Gator's Gameplan w/David Gately (23/07/26)

In this episode of Giddy Up, David Gatley (Gator) shares his weekend horse racing selections, starting with his best bet (Key Player): Ben and in Race 7 at St. Citi, who has been impressive in recent starts and is expected to win again. The toughest race (Long Division) is Race 6 at Caulfield, a challenging event with first-time starters and competitive horses like King's Reflection and Decalogue, where Gator favors Brilliant Ted despite weight concerns. His D-Day horse is Flyboots in the same race, a consistent galloper who has run well without winning and is due for a breakthrough. The highlight race is the Bletchingly Stakes, where Gator tips Cosmic Crusader, citing his class and the fact that many rivals come from the Monash Stakes, making him the standout. For the Night Watchman, he selects Superfund in the last race at Randwick, a talented horse first-up from a break but with stamina queries. Gator also discusses a parlay bet (Custom, Signature, Cruise Away) and answers listener questions, including advice on horses like Bloody Express, Mirovail Rose, and Harbour Town. He notes the upcoming carnival season and praises trainers like Chris Waller and Lucy Yomans for their work with horses like Change of Colors. Overall, Gator provides detailed analysis and tips for the weekend's races.

On Giddy Up, it's time for Gators Game Plan with David Gatley. Hello Gator, how's seats? Well, too bad you need the home cheer, the Sponemaster 2000 from the Stone Cut of Epiphoed Day. That's where you're falling down. Jesus Simpson, thank you, Louis. The Simpson's your favourite show, isn't it? Well, one of the laugh a lot. I like laughing. Yeah, yes, yes. Jesus, I had a lot of great feedback from beyond the barriers with you on Tuesday, mate. Very, so yeah, I think if you missed it, you can go to Giddy Up with Gareth Haw with your local podcast subscriber and you can listen to Gator. Like never really before Gator, so we appreciate you doing that on our show there the other day. No, it was enjoyable, thanks for having me. You know, I've been putting your offer for ages for all these reasons. Yeah, it's nice to talk about themselves. But you have upset the lovely, you shouldn't get a mention. Oh, no. Yeah, no, she's got me some feedback there, so. So she should see, and I tell you what she's, your beautiful partner is the best thing that's ever happened to you. I went out for lunch with you the other day and you've done extremely well. And the best part about Suze is that she can run and swim faster than you. Well, she swims faster than most at 420 pace in the 400. Yes, 420, that's swimming, of course. That's unbelievable, isn't it? Well, we don't do it anymore because we're older and washed up. But in a younger day, I thought it was a tie-up, I went to your first time, you know that? And I was saying, yeah, I used to swim now and then how fast could you swim 50? I said, oh, 30 seconds and they go, that's pretty quick, go ahead. It might have been 40 seconds. So it just proves you can never lie when it comes to trying to say how quick you can swim when you haven't spun for a long time anyway. Yeah, no, we got out of it of GST there. Yes, but anyway, I'll be saying I can beat Michael Phelps before you know it. We've got to find somewhere where Gator's game plan is pretty easy to follow these days. We've got our key categories, the key player, which is his best bet. The toughest race to work out, that's the long division race, the D-Day horse, the highlight race and then the night watchman. And then it's up to you, the selectors to ask the coach, Gator, any question you want? 049736736 on the garage, horse and howon text line. We'll start off with the key players, so the best bet across the weekend, Gator. Yeah, I'm going to hit the city again. Yeah. That seems to be working well for us. Our key player out of St. Citi and I think race step number one, Ben and that can win again. You know, been the best running the race. I mean, second up, then again, third up, should have won both clearly in my humble. Then he was our best last time. But I think the key to his win last time, it just travelled better in the lead and was quite dominant and trashed. You know, key rivals that are in this race. So look, I don't think they get enough weight advantage to swing the tables on Ben and back seven by one, our best. So that's race seven number one and well done last week too, Gator. The parlay solution in Sydney. So you are on fire and you're dominating Sydney at the moment. The long division race, we go to Corefield and it's race six on the program and it is a difficult race to work out, Gator. Well, it is because one or two of them get to the strip for the first time. So that's an unknown. Yeah. You know, but again, referencing Chad Amunday, our job's to find the win of a quarter race. After the race, I'll be out of two exactly who stayed best. What I do know is I brilliant as a beat King's reflection last time. She had a great momentum in King's reflection. But you know, would that have made a difference? We'll never know the answer. He gets a great swing, he gets a gear change. Decalogue, he's probably the best horse right now. If he can relax early, it's the real key to him running the trip. And it's interesting, just listening to talk, you know, some of the trainers, a couple of them in this race, they get their best and that tells you exactly how challenging I think the race is. So King's reflection is a 360 favorite with bet three, six, five. Decalogue will be written with some cover. Hopefully settles a little bit better with the gear change there, Kirin, yes, playing. Brilliant, Ted's a Patrick