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.

Sportzfan Radio show #228.1
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.
Gelding’s tips for 3 December 2011
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.

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Rosehill 3 December 2011
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
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.
Gelding’s tips for 19 November 2011

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Warwick Farm Tomorrow 19 November 2011
I have been enjoying the Saturday morning trackwork where an ear to the ground can prove the difference between a winning and losing day. Have been hearing the right people giving a huge rap to one of Gai’s 2 year olds. Will be making it a standout and our sole selection at the Farm tomorrow.
Race 1 n6 NO LOOKING BACK A lot of talk at the track about this neddy trained by Gai. There is only one thing to do and that is to load up and shove.
I’m heading to Melb on Sunday for a week and hope to catch up with the Professor during the coming week.
Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
Sportzfan Radio show #226.1
13 November 2011 226.1 – Due to a technical glitch at Southern FM with the logger we come in during the US report with the Panel speaking with Dan Butterly about the huge story developing at Penn State University and the sacking of football coach Joe Paterno. Also to lose their jobs were the University’s President and Athletic Director over the sex abuse charges laid against former Penn State defensive co-ordinator Jerry Sandusky. Is it co-incidence that Paterno became the winningest coach in NCAA Div 1A last week and the scandal broke this week? Dan encourages those who want to know more to read the Grand Jury testimony. He also discusses the NBA lockout and feels if things keep going the way they are there will be no winners and no losers. Dan thinks there will not be a season as the owners aren’t worried if there is no season. Finally, Dan reviews the tip off of the College basketball season with the opening game pitting UNC against Michigan State played on an aircraft carrier on Veteran’s Day. The Gelding talks racing and reviews both his selections at Sandown and the Sydney Colt’s Rosehill tips. Sportzfan Radio tipsters picked 6 placings including 2 winners from 7 selections. Sportzfan Stan asks the Gelding how Danish Rock’s preparation is going but the Gelding says it will be a while before he races again. The Professor has trouble playing Dr Leslie’s community service announcement and the Gelding questions whether she may have fallen off her stool.
The Gelding’s tips for 12 November 2011
The Gelding’s attention turns to Sandown today and its Hillside track. With the weather improving, it promises to be a great Zipping Classic day.
As always the bets are on an each way and all up basis.

Sydney Colt’s Mail For Rosehill Tomorrow 12 November 2011
Last week I mentioned I was heading to early morning trackwork. Well, in advance of tomorrow I picked up mail for 2 of Gai’s and I will be on both “best of the best” with the corporate bookies. For those who have been asleep at the wheel, “best of the best” offers you the best dividend out of the 3 state TABs or the best fluc at the track. All you need do is put your money on up to 40 mins before the race. Both Luxbet and Centrebet offer “best of the best”. Anyway, I’ll be back at trackwork in the morning. Get on Gai’s pair tomorrow.
Race 1 n7 KUCHINSKAYA
Race 6 n7 EMBARASSED
Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
