting amount will help balance the account 🙂 This neddy will not mind mud pies for lunch.

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