Payne says she's done nothing wrong. And she was electric there at Flemington. He thinks she can do it again. She's at 650. There's a surprise you. There's a gap between those two horses. I know that there's a difference with the weights there with those three-year-olds stepping out to 2400 metres. But it's nearly three points there, Gator. Yeah, I think that's too great. I mean, I've tipped Billy and Ted's on top. I thought the win was too good to ignore last time. But yes, she does come up three kilos and on relative weight, King's reflection has a one and a half kilo swing. So look, relative weights are important in the puzzle, you know, how to weight ratios, important in athletics. I think what's probably more salient was he didn't have the momentum she had. So he gets the blinkers on. So how much improvement will that equate to? Will it be one and a half lengths that may well be? And I'll tell you, you probably win after we say, I don't know if we can give you another chance, our chief, you're a very consistent gallop, you're flying in the line, but he always finds one better. So it's a good little race and even like a harbour town and engine of war, their staleas were confident. They can run big races there at Corfield on Saturday. So it's a tough race to work out, but I'm looking forward to it. Race six at Corfield. The D-Day horse. Slide boots, Gator. Yeah, nice work from Changer Colors last week, for. This one is flyboots. So I've been in the corner of this prep a couple of times and a couple of times that are really good, you know, really nice price. And he's run very, very well without winning. I thought he'd look, he finally drew a gate last time. So I stuck with him. I just didn't think the track would get to a heavy nine. They got more rain and they wanted. They were pretty good. So he gets another go. He's getting deeper into the prep now, sure. I think it's time to stand up, it's a very winnable race, I think. Race six number three, slide boots. Tony Abinchmark 78. It's interesting that Carter ran the best race in Verde Comma's is Abinchmark 88. So he hasn't racing chained to be. That would have excited you, you know. But you know, the carnival's just around the corner, Gator. It is. And the all-trialing. No, it's exciting. You know, look, a fight for another day. A couple of three-year-old opens, you know, wouldn't hurt. I noticed there's a couple of those that call for you. You know, I think that's probably the way to go, the whole mile. Yeah, well, you should take holiday. Well, you're taking holidays probably at the right time at the end of July. Leading towards, of course, the first of the group once, which will be the winx. And then the MEMS, it's a great start to our group one season. So anyway, we've only got a few more weeks to get through, Gator. And change of colors. She would have enjoyed the oranges after that performance there to say that the coach, well, thanks for that rev up. Obviously, with the new team now, Lucy Yomans and Blake Shinn have done a mighty job with her and she's levered, didn't she? We talked about that on Monday, but that was a good, another D-Day horse strikes. Yeah, she was terrific winning that race. I'm running the mile right out, sticking up. Not many leave the wall of stable and improved. No. But that's a reflection, of course, on both two things. One, the Lucy Yomans and her team. But also the care and nurture of the wall of team as well. So they are brilliant both looking after the athlete. I think the best part of that interview that we did with Lucy there on Monday was that Chris Waller was exceptional with his feedback to her about that man. Yeah. There you go. Not a shot. He has got a few pretty good horses in his barn, Chris Waller. Cosmic Rostate is the favourite and the bletchingly stakes at 340. When is Edge at 360, Mirovail rose at 550, watching me win at $6, the SA horse. And then Troy Corson, it's easy. He was bullish. Was any about Sue Sensation on Wednesday for the Wednesday agenda? And since then, he's 12 into 850 with bet 365. Kira Mar is going to recommend to Thomas Stockton with recommendation that he rides a little bit more forward with that Galloppa on Saturday. He got too far back there the other day. And Bob Peters will join me shortly with Cosmic Rostate. Here of course the owner of Cosmic Rostate, but it is the highlight race for you this Saturday gator. No, it is. I'm just writing down that word bullish. I'm just going to Google that because I don't hear it. I don't hear it. I'm just keen to know what it means. Yeah, Paulie, what other word you're asking me, I probably overuse a little bit, like innovation. For real? Yeah. God, it's real is it? Yeah, fascinated. But you know, ambivalent. When you're at living like we have to do on this show for four hours and when Louis and Paulie can't get guests on the phone, I've got to add them for three minutes or so. It's like sometimes you do have to reuse words. And probably guilty of that and I apologise, but yeah, I'm wearing on it. No, no, you're fine. I'm just taking the P1. But it is a really good race to bletch you this. And Cosmic Rostate adds that you've dimension to it. Given most or a lot of the key rivals come through the monash and there was nothing between them. I'll link over six of them. Does that open the door for Cosmic Crusader? It's probably the best horse anyway. Or Zeus sensation, he referenced being bullish about that he's a really good horse. Certainly at groups three levels, suits him perfectly. Is the length better at 1400? Yeah, probably. But I think he can win the race. Are you tipping him? Tipping Cosmic Crusader. For those reasons outlined that most of them come to