The games gone now or i would travel to one of the tracks to bookie.Went to donny a couple of years ago for 5 or 6 weeks with a m8.Remember the first night sitting in the car park seeing 54 seater buses comin in full one after the other.Loads of partys up stairs and about 3 punters in the ring
Betting to 120% and fielding about £1k over 12 races almost impossible to make it pay travelling 350 miles.Went to Perry Barr and were all set to start but again went on a saturday night and the place was mobbed but nobody was betting.All 6 packers betting in quids and they were fielding washers so decided not to go. |

For some it is a way of life.I love it but not if it costs.Made that mistake at the flaps and vowed never again.
|
|
By:

|
|
By:

|
|
By:
Was brought up with them patrick.My mother trained at Shawfield for 30 years and my sis still does.Had my bookie licence since i was about 22.Tried loads of places but the game is hard without turnover and i stick to harness racing and some points for bookying.By the way my other username is bookie25 lol.
|
|
By:

|
|
By:

|
|
By:
Why couldnt you run it beebs?Didnt you have a licence?Last dog we tried to buy was Like The Clappers after it was a bit iffy st Sunderland.Remember when i spoke to Gerry Hollian he said ta be sure he had a little look but sure not asbad as the Stan
.I was buckled.Offered 4.5k but he wanted more so didnt get him.Best i have owned was Sewmuch Speed with Charlie not because he was the fastest but we bred him ourselves. |

|
|
By:
Like The Clappers
That the one Gerry had the won up the hill at Cheltenham? |
|
By:
like 4 here.looks very well treated.
|
|
By:
I think so PF.He hadanother one Melview something or something like that,went to Colton i think.Not sure which one won at chelters(maybe both).At the time we were looking for a good flapper.
|
|
By:
4 never sighted.
|
|
By:
last dog i bid for was hypnotic stag a derby finalist bought by freddie honour
|
|
By:
Had some gears that Liketheclappers did
|
|
By:
6 ran v well,think its going 2 lengths better mid/wide than last week? ho hum
|
|
By:
Sad to think it was that long ago.Just cant see the benefit of having one now.
|
|
By:
think liketheclappers maybe won a heat and got beat by ballymac rooster in the final?
|
|
By:
sorry just checked,thats wrong
|
|
By:
Agree PF.We thought he was 100% and landed on the inside of a railer at the 3rd bend at sland and moved off rather than fought and he would have been a real good flapper.Wanted too much for him though with his card marked.Felt 4.5k was a fair offer for a dog with his card marked that was only a sprinter.I might never have became a bookie if we had got that dog lol.
|
|
By:
Liketheclappers was the year after Rooster i think PS, remember Rooster well, slowly away each round and then powered up the hill, didn't have many other winners that festival and it was fkin -10 that week
