    the claims of 33k on trios dont go on anywhere

    Found that strange, myself! Did he say he was putting them on in Ireland? I go racing in both Ireland and UK and the best value Trios are Shelbourne Park on a saturday night, when they guarantee the pools as long as there are 6 runners. The most I've won on a trio is €500. That was to a €1 stake, but I'd put on €20 in total. The average I win is €50.
    I thought him a Walter Mitty type. Living within his own head. Telling a total stranger how he dopes a dog is just beyond belief.
    The one thing I took from the programme was how one big trainer has been found to give his dogs Class A drugs and still be allowed train. How the Hell is he not in Jail?

    there are a lot more to lots of cases that can be covered by a mention by a biased reporter in 4 seconds of a programme.

    you have to take where the reporter is coming from not take all of what they say as the whole truth

    It was a badly researched programme. The chances of landing a gamble the way he was indicating are impossible. How many €20,000 or €10,000 dogs are there with unknown trainers like him?

    Irrespective of what anyone says it was a fairly damning report. I can't understand why people say it is biased/selective, of course it is, it's a report into corruption. The fact that so many dogs test positive for banned substances is very shocking indeed and the fact that the penalties meted out are so light is also very shocking.