the blanket for new trades. He's likely the best horse, easy to like his trial. Great, want to be interesting. So I don't need them. Don't need things to pan out well there. And then we go to the night watchman, which is in the last race at Ram. We can hit sick. Kira Margallop of the setting up to Sydney for this race. Yeah, I kept him last time. He said they made the figure far pulling up lame. He's named Superfund. He's first up on the river, you know, around the likes of Meridius and Kings F. They're their bottom-end state class horses. So you get another go. You know, I think there's a few holes in this race, smashing times flying, but the end of 1300 has to be a query within. So you paint this first up off of a lengthy break, but he's very talented. So Superfund might be a little, you know, more bulletproof out of those. So hopefully we're well in front and he can perform to his best. If he does, he's going to be out of the beat. We'll get to your parlay, nice and early. The spawning gator. Yep. No, good. Finally, should we? Directly. I'm happy to have the level. You're running the show, mate. You and your spine multiple 2000, everybody. We're going to do it. Race one number three custom in the race for number three. Signature sent in the race nine. Number two, cruise away. You're the parlay two three this week. Win. Good to see you've put cruise away. You top four this week, Gator. Yeah, you watch it now. You're going on that note. We'll take a break and then we'll come back with your questions next year on Kittiaf. Join the conversation. Text us on O4. Double nine, seven three six, seven three six live across Australia. This is Gidiaf with Garithole. Welcome back to Gidiaf, Garithole.

Visit gamblinghelponline.org. I worked out while those chairs are breaking down because when tags comes in, he walks into the studio, David Takett, one of my favourite colleagues of all time tags. He walks in and he has to jump on the chairs to push him down so he can get on. And I reckon he's bugged all of them up by doing that. Takes it anyway. That's a great story, Garith. I really appreciate you sharing that anyway. Let's move on to try to get an anecdote. Not the Atlantic, I think that's a good one. Anyway, we'll try and find your few winners with a few of these questions coming through. Mitch from Bathurst says, can you ask a word about bloody express class? I've lost count how many times I've backed this horse. He's got a lap on this field if he runs to his best, but he's running out of chances. Yeah, look, he's rolling truly good enough. That's for sure. I thought the troll was okay without rabing. He was sort of hard ridden, clear second in the heat. He wasn't the wrong part of the track and fresh last prep. Look at his two and a half links off gallons on that day. He can certainly win this race. So look, he's fourth peak. I'm sort of having a bed each way there. So fourth peak probably in that early quality. Bar plate says, can on Gator's swords and the bletchingly stakes with runner eight Miraville Rose second up and fit. As surely it turns the tables on when it at winners edge and the top weight from Perth first up question mark. PS. Thanks for last week's parlay, Gator. Yeah, nice one. So first and second pick for me, those two. So I've got Cosmic on top at Miraville Rose second pick. She's the one I tipped in the Monation. My query was with the 1100 be attached to sharp. Well, I mean, she was very good. You should have missed by much, but it was that blanket. Finish wasn't it? Yeah. So I get to 1200. She's proven second up and she tried to agree to this prep. So there's a, you know, there's a good race or two. I know this campaign. Couple of questions here from winkers. She likes maples. The unbeaten Gallup in race two, which is the highway there on Saturday. I think maples is unbeaten. Yes. Three. I think she wants everybody to the 1800s. She's taking the time to sort of wind up and that she's finally going to the extra hundred meter to help. And I'd say if it was 2000 meters, I'd probably have around top. But I think she can clearly win. But yeah, so well, if she's strongly in the mixed fourth pick. And we could once tonight about King's reflection. We touched on him, but you've got him in third there on Saturday. Hey, Gator, how do you rate the 24 hundred meter three year old race on Saturday, potentially three to four good prospects for the spring? Do you think some of these three year olds can continue on and be competitive in some of these spring races? Obviously, they'll be four in the spring. Yeah, they'll be four very soon, won't they? And quite a few of them are reasonably deep into their prep. So I guess that's the query coming into the early part of spring. How long that could sort of? Hold together. I know in the modern world, we're much better at it now with the recovery and sports science, but it's still a challenge for the athletes. Hi, Gator, can you ask, if he's partners into racing? Does she bet? Question mark asking for some advice is my girlfriend loves the horses. Just not the racing part of it. Thanks, big boy. That's from Michael. Yeah, same story. Love's loves the animal. Love the athletes. But not a punter and that's fine. Each to their own right, but does love the animal. Yeah, and she still loves you, even though she's not a punter, which is a boy. Yeah, would. The Gator Man goes bang with his parlay. The tracer into sport, it's sort of legacy into Columbia, blue 30 to one. Thank you, Gator Man. There you go. Good. Good. Good morning to you, G man and Gatorade. What are your thoughts on first chorus at Callfield with the light weight? Solid favorite that gallop are there for Liz Smith. Yeah, she's