Yeah sounded it mate and always nice to hear of someone getting one over the bookies :lol:

Didn’t know he died. Only just heard of his existence so to me he was less than a week old :lol:

I rarely read racing now. Fully convinced it’s bent and gave up gambling (except the grand National) a few years back now coz it was becoming a problem

Yeah mate , you always knew in his later training days when he was going to have it off .
If the money came late and Declan Murphy was up you knew it would win .
Proper job jockey .
