I remember in the 70s or 80s a trainer was asked pre race on ITV about his horse.
"Will need the race and will come on for the run. Don`t expect it to win today". Horse romps home and he is back on telly immediately after the finish in an excited state. "I knew it would win, Biggest certainty that I have ever ran!". WAC. |

I think they was Geoff Huffer and if it wasn’t him you was thinking of he definitely said something similar |

That was him Lucky. I was going to bet it and he put me away. That is why I still remember it. I cursed him that day. I couldn`t remember the name but as soon as I seen your reply I remembered. Was he not a drummer in a pop group or was that someone else?

I would have said Newmarket as well, can’t remember name but always stuck in my memory.
To say that on tv made him lower than a snakes belly in my eyes |

Thanks Llamedos. Troggs rings a bell.
Same here Lucky. Lots of trainers keep their cards close to their chests which is fair enough but to act in that manner is the actions of a snake indeed and sticks in the memory. He lost all credibility and all respect from punters that day. |

Youre right Mightymac, Geoff Huffer was a drummer with Mungo Jerry.

Cheers Alices. I thought that.
He was a very good trainer and tbf probably regretted his actions before and especially after the race. |
