Derrick Flynne was different class he had every stable hand on his payroll and had people at every racecourse checking the gin.

derek flynn was the legend today he dont punt a cent make you think

@ JTL

Amphibian was an Oppenheimer horse and was on his bicycle looking assured of victory but about 2OO - 1OO mts from the winning post swerved violently to the left and crashed into the rail onto the outer road of the Clairwood Park course.

Jockey who was B Deyes I think was injured and horse put down. Trainer might have been John Breval?

@pirates:

'yes from them they only had one copy left which was second hand'

If you wish, I can scan/ copy, print & bind additional copies for clan members at worthwhile price.

Let me know what size page, no of pages in colour and in b/w.

I am trying to buy the DVD at the robots, sounds a superb read

Flash,has he just given up horses or does he not punt anything at all.................I know a few big punters who have switched to poker!

Here I Am

Didn't have to reach too far back into the annals of history to find this notable smash and grab. Had earmarked the horse myself as one to watch next time - the start prior to the coup, the horse had led into the final 200 when it stumbled/jock fell off, so on paper run looked very poor, when it was anything but..

Bookmakers forgot to factor this in when pricing up, but some shrewd punters made X-Mas in May:)-D I myself felt robbed having only managed to grab some 14/1. Not sure how much volume of cash needed to shorten from 100 to 15/2 though, perhaps Carl Burger knows?

2012-05-02 Kenilworth 1200 ? 58.0 A B 5 1 -0.10 *LITTLE PEARL Craig Du Plooy 72.38 100/1 15/2 Very Soft R53360- MAIDEN JUVENILE PLATE 2yolds

40/1 to 6/1 at the bigT a few weeks back,ladbrokes refused to lay me £60 ew at 25/1 and cut the horse to 14/1 so i refused a bet...


A few on this site got a few bucks

Sir tekkietown never scared to punt his horses no matter the price when carl have confidence......and he shorten them bigtime with the amount he punt.
