Yes, Barney bailed him out when Fatty was in financial trouble.
Barney helped many bookies out in his time before betfair?
For all of the flak that is made against Barney Curley, he's a one off character, loathed and loved by many.
Deep down he has a heart of gold and has to be praised for his fund raising efforts in Africa !

Even Sheikh Mohammed gave him £2.5 million from the sale of the Racing Post titles (£10m shared between 4 charities). He had Frankie Dettori, Jamie Spencer and Johnny Murtagh go to Africa to help.
Many jockeys have Barney to thank for their careers, including the above, plus Tom Queally, Paul Maloney & Declan Murphy who he took on after his career ending fall at Haydock to work as head lad.

Just a guess but if sum1 had a bookie determined to have you warned off as a defaulter like whatshisname then a moral soull such as Mr Rubble may intervene to get a stay of execution.
As for Mr Rubble and his supposed hatred of boomakers, well dont you believe it;)

I think you will find out Mr Curley's gripe was with the big 3 or 4 bookmakers that control british racing, not some small time lad in need of a dig out to save his knee caps.
Apparently ended up owing money to the wrong people and Barney squared it.
Barney got mac started on a seefood diet and mac hasnt seen his feet since
the old barney rants are worth a watch on youtube...slating the big 3/4 and the BHB

To clear the air, Barney Curley and Michael Wigham should have "Open Days" next Good Friday.......some chance me'thinks.