short enough, but she's flying. So look, her only defeat in recent times. She had the gap between runs of a setback and then she went back at Callfield on a day. Nothing was running on. So she was perfectly ridden last time from that inside draw to get to the best part of the track. Wasn't she Jamie Mock, a scabour and 10? And she better. Good morning, Matt Dane. Chicken clearly. We didn't know that whether or not she's a bit too skinny, odds wise, let's find out. Morning, Gene Gator. I can on Hawke Hall to beat Ice Cool in the ninth race at Rambick. Great first up record on draws. Well, I think if we get a soft lead, an ice cool gets caught. Why could be well overs? I'd love to hear Gator's thoughts. That's from Bailey from the Gold Coast. Good on your Bailey. Look, I think potentially ice cool is a bit of horse, but right now, Hawke Hall does everything right and ice cool does not. So that that really opens the door for Hawke Hall to beat him. He's trialing really well, Hawker. He's fresh forms great and he's beaten Rosland star who looks so good winning last week. So I've marked him as a danger exclamation mark. Can you ask, Gator, about Harbour Town in race six? Wings on and should have gone a lot closer last hour. Yeah, he race tight. Look, I think the problem with Harbour County is running against those sources that keep beating in. So he does go have some upside, sure. But I just think he finds one or two better again. And Wiesfeet wants to just fire you up. He goes, can you ask him about the dual acceptance this week? Hey, they've been pretty good. The trainers today. We're sorted out a few of them anyway. Yeah, no, we have. Yep. We've got one more question, I think. Good morning, Garrison and Gator. Gator's thoughts on the two shorties, ice cool and Sydney and or Tennessee bound in Melbourne. That's from we got. Yeah, I'm happy to stick with Tennessee bound. She's obviously on beaten. I thought the wind had a lot of merit last time. She looked, it was a bit of a lead. I strait a bit. There's certainly an advantage, but she was pressured. She kicked strongly. I think back to 1100s, no shoes. So best this is better performed and a much bigger price. And I'm happy to have a saver that there ice cool and happy to tip on top. I will definitely have hawk or hawk with me though in the quality time for a break. It's quickly approaching 9.58. We'll come back with more of your questions on the Garrett's horse at hand text line. Straight after this here on Gator. Text us on 0499 736 736 live across Australia. This is Giddy up with Garathol.

Are you laughing in the background there Gator or are you hearing things? Oh, no, it's nothing like. So just a little scan of cutter and an old. The office little dance came up. Remember David Brent and that dance? Yes. Oh mate, that tickled me. Yeah, I'm more of a fan of. I love the American office. I watch the American office every single night. Yeah. Are we demmy? We love it. I think it's better than the English version for me. It'd be cool. It is a big cool. Let us know what you think. The English or the American version of the office. Well, there's a. Kevin's my favourite character nearly at all times. I love Kevin. And the white is a legend as well. So. Very funny. I like laughing. I mentioned it. Yes. Hi Gator, I'm my your work. I spend about an hour or two, a race day, I should say. I spend an hour or two, a race doing form watching videos, etc. I find only can do about three or four races. a day. How do you manage to do so many races in a short amount of time after hearing you on Saturday? That's from Marty. Yeah, so the streamline process is having the video logged already. So yeah, you just don't have to go and watch every race back. I just still do sometimes just to refresh her. But you've got the times, you've got the horses profile and the video comments, your own comments and some from personal. So just circumvent the process or shorten the process. Your database is pretty big now after all these years. I would imagine it gets easier then really with all the horses that you have in your database. Yeah, in the modern world, it's much easier. So when I started at BestBet, if I couldn't record a race on my VHM, I had to, I had to, yeah, all of the taping, it was very convoluted compared to what it is now. Barking mad. He's an interesting horse. What is Gated's thoughts on that Gallup and Race 9? I think he will give cruiser weight. Windburn when he goes past him. Yeah, there you go. He did look really good winning last time. Again, Patent on side is very wet track. So I have to fix on that. But he's too in-since he's going off of being to River. He impressed lakeside, beating Rode Warrior. The third horse was coming off a really strong wind. So look, I'm not sure he can beat cruiser weight. And I thought Mahasala was probably the more impressive wind, but you know, last start, but he's on the up. Gated, congrats on getting your parlay up last week. I love parlay betting. How often do you parlay other bets? And what formulas do you go to EG2345 and 6? That's from Peter. Yeah, so pretty rarely go beyond the three. Now then we do the other racing fan bets. We tend to just do the two three, probably one in each state, depending on the makeup, some days are harder than others. There are other days. There was that King Pedro Day and Sidney on the guy five in there. And we were really confident. And I think the more I watched that day back, we probably should have collected a lot. But anyway, we lift to fight another day. And with your own racing family, I was racingform.com.au. You can listen to all of our read your analysis and then make up your own parlay if you want. At