Is this either a repeat? Or a filmed a long time ago???

Because I believe poor Lucy Stack is RIP

It's good. Interesting, I am enjoying it.

Anyone else watching?

Yeah, filmed over 4 years, he'd want to have had a few winners

amdublin · 28-07-2015 9:06pm

Started 4 years ago and up to date now?

Oh, was that the blonde lady talking to the dad real loud, presume he is hard of hearing?

There's one horse gone... (50% loss)

I presume it costs money to enter all these races?

Yes initially I was like, whoa she's a shouter, but then I figured that he was a bit hard of hearing!

Yes that is her. She was only 28. Tragic.

Oh I see a Lucy now, lovely looking girl

Plus expense of bringing horses to Uk, livery etc

Glue factory if they don't win soon

I can't see him making his money back. Or profit.

But what do I know??

amdublin · 28-07-2015 9:17pm

Would the horse not have been vet checked also before he bought it?

somesoldiers · 28-07-2015 9:17pm

Jaysus, his luck is getting worse

You'd think, Cecelia better get out the typewriter

somesoldiers · 28-07-2015 9:21pm

Didn't know they had racing in Czech Republic!

amdublin · 28-07-2015 9:22pm

Oh god this is a depressing program!!!!

somesoldiers · 28-07-2015 9:25pm

There are too many big guns with bottomless pockets of money, he never stood a chance really

amdublin · 28-07-2015 9:26pm

Surely down more?!!!

I enjoyed that. But left a lot of unanswered questions. How do you "keep going" and trying with those kind of losses. It's not a job, it's a very expensive hobby if it keeps going this way.

Very expensive with potentially very little reward, was it clear how he afforded it (aside from his initial winner), is that his "job"?

Great programme. As a greyhound owner (much smaller scale!) it was very realistic. Well done!
