Sydney Colt’s Mail For Warwick Farm 17 December 2011

Leave a comment

Last Saturday gave us a small profit with 1 winner from 2 bets. The mail is not strong today but we’ll do our best to extract a few dollars from the corporate bookies with some e/w value bets.

Race 4 n5 SHAWNEE GIRL e/w Is well placed on best form and e/w seems a great way to finish ahead.

Race 5 n3 RAREFIED Well found in the market but does look better than the opposition. My only concern is damn Warwick Farm. I dislike Saturday meetings here.

Race 6 n10 FIBRILLATION e/w I am already on at $12.0 with the corporate bookies. Has been well backed by those who realised how well placed it is on ratings.

Race 8 n11 JACKPOT QUEEN e/w Could not believe they posted $8.0 early about this neddy. Good fresh horse who is well placed against this lot.

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

@SportzfanRadio now available on iTunes!11 December 2011 230.2 – Mark continues talking soccer and Melbourne Heart’s recent good form. He doesn’t think Brisbane Roar are in crisis after two losses in a row but they may have peaked too early. In the Premier League he has had to re-evaluate Arsenal’s form and thinks he’ll have to eat humble pie about his early season prediction. He doesn’t think they’ll beat Manchester City this week though. Mark was up early to watch the Real Madrid/Barcelona match and says it sets the stage for an interesting finish to the La Liga season. Dr Leslie’s CSA on before the Gelding this week. The Gelding talks horse racing and before he looks at how his selections and the Sydney Colt’s fared, Sportzfan Stan wants to discuss the arsenic doping case with him. Sportzfan Stan is pleased when the Professor advises the Ladies from the Tennis Club have also invited him to their Christmas function. The Gelding tells the Panel that Danish Rock is in pre-training for a February 2012 campaign. Daniel talks MLB and the Milwaukee Brewers’ Ryan Braun testing positive for a performance enhancing drug and facing a 50 game suspension. Paul Dalligan has a brief look at tennis and says Aussie youth tennis stocks seem to be improving. The Professor and Paul discuss what is happening in rugby league and Manly have their first five games away from home. They also talk about Will Hopoate leaving on a two year mission for the Mormons and Paul Gallen winning back to back Harry Sunderland medals. Daniel finishes with a look at the NBL and the Age publishing the Melbourne Tigers beat the Cairns Taipans but in fact, the Taipans won. He thinks the Tigers may struggle to make the playoffs now with five teams fighting for two spots.

@SportzfanRadio now available on iTunes!4 December 2011 229.1 – The Panel start with a look at the first test against New Zealand. Daniel also reviews the Melbourne Tigers recent performances and says with the game on the line in the last four matches, they couldn’t get it done. The Gelding queries whether they are missing Patty Mills already. Dan Butterly comes on to discuss US sport talking College football including who will qualify for the National championship and the other BCS bowls. Once again Dan argues that there should be a playoff in College football. He also looks at the coaching carousel with a number of Colleges firing their football coaches and says it’s not good to be a coach at this time of year. Dan says Tim Tebow is a winner and Tebowmania has overtaken Denver. He thinks the Packers can run the table and sees the Colts going 0-16. The Professor and Dan discuss the bid by Jerry Kramer’s daughter to have him admitted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Professor learned about it on Twitter. Dan says it is an amazing story and he encourages the fans to learn more about the cause and Kramer’s career. Dan thinks Bobby Valentine’s hiring to coach the Red Sox is a great one. The Gelding talks racing and reviews both his selections and the Sydney Colts. Unfortunately for the Gelding his tips were just off the mark with four seconds. He awards an s-hit ride to Danny Nikolic for his ride on Starchine. Sportzfan Stan is upset that the Gelding has been invited to the Ladies at the Tennis club’s Christmas party but he hasn’t. Mark Fiorenti talks A-League soccer and says the Melbourne Victory are a ‘little bit’ back in crisis. The Professor reviews Mark’s pre-season ladder predictions, especially Adelaide on top and the Newcastle Jets on the bottom.

@SportzfanRadio now available on iTunes!27 November 2011 228.1 – Due to another technical glitch, we lost the first few minutes of the show but we come in with the Sports Geek, Sean Callanan talking sports digital and social media with sports personalities in the news for the wrong reasons like Jabar Gaffney and Josh Hunt. Aston Kutcher also had problems tweeting on sports. Sean comments that the AFL draft looked terrible and was a missed opportunity. The Gelding is back to talk horse racing after his week off and returned to form even though the Sandown track was very heavy. Sportzfan Stan has umbrage that the Professor cut him short to take the Gelding’s call and says he takes a dim view of that but refrains from sacking anyone. Stan talks cricket and says it appears the selectors have got rid of most of the dead wood although he hasn’t heard of the new players selected for Australia.

Leave a comment

The Gelding is back at his home track at Caulfield today and is confident that his selections will provide some winners for the Sportzfan Radio punters. He will need to be good as his running mate, the Sydney Colt, has been in outstanding form over the last two weeks.

The Gelding suggests you also take the Colt’s tips in a multi with his own for what would provide an early Christmas bonus.

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

Caulfield

Race 1 Horse 4 – Starchine
Race 3 Horse 7 – Elusive King
Race 4 Horse 3 – Our Pride and Joy (for the ladies at the Tennis club)
Race 6 Horse 1 – Catapulted (also for the ladies at the Tennis club)
Race 8 Horse 2 – Shadow Fax

You can hear the Gelding discuss racing with the Professor every Sunday on Sportzfan Radio at 12.30pm on 88.3 Southern FM.  The Gelding’s segment is sponsored by the Great Western Hotel.

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Rosehill 3 December 2011

Leave a comment

Winner winner lobster dinner! 2 weeks ago 1 tip for 1 winner. Last week 2 tips for 2 winners including We Betcha paying $10.20 win and $4.10 place with the corporate bookies. Were you on or were you asleep at the wheel? Not too much mail around for today but will be happy to snare a winner from 2 of gai’s runners.

Race 2 n6 SINDARIN Our ratings man said I would be a mug not to tip this to the Sydney Colt groupies. Has about 2kg on the field based on ratings and Snowden has it ready.

Race 5 n4 MISS MARX Won first up last preparation at this course and distance. Is a good ‘fresh’ horse and I’m told has trialled well.

Race 6 n1 KING LIONHEART Similar to MISS MARX this neddy also won first up last preparation at this course and distance. This is a group horse with a ton of class and tenacity.

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

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Canterbury Tomorrow 26 November

Leave a comment

We got the lot last weekend with some firsthand mail from the track. Put me in a good mood to catch up with the Professor and Gelding during my week in sunny Melbourne. Thank you boys the company was sensational as was the feed of lobster and accompanying red.

Many thanks also to the great people at the Great Western Hotel. There is no better watering hole in Melbourne.

Can somebody tell me why some crown patrons bet on the $5 roulette wheel with both 0 and 00 while the table next to them has a single 0 and pays the same odds? I had to check to see if the cameras were rolling and the whole charade was a candid camera show. Unbloody believable!!

Canterbury Race 1 n5 DON’T BLINK I think this neddy can knock off LYRIC who is the odds on fav. DON’T BLINK has been going great guns at the track after 2 nice trial wins. An impressive animal up close.

Race 8 n14 WE BETCHA e/w This neddy has a few good ones to get past but my mail says Chris Waller will have this cherry wipe to make a late charge. A good fresh horse.

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