Sydney Colt's Mail For Rosehill 14 August

We turned a small profit last week and I expect we may do the same today. No value whatsoever but astute betting with the corporate bookies will give us an advantage.

Race 3 n5 MISS INDEPENDENT Nice last start win and again well placed. We need to pray for some genuine pace otherwise the fav may get a soft lead.

Race 4 n6 WINTER KING With all the scratchings this neddy is now tomato sauce odds. Does look too nippy for this lot. Paying better than bank interest.

Race 6 n7 SQUAMOSA This horse is race fit, is well placed with the weights, has been killing them in track gallops and is trained by Gai. Did I miss anything?

Race 7 n5 KHEMOSABI My pro punter pal tells me he has been reading the smoke signals about this neddy all week. He has already this morning invested a 5 figure sum on this race fit neddy. I’m following him in, what about you?

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

Gelding's tips for 14 August 2010

The Gelding’s attention is fairly and squarely on his home track at a rather wet Caulfield tomorrow.

With the rain during the week, the track should be fairly heavy so look for the runners that like the forward running.

Race 3 Horse 6 Mr Harry (for the girls at the Tennis club)
Race 4 Horse 1 Crystal Lily
Race 6 Horse 11 Shoot Out (also for the girls at the Tennis club)
Race 8 Horse 15 Imperial Command

Remember you can hear the Gelding talk racing with the Professor on Sportzfan Radio every Sunday at 12.30pm.  Special guest this week will be the Sydney Colt.

Good luck and good punting!

Sportzfan Radio #166.1

@SportzfanRadio now available on iTunes!8 August 2010 166.1 –The Panel talk about the AFL using technology for deciding whether a goal is kicked or not.  Stan says maybe the umpires need regular checks on their eye sight as over a period of time mistakes can affect the outcome of games.  Marie Baker makes a return to the show with her US report and says human error is part of sport so why sweat over mistakes made by referees.  She believes Brett Fravre is a drama queen who needs his own annual reality “decision” show and doesn’t think Shaq changing NBA teams again will affect his legacy.  She also feels Tiger Woods probably won’t get back to the top in golf and that A-Rod’s 600th homer as the youngest person ever to reach that mark, may not be enough to get him into MLB’s Hall of Fame.  The Gelding provides the answers to Saturday’s racing at both Flemington and Randwick.  He says it was a tough day with many long priced horses saluting and elects not to award the S-Hit ride of the day to the jockey of Bonindi but does say her ride “lacked imagination”.  No luck again for Queen Asa this week although she did run fourth so getting closer to a placing.  He tells Travis that he has no plans to run it in the Spring Carnival.  The Professor looks at the farcical situation with the Commonwealth Games venues in Delhi being incomplete with only 60 days until the start of the events.  Daniel believes the Games organizing committee should adopt the Andrew Demetriou line  “Everything is fine….there is no problem.”  A National Baseball League will finally return to Australia in November with 6 team competing.  Daniel is surprised that Stan can remember back to baseball in the late 1920’s.

Sydney Colt's Mail For Randwick

Great to catch up with the Professor during the week over a meal and a red or three! Unfortunately the Gelding was restricted to the stable. Next time old mate.

Race 1 n5 HIDDEN WONDER Comes in nicely based on ratings and loves the mile trip. Will be on the pace and will look the winner in the straight

Race 2 n3 DAL DAL No prize for picking this neddy as every man and his dog has jumped on. Gai has thrown the blinkers on and the pro punters took the early price bet by the corporate bookies

Race 6 n2 DECISION TIME The best horse in the race without question! Trialled brilliantly and is a super e/w bet. If this race was 200m longer I would declare this neddy.

Race 8 n 10 SUPERNOVA and n12 STORM KITE Finish the day with a few dollars e/w both of these. Our ratings man says they are the best placed and their current prices are very inviting

Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost

Gelding's tips for 7 August 2010

The Gelding’s attention is fairly and squarely on Flemington tomorrow.  One word of warning, as mentioned last week, it is difficult to know how the track is going to play tomorrow and how much rain it will be subject to.

Flemington

Race 2 Horse 1 Censor (for the girls at the Tennis club)
Race 3 Horse 7 Encosta Belief
Race 5 Horse 2 Bonindi
Race 6 Horse 2 Headway (also for the girls at the Tennis club)

Good Luck and Good Punting!

