.....Noel ......

Good pal of Joe 90's ,never missed a meeting.Very sad news.

Was he a smallish man with glasses workrider?, if its the man im thinking of, he wouldnt have been any more than very early 60's, possibly less.
The guy i have in mind was regularly with Joe 90, and was always around the tote office in Leopardstown.
I actually spoke to Joe 90 in Kilbeggan on Saturday night, and he seemed in good form. I wouldnt say this man was dead at that stage.

Pal of Joe Soaap , yes Jimeen 58yrs ,small guy with glasses always had the racing post with him, never missed Thurles either . He didn't drive and was always on the train.

Yes i know him, sad to hear that.
Last time i saw him was in Leopardstown on one of those big Sundays that they have in January/February. He looked perfect that day to me.
I assume he must have got cancer and it looks like it has taken the poor guy pretty swiftly.
Didnt know him , but struck me as being completely harmless, much like Joe 90 to be honest.

Spot on Jimeen.

Knew Noel aswell,he would be in powers in lemon street in town,would be showing you all his placepots he had done for the day,terrible nice guy,r.i.p,his favourite course would be Thurles,he would never miss a meeting there hail rain or snow,

Nice to see a thread on THE Irish Forum about Noel. I knew him a long time and he was a particularly dedicated and avid racegoer. He never drove but managed to get to a phenomenal amount of meetings. Trains, buses and automobiles took him to tracks you would least expect too see him attend. He was a keen Tote punter both at the Races and at the Dogs. A one off and character he will be missed. May he R.I.P.

I think I know this man. Would he have hung around the old tote credit hall in leopards town. If you could describe joe 90 I might have a better idea.

Good honest to God racing man . RIP Noel
