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.

Kaz Tupou sits 3 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

Tupou is an engine persona: the drivers, jockeys and trainers here are names attached to colours, and the only thing a rider's page can honestly record is which blocks of the draw those colours held. His five settled rides held 357 of the 5,000 numbers drawn across them, less than any other profiled rider, for an expected 0.36 wins.

He has one, and it is the biggest dividend on the circuit. Stockyard Gate held 20 numbers in the Class B Flat at Mallee Park, 2.0 per cent and an implied 2.5 on a book of 122.7, and came out first in the drawn order at $40.78. A second runner in the same field held an identical 20-number block at the same price and finished tenth, 27 lengths away. The other four rides held 36, 20, 128 and 153 numbers and finished eighth, ninth, fifth and fourth.

Nine rides ahead hold 929 numbers, an expected 0.93 wins. Stockyard Gate appears in four of them. The widest spread on his page is Sunday Pages: ten numbers at $80.39 in The Meridian, against the 327 the same runner holds in the Tin Creek Classic the day before for another rider. He also takes Sour Face on 228 numbers in the Bellbird Steeple, a runner with no profile on this site.
