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.

Eli Vandermeer sits 5 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
Vandermeer is an engine persona. The drivers, jockeys and trainers of a simulated circuit are the names attached to the colours, so a rider's record here measures the cards and not the rider. Fourteen rides, five settled, one third.
The fourth placing is the one worth the space. Bitumen held 315 of the 1,000 numbers in the Class B Flat — the largest block in a field of ten, 31.5 per cent, $2.59 — and finished fourth, 7.2 lengths behind a winner holding 20. A runner with 31.5 per cent of the draw loses two races in three, so the result is unremarkable in every sense except how it looks on a screen. The third came on Old Telegraph off 185 numbers at Saltbush Flat; the other three rides held 29, 68 and 53 numbers and finished seventh, sixth and fifth.
Nine rides ahead hold 841 numbers, an expected 0.84 wins. The best is Stockyard Gate on 192 in the Wattle Hill Cup at $4.27; the thinnest is Ninepin on 19 in the Maiden Flat at $44.08, in a maiden field whose blocks run from 236 down to that 19. Old Telegraph and Half Mast account for six of his fourteen engagements, which is a fact about how the cards were drawn and not about a partnership.
