Everyone has two lives.If you live to the age of 90 ,you will sleep for 30 years,and be  awake for 60 years.The 30 years sleep life is the best,anything you wish can happen in it.
most people will say"i am tired,im off to bed"but what they are really saying is "i am away to my second life"Crazy

That's not the interview Hulk.The original interview has mysteriously disappeared from the internet.Wonder who did that? not!
Anyway the original interview had Barney Curley warning punters about bookmaker restrictions to their betting!
Problem for the bookies/bookie media is they never interview real punters for just this fact.
So the original interview was gone.This interview is edited.

Most of you will know this story, but it's worth listening again to Barney telling us how he pulled off one of racing's greatest coups. Great man in my opinion.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzYBzcIIgXw

how did Barney save McCriricks bacon ?  per the interview.

John certainly wasn't arguing when Barney reminded him ...

Report howard May 23, 2023 11:15 AM BST

My bank manager says thanks for that final multi coup landed Barney , RIP.

ignorant? And what do you think you are formof? You spend your life posting trash on this forum, Barney spent the last 25 years of his life looking after his charity, DAFA, more than you are ever likely to achieve. Barney Curley was a good man and there's no hypocrisy in saying that!

Was training to become a Jesuit priest as a young un.

Could have titled his autobiography "Father Upham" , as a tribute to the bookmakers he shafted.

Most of us do things for charity but don’t bring it to light. I myself helmet have given a nice amount so keep the rubbish you spout under the zip…..the day in Q on the channel he was an ignorant sod…..

You must be thick as mince if you believe some of the rubbish regarding his alleged gambles ffs…..
Report the dealer May 23, 2023 3:15 PM BST
I can tell you his last gamble years ago, where he knocked in 5 winners was an incredibly well planned coup, that must have taken 2 years to come to fruition and landed him millions.

Dead 2 years let’s all remember him ffs give it a rest

What do you think of‘people’ in the game who know the result before the saddle goes on  ? I reckon it could be possible you could have punted one…..undesirables……loads of them keep up remembering…..ffs
