Gidgee Gold colours Generated livery card for Gidgee Gold, saddlecloth 5 — solid yellow with a red and orange cap and a teal sulky, over a bay coat swatch.

A runner on this circuit carries colours rather than a photograph. There is nothing to photograph: the livery is drawn from the same values the simulator renders, so the card above and the screen agree.

The rating is not a handicapper's mark — this circuit has no handicapper. It is the runner's mean published weighting: the average block of numbers, out of 1,000, that GP-Draw 4.2 has given it across the cards it appears on. Divide by ten for the mean true win percentage.

The record reads starts–wins–seconds–thirds and the form string runs oldest to newest, so the last figure is the most recent finishing position. Figures are as at 25 October 2026 on the circuit clock and move only when a card this runner is declared in is drawn. There is no prizemoney on this circuit: nothing is staked, so nothing is won, and the money column is printed as an em dash rather than filled with a number that does not exist.

Every card

5 published · 2 drawn · 3 to run

Every card Gidgee Gold appears on, newest first, read off the cards themselves. Numbers is the block of 1,000 the weighting table gave this runner in that race; price is the same figure in the other notation. A card still to run has no finishing position, because nothing has been drawn yet.

Fields are fixed when a card is published, so there are no scratchings and no starting price: the price in this table is the one the card carried. How a virtual race is decided works through the arithmetic.

Prices on this page are the draw weighting in another notation. They are reference figures published with the card, not odds available anywhere, and not a betting recommendation.

The form line

the desk, on what the weightings have done

Gidgee Gold ran second in the Class C Mobile Pace off 225 numbers at $3.77 from barrier three, a neck behind Red Gum Rebel. Two days earlier, in the Standing Start Trot, it held 77 numbers at $11.34 and finished seventh of eight, 12 lengths back.

For tonight's Kurrajong Mile the table gives it 57 numbers at $15.31 from barrier five — a quarter of the block it carried last night over the same distance at the same venue. Its career strike rate of 25.7 per cent is the highest of the eight pacers and has no bearing on that figure, because the draw keeps no record.

It is the first of two mares in the demo field, trained by Faisal Karim and driven by Marnie Kessel on two of its three declared drives. The jacket is solid yellow, the highest-luminance colour of the eight and the only one that needs no second colour to be found on the limestone.
