Miss wales rip

Very sad to hear this as he was a good poster on here and as private has said very knowledgeable of the game. R.I.P. Miss Wales.

Sorry to hear the news, God Bless.

r.i.p another good dog man gone

Devastated. He was looking forward to his retirement and didn't say anything to me about ill health

met him only once briefly on a night at BV
he arranged a trophy presentation race for a few of the lads who were regulars on the bags back in the day
he also had legs in horses with the late ken slack which we sent a few messages back & forth about
remarkably a few years ago there was 1 day at ayr a horse that I had a small share in at the time ran in the same race as his horse with ken
neither won but small world!!
a really nice, knowledgeable, generous man
RIP

Chat on here about few of his runners in Ireland  few years back
Very sad to here that
RIP

Chris laid me Farloe Barracuda in the Scurry and when the dog went wrong after winning his semi, Chris wouldn't take the money off me

Had lots of great times horse racing and dog racing with him

I will miss him greatly

Sad news
Nice fellah
Nearly met up one year
At melbourne cup, sorry i missed him
R i p

Never knew him personally but it is a sad day for his family and friends so my condolences go out to them .

I never met the chap but always read his knowledgeable posts on here, very sad news when we lose one of our own.

very sad news

Very sad indeed.

RIP , was a top poster on here ,Seems an even better man in real life  ..

I was shocked when i heard this yesterday morning....always had a drink with Chris when we where in the same place either side of the sea..
Used to always watch the football together in the boozer before heading down to Shelbourne on the big nights..
He was a lovely man and will be missed, thoughts with his family and many friends..
RIP

Big Everton fan

He was such an obliging fella

Never met but always good posts. RIP.

Met Chris a few times thro pf after reading his knowledgable posts on here,a lovely man and very warm hearted.

Condolences to his very many friends and family.

RIP

I am sorry to hear

I used to banter with him on here over the qualities of the Belle Vue starter some years ago

I did not know it was a man

But sounds a good dog man, a sad loss....condolences to friends and family,,rip

Think he was an official in the belle vue owners club gery

ta...very sad

Any1 i speak to for 2 hrs and hardly lift my head to watch a race on a n.o.s. card had to av summit serious to say. To be fair could av listened to him all night. Wot e didn,t know about the game wasn,t worth knowing.

Genuinely nice fella and a good judge of character

Would do anything for anyone

Yes he had you sussed out woody

RIP very sad to hear

Never met him but he was an intelligent poster and seemed a proper dog man. RIP

Never met the man, but had plenty chat with him on here, kept me up to speed with the zoo. RIP my friend.

I hope ppl will forgive me a little self indulgence here with this post but it's just to highlight how a simple post from a knowledgable forum member,that Chris was, can make a material difference to your life.

After diva had won the notts comp we sent her to bellers for the oaks..a trip unsuitable for sure but it seemed like a must do option at the time.

Chris's mate did late sectionals at all trial sessions and he went out of his way to message me after her trial there to say that divas late sectionals were exceptional,it may not have seemed much to him at the time but the fact he went out of his way to tell me the figures encouraged us to step her up in trip asap as soon as the oaks campaign was done which resulted in her winning debut over the trip on towcester opening night.

It's just a tale of how,despite all its negatives,forum posts and friends can have a direct influence on what happens in the field of play.

I sincerely hope Chris bet her that night at towcester.

RIP Chris,a true dog man.

like others i never knew miss wales but was aware he was a knowledgeable contributor without an agenda that was kind hearted with corrections and advice.....on reading some of the additional attributes the man held its a shame i never knew him....condolences to his family and friends....

sad news read his posts on here with interest
rip

great thread,sad for you guys who lost a friend.

I never knew him personally but the thread hits hard at the moment with me so R.I.P to one of the doggy boys and hopefully his family are finding peace and strength in such utter heartbreaking times for them.

Ah no way....sad news. RIP Chris.

Met Chris at BV and also at Everton games in the past.