the end of the day, just trying to see which horse is your confident with and which horse is your heart at the end of the day. Being many whispers of cruiser weight, being the next Mr. Brightside, are we setting this horse up for failure in saying this? That's from Jeff from Darwin. Could on your Jeff. Well, I don't know. I don't know if setting the horse up for failures the right way to look at it in my humble. It's nothing wrong with having expectation. But that comes literally at a cost because it affects the price, I think. It doesn't increase the horse's chance of winning. At jobs the same, we've still got to try and find the winner before the race. And then factor in what odds we think are worthy of investment. And I can understand with certain athletes when we put wraps on them saying, well, this horse is, this athletes next day for Gailey as a football or Ricky Ponding as a cricketer. But I don't know if we can have a chapter cruise away if he really knows who Mr. Brightside is. If he understands the expectations we put on him. Yeah, I don't know. If he's going to be me, he's got a spot on the beach. That's a problem. But I can understand where you're coming from. And do you know why people will blame the media for pumping up these horses? But it was actually Craig Williams. I keep on saying this. Craig Williams mentioned Mr. Brightside and cruise away in the same conversation. So when the cricketer speaks, you prick your ears, don't you, Gaeta? 100%. You listen when he speaks. Yeah, I do. Anyway, I think it's a smart prudent to do so. But I've got no issue with media talking up an athlete. What's the knock on that? No. Again, it just comes down to price. It doesn't increase their chance of winning No. Hollywood hero. He goes around in race, number eight there in Sydney on Saturday. Do you give him an opportunity of winning? Yeah, he's a good eye. If I've picked him two runs a guy and he did, he'd look home or what? Then Emerald, who I thought was, yeah, he came from nowhere and none of this, that was awesome. He was probably a touch below that mark last time. The query with him on Saturday, she's still got it. He just doesn't get any weight really. So look, he's in the mix, but I've got him wearing me six peak on each set. Race six in that call for 2400 meter three-row race, your top four. I'll give you Gaeta's top six selections here. Brilliant has a deck of log, King's reflection. So 317, the two Dernaceeer, the five-hour chief and the four engine of war. Get a Gaeta. I've got a couple and a round week I need your opinion on race eight, the creator. A round week race eight, the creator. Not in the top six. It is a competitive, I thought, all that. Benchmark, Bill, Benchmark 88, that one. Yeah, I was with the horse to some extent last time. He ran well, found one better. So one of many I can make it caseful. And Humza Bay won't be going around this weekend. I don't know if you're going around Sunday. I don't think it's getting a start. They're going to pull it out anyway from Sydney. So we'll move on from that. A.G. Can you ask Gaeta about perfect justice, race six and Sydney and sevens as well, race eight and Sydney, thank you. That's from the trucker. Go on, you mate. Yeah, so certainly sevens. Probably the best run in the race last time, but he finally found a very wet track. I think that's the key to him. This improving track on Saturday is against him. He's not inept on soft, but he's much, much better on heavy. Perfect justice. I'm not sure how they beat Benchmark there, assuming Benchmark ran. But you know, it can make it case. How will the 11 meter rail play at Rammic on Saturdays from Mug Punta? Good on your Mugsy. Great to have you listening to the show. Yeah, indeed. It doesn't come out to 11 too often. Was it? I was a bit nervous last meeting. They had the nine meter thousand of winning post. So it's only an extra two from that in the track play well. So I'm really hopeful/confident that we do get that level playing field where they can run on. And that was certainly the case last meeting a couple of winners covered ground back in the field and still won. Hey, Jay, can you ask Gaeta if he has shares in his numbers in the last call? Did plenty, did plenty wrong last out, still learning, but Blinker's going on and expect huge improvement at 60 to 1 get on each way. So that's that last race at Callfield, which is a heart race. There's some nice horses at a big price there. And the horse that we're talking about shares in his numbers in the last, which horse is he talking about? It doesn't make sense, but it's one of those horses in the world. Look, it is a good race. Many of you've got horses like Fulfet's Garrett 20 to 1. You're not a good race. Yeah. We'll move on. I'll work out what Huffie's trying to say. Hi, Gaeta. I'm just doing the form for my best bets. I've got custom and race one at Callfield. Escher and race four at Eagle Farm, which is an intriguing race. So obviously you haven't done the form for Eagle Farm, but what do you make of custom? Yeah, happily on top. She's obviously in our parlour as well. So I took her first up, but I was nervous. She had to give a lot of weight to match her girl up, but she didn't miss by much, but she missed. Now she is bitter and she gets, they take the claim this time. So it takes on the older man, but it's late in the season. She'd probably be my best bet at Callfield if recuperator wasn't there. I'm such a needy. I knew that they were talking about a horse and it shares there for the keyscamp that I love the way that horse won two starts back, Gaeta, but there's some son of Rich enough. It is a big, big test for him come Saturday. Yeah, he strikes a