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.

Faisal Karim sits 1 of 8 trainers 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 runner 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

Karim is an engine persona. The drivers, jockeys and trainers of a simulated circuit are the names attached to the colours, which is worth stating on this page in particular, because the stable leads the trainers' table and the lead is one horse. Stockyard Gate, Fence Line and Gidgee Gold are the whole yard, and Stockyard Gate takes 12 of its 23 engagements.

Eight runners have settled for three wins, all three Stockyard Gate, at prices with no relation to one another: 67 numbers and $12.78 in the Trial, 152 and $5.51 in the Class A Synthetic, 20 and $40.78 in the Class B Flat. Between the second and third it held 21 numbers in the Class C Sprint and ran tenth of twelve. Gidgee Gold was beaten a neck off 225 numbers at Kurrajong and Fence Line was third off 223 at Mallee Park. The eight settled runners held 938 numbers for an expected 0.94 wins, so a 37.5 per cent strike rate describes a draw that fell three times and nothing else.

Fifteen runners remain, holding 1,612 numbers for an expected 1.61 wins. Stockyard Gate is in seven of the thirteen cards ahead and is best weighted in the Coorong Nightcap on 317 numbers at $2.64 and the Saltbush Dash on 259 at $3.07; it holds 24 numbers, 2.8 per cent, in the Bellbird Steeple over 4200 metres. Fence Line holds 196 in The Meridian and 17 in the Jacaranda Cup at $46.35.
