17 October 2010 175.1 – The show starts with the Professor asking the Gelding whether the Caulfield Cup race meeting should have been postponed because of the bad weather. Stan tells Daniel that in the season opening NBL match the Melbourne Tigers were hopeless. This then prompts a discussion of the Tigers players. In the US report this week Susan Shan talks about Brett Favre and alleged problematic texts and emails to a NY Jets female employee. San Francisco 49ers are her surprise due to their poor showing in the NFL season so far. In MLB she thinks Cliff Lee is beatable but not likely during the post season. She thinks the Phillies and Rangers will make it through to the World Series whilst the Cubs and Cardinals were the biggest busts of the 2010 season. She doesn’t think Bobby Valentine will be going back to the Mets any time soon. The Gelding discusses the Caulfield Cup day races and observes Chris Munce is one of only seven jockeys who have won the Big 4 – Melbourne Cup, Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and Golden Slipper. The Professor calls it the ‘Grand Slam’ of racing. Gelding awards an ‘S-Hit’ ride to the jockey of Shocking who he says should have won easily. The Professor and the Gelding again talk about their interest in Danish Rock.

Sydney Colt's Mail For 16 October 2010
We got back to eating well after a nice day on the punt last Saturday. Today is tricky. The mail is very light in Sydney and the heavy Caulfield track will only likely attract the punt drunks amongst us. I have some good mail for Caulfield but will punt lightly. Sydney Colt’s groupies should follow suit.
RANDWICK
Race 6 n10 OUR BILLY BOY e/w My mail says this horse has trialled well enough to be a big chance 1st up. Nicely placed and backed e/w is great value. This neddy has already firmed with the corporate bookies.
CAULFIELD
Race 2 n1 SKILLED Our ratings man rang me to say this was the best placed horse anywhere today. Track is a query but I’m already on. Join me.
Race5 n4 SOUL This neddy is a swimmer. What more needs to be said? Only that one of Sydney’s biggest punters has let rip.
Race 10 n20 VARENNA MISS Those of us in the know waited 12 months to back this midweek 10 days ago where it trotted in. This one has outstanding potential and I’m willing to risk the track.
Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
The Gelding's tips for 16 October 2010
The Gelding is ready and raring to go for Caulfield Cup day at his home track. Unfortunately, the weather may play a big part with Melbourne expecting a deluge of rain over the next twelve hours and many horses expected to be scratched because of the expected conditions.
As always the bets are on an each way and all up basis.
Caulfield
Race 2 Horse 1 – Skilled
Race 5 Horse 7 – Duble Anny (for the ladies at the Tennis club)
Race 6 Horse 2 – All Silent
Race 8 Horse 1 – Shocking (also for the ladies at the Tennis club) – quinella it with Horse 17 Faint Perfume
Race 9 Horse 1 – Hot Danish
You can hear the Gelding discuss all the racing news with the Professor on Sportzfan Radio at 12.30pm this Sunday on 88.3 Southern FM. Special guest this week by phone from Sydney will be the Sydney Colt.
Good luck and good punting and don’t get wet!!
The Gelding
Sydney Colt's Mail For 9 October
Baked beans on toast was all we could afford after last Saturday’s racing. The bookies were the only ones sighted at the best of Sydney’s restaurants. Mail light for Rosehill today so we may have to back some of the Melbourne good things today.
ROSEHILL
Race 5 n1 GRIFFON ($3.3) Back in distance will suit and I’m reliably informed this neddy has been smart in its work.
Race 8 n12 HONEST LIES e/w ($12.0) One at great odds. 1st up today after being gelded and the mail is the trial form is worthy of an investment.
CAULFIELD
Race 5 n6 SO YOU THINK ($1.5) Very short odds but looks a case of bookies giving money away.
Race 6 n1 MORE JOYOUS ($2.6) Luxbet bet $4.0 yesterday (limit $100 bet) as a promotion proving another reason to bet with corporate bookies and not your local TAB. My mail says Gai’s neddy has settled well in Melb and according to the ratings has a mountain of CLASS on this lot.
Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
Sportzfan Radio #173.1
03 October 2010 173.1 – The show starts off with the Panel discussing the AFL Grand Final replay and talk about Sean Callanan’s shimmy caught on camera at the GF (http://j.mp/bKJVwu) which even attracted tweets. The Panel try to decide whether Julie Anthony or Lionel Ritchie were better. Daniel wonders whether Julie was “limp” synching. We talk with Marie Baker about US sport particularly whether the ultimate games in sport should be replayed or subject to extra time. She also talks about tailgating and how big it is in the US and the quarterback carousel in the NFL this season. The Gelding talks about the fields at Flemington and the likely winners and also goes through the Sydney Colt’s selections at Rosehill. Gelding and the Professor discuss Queen Asa and the horse they both have an interest in, Danish Rock. There is a brief discussion about the Fremantle Dockers change to their football jumper and possible changing of their club song. Mark Fiorenti talks soccer and defends the decision for the Heart/Victory game to be transferred to next Friday away from the clash with the AFL Grand Final
Sydney Colt's Mail For Randwick 2 October
Be careful today. Tough races, rain coming and the mail is only even.
Race 3 n6 PURPLE We have reliable mail which indicates they will ride this more positively today. Expect this neddy to improve from recent outings.
Race 4 n4 SLATER Clock watchers were salivating at the sectional times this one ran in winning last time out. A repeat is expected.
Race 8n13 FIREBOLT e/w This is the hardest race of the day but ratings and a strong lead from a pro punter dictate that this neddy must be backed today. Its last win was sensational.
Race 10 n4 VINTEGE e/w Well placed today and our ratings man says it is an e/w must bet.
GO THE MIGHTY DRAGONS ON SUNDAY!!!
Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
Sydney Colt's Mail For Saturday 25 September
We are posting early as the smell of the stables beckons bright and early on Saturday morning. Two of our four selections are fav so astute betting is required. PLEASE, if you have any respect for money, bet with the corporate bookies and not your local betting agency.
Race 4 n1 DECISION TIME Won impressively for us last time. I’m told it is still on ‘the up’. Can knock off the fav here and is great value.
Race 6 n8 MORE JOYOUS We have been on this girl at her 2 wins this preparation. Is an absolute star and worthy of being the day’s anchor bet. Get on!
Race 7 n11 PURENESS e/w Underrated galloper who is very tenacious and retains fitness. Will be right in the finish of this race and great value e/w.
Race 8 n13 KISS FROM A ROSE Our mail was spot on with this neddy last start and we got the cash. Word from the track indicates it has improved. The opposition need help against this one.
Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
Sydney Colt's Mail For Rosehill 11 September
God bless Gai who gave us 3 wins from as many bets last week. I enjoyed the fill-up and we have more mail from Gai’s stable this week.
Race 1 n2 ZUTARA I’m informed his neddy has been flying on the track for Gai and is ready for a 1st up win. Worth following through the Spring over longer trips.
Race 4 n2 DECISION TIME It is ‘D Day’ for the this galloper who has been disappointing this time in. Our ratings man says on his numbers it must be backed.
Race 5 n3 HERCULIAN PRINCE Gai has big plans for this neddy. If it runs up to the raps it will be beating this lot.
Race 6 n4 MORE JOYOUS The clock watchers were amazed with the sectional times this girl reeled off when a 1st up winner for us. With luck from the barrier she will put on a repeat performance.
Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
Sydney Colt's Mail For Randwick 4 September
There is nothing better than turning a profit on the GGs in the Spring time. With some assistance from Gai we should sneak home with some beer money.
r2 n4 KISS FROM A ROSE Very strong mail says Gai has this ready 1st up.
r3 n8 HOW MUCH MY LOVE e/w Has been off the scene for 2 months after a set back in Bris at a time when they were set for a major kill. Gambling they still want to cash in here. Good fresh horse.
r4 n2 MORE STRAWBERRIES Happy to accept the mail which says Gai’s neddy can upset the hot fav. This is an exciting horse.
r5 n1 Theseo This neddy has improved significantly since its 1st up assignment and is a noted 2nd up horse.
Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
Sydney Colt's Rosehill Mail 28 August
It’s my birthday today and hopefully it will be the corporate bookies providing the presents. I’ll be sharing a great day with some fellow punt drunks. There are some class gallopers back racing today and Spring is just around the corner.
r2 n4 CLOTHING Has a great 1st up record and I’m told has trialled superbly.
r3 n6 LEGSMAN The word from the track this morning is that this neddy has improved significantly since its last start when beaten a lip.
r6 n4 MASQUERADER Stevie Wonder couldn’t have missed this neddy’s last start 2nd. Improves at the weights and distance. The corporate bookies did let us on early at $4.8. Sensational value.
r7 n1 MORE JOYOUS There is no more classier galloper going around in Sydney today. Gai has this beautiful mare primed for a 1st up kill. The only danger is whether she jumps cleanly.
Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
