Sorry Ladies & Gentlemen, but this is ancient news!
I managed shops for one of the big three spanning 3 decades. When evening opening began in 1993, even then slagbrokes were trying to persuade staff into single manning during night racing. Betting office staff will never be saved from such dreadful conditions until they are union protected. Regretfully, I fear this eventuality will never occur. |

It's truly astonishing that a professional punter like Mick,although after another successful day is able to show remarkable compassion for the mug shop punters,by venting his anger on here towards Laddies treatment of them.
How you can blame a man that worked for Laddies in the 80's for you doing your tonsils again is incredible. Why waste all your energy directing it towards hatred and begrudgery of Coolmore and use it positively instead. |

all boils down to money and greed, tell the city that your going to make x amount and your results say y then the share price suffers. a couple of months of poor results and the levelling out of fobt business means the only guaranteed way of saving money is staff costs, they all try and come over as the all singing dancing caring company but its all a sham. unfortunately greed will always rule. make 4oo million and the next year they need to male 450 million.

I concur Slippy, not so sure about William Hill though. One day at York on the rails, WH was allegedly heard to say, "There's 1 born every minute & most of 'em come racing!" |

Hills have always said they wont go done that route, amazing that a couple of months of poor results and the process begins. they made a massive saving when they got rid of their cleaners and moved to a contract cleaner, im sure that contract is up next year, any odds they will go done the Corals route and expect staff to do it...........
i suppose results will dictate that one. after 30 years nothing surprises anymore. true Dickie and with xmas coming watch the robberies escalate |

Hey muppet mick, your phone bill must be huge and your email outbox overflowing, due to the amount of times you have contacted the BHA, regarding the daily cheating and stroking that goes on in every maiden and the massive improvement as a result, when the horse comes out and pisses up in its first handicap. Perhaps you would post on the forum, a few of the emails you have sent regarding the biggest scandal occuring daily in racing, or direct us to the thread/s on the forum, where you tackle this scandal with the same voracity and venom you have for the Worlds Greatest Trainer, his young son, staff and genius associates.

gandalf the apologist, great trainer my arse, overated , the guy has no opinion , if magnier told him to stick his hand he fire he would, it was pain staking listen to him after ledger licking weasel derek smith arse, great trainer like stoutie and cecil were always their own men, bit of backbone behind them , i remember stoutie good few yrs ago when hughsie was riding bad that he did not want him on the abdullah horses, hughsi still rode for abdullah but not stouties abdullah horses, did you think mr o brien would have this clout , he is just a yes man driven by the money and greed and his inept son riding these horses , i would not put him on a barstool

Listen, perhaps had you not spent so much time on a barstool, you might not have done your brains to Ladbrokes backing O'Brien shorties and then spend your life moaning and becoming bitter, when they got beat, because you can't handle the fact that shorties get beat or are to dumb to realise that they can get beat to begin with.
Any chance of you actually addressing the above about your concern regarding the maiden/handicap scandal as requested above, also can you give me a rough time when the gargle will kick in with you and you'll be posting your regular **** regarding when an O'Brien drifter beat his odds on shot in a Mickey Mouse race years ago, that you seem to think was on a par with the World's greatest robbery, as I want to go to bed before you post it, rather than have to see it used by you for the millionth time, as proof that the Worlds Greatest Trainer pulled a gambling coup off on a drifting horse that there wasn't a penny for on or off course. |

what you on bout maiden / handicap issue , i never mentioned anything on this to you , i highlighted the o brien issue and his rancid crew

By:
Exactly muppet
, yours is a vendetta solely against Coolmore, yet you stated on here that you are a "professional gambler" but by failing to even understand or comprehend the maiden/handicap question I asked you or the reason I asked you, all you are doing is highlighting what you class as "professional", here's what went wrong with you, O'Brien arguably sends out the most short priced runners of all trainers, with also the highest number of "second strings or even third strings" in the same race as the shortie, you were backing the shortie, because you are a "professional gambler", but because horses don't run to their market price and a stables number 1 jockey doesn't know how good a horse is until it's actually run in a competitive race on a racecourse proper and sometimes the stable number 1 jockey picks the wrong one, some shorties were beaten by the other string. You done your brains and now it has to be down to Coolmore.There's another "professional gambler" with the same modus operandi as yours, backing shorties, making so much money as a "professional" that he had to stoop to getting involved in a subscription tipping service, selling his "Golden Egg", perhaps you've heard of him, he's called Tracksuit Dave, you need a "professional gamblers" name also, here's one, Mackintosh Mick.You have every right to be critical of any owner, jockey or trainer you want to. I have the right to question your motives, as you're not being critical but rather being hateful to put it mildly and as Betfair have deleted a lot of your posts, they must feel you are stepping on very thin ice legally also, I'm not the only one on here to like the Coolmore operation, others have expressed their admiration for it, and here's one for you, a few years ago on a summers weeknight, I came in from work, had 700 in my online account, turned it into 4,500 fairly quick between Irish and UK racing, O'Brien had a horse at the Curragh, just the one of his in the race, think there were 4 or 5 runners in the race, opened maybe around 1/3, will I, won't I, went all in at 1/4, easy money, then call it a night, got well beat, it got beat because it wasn't the best horse in the race. Shlt happens. On my kids lives that's a true story. |
