As I’ve said before, I gave Barney and his charming wife & another adoring Irish couple a lift back to Sydney from Wyong races in the early 80’s, we all shared some great tales about Betting in Ireland & Australia, what a privilege to have met them.

Greyhound Racing is such a wonderful sport, I enjoyed listening to this Legend.

[Ian Fortune @IanFortune]

I've known Paul Hennessy for 40yrs. He's a legend in every sense of the word and it was my joy to sit down with him recently after his 3rd English Derby victory. I hope you enjoy our chat in the latest instalment of Talking Dogs Meets.

@IanFortune @BenStarSports I’ve been in the Game for a while, and isn’t it a pleasure to listen to whoever, talking whether it be about the Horses, Dogs or Trots & knowing what they’re talking about, instead of someone rambling on & don’t really know.

Place Betting- about 350% seems fairly fair.

We were born too late?

[Garry Clarke @Garry_Clarke]

It’s always easy after the ball, but fair dinkum all he had to do was take a trail on Woke Up Dreaming & if the leader slackened the pace down the back then take off & win, if they ran the race again I’d lay 2 on the 2nd horse !

[Garry Clarke @Garry_Clarke]

Punters have & always will think
if a Bookie has it one out it would be good, it’s just the opposite, when there’s no market place punters don’t bet, BUT decades ago I worked for a Bookie at a Big meeting one out , he was competitive against himself & made it work, very clever!

If you don't get bookmakers - you have no atmosphere

You're in rapid decline

[Basher Watts @BasherWatts]

The bookmakers are on their knees but are ready to bounce back on the final day of Royal Ascot 🐎🔥

I’ll be spending the day with Kaan from @StarSports_Bet to see what it is like behind the scenes with a bookmaker on one of the busiest days of the year!

REALIZE SIRIUS parades like a boss, again.

[Garry Clarke @Garry_Clarke]

Aidan we all know once it’s happened it’s happened, but if you’re laying or backing them to put the bread & butter on the table there’s a bit more to it, as I always say, to eat well gambling on the Hooves is harder than you think.

Will Betting on Racecourses in the UK & especially Australia where the Biggest Gambling in the world took place in the 1960’s very early 70’s come back, I’m going to say yes, I’m afraid I won’t be here to see it but I’m willing to bet it will !

Haven’t been to The Derby for many years, if I ever go again I might take a plaque with Mr Wooton’s name screw it on a fence in the Paddock.

[Epsom Downs Racecourse @EpsomRacecourse]

"Nobody would be going to the Downs in 10 days if it wasn't for him" 😮

Sir Mark Prescott told us the story of Stanley Wootton who played a key role in the evolution of Epsom Downs and The Derby 💯

[Garry Clarke @Garry_Clarke]

For Professional yard watchers knowing the individual is their key, viewing the winner of the Oaks today in the yard with two handlers & being unruly & sweating up was most probably the norm for her, but to the 95% + of yard watcher’s they most probably put a line through it !
