Re: RIP Mr Barney Curley.
He was a legend I remember one day a horse he trained was running and one bookmaker in our town gave early prices for every race, so I got someone I know to have £10 win and take the early price he came back so pleased he got 14/1 then told me he had £5 each way because it was such a good price, it won at 5/2..