really strong three-year-old open late in the season. As you say, they're almost four. I think these races are terrific on a Saturday off season. So 60 to one. Look, I'm never going to talk you out of a horse at that price. What about some polyglot race night in Sydney, Gaeta? Yeah, good little win last time. I think it was the second best run in the race. The runner-up was clearly the better run and Subsequently one. I call him the blue, the best bet. But the key to this race, I think polyglot is to turn the tables on ice cool. That's going to be the challenge. Just get a slight weight advantage. It didn't have a lot of luck behind that horse a couple of runs ago. So you can make it case there. No value for Cosmic Resider. Value is with Samengo. Your thoughts are Gaeta. Well, if Cosmic Resider gets people with Samengo, well, I'll give up. Many people say I should anyway, which is a good one. No, don't do that. No fun or no. Samengo was terrific. A couple of runs ago. It's a little me turn out. But yeah, I have to have others ahead. What's your best Ruffian Saturday show once tonight? Ruffian race for Rambick. Number five, make it sweet. Yeah. He's getting to 800 within the informant, apprentice. Yeah, if you get a level plan for which we think we will, I'll make sure to great Ruffian. It's what 16, 17, back. Can you ask, guys, does he ride Luna, cat and race three and Melbourne? I have a huge wrap on it. It's won me plenty of money. That's from Darryl. Yeah, she's gotten really well, isn't she? She just keeps riding well. She just missed herself a helicopter. Rival here before a nice little win. Played home. the K-Rival behaviour last start. So all the form ties in. I think Tennessee Baren is really promising and investors has performed well against Group 1 horses. So to manage their most my humble. Alright then I'll give up. The my raceful sign is we love it. It's a great format and it's a great concept but they ask you a lot of questions. Sometimes I have to filter through them because some of them are 100 to 1 and this is a horse that raised nearly two weeks ago. American Eagle. It was very impressive however on the Boothis Galapur. What did you make of it Gator? It was a nice win. There was good money for the horse and one well. A lot of these Debbie Taunt are winning these late season cheer record nightbades. It was well backed as well. So yeah look as a future I'm sure. Do you like Maples and Race 2 in Sydney Gator? That's from Stephen. We spoke about her. It isn't the mix. I think it was 2000 meters of bequeener but she's strongly in the conversation for pick. Yeah. In that same race we're talking about race 2 in Sydney on Saturday. Does Moon sweep or just win? Well that was the thought last time wasn't it? Yeah. When it was backed as if Unbeatle in the $1.50. Look time gets run down by the early of early. What they did was get third and Moon sweep all six weeks between runs. So will we be fed up probably? We get Nashra Willard. I think that's a positive but George wide. So I need a very luck. I'm morning Gator. Can you please ask Gator what he thinks of afterburner in that race at Coolfield. Of course there's got to take on the stable mate that's the favourite in that race. Signature. Signature sent. So and I met him last week at Sandown at the pub. What a great man. I loved his macabre Davis socks as well. Love the socks. Was that a macabre Deva and weak socks going into that pub gig? Went with macabre. Afterburner, look she's a rapper. So tough, so genuine. I think we'd all acknowledge Signature sent to better horse. I don't think afterburner can be on the heels of my glater all right. But she gets a lot of points because she's match fit flying and has a great little to win. Here at Mar basically couldn't split ease Philly's signature set and afterburner there today. Obviously the number one indicator of a good bet is winning. But does Gator consider anything that beats market expectation also a good bet no matter where it finishes? Look I take solace in that. So I tipped idle flight when the tab end pyro last year and I thought how clever am I. $12 into $375 back to Ziff I'm beatable. I thought I'm better than this game. Started lining up to collect my money. She underperforms significantly. However, what did she do in expo? You know she beat all those horses in the group one in Sydney. So I was sort of right but wrong. I like that explanation. Out there question is Gator ever had a beer like UG? Does his girlfriend or partner like one or not? That's from Smithy. Well, damn he likes it. I'm a bit insecure about my beer that I'm getting so much feedback regarding it. It's going too grey isn't it? Usually I do have a shave once or twice a week but I missed out on my barber because Bobby bit me a few times. I could control him the other day. So he's my dog. So I should have grow up this long and I apologise for that. But anyway, you get out of this girl beer like this? No chance. I don't know if it goes really. Yeah, it took me 23 if didn't get appealed. I think like I was a late mature. Anyway, on that note I'm going to take a quick break. This is Gideoppa move with the one and the only David Galee for Gator's Game Plan. Join the conversation, text us on 0499-736-736. Live across Australia. This is Gideop with Gareth Hall. Welcome back to Gideoppa. Thanks for bet 365. Great to have your company Paul Sabashiani. You've been having a look at those text messages coming through regarding what's the better office? The English or the US version? Slightly mixed feedback but Don has said American version is good up till season 5. Okay. Gareth, you cannot beat the office or the American version is excellent. Jave original