Barney Curley 1 of the shrewdest trainers going
One of the greatest gambles of all time has been landed in the 6:25 at Kempton. Barney Curley, one of the most renowned gamblers has organised to win four races in one day even though he’s retired.
The legendary trainer has passed his training base onto Des Donovan who has trained two winners today already in Indus Valley 4:25 Kempton(was 20/1 earlier and won at 4/6) and Eye of the Tiger (was 10/1 won at Evens) Another ex Curley horse called Seven Summit won at 9/4 having been 7/1 in the 1:40 Catterick.
All the money went onto Low Key who was 7/1 but won at 4/7 with accumulators, Yankees and Lucky 15s all waiting on the fourth horse.
Liabilities won’t be fully known until later this evening, but it could run into the millions.
Barney refused to comment to the racing post this morning when asked about the gamble and is not known for making interviews.
The four horses were 9,000-1 last night, 44-1 at lunchtime today and SP was 16-1
Galway racing fans will have the chance to meet the great man himself at the John Mulholland and Racing Post Cheltenham Preview night in a few weeks.

If they take accumalators on the four individual races how can they then say they are related contingencies after the event. Ok if you find out something is going on, suspend betting but dont take the bets and try and get out of them afterwards.
Shame and if anybody in this situation I suggest you write to betting authorities.
Also Seven Summits had to jump hurdles , any one of which he could have fell or been brought down by. Dont feel sorry for bookies.

these look like the old fashioned barney curley gambles to me
Three different trainers involved and only one at one of his old establishment.
Three different owners.
Also whatever you think of the man and his associates dont take away from them that if this was thought out they did it really well. and were pretty lucky as well
Have a feeling you a bit miffed you weren't on.
