    v sad to hear him gone, he was entertaining to say the least. Was up for a walk in bellewstown today, i always think of him hiding in the furze.
    He was able to do it in olden times and again in the modern interweb age.

    Not just a master at pulling off a gamble, but a mentor to jockeys such as Detorri, Spencer & Queally, to name but 3

    Such a sad story about his son too

    I can remember seeing him at a couple of tracks, Aintree was one, bookies shortened the price if he took one step towards them, a true legend, sadly gone

    RIP Barney

    Definitely a real character gone the spat with the two lads at the races is great to watch .He was a good judge when you see the horses that passed through his hands over the years .Any time he was at the races you could see people looking at him with a lot of them with a bit of admiration everybody likes to see a gamble pulled off except the bookies I suppose .R I P Barney .

    I was watching racing UK, and Barney had a birthday, 2 presenters, in the studio. The first one said happy birthday to Barney Curley who is 76 today, and the other fella said give him 6 months, he'll be down to 60.
