Pindar - Curley - interesting stat

do you remember assultan winning on a saturday in the late 80s

cheers irishman for saving 1 of your 2 posts per year to let us know that

yes then kept refusing to race

Certainly do Declan Murphy gave it a lovely ride to land the gamble.Those were the days.Also Magic Combination was a great moneyspinner for me.

then   had a few big gambles on bumper winners.keep hope alive was one i think.

First runner as a trainer was an irish bumper 25/1 to 1/1 won by 20 lenghts cant remember its name though.

Remember backing The Papparazi in a bumper at Wetherby absolutely bolting up under Murphy.

Think it was a hurdle race at Leicester.But those were happy days.

Yellow Sam was his starter gamble trained by liam Brennan

I remember them having it right off at Doncaster about November the same year of the Yellow Sam race. Liam Brennan training a horse and a chap called Ben Hannon riding it called Tommy Joe it had a British rating of about 2 stone lower then his Irish race..won with it's head in it's chest carrying Mrs Curleys colours

Ive backed it............stone in hand last time..........still well in

I'm sure Barney didn't know Jones had a horse that good.

winner won with a stone up his sleeve.................nice firm who own it ,,,rancid

A jones........Barney.................should have sat out..

I was at Windsor the day Assultan won. Can't remember if it was a Sat but i'm guessing it was.

I took 8/1 for £20 and went to watch them go to post. Went back to the bookies 5mins later to check it's price and it was 3/1!!!

Won pulling an absolute cart, sadly refused more times than it raced after that.
