    I read 'The Black Horse is dying'. It's good in fairness.

    1/2 way through it. Interesting read so far about Northern Dancer & who were the big players back in the 70/80s. Vincent O'Brien was some trainer.

    Did anyone else laugh at this bit?

    It raised my eyebrows.. but I am not that surprised.

    What I don't understand however is the lengths that the stable has gone to pull the horse? You only have to see the shight going on in Dundalk every Friday night if you were planning a few lays for a few quid.

    It just seems like a lot to be doing to make maybe 3 grand? Yet it is being hyped up like some sort of an international conspiracy?

    It is head scratching, am I missing something?

    We heard about Betfair. Perhaps there was other betting on the other side of the world on the favourite, or other lays.
    The favourite won. There are other ways of slowing horses. Have you read Monsieur X?
    This might just be the tip of the dung heap.
