and I don't understand why he gets the flak he does. We all know that the small trainer has to 'get one ready' now and again to survive in this game. How long has Agapanthus led the life of luxury chez Barney? How much prize money did he just earn? To those idiots who can't work it out, just follow the BC money, there's not a better meal ticket in horse racing.

Just that most people worked out that it might pay to follow a Curley gamble about 25 years ago.

The 4th one could be the funniest providing he has another winner - could see a 25/1 shot sent off odds on !.

Yes fb, which is why I don't understand the knockers. Funny, I read a post from somebody on here this morning that said that all you ever do is take the p1ss. You're obviously not very shrewd!

driver 2 Barney gets a lot of flak because his horses only run to there best once in a blue moon, as you correctly say when the money is down. The problem is when the money isn't down they run shocking, so in other words he is a cheat, no question about it, and in this country most people don't like somebody who cheats, its a simple as that

Get a horse rated 89, run it down the field a few times on purpose so everywon thinks it's rubbish, get its mark down to 63 then release the handbrake, feed it and stuff like that and then BOOOOOOOM back it off the boards. Job dun. Well shrood that....Laugh

laptop, fortunately I'm not with the majority. I love cheating, especially when I can get a piece of it.
Report walllace007 May 10, 2010 4:42 PM BST
Laptop larry. When the moneys down = back. When its not = lay. Or else just totally avoid his runners. Simple arithmetic for punters..

Some people might term what he does cheating but theres cheating in every walk of life.. Better to accept and try to profit..

wallace 007 I agree with what you say regarding betting his horses,and that cheating goes on in most walks of life, I am not pocket talking I was just answering the headline question, maybe I should have put it a bit more clearly so here goes. The reason Barney Curley gets a lot of flak is NOT because he is a cheat but because he is without doubt a BLATANT CHEAT.I doubt the connections of the horses who finish second to his many gambles will be too happy with him.

But then the punters who follow him are (for a change) delighted. Normally the trainers and jockeys that cheat us are not so transparent and for me BC is a breath of fresh air. Just stop being so righteous and get on with the rest of us. Gambling and morality have never gone hand in hand and I suggest you shouldn't be on here laptop.

Driver 2 I have just layed The ferguson horse thst fin 2nd to Barneys so his horse has just done me a favour, but for you to say I shouldn't be on here for saying he is a blatant cheat is frankly shocking and I think you owe me an appology.

If every trainer was like BC we could all give up the game.

laptop,I don't mean to offend you, but you seem to find the immorality of gambling distastful. Ok, Barney is blatant, but at least we can benefit. When the John Godsons of this world send out 2 in a race and the fav gets stuffed by the other one, we're totally fùcked because there wasn't a clue in the market. What's better?
