As far as I know he started DAFA very soon after the death of his son in 1995.

Back watching Breaking Bad after taking a ten year gap between Seasons 3 & 4.

Sea The Stars -Irish Champion Stakes. Sizing Europe -Greatwood Hurdle.It was such a miserable day there was absolutely no security and I walked into the winners enclosure with HdB.

Ian -I think we agree on lots of things regarding horse racing.My opinion on Barney Curley is formed without any inside information -I could be way off the mark.

I certainly don't think Curley was perfect but I don't believe he was a take out merchant.He did good work with Dettori,Spencer,Murtagh and Queally -it's easy to say so what but look at how Pat Eddery and Walter Swinburn ended up. I don't think there is any comparison between raising millions...

Nick has done some incredible interviews on the Sunday morning show over the years but I got the impression he was trying to avoid uncomfortable silences with Kia yesterday.Kia is volatile -Nick is a polished horse racing presenter on three continents.

Luck on Sunday this morning had an interview with Kia Jorabachian where he made very serious allegations against a leading trainer and jockey.Well worth a watch on YouTube.

The Martin Pipe trained hurdler!

Interesting thread -it was well before my time but I was under the impression that Brigadier Gerard was poison at stud.

I agree.

Pawras -would you have any stats regarding amounts matched per race on betfair.

Couldn't agree more.

Very interesting perspective.A work colleague of mine is married to a Cheltenham festival winning trainer-and back in the day they would do Come Dine With Me with a few more household names in Irish racing.The First and only rule was that you couldn't talk about anything apart from racing -I...

I'd say the ideal scenario would have been to retire after winning a Grade 1 at Punchestown.I'm so glad she got out relatively unscathed.

Not a bad synopsis.
