Tracksuitdave

I don’t think he mentioned any illness apart from bone problems as a five year old,hence the limp….

Got cancer I believe.

Ffs that’s not good,best wishes to the guy a likeable bloke..

Can't be accused of being modest...Very best of luck to him with the health.

Thanks for the link mrc, enjoyed the watch.

Best wishes Dave really enjoyed that today. An absolute gent.

Got ridiculed on here by the usual suspects if i remember rightly.

This is for you Irish are Lucky.  I use tracksuit Dave as I am very well known at the race tracks and if ever you have read a coloumn by John Best in the Racing Post or Tony Staffords piece in Racing Outlook about a year ago I am always mentioned as the guy who wears tracksuit bottoms, hope this has been a help - and as for you Mange of course you can have a pair of my tracksuit bottoms - post your address and I will send you a pair - jump judge.  I am waiting for 2 Horses in the Last race (Market Rasen) for the Place Pot £10 A Line. (Rockinhorsescience) Kelticlord)

Nice aftertime too. Rockinhorsescience won the race.

This is the real tracksuitdave who was on the nick luck show this morning,( I THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR SO MANY KIND WORDS } I will fight this cancer until it beats me.  Good luck with your punting, as i hope i can see you again soon at the races. T.D

Respect Dave and the very best of luck   

very best of luck Dave sorry to hear about it fight it untill you beat it trackie plenty have beaten it and sure you can mate !

Thank you, appreciate it. Now the battle starts for me. Thank you once again for all your kind words. xxx

Best of British to you Dave.

Yeah all the best Dave....Top Man.

Hope you get the 5 years (and more). GL

Hopalong Cassidy love it Dave.

you can beat this trackie ! keep  believing ,best of luck.

Good luck with your fight Dave
One of the good guys

Not easy mate but try to keep positive and keep telling yourself you get well you did really well on the show

Did you enjoy the show Dave? you came across really well.

I hope your treatment goes well. Best of luck to you, in the meantime, keep backing those winners!

Good luck Dave with your treatment, enjoyed your slot on the programme although it was a bit annoying every time you tried to mention certain jockeys Nick Luck tried to shut you up! I suppose they can't have anything on the show that could be deemed as damaging!
Hope you get at least 5 years..

Good luck with the treatment and hope you beat it.

Watched the programme last night....really enjoyed hearing some of TracksuitDaves stories. Sound like a great life....one I would have loved to have lived myself as I LOVE horseracing and gambling. A great character and wishing you all the best m8 with your treatment. With regards the C word I have read that starving the body ie fasting kills off any potential cancerous cells and regenerates new ones....anything is worth a try to prolong your life. I may be wrong but just trying to help.
Also Tracksuit any chance of a couple of tips on here m8?? Cheers

DancingBraveTheBest, and all of you, thank for your kind words.( Hospital thursday ) and again the folloing friday. Im not betting at the momment as need to be in the right frame of mind. I wish you all well with your punting. And once again thank you.  T.D

All the best Jump Judge .

A fascinating but frustrating interview imo. TSD tended to ramble and repeat himself (a bit like Harry in his pomp) but it seemed like every time he got to an interesting point, Nick Luck interrupted him.

GL & GWS if possible.

Mentioning the ATR tracker within the first couple of minutes was a classic.

Other trackers are available   including RacingTV.


Tells  more questionable stories than Aesop.

Yes DG12. And whenever TSD mentioned ATR, which was often, he was quick to realise, and mention RTV for balance.

Except he never named RTV, he just called it "your channel".

Enjoyed the show Dave. Good luck with the treatment and hopefully you'll have many more years. A relative of mine had a cancer op in 2009 and he said at the time if he got 5 years he'd be happy. That's 15 years ago and he's still going strong. He was older than you also and is now 91 years old. Being positive helps also.

From personal experience,stay strong and stay positive,good luck,it can be beaten.

Any news on Tracksuit Dave, I hope he is keeping alright, haven't heard anything since he was on with Nick Luck.

