Gelding's tips for 3 July 2010

Well, the Gelding had quite a good ‘financial year’ on the punt and is looking to start the new financial year at a sprint.  His attention is drawn to Moonee Valley tommorrow but a word of caution to keep an eye on the weather as rain may be a factor overnight!

The Gelding is sticking with horses he has backed before and all are last start winners so that is good form. 

The bets as always are on an each way and all up basis.

Race 3  Horse 1 – Sunday Rose (for the girls at the Tennis club)
Race 4 Horse 3 – Das Machen
Race 6 Horse 3 – Oak Heart
Race 7 Horse 2 – Ghostmilk (also for the girls at the Tennis club)
PS – Update on Sportzfan Radio’s own Queen Asa – her next start will be at Kimore next Tuesday in a Maiden over 1450 metres (if not balloted out).  A better performance is expected however we are looking to get the horse up to 1600 to 2000 in the third or fourth start this campaign.  It is then that it will be expected to be winning.

Good luck and good punting!

Aussie soccer officials finally see the writing on the wall!

As US comedian RonWhite says “You can’t fix stupid, because stupid is forever”.

Stupid is exactly what the Aussie bid for the 2018 World Cup was!!

As we discussed with Mark Fiorenti on Sportzfan Radio several months ago – Australia had NO chance of success with the bid.  The Aussie camp was still trying to convince us that we were a realistic bidder, notwithstanding Sepp Blatter (FIFA President) telling anyone who cared to listen that Europe would be the preferred venue (for that read will be the venue) in 2018 and FIFA also reinforcing that with Australian representatives at every turn.

It took our own Asian Football Confederation to jolt us back to reality when its President came out in support of the European bid this week.

One wonders at the capacity/capability of those running Aussie soccer not to be able to see the forest for the trees.

The AFL/NRL must be laughing out loud at the time and money wasted on that part of the bid.

What does that say for the 2022 bid?……more on that one later.