is a masterpiece though. So he's siding with the English one. Yeah. A lot of people siding with the English one inclusive of Kay from Campbell. He said the UK won seven days a week twice on Sunday. There you go. The other one's got a Gareth in it as well as one of the main characters. It does. Pind you? Gareth Kennan. I've got a lot of feedback on my own, fine saying that I was wrong anyway. So there you go. And from your executive producer as well? Yes. Lully, let's move on. We've got the Gareth Toulson, how in text line very busy this morning, 049736736 for Gate's game plan. Recuperato goes around that first race at Callfield for the Gallagotus team and seeing them beautifully at the moment, I wonder if they're bullish about that. Horses chances they're Gator on Saturday. Your thoughts? That was delivered that time. Yeah, look, it was a pleasing return in Tide Rail. I'm the straight. First time in the outside division. Chris Wicks takes. You know, which I like as a rule, the Ched 58. So the afterburner form is good. I think and the afterburner form ties in given that is the horse that just beat custom, didn't it? Yeah. So look at ties him really well. Second pick. And if, look, if Recuperato wasn't in the race, custom would probably be my best bet on the card. Gareth, can you also ask, if he finds himself gravitating more to the up and come, a lightly race torsor's racing through the grades, would as he prefer the proven Galliper, who he knows has the ratings. Does he find the proven Galliper a better long term financial return on his punting? And there's a terrific question, Kelly. Yeah, great question. And it's a question that comes up almost weekly, you know, lining up what's the progression of this athlete over the one that's been at that mark. Yeah. You know, what you're often find is the up and come, it has the little weight advantage. And it's a way, I think, to sort of beat the handicap if you like, inverted comments. Yeah. And beat the market some time. So, you know, again, ratings after the race, they'll tell you, oh, the up and come, there is a better horse, but our jobs before the race. So to answer that question, I tend to gravitate slightly to the up and come up, but I never have blanket rules either. Each race is assessed independently and the athletes and their individual profiles taken into consideration of paramount importance. So you, Penn Sparley, once tonight, you have this horse and your numbers in the last race at Raleigh, for Maddie Dale and Timmy Clark. Yeah, second pick and good horse. No poor runs yet, this horse. Beat all by our coin, fresh last prayer app and then my mullin' and cozy Oscar. So, you can clearly win second pick. What about Swift Legend Race 3 in Sydney? The informed sack of Lloyd takes the ride for Les Bridge. I think the drawing tracks the key. Right on the heels, where it's time fresh, one, I made the ticket at last, but then one again. It does get to the mile pretty quickly. It's been scratched a few times off heavy tracks. So, I'm gut feel might be a quarter of a run, short, but a winning hope. Why can't Celtics turn the tables and cruise away? That's from Tim. Well, it doesn't have the upside, so something we just spoke about. However, this is a good horse Celtics and although just no match for cruise away, beat the third horse out of sight and get to three kilo swing. So there's a case that this horse can turn the tables. Does Gator use a black book or just treat every race as a new race? That's from Duke. Yeah, I'm not a black book guy, but there's many that are and there's no ride along, right? So it's not my thing, but I'll make handwritten notes after every single race, almost on every horse. Hey, boys, this guy never tipped a whole card not asking you, Jay, because I think we all know the answer to that. All love you, love you though. Love you, work, Jay. There you go. I love you too. That's from Kirimah from Sydney. I was from Kirimah from Sydney anyway. I love having a tip the card. That's a good that's a good question, Kirim, but I'm not really tips there. I'm like, I don't know. You're very good, Jay. I'm trying to do. Yes, I've got a few eight out of nine, seven out of eight. Yes. The closest I've come was eight out of nine at Rose Hill one day. The miss to the night one was the day more joyous buck jump at the start. She was a dollar 30. And she was the one that you missed out on. Yep. Got the other eight. How did you, what was your response after the last horse one, that last race now and you missed out on a bucking more joyous? I text everyone I know. I know. Thinking this is a proper sob story, but I didn't get a lot of empathy back that one. No. What would you do if you did tip the card, Gator? Look on a big day, I think I'd be pretty happy with myself. Would you celebrate or what? Well, I don't know about that, but I think it's certainly something I'd love to do. But I'm not talking about, you know, look, I have tip the card a couple of times. I tip the first winner of a long one day in my TV in rations.com days and then the rest of the meeting was called off. Yep. I knew that was coming, but you'll get it one day, Gator. All right, can one day. Can I get a gator in Gath? What's your thoughts on poison cell Rolls-Rey 7 at Rambick and how many times do you enjoy eating sausage rolls, Garrett? Because I don't know, that's a good question. I like sausage rolls at the rise of the Sun Hotel in Sanford, but I was reading the detail of the honest truth. I was reading out that question because Louis doesn't prove reading for me. I was reading it out and then halfway through it. I realised that I could not read it out. So I just made up the last part. Anyway, what