Anyone

no news geoff

g. hall don't know where the Geoff came from ,heard nothing hopefully no news is good news.

Good evening everyone, I've been contacted by a good friend of mine who knows Dave and he has asked me to make a post on his behalf as he doesn't post on the forum himself.

"....however, Dave isn't well at all, poor man.
A few lads are going to Spain soon - probably his last time.

He's also trying to go to the Grand National for the last time, but, may not make it sadly."

My mate wanted you all to have that update.

Cheers slippy
Do you know if it's Benidorm he's going to, I'm assuming it is as that was his favourite place... And is it for Cheltenham? Hope so, because I'm out there then and will know where to find him... haven't seen him for years and would love to see him again

Thanks for posting

Best wishes to a decent guy.

I'll be out there too Reg.
8th to the 22nd.
Will he be in 'The Winning Post' at all Slippy?

I saw him at Plumpton two weeks ago and guess he will be there tomorrow

Remember him at Lingfield behind the camera with a winning wad of readies…

Harmless but knew the game…

Yes, you're probably right Mr.C.
I'm going so may see him there, and you as well perhaps!

Leif, I'm out there from 8th to 15th,Saturday to Saturday
You're out there for St Patrick's week celebrations as well?

Apparently so Reg.
Liverpool play Spurs on the 16th in the EFL cup, hopefully to go someway in atoning for yesterday's debacle.

I'm on my way to Plumpton now.
If I see our man t.s.d. I'll make sure I say hi to him over a coffee.

wish him all the best from me and the rest of the forum slippy and good luck .

Enjoy slippy let him know the forum are thinking of him.

Leif I thought the scousers were playing new castle

i will. should be fun. for me

I had a good chat with Dave this afternoon and mentioned this thread and that  people were asking after him. He was genuinely touched as he had no idea that folks on the forum were wishing him well and concerned about his health.

He said to say thanks and he will be watching Cheltenham with friends in Blighty and will be in Palma, Majorca for the Grand National meeting. Also he was a bit miffed about somebody on Twitter pretending he was him! Which was rather confusing to him.

He was in great form and backed a couple of winners whilst we chatted and had a nice wad of £50's which was pleasing to see.

Healthwise, he was very candid about that but it certainly wasn't holding him back from enjoying his day out. We swapped numbers and will no doubt meet up again

It was a pleasure being in his company I must say.

Leif I thought the scousers were playing new castle

soz, you're quite correct.

I spoke with slippy blue today at Plumpton, a nice guy. Anyway thanks again for your kind words, i am going to Palma nova majorca from the 11th until the 14th of April. Meeting in Cyrils bar on saturday the 12th from 7.30 onwards. So if anyone on the forum is going to be there on the 12th saturday night, your more than welcome to join me.  At the moment about 30 of my friends and counting are coming. Im putting some money behind the bar and a buffet on the night. As for my healf ive been told i have incurable cancer, but the hospital are trying to give me a better quality with a certain cancer tablet that hopefully slows it down. they have given me one to two years to live. I am a fighter but harder men than me have lost to this crap disease. I have had a horse named after me is South Africa, yes you have guessed it its called  (Tracksuitdave) A guy called me after being on the Nick Luck show and said would like to name a horse after me, at first i thought it was a joke, then he told me his name (Joao Da Mata)
he worked for ATR a few years ago.  What a lovley thing to do. Anyway the horse is now in training, and if i am fit enough im hoping to go to South africa to watch it run, Fingers Crossed. I am also doing a picece for the sun news paper that should be out just before Cheltenham. Once again Good Luck with your punting, and dont forget your all welcome to join me in spain. xxx

wishing you well dave hope you back plenty of winners

Nich touch that Dave from Joao. Hope it wins one for you to toast.
Enjoy your trip to majorca with your pals.
Keep fighting fella!

good luck Dave keep fighting

Best wishes T.D. I have 2 great friends currently in a similar situation with up to 2 years to live with this bstd of a disease.