Sydney Colt's Mail For Rosehill 31 July

Happy birthday tomorrow to all those beautiful nags who filled our pockets with lobster purchasing cash over the past 12 months! A very wet track at Rosehill means it is a day for punt drunks and Sydney Colt groupies.

Race 1 n2 AFRICAN PRINCE Will love the ‘heavy 10’ track and the pull in the weights

Race 2 n3 BACK ON TOP A pro punter convinced me to make this the ‘banker’ bet of the day. This neddy eats mud for breakfast and is very fit and in form.

Race 4 n1 MAGIC MODEL Pro punters in the know jumped all over the corporate bookies when early prices were released. I am told it has trialled outstandingly. At the time of writing this post the bookies are still betting a good e/w price (it will not stay that way!).

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

Gelding's tips for 31 July 2010

This week racing returns to the Gelding’s home track at Caulfield.  Track could be a bit on the heavy side with all the rain in the last few days and further rain predicted overnight and in the morning.

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

Caulfield

The tips are:

Race 5 Horse 8 Miss Lily Rose (for the girls at the Tennis club)
Race 6 Horse 8 Shoot Out
Race 7 Horse 6 Imperial Command
Race 8 Horse 4 Maxisun (also for the girls at the Tennis club)

Listen to me talk racing with the Professor on Sportzfan Radio at 12.30pm every Sunday on 88.3 Southern FM.

Good Luck & Good Punting!

Sportzfan Radio Show #164.1

@SportzfanRadio now available on iTunes!25 July 2010 164.1 – The Professor welcomes Stan back after illness whilst Daniel Eade laments at the Aussies appalling cricket effort against Pakistan and Gambo has been for a “roll” on the greens.  Sean Callanan recovering from a bit of jet lag is upbeat about the recent Sports Conferences on Social Media in Australia and New Zealand.  He says sports teams that try to engage their fans get the best result in social media.  He is putting together a Sports Social Media Index for A League teams prior to the season start.  He thinks Gold Coast Suns without any tradition, will keep tweeking the design of their football jumper until they get one that resonates with fans.  The Panel talk about the turf at Etihad Stadium and liken it to an ice rink and conclude something needs to be done from on OH&S perspective before an AFL footballer sues over an injury.  The Gelding talks racing with the hits and misses from Saturday at Moonee Valley and Randwick.  His horse Queen Asa gets another start at Cranbourne but is not confident.  Daniel learns that Kenny Loggins “other” song is Footloose and he thinks maybe Kenny should have been asked to provide a theme song for the Gold Coast Suns.  The Professor and Daniel wonder whether the Melbourne Tigers have done the wrong thing by getting Tommy Greer and Darryl Corletto to break their contracts with clubs playing in the SEABL and Big V competitions in order to go on a pre-NBL season tour with the Tigers.  Gambo is happy “Plugger” Lockett is made a legend at St Kilda and the Panel look at big names the Gold Coast Suns could sign aside from Karmichael Hunt to raise the new AFL team’s profile – Shane Warne and Kevin Rudd are suggested

Sydney Colt's Mail For Randwick 24 July

2 from 3 last week saw lobster back on the menu. Thanks to the tip straight from Gai’s stable. I hope you read the post and benefited from that insight. This week it’s Friday night mail and not as strong. Fingers crossed.

Race 3 n2 WITH ICE In form galloper who is nicely placed based on ratings. Likes wet tracks.

Race 4 n2 SQUAMOSA Short price but the word from the track is that Gai has a very smart neddy here who will be too classy for this lot.

Race 6 n8 NOT A SNIP A DOUBT e/w I am told this neddy is now jumping out of its skin after 2 warm up runs from a long break. Great chance at e/w odds.

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

Sydney Colt's Mail For Rosehill 17 July

We have gained some good mail for today’s races. Nothing fancy about the prices of the 3 tips but I expect a profitable day. If you bet with the corporate bookies and not the thieving local tote you will win more.

Race 1 n5 CROSSBOW Won a ‘no race’ where it ran great sectionals. Only has to match that effort to win this with ease. Know a pro punter who got some good oil direct from Gai’s stable on this neddy.

Race 4 n2 FUSAKEO Another from Gai’s stable. Nash will control the pace of this race up front. Well suited being back 200m from its last start 2nd to a promising horse.

Race 5 n6 ATOMIC FORCE Extremely well placed here because (a) lack of pace (b) weight drop and (c) dryer track = 3 good reasons to have a small flutter.

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