Having a really big tip for a neddy in Melb today. Mail is a bit light again for Sydney where 2 very short priced 2yo dominate the early races.
SYD
Race 2 n3 FOXWEDGE This will win if trial form and trackwork mean anything for early season 2yo races. Make this a banker for an all up with the next 2 mail horses.
Race 7 n5 LADYS ANGEL Impressed some keen judges after leading and winning last start.
MELB
Race 8 n4 VERY DISCREET I am told this neddy has a ton on this field based on ratings. IAS went up at $7.0 and the best on offer this morning is $3.9o. Some smart people have jumped on. What will you do?
Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
14 November 2010 179.1 – The Professor starts by asking Daniel whether there should be a “mercy rule’ in basketball like there is in baseball, which then starts a discussion on the Melbourne Aces and whether their double header games are only 7 innings in length. The Gambler gives an update on Danish Rock who has been put out in the paddock for a six week spell. Stan has more basketball questions for Daniel about the Melbourne Tigers including whether an import (or two) will be sacked. Daniel says if the Tigers are 0-6 after the next two games they will both be sacked. Daniel doesn’t think Al Westover will be sacked though. The Gambler complains about the traffic created by the Australian Masters golf. Mordiboy sends a text predicting Tiger Woods not being able to win the tournament and thinks Daniel Gaunt will win by a shot. The Gelding discusses yesterday’s racing at Sandown and Rosehill. He says with the track being a ‘heavy 9’, runners needed some wet weather form to be in with a show. He says that like Danish Rock, Queen Asa is also going out for a spell.
I’m suggesting my groupies and regular punt drunk readers of this post join me as we place all our eggs in one basket. Yes, the mail is light but very hot for just one runner tomorrow at Rosehill.
Race 3 n6 SIENNA RED (currently $3.3 with Betchoice). This neddy trained by Jo Pride has had 1 race start for 1 win. With Corey Brown up it should go 2 from 2. I’m told it is fit and ready for a 1st up win. Our only bet.
Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
The Gelding’s attention can now return to racetracks far closer to where he is stabled as tomorrow’s races are at Sandown.
After a quick look at form, the Gelding believes the following selections have a really good chance of saluting. However, take care with the rain that may fall overnight as a few may be scratched tomorrow morning!
As always the selections are on an each way and all up basis.
Sandown
Race 2 Horse 1 – Palomares (for the ladies at the Tennis club)
Race 3 Horse 2 – Capecover
Race 4 Horse 11 – Dubleanny
Race 5 Horse 3 – Set for Fame
Race 7 Horse 1 – Zipping (also for the ladies at the Tennis club)
Race 8 Horse 10 – Niblick (an omen bet for Mordiboy?)
Remember you can hear the Gelding discuss all the winners and losers at the track every Sunday at 12.30pm on Sportzfan Radio on 88.3 Southern FM or streamed live at http://sportzfanradio.com
Good luck and good punting!

7 November 2010 178.1 – Stan doesn’t take long to take Daniel to task about the performance on the Melbourne Tigers and queries whether the Tigers, Tiger Woods or the Australian cricket team will be the next to win. Daniel hints that one of the Tigers imports could be cut very soon. Stan wonders whether the Tigers should bring back Lindsay Gaze. One of our twitterers says bring back Andrew Gaze or the Tigers will remain a mess. Dan Butterly talks US sport including NFL with the Randy Moss/Minnesota Vikings/Brad Childress/Brett Favre debacle and the will she or won’t she tell the NFL. He also discusses the quarter back ‘controversy’ at the Washington Redskins with Mike Shanahan benching Donovan McNabb at the end of a game. MLB is wrapped up with the San Francisco Giants overcoming the Texas Rangers in five games. In College football, the Air Force Academy defeats Army to take the Commander in Chief’s trophy. The Panel talks with the Gelding and JC about JC’s horse ‘It’ll Be Fantastic’ then goes on to discuss the Emirates Stakes day and the winners and losers at the track.
Those who stayed solid on Melb Cup day were rewarded with 2 winners from 2 races in Syd and 1 win from 2 in Melb. The prices for today’s mail will not be big but wise betting with Corporate bookies will return a profit.
Race 2 n5 CYCLONE STACEY I’m informed it has trialled exceptionally well.
Race 3 n3 MR EDISON About the fittest horse racing at Randwick today. Will be in the finish for sure.
Race 4 n1 UPON THIS ROCK Has been a star at trackwork and will race on the pace. Will be in this for a long way.
Race 5 n4 ZACHARY This is the strongest mail horse today. The blinkers are going on, wet will assist and up to 1600m is its go. Don’t miss out on backing it.
Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
The Gelding’s attention tomorrow is still on Flemington with the final day of the Cup Carnival. With the weather looking to be fine, the roses will be in full bloom and the horses should be running true to form.
As always the tips are on an each way and all up basis.
Flemington
Race 3 Horse 3 – Red Calossus
Race 5 Horse 6 – Black Caviar (for the ladies at the Tennis club)
Race 7 Horse 14 – Zantelagh
Race 9 Horse 3 – We’re Gonna Rock (also for the ladies at the Tennis club)
Don’t forget that the horse the Gelding has an interest in, Queen Asa is running at Cranbourne on Sunday.
Good luck and good punting!
The Gelding
A hard day so take care.
RANDWICK
Race 2 n1 Duke Of Cornwall – Short price but only 2 possible chances in the race
Race 7 n6 Star Leader – I am told it is ready today. A pro punter mate has already jumped in.
FLEMINGTON
Race 5 n2 Stirling Grove This is the pick of the mail. Has too much class and is great odds at about $3.8 this morning
Race 6 n9 Dance Of The Ocean e/w Big whispers about this one yesterday afternoon.
CUP
Almost a no bet race for me but for the record I’ll be working the percentages to win on (in number order) 3 So You Think 11 Descarado 12 Harris Tweed 16 Profound Beauty 24 Maluckyday
Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
There is only one place for the Gelding’s attention tomorrow and that is VRC headquarters which sees the 150th running of the Melbourne Cup.
Hopefully the rain will stay away and the punters can enjoy some wonderful racing with the quality horses that will be running.
As always the tips are on an each way and all up basis.
Flemington
Race 2 Horse 3 – Aloha
Race 7 Horse 3 – So You Think (for the ladies from the Tennis club) – from Horse 1 Shocking & Horse 11 Descarado
Race 8 Horse 10 – Hidden Wonder
Race 9 Horse 6 – True Persuasion
Race 10 Horse 1 – Balavan (also for the ladies from the Tennis club)
To those who follow the horse I have an interest in, Queen Asa, it did not run at Kilmore on Sunday as the meeting was cancelled due to the wet track.
As always good luck and good punting!
