The Gelding’s attention is on Flemington today and he is keen to atone for last week’s ordinary showing. He did have some help from the jockeys though, awarding not one but two s-hit rides. Hopefully the jockeys aboard today don’t lose their compass.
As always the bets are on an each way and all up basis.
Flemington
Race 3 Horse 1 – Miss Wonderland
Race 4 Horse 1 – Snitzson

Good luck and good punting!
The Gelding
It was interesting reviewing the results from the stand alone meeting at Racing.com Park last Saturday afternoon. I know the complex has not been open for all that long, but six track records were broken on the day, with the 1400m record broken twice. It does reflect the calibre of horses that were in attendance for a stand alone Saturday meeting, but six records in one day must be some sort of a record in itself!
to be ramping up at the moment and while no one wants to see a strike, I must say I would not blame the players if they took industrial action. In most sporting competitions in the world the players get a percentage of the revenue so why should the AFL be any different?
The Gelding’s attention returns to Flemington today and after bagging a couple of winners last start at Pakenham, he is in some good form coming into the festive season.
The Gelding’s attention is at Pakenham today with the running of the Pakenham Cup. Well actually his attention is at Tynong as the Pakenham racecourse was shifted to Tynong in 2015! His query is why isn’t it now called the Tynong race course?
The Gelding’s attention is at Moonee Valley today and with the Spring Carnival well and truly in the rear view mirror, he has noticed a big drop off in the quality of fields. That makes it a bit more difficult to find those winners.
The Gelding’s attention is at Sandown today and after what one could only term a mediocre Spring Carnival, he is looking to bounce back with a vengeance. By the way punters, he awarded an s-hit ride to Kieran McEvoy for last week’s ride on the $3.25 favourite The Unites States.
The Gelding’s attention remains at Flemington for Emirate Stakes day. He was quick out of the blocks with a win with his first selection on Oaks Day but after that it was all downhill. Then again who picked the 100/1 winner of the Oaks??
see anything beating her next year unless something from the latest crop of three year olds prove to be exceptional. I thought the run of Hartnell was good from a Melbourne Cup point of view. He looked to be gone on the turn put plugged on an held second comfortably in the end.
AFL finals. As I mentioned in a previous post, I like it. It allows the AFL flexibility with scheduling in the last round and to an extent with the first week of the finals. Perhaps it does detract from finishing in the top four and winning the first week, but if we witness something like the Bulldogs this year then count me in.
services are at 3.00pm. If the churchgoing Christian supporters from North Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs want to attend the game they will need to find a church proximate to Etihad stadium. Probably not a big deal, but a night game like the other sporting codes who play on Good Friday should have been considered.
