Couldn't be sure Cardiff, read somewhere he'd busted a number of banks, but always found a way back.

Thought he was a great tennis aficionado in the Agassi era. Be interesting when he writes his memoir's. All this carping on here and petty jealousy. Life we'd all want if we could do it. Suspect Harry has got more brains and balls than most on here.

His autobiography was due some time ago, ghost-written by an RP journo. Since it has not appeared, one imagines Harry has had second thoughts, perhaps due to the BHA ban over laying and the fallout from that. |

By:
he might also have confessed in his autobiography to where his money came from and there will be several people (and one public company) not too keen on that being revealed.

He had a betting shop at one time;he opened it in partnership with a young chap who knew very little about the business.
Findlay and Bowler Turf Accountants. After six weeks came the fateful day when short priced favourites were being returned at ridiculously inflated odds. The shops were being slaughtered but the course layers kept knocking the prices out and the favoured selections kept winning. Harry,being a shrewdie ,took them all on. That evening he left town and in so doing left young Bowler in the khaki stuff. 1983 and I think one of the horses was trained by the late Sir Henry,ridden by Lester and owned by Mr St George,perhaps it was called Sing Softly. |

Some four years later Harry made a comeback. I believe he made a killing on a football bet. Not being interested in the game at all I cannot tell you what the bet was but I think it was something to do with Arsenal.

If you live in High Wycombe you may know the shop. It was situated on the left corner of the junction of a road that goes from Downley to Hughendon Road,going between Broom and Wade and Harrison De La Rue. An old Alf Freeman business it had some other colourful owners and was once run by a certain Leslie Spencer.I doubt it was THE L Spencer.
