Gelding’s red hot tips for Flemington on 2 November 2013

November 1, 2013 @thegelding Leave a comment

This Saturday the Gelding’s attention is on Flemington with the Spring Carnival continuing at racing’s headquarters with all the fine horses out on show vying for a piece of history.

While winners are always hard to pick at this time of year, there is definitely no shortage of horses to fancy.

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

Flemington

Race 1 Horse 2 – Hucklebuck
Race 2 Horse 3 – May’s Dream
Race 4 Horse 1 – Zoustar (for the ladies at the Tennis club)
Race 5 Horse 6 – Jet Away
Race 6 Horse 1 – Criterion (one for Guy)
Race 7 Horse 1 – Red Tracer (also for the ladies at the Tennis club)

For the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday the Gelding’s early tip is (Mark) Fiorente & Hawkspur (and add the winner of the Lexus on Saturday as a each way bet).

Early Oaks tip is May’s Dream (conditional that it must win the Wakeful Stakes this Saturday & pull up well).

Good luck and good punting!

Friday musing – Cox Plate, Fiorente, Arsenal, Wenger…..

October 25, 2013 @packers4 Leave a comment

It was disappointing to see Atlantic Jewel is out of the Cox Plate as she was the clear favourite and it would have been great to see her win the race. It is now a lot more open with Itsadundeel likely to start the favourite, but having missed a run with a foot abscess, I think he is vulnerable. I am going to get in before the Gelding and tip (Mark) Fiorente to keep it in the Sportzfan family!

Also disappointing to see the Gunners concede a late goal against Borussia Dortmund and not escape with a draw. Arsenal has had a great run since their opening loss of the Premier League season against Aston Villa. The Champions League group stage has got a bit to play out so all is not lost.

I did finally get a look at Jack Wilshere’s goal scored against Norwich City. What an absolute cracker and an early nominee for the Goal of the Season!! In the newspaper article they suggested that it was a goal that had Arsene Wenger written all over it and I would agree it is the type of slick football that is the trademark of his teams. Perhaps a bit more focus on defence will take them further in all competitions though.

The Gelding has hit a purple patch of winning form with three winners from five selections last week, including getting two home for the ladies from the Tennis club! His attention is on his home track at Caulfield today with the running of the Caulfield Cup. Although there are many chances, the Gelding believes he has isolated the likely winner.

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

Caulfield

Race 2 Horse 6     Hucklebuck

Race 4 Horse 4     San Diego

Race 6 Horse 1     Boban (for the ladies at the Tennis club)

The Gelding’s attention is well and truly on Caulfield this Saturday and with the big races just around the corner, all the good horses are trying to stake their claims.

With so many good horses, winners will be difficult to pick, but that won’t stop the Gelding from having a go!

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

Caulfield

Race 6 Horse 6 – Atlantic Jewel (for the ladies at the Tennis club)

Race 7 Horse 10 – Richie’s Vibe

306 and out!

September 28, 2013 @packers4 Leave a comment

After 306 shows and six and a half years on air, Sportzfan Radio comes to an end on Sunday 29 September 2013. A most fitting day as it is the first anniversary of the demise of Sportzfan Stan. Unlike nearly every other sports program we strived to discuss the real issues in sport and to provide thought provoking discussion.

We like to think that our ‘experts’ really know the games that they talked about – Dalligan on League, Fiorenti on soccer, Mordiboy on golf, the Gambler on lawn bowls, the Gelding & the Sydney Colt on all matters racing, John O’Callaghan on the legal issues in sport, Daniel Eade on NBL, NBA & AIHL, Sportzfan Stan on sackings, Dan Butterly on US sport and the Professor on……well he commented on anything and everything.

We have enjoyed all the production meetings at the Great Western Hotel and every minute of presenting the show. We hope that you enjoyed our analysis on sport, but wonder where the ladies at the Tennis club will now get their Saturday morning race selections from. Maybe we can prevail on the Gelding and the Sydney Colt to still post their expert predictions on the website.

Don’t miss the last show from midday tomorrow!

September 21, 2013 @thegelding Leave a comment

The Gelding’s attention is on his home track at Caulfield today for Underwood Stakes day. The Gelding says it is a ‘Cox Plate’ field and should be a good pointer for the Spring Carnival.

He also says punters should keep a little up their sleeve for an each way bet on Danish Rock at Wangaratta on Monday.

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

Caulfield

Race 2 Horse 7 – Shamal Wind

Race 3 Horse 4 – Villa Verda

Race 4 Horse 4 – Self Sense

Race 7 Horse 6 – Gregers (for the ladies at the Tennis club)

Race 8 Horse 12 – Atlantic Jewel (also for the ladies at the Tennis club) – the ladies should also have an each way bet on Horse 8 Puissance de Lune

You can hear the Gelding discuss racing with the Professor and the panel on Sportzfan Radio at 12.30pm each Sunday on 88.3 Southern FM. The Gelding’s segment is sponsored by the Great Western Hotel.

Good luck and good punting!