was the first part of that question? Poison. Poison Charles, yeah. Is it any chance? Look, we sort of see other people now as a rule. Poison Charles and I. And until there's a different level of high level of application, we'll continue to do so. Yep. What are the bonuses that have been dominating all winter and finding the inform of apprentices that's been like printing money? Is this weekend when the tide starts to turn back to the senior jockey skater? Yeah, I'm not sure. I mean, there's a few senior jockeys that I've tipped and a few apprentices. So I'm not sure I've thought that forensically about that, but I just tipped it, I think, a wee. Yeah. I think Takeship the card, maybe ask him. Yeah, he'll tell you. He tipped it a couple of times as he takes. He definitely has. I got seven out of nine on Cox Plate day a couple of years ago and didn't bet in one race. And but I miss was the one that I miss was Vs. Steiner. I had the Japanese horse. And that day John, that Japanese horse went as big as Vs. Steiner. Some would argue that he went bigger. What was his name again? He was on Pasty Lane. No, it wasn't him. It was huge that day. I talk about that horse all the time. I can't believe a forgotten it's name. It was a mighty run. It was a big run, but no one makes it a big margin, right? 100%. But they were prognosis, yes. I've never seen him go like that. They did that day in a Cox Plate, but they did set it up for me. It was a faster school. He could hit history. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. By two seconds. Yeah. And he still had the audacity to be there as they swung for home. Big run. Big run. Big run. Big run. Gated, do you think Cosmic Crusader can win a group one in Melbourne? Look, I think he's competitive, depending on, obviously, the depth of said group one. We will and truly know this group one, and then there's group one. Yeah. So I think it is every likelihood you'll be competitive. Is it true that Gated left former AFL player Darren Kepler in his wake during a pre-season time trial back in the Parkdale Sea Gold days? I played against Darren. I really, it was after we finished today. Felly was kept in touch with, and I'm being on one of those clubs anyway. I never trained with him because there's different clubs, but I played against him. You know, like most, he was better than me. Good morning, Gareth, Paulie and Gator. I hope you're well. Just want to thank G and Gator for that interview on Gator's Sport Health and Mental Health. Brewing honesty in human, and we can relate it to it as a human, much appreciated. Good on you Rock, that's from Rock. Gator, can you just repeat your parlay numbers please for us this weekend? We'll come out swinging. Race 1, number 3, custom. Interace 4, number 3, signature send. Interace 9, number 2, cruise of weight. Beautiful. Gator, cruise of weights. What price do you think I should take? I want to back him now, but should I wait? That's a good lead. Yeah. That's a tough one. What we will know by the time we get to race day is how the track's playing, and I think that's an important one. I think you are probably taking a shade of unders right now because of this book, which is something we just spoke about. But the reality is, the last two wins have been really, really good. So, it depends really how good Mara Salar is. Can Celtics swing around with three kilos and even Jenny got bonkers with it. If she's given some hope this time, how close does she get? So, I don't think he's over the line, but he's top pick. Gator, how do you rate the form there of Tennessee bound after she won there at sand down when Gareth could have won leading that day? That's a bit harsh, isn't it really? Why are people having pot shots at me today? That's a good point. I think I said that Mark Hunter could have beat you saying, "Bulled that day if he was on the fence at sand down." So, how do you go about taking that form to a more even track? Say, cool feel on Saturday. Yeah, so, absolutely factor that in. If you've got the pattern on your side, just as frequently as they'll win running well against the pattern and a big hello to first chorus and Prince Eric, the last couple of week, the reverse is true as well. So, look, I thought the wind still had merit though because she went at a good speech, she had a past, a 60 to 1 past and shook them off and won really well. I would be inclined to prefer to take a close to the even money though. Just repeating, Gail is parl8. It's race 1, number 3, custom into race 4, number 3, signature scent into race 9, number 2, crew is away. And there's plenty of text messages today. That is martial art doing, it is staying in Melbourne and the two year old fillies there for Lindsay Park, Jack Oranda is the horse that is going to addolate for the lightning and that means that the favorite there in race 2, resolutely, it's now the second favorite resolutely is staying in Melbourne and that was the play there from Will Hayes. He's with that two year old filly as he's $100 staking plan over crew's away which was interesting there Gail. It is interesting, give it away for two away from Fenderland. We've got a few more questions coming through before we say goodbye. What's Gail's choice of running shoes? Is it ASICS? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I have an any feet issues in a couple of decades with the Nike stick with it. They before, it's only for race day. Alright then Gail, we appreciate your time. It's Ron on 1030. You have a wonderful day and say hello to your beautiful partner, Seuss, for us. Can't believe you're back in the middle of that. You're back in the middle of that. You're back in the middle of that.
