the betting on the 2.50 there will be all the more interesting. sir mozart was sent off a short priced fav last time despite showing nothing at all, including over jumps. tomorrow is first start for Curely after leaving Martin, though it has been owned by Patsy Byrne for a while.

this sure fire cant be a set up. some idiots picking the price up at £4 a go!!

sir mozart more like it.

one of them will win.

good luck to barney if he can get something out of sir mozart. it's alright following him in on those that have 2 stone in hand on old form once you see support for them, quite another to have a guess up that this has inherited ability some ability in the 3 months since it last ran.

Report Cricketer April 4, 2010 10:06 PM BST
he actually has 2 other interesting ones tomorrow. securitisation at 3.30 warwick looks most interesting. the 3 at yarmouth could be the distraction!!

poor old barney. he cant have a runner without everyone crawling all over them. thats why its always worth a check on a bif day like a bank holiday, classic or national day etc.

he should use anothr name.

It's worth remembering that on the same day last year he landed a double courtesy of Northern Dune and Agapanthus. It was so nearly a treble; Elusive Hawk was a close, fast finishing 2nd, beaten a neck after trouble in running. He could well be going for some doubles and trebles tomorrow.

One things for sure it will either be out with the washing or bolting up
I bet 12-1 it dosnt finish 3rd

One things for sure - B Curley is not taking 3 horses to the same meeting on a bank holiday monday without at least one of them bolting up
Report diddles April 5, 2010 1:20 AM BST
I think ive got the plot--- bank holiday monday -- he sends 3 to yarmouth as we know he like to self certificate non runners late on.
So he sends a team all over the uk with £20 win patents on all 3 runners. takes 2 out and has a right SP job by forcing the remaining runner out on a weak bank holiday betfair market. so it starts @10-1
Then he backs it back in running to recoup.job done - well thats what i would do.

Last time someone did something like that (Gay Future) they were taken to a criminal trial and found guilty.

Now people do what they like, so he'd be able to get away with it.

Gay Future was the racehorse at the centre of an attempted coup by an Irish betting syndicate in Great Britain in 1974. The plot involved a Scottish trainer named Antony Collins initially presenting a poorly-performing horse at his stables as if it were the real Gay Future. This lowered the expectations of reviewers, and hence raised the betting odds on offer, when the real horse was entered in a race at Cartmel in Cumbria.

On the same day, two additional horses trained by Collins were entered in earlier races at other courses, but these were withdrawn shortly before the races. Syndicate members had used bookmakers away from the courses to place a large number of double and triple wagers, which involved Gay Future in combination bets with these additional horses. The last-minute withdrawals now meant that a large number of bets would roll over onto Gay Future.


I always thought Gay Future was fake, but it was back at the stable, not at the course.

Gay Future was a legitimate coup and a well planned one.

Nowadays all you need to be is a blatant stopping merchant. No need for subtlelty.
Report wizardofoz April 5, 2010 8:01 PM BST
Never been backed.

Not been in the first five.

Wins.

What a happy coincidence.
