Having backed Zabeel Palace last night, the jury is out for me. Read the other thread about last night's race - lets be clear, the horse was once rated in the late 80s/90s on the flat and rattled up 4 wins over hurdles, beating the likes of Oldrik and ending up with a rating in the last 120s.
Last night, I thought the race looked very winnable and at what I considered to be a fair price (took 4s), I was good to go.
What insued was the kind of drift a Geordie canoeist would be proud of and a finishing position which reads beaten 28 lengths.
Now I've read Carney's biography and love the tails of famous gambles from days of old and admire the charity work he does in Africa.
However, this has all become beyond a joke now - this is not on.
As others have advised, I will gladly leave any race with one of his runners alone from now on.
Luke Harvey may have been an under achiever, Big Mac a fat idiot, but let me tell you, at least they have earned their living's in an honest and fair manner. One day Carney you will meet your maker and lets be frank, he ain't gonna be too impressed with the way you've conducted yourself whilst on this mortal coil.

1. Horse wants fast ground, so Southwell unlikely to suit.
2. Never, EVER, bet on a BC oss before you have a clear indication as to which way the market is going.

As for the smiley for the comment on Luke and Mac, they may be under achievers and not the best at what they did/do, but as far as I am aware, they didn't rob any punter through dishonesty. Having an opinion/beng crap does not account for honesty and a will to try your best.

As previous, if anyone has the answer, how many Classic/Championship winners has Barney trained?
Curley invested his earnings in a stable of horses which he continued to have trained for specific gambles, and in the purchase of Middleton Park House, a mansion in Mullingar, County Westmeath for which he later ran a raffle of dubious legality, earning him over £1m

How many Classics/Championship races has Barney won over all the years he has been in training?

With barney you know what you get. Play or dont play.

So by virtue of the fact that a Classic/Championship race win is recognised as a measure of true success, does that make Barney an under achiever and thus, no better than Luke/Mac?

Don't come on here and make statements which you are not willing to validate - what are you, a bloody MP.
If you have insight/knowledge then share it - don't sit smugly pretending to be better than the next man.

Speaks his mind - fair enough, but by virtue of what I have stated, he too has massively under achieved in his training career relative to its length and the amount of money he has invested in bloodstock over the years.

The lord might not care about the trivialities of racing, but to possibly fraud many thousands of people over a lifetime cannot be good.
DONT GET INVOLVED IN THEM THEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To consistently be shrouded in a cloud of uncertainty, possibly construed as hishonesty to his indigineous people who work hard, pay their money but to have not even bought a ticket for the raffle is not on.

When you got involved in racing, you knew the risks. You decided to forgive the horse's last run as you know how the game works. You love the fact that it isn't always straight so you can crow about your "clever" winners. Unlucky this time, get over it.

These comments coming from the same people who are on here crying like babies when a certain trainer enters 2 in a race and pulls out the top weight on vets orders.
You folkneed to get more consistent in your view.

Stick to that and you won't go far wrong with Barney.
Yes, you might have to take a slightly shorter price about the " Triers " but you won't need to start threads like these.

depends if you think it is an achievement paying to fill a yard with horses, paying to run the yard year upon year and to consistantly make it pay from gambling? Any one else been able to do it in the modern era? get yourself a few million and try it yourself and see how long you last. you can win as much on a class 6 handicap on the aw as you can the derby and i know which one is easier to win. the druids lodge confederates targetted handicaps for a reason.

Yet another ridiculous thread from talbot. Ranks along side your tiresome attempt to defend the yobbo owner who hit fallon in the unsaddling enclosure.
Plenty of good advice for you on this thread talbot, especially the advice of not to bet on a BC horse until you can see the betting pattern.
;)

i personally love barney curley, he has made me fortunes over the years and it will be sad day when he does finish up! if one of his is backed it generally wins if not it always loses so how can anyone call him dishonest to punters he is a punters dream in my opinion! all you have to do is wait till 5 mins before the off and back accordingly!
