That was him Slim.
One day at Goodwood Cash was riding a maiden juvenile filly in a Listed race for him.
A 16/1 outsider, Barry forcibly told Cash , "no excuses, just win!"
They did.

I can't agree about 'the bigger the price the bigger the bet' approach.
It would be alright for him since he literally knew they were going to win bar mishap but it would be a quick road to the poorhouse for mere mortals.

D Wayne Lukas .
As posted during the week, he has faced the starter for the last time.
He brought racing into the MTV age ; had the name, the polish , the brawn and the drawl .
He didn't fade away or go away but kept showing up and could never be discounted.
His work ethic was phenomenal, he ran multiple training centres throughout the USA and won , and won some more.

Michael Mahon (aka Squort) .
Bred I Shot The Sheriff and raced him for a few years mid career.
Through the Whitegrass brigade I met and got very drunk in his company 2013 Festival the night before the above mentioned horse ran in the "spud " race.
After injury ISTS returned to Tony Martin , winning a few times in Michael's colours , even getting a late call up to run in Martin Pipe Hurdle a few years later.
Michael bought the dam from Ronnie O'Leary, jockey, trainer, pre trainer, singer , raconteur and one time vodka smuggler (if memory recalls).
Michael's recollection of his purchase and Ronnie's conditions of sale " Bring a driver !" brings a smile to my face still.
May he Rest In Peace
