Very sad to say the days of JP betting one With Freddie to win one that would pay off the national debt are long gone no doubt you will recall the race. Hope you are well. Ronnie. |

Hi Jimnast,I only know because knew the old boy well who worked for Freddie,George Johnston,he used to tell Ricky all the business
 ,yes funny how Jonjo who quite rightly gets plenty of stick could get it right when they really meant it,without checking don't think the horse did much after? Presumably heading for Newcastle Friday? |
|
By:
Yes going to Newcastle Thursday breaking the journey by going to wetherby where you can pronounce the jonjo horses name
|

By:
Yes see you there,could be a few runners for a change,lovely to get back to proper fields and competitive racing at Donny.

------------ Means "On the Pig's Back" in Irish,the white knuckle bets are nowhere near as common these days with the advent of the exchanges. |
|
By:
Thanks for that punchestown ribero can now say on the pigs back when I ask him to pronounce it on Thursday.
Regarding the white knuckle bets Freddie might as well of wrote the bet on the back of his hand rather than putting it in the book as he would have struggled to bet up to it. |

Even on the exchanges you would never get a bet like that the big Australian punter dipped his toes in laying on here around 15 years ago possibly longer but soon left with his tail between his legs.
