    They're is a complete lack of understanding as to how Cash Out actually works and the limitations of trying to land a touch with it. It makes for a great Twitter conspiracy.

    They cashed out b4 the non runner. They cashed out after they promoted the sting to everyman and their dog on twitter. therefore creating a bunch of false favourites and bet365 offered more than double the original stake as a cash out. search twitter and you will find the screen shots. But RP haven't even mentioned it and haven't even mentioned the Stewards report that cleary states that the actual non-runner had **** all wrong with it. Im beginning to think I'm the only one thats not on the gravy here!

    Then what's it got to do with connections? Anyone could have started the gamble. It's simple market manipulation taking advantage of how scared bookmakers are of building up liabilities.

    100% agreed. There was never a coup! Thats the whole point. It was manipulated by "tipsters" on twitter telling everyone that the Shane Kelly coup was on tomorrow GET ON... suddenly all the horse are favs and the guys that started the rumour cash out for more than stake. The horse that got pulled out doesn't really matter but SHOULD STILL HAVE A FRONT PAGE from those wankstains in mullington towers.

    Even Greg Wood who is normally pretty good in the Guardian is now far to busy drinking the pendleton gravy that he reports it just a cash out failure and ignores the set up element.

    This is the danger bookmakers Dave from moving prices on air or penny bets to restricted accounts