Continuing to go racing will be nothing but beneficial to your health with so much fresh air hopefully.


Keep battling away as we all must.

All the best, TSD

Continuing to go racing will be nothing but beneficial to your health with so much fresh air hopefully.

Amazingly, during the plandemic, the 'government' cared so much about your health sparrow, that they stopped you from going out in the sunshine and fresh air. People were being followed in the middle of nowhere by police drones.

Just hold that thought for a few seconds.

The covid conspiracy mug appears again to bore us all on his life's obsession.

Give it a rest man for goodness sake.

Can you comprehend the sheer hypocrisy of it?

Being fully on board with the 'lockdowns' and then telling people to get out into the fresh air and sunshine for the benefit of their health. Seriously, FRO.

I never once was stopped from going out, never heard of anyone who was either.

Well good for you, GC, but during the plandemic tyranny you were only allowed out for one hour a day during the 'lockdowns'.

https://x.com/iluminatibot/status/1888951112041955555

tens of thousands of fines were handed out for being out in the fresh air / sunshine.

https://www.scadr.ac.uk/news-and-events/news-when-did-fines-issued-police-breaking-covid-rules-peak

.. Rubbish George, just recall putting a silly mask on that was about it, otherwise out most days to get the shopping ( pub ).

^^ what's that, Scotch mist?

     If you’re able to leave your home and are not self-isolating
You can shop for food and other essentials in person unless you are self-isolating.

If you need to go to the supermarket, you should:

shop alone where possible, as this will reduce the number of contact points between people
follow social distancing guidance in store - supermarkets need to be COVID-secure

https://x.com/iluminatibot/status/1888951112041955555

Some people have short memories George.....the whole scam was a disgrace....all been said on here before but those who refuse to believe anything untoward was occurring will never change their minds just like us who felt the whole Covid episode was a charade will not change our minds. I know where I am glad my beliefs are and I have no pin pricks in my arms which I am glad I never bowed to the pressure to be a guinea pig.

... Well said, but unfortunately nothing to do with the original point that George said ...

  " they stopped you going out in the sunshine and fresh air "

I think 1 hour a day was allowed which was ridiculous

Good luck Dave. Joao is a top bloke, was really good tipster, is he still on Sky?

monmaniac boy george with sidekick dbthebore derail tsd fred with their obsession

nobody can be sure the shakedown was the best thing for something unprecedented and its possible it was a bit ott but it wasnt a 'scam' as the conspiracy mugs claim

i roamed round ampstead eaf daily with no problem

So I've 'derailed' the thread, have I?

I wondered who'd be the first numbskull to claim this.

I obviously wish Dave well.

But as you mention it, madtolo, it is worth pointing out that people in Dave's situation were actually told to "STAY HOME, SAVE THE NHS" during the insanity of 2020-21.

So madtolo, how many people do you think had their diagnoses / treatments delayed resulting in needlessly premature deaths?

2

The government's own report in 2020 estimated lockdowns would cost over 200,000 lives. They then decided to impose another lockdown.

I got a message from our man Tracksuit Dave this morning to say he's mentioned in The Sun's Cheltenham pull out section tomorrow.

He's going to Plumpton today b.t.w.

thanks slippy good luck to Dave and you !

Any updates on how Dave is doing?

he posted on here about 3 weeks ago iirc hope all's well with  Dave .

I last bumped into Tracky at Plumpton on the 18/11/2024.......We had a great afternoon and he was as honest as he always is. So many stories.
Still got a fantastic pic of us laughing in my phone

Hope you are well my Friend....Be Lucky and keep kicking.... Steve

Maybe catch you down there again Slippy

love dave never been the same since gary moore intrest

I heard from T.S.D. recently, he's gone on holiday for a few weeks and is battling away and fighting the good fight. He looked and sounded in grand form and sent a video of him after collecting a few sovs after banging in another winner.

He's hoping to meet up @ Plumoton on November 3rd or if not then the meeting on the 17th.

Good to hear TSD doing well......all the best
