26 February 2012 236.1 – Daniel emulated Sportzfan Stan’s usual start to the show by launching his own rants, starting with Stan himself. Daniel suggested to the Professor that Stan needed to be sent to Florida if he continues to wear cardigans on 36C days. He quickly moved on to Ricky Ponting and whether he retired or was sacked by Cricket Australia. He discussed NFL and Troy Aikman’s comment that American football will not be the most popular sport in America in 10-15 years due to parents’ perceptions towards contact sports and Daniel posed the same question about the AFL. Dan Butterly returned to the show to deliver his U.S. report and rehashed the lack lustre 2012 Super Bowl. He thought the commercials were the highlight rather than the game itself and that the Peyton Manning saga overshadowed the Giants/Patriots matchup. Dan also considered questions posed by Daniel regarding Eli Manning versus Peyton Manning. With March Madness due to start, Dan’s pick for the NCAA Final Four was, Kentucky, Michigan State, Kansas and North Carolina. He also predicted some upsets caused during the tournament. Finally he looked at ‘Linsanity’ that has taken over not only New York but also the NBA. The Gelding reported on the Blue Diamond Stakes at Caulfield and the Sydney Colt’s results. Sportzfan Stan’s rant du jour was the usage of drugs in sports and the bad image caused by abusers. The panel expressed their confusion on the penalties outlined by the AFL and the lack of criminal charges for those found offending.

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Rosehill 25 February 2012
Off and running in 2012, however fortune was against us last week. Joe may be a top jockey in Singapore but fair dinkum based on his ride last week he would fall off the merry-go-round. Anyway our 2012 progress is -$150. We may have lost our money but confidence remains sky high.
Race 2 n6 LASER HAWK $170 win ‘BOBs’ with Luxbet or Centrebet. Gai has this primed to win 1st up over 1500m. Jump on.
Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Warwick Farm Saturday 18 February 2012
Ok, attention all Sydney Colt groupies and punt drunks everywhere. It is time to start the betting in 2012. We’ll keep a track of profit and losses so stay solid. All bets will be with Centrebet or Luxbet on their BOBs offer (ie best of best fluc from the bookies ring or the highest tote dividend from the 3 States).
Race 2 n2 HUSSOUSA $150 win Bobs with Centrebet or Luxbet. This is an absolute 2 horse war and our bet is fresh and ready for a 1st up kill. Our only bet.
Listen to the Professor on Sportzfan radio tomorrow for progress. We will also update here each week.
Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
Sportzfan Radio show #234.1
12 February 2012 234.1 – Paul Gamble is in the chair hosting this week’s Sportzfan Radio and the Professor, who spent the past week in the U.S. for the NFL Super Bowl, gets to sit back and just be a ‘normal’ member of the Panel. Paul Dalligan and Sportzfan Stan round out the Panel and Paul opens by talking about the ABL Grand Final between Perth Heat and Melbourne Aces. The Professor felt that the Super Bowl was anti-climatic for anyone not a New York Giants fan and was critical of the inaccurate, over-hyped coverage that the Australian news gave to the reports of Gisele Bundchen, wife of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, abusing fans. He said the post Super Bowl news buzzed with questions of whether the Colts will retain Peyton Manning, their quarterback since 1999, who is worth 23 million if they don’t cut him by the first week in March. Sportzfan Stan’s rant was on the two year suspension handed out bythe Court of Arbitration for Sport to Alberto Contador. He was also stripped of his 2010 Tour de France title after his positive test for the steroid clenbuterol. The Professor said the penalty was a farce as Contador has been competing regardless. The Gelding talks horse racing and Black Caviar’s easy win. He also reports on Danish Rock who is now in Mick Price’s stables at Caulfield and is described as a fit colt running even times. Nick Tedeschi comes on to talk NRL and his 2012 Punter’s Guide to the NRL. He is reserving his opinion on the Bulldogs at the moment. Dalligan’s “Dark Horse” for the year is the Cronulla Sharks.
Sydney Colt’s Mail for Rosehill 11 February 2012
Sydney Colt groupies will recall my post where I declared 2012 will be a year of certain profit and I will indicate what to bet on (Best Of Best odds with Luxbet or Centrebet only) and how much to bet. Our bets will be few in number but we are aiming at ensuring a profit this year.
NO BETS TODAY. The track is too wet to ask you to put your money on. I will not be betting! For Punt Drunks only consider race 1 n 2 Jade Marauder race 2 n5 You Got The Love and race 10 n8 Charing Cross e/w
Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.

Sydney Colt 21 January
With apologies to Sydney Colt groupies and Punt Drunks everywhere, there are no bets today. It is pelting rain in Sydney as I write and we had just one potential bet who needs it bone dry. Owing to other commitments there will be no bets next Saturday. Hopefully you have your Centrebet or Luxbet accounts topped up and we can fire on 4 Feb.
Looking forward to next Friday night and the return of Black Caviar.
