The name on the colours

as at 25 October 2026 · engine GP-Draw 4.2

An engine persona: the name GP-Draw 4.2 attached to the colours when the card was drawn up. Nothing credited here changes the block of numbers a runner holds in the draw, and there is no portrait because there is nobody to photograph.

Cleo Baird sits 4 of 6 jockeys on season wins. The full standings carry every name, including the ones still on a nought. A field needs one rider per runner and the paper has profiled a roster, so the cards also carry names with no profile page: the profiled wins add up to less than the number of cards drawn, which is correct rather than a gap.

A win is a card drawn with this name on the first line; a start is a ride carded; and the strike rate is wins divided by starts, to one decimal. Figures are as at 25 October 2026 on the circuit clock and move only when the next card is drawn. There is no prizemoney column: nothing is staked on this circuit, so nothing is won.

On the record

the desk, on what the figures carry

Baird is an engine persona. On a simulated circuit the drivers, jockeys and trainers are the names attached to the colours, and the cards hand those names out one to a saddlecloth. Hers have gone to twelve different runners across fourteen engagements, the widest spread of the six profiled riders, which is an artefact of the allocation and not a style.

Five rides have settled for one third: Pennyroyal off 101 numbers in the Class A Synthetic, 3.0 lengths away at $8.29. The other four held 38, 106, 80 and 33 numbers and finished sixth, sixth, seventh and eighth. Together the five held 358 of the 5,000 numbers drawn across them, an expected 0.36 wins, and the record of none is exactly what that arithmetic describes.

Nine rides remain and they hold 839 numbers, an expected 0.84 wins. Stockyard Gate on 259 in the Saltbush Dash is the shortest at $3.07, and Ridgeback on 21 in the Coorong Nightcap the longest at $39.92, on a card at Coorong Park that has not yet settled a race in the published window.
