Haha! I only back horses to win in 3 races.. all lost! BUT I had a nice 11/1 double with VC "Cozy Tiger 3-30 , Lisbon Lion 5-30 both to be placed" I even posted it in for the 3-30 forum race to prevent any aftertiming! Anyway, so I've managed to claw back a 200 profit today.
What about you? Fekin Curley, damn his horses with no form! |
|
By:
I wonder how much will curley donate to the charity
|
|
By:
haha, nice one!!no bets today, didnt back scarlet rock in the end, a bit short, shouldve just backed last night!!amazing gamble by curley alright, guess u gotta take notice when his horses are being backed 25s in to 5/4 WOW!
|
|
By:
haha billybob, i wonder indeed!!!i think this one was just for him
 |
|
By:
fair play to him
|
|
By:
yeah im delighted, love when the bookies take a bashing!!i know people think otherwise bout him but its simple, dont play in his races!!
|
|
By:
I think I read somewhere before that he said after he retires if he pulls off a gamble a large chunk goes to charity as he doesnt need much of it
|
|
By:
yeah he set up a charity i think!!its all on wiki, fair play!!
|
|
By:
Any of you lads read his Autobiography? Applaud his charity work and all, just don't like how he thinks he is never wrong. Don't really know what to make of plotting of horses either, everyone is at it, just his get a lot more hype and following.
|
|
By:
No i have not read the book but I am going to go see if I can find it on Ebay or some online book shop.He would be a great entertainer over a few pints
|
|
By:
never read it man, im gonna tho!!!that was a monster today tho, matr said it was possibly the biggest in the history of the sport?this true?
|
|
By:
The horse of his that lost today was an absolutely ridiculous price too. I wondered if he planned for 1st two to win and knew everyone would lump on the 3rd one and he was waiting to lay it - who knows!
|
|
By:
Not too sure about that.I would think if the last one had been landed then through all the muliplys then yeah but you can never really believe bookies when they use these events as Pr stunts.The bottom line is that curley is curley and I doubt bookies would take as much cash as other trainers
|
|
By:
lol i thought exactly the same thing ryan, i doubt it tbh but it did cross my mind!!id say there was some massive 4folds tho!! a 1 quid lucky 15 on his 4 horses at their initial odds paid out over 11 grand
 |
|
By:
Guess it's hard to equate with other gambles and money back then didn't sound as much, but it was worth a lot more. Yeah his book is a good read, a lot more fascinating than today's 'pro' punters.. cheap on amazon, is used mind.
|
|
By:
would never buy a used book.You never know whats been touching those pages,Do you want your hands on pages that have been previously touched by man willie
 |

By:
u crazy kids |
|
By:
Thing is though, wouldn't a lot of casual punters not know about the 4th horse with Grant? My old man was telling me about the massive gamble on the Grant horse early in the morn and I thought it was something totally unrelated. Mind you, I didn't even know the horses name or who it was trained with, just thought he was harking on about some donkey.
|
|
By:
BillyBob, haha! Yeah totally fair point, I wouldn't either. My old man gave me it to read.. now that you said that.. EWW! Wish you hadn't of said that, sick!
|
|
By:
Ironic that it's titled "Giving a Little Back"
|
|
By:
Did you just touch the keypad with those fingers .
Oh well Dell have a sale at the moment |
|
By:
thats true ryan although a fair fewon here seemed to kno barney used to train that horse and sold it to grant so im sure punters really in to it would have had an idea!!not like us
|

hope its not a piss read

read THIS AHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAH |
|
By:
Or a **** read?!
My poor Missus too! I only found out today that Grant was once assistant trainer to Curley Ilwab! Thought I knew the NH so well lol. |
|
By:
Think Barney was pretty out of order to Luke, with all the underachiever stuff.. which although true, no need for it.
|
|
By:
agree but luke was laughing and mccrick was shaking in his boots LOL |
|
By:
I don't really understand how Curley can complain about people not taking his bets though.. if you was a bookmaker in the ring, you would have to be stupid to take a big bet off him. Hardly gets it wrong, generally his horses have like 10lb in hand, probably more.
|
|
By:
i agree, how would anyone take his bets lol i suppose he gets people to do it for him (like diddles) LOL
|
|
By:
Yeah.. bookies don't really take risks with his runners though, always priced low in mornings. Obviously apart from the Grant runner, clearly they forgot that he had any associaion with it. Anyway, am sure they will all be priced even lower next time and will probably lose!
Fancy anything tomorrow? |
|
By:
he lay them then LOL!!nothing man, havent even looked!!next bet will be wednesday i think!!showcasing at york either just place or w/p!!
|
|
By:
yourself??
|
|
By:
Was just looking at that race! God it's so annoying when the faces just disappear?! Am seriously contemplating backing Mullionmileanhour with PP at 8/1 NRNB GP.. Lost for me last time, thought it was unlucky to lose on the nod, obviously Equiano won NTO too. How come you like showcasing?
|
|
By:
Is the draw going to be as big a factor than recent years? Only 12 runners this time.. ours both highest, not good for the stats.. so hoping it won't have as much significance
|
|
By:
barneys a legend!! defo advise to read his book!!
|
|
By:
i was just gonna say that re draw!!i think his form is v solid, also has course form, unexposed too!!!i dont see him out of first 3, glad theyre sticking with sprinting too!!dont kno what too make of o briens! and just not a big main aim fan!!
|
|
By:
Well enough negatives surrounding Ballydoyle and the grp1 penalty it has to carry against unexposed horses like you say. Agree about Main Aim too, well inconsistent! Yeah Showcasing could be anything, not too sure about that grp1 form of his though. No 3 YO won this in last 10 years, don't know how much further back it goes or how many have tried. Personally think Showcasing is more priced upon hype. GL if you play anyway. Fancy Five Star Wilsham tomorrow Newt Ab 7-30.. so cheer it on if you see it!
|
|
By:
will do
no 3yr old thats interesting!!i was contemplating a place lay on o briens!!hes never had a horse as quick apparently:) |
|
By:
So quick he doesn't even stay 5f, he's a 1f horse! |
