    It was well done, fair play to them. I wonder if they had done an on course gamble would they have collected as much. They would have got a better opening price anyway.

    From what pieces i've read, it wasn't as much as they hoped as some of the people didn't have much English which altered some of the bookies when they handed in the money and the instructions. However a job well done.

    Wasn't there something like this in Leopardstown about 3 years ago on Saturday night when about 50 people meet up in a car park in Kildare, got their instructions and travelled to various towns in the country to place the bets all at the same time.

    D Four Dave lands Kilbeggan gamble

    Classic gamble proves a winner €200,000 in 'old-school' betting coup

    Interestingly.....

    €200,000 betting coup a dry run, says winner

    I"ve great admiration for those guys.Obviously had the horse LAID OUT for the race.Some people here would critize them for not SHOWING in previous races, but then they dont contribute to the training fees!!!.More power to them!!!!!.If they had tried to get money on at the course, the COWARDLY ACCOUNTANTS would"t have taken it at the prices on their boards. REMBER their rule "THE PUNTER SHALL NOT WIN "
    BRILLIANT !!!

    Barney Curleys piece in the Racing post summed this up. It was a nice touch but why publicise it. Fools imo.
    Philip Rothwell has been pulling these strokes for years and there has never been nothing about it.
    Barney reckons he's still owed a million from his big day to.LOL...Legend

    But it wasn't Mr. Taylor that publicised it. It was Mark Costelloe of the Irish Field who got hold of one of the instruction notes from one of the bookmakers. If that slip hadn't been handed over the counter we wouldn't have heard anything about it.

    the problem with the touch was the runners didnt take morning price.Was a runner when at school when a horse called Kashue King won the county hurdle at Cheltenham,i think.They won a fortune then i believe around 250,000 pounds.The same guys pulled a bigger stroke a lot earlier when Santa Clause won the English derby.Good look to them and long may it continue.No mention of the killing coolmore had with Nosedas horse at royal Ascot some people are saying 3 or 4 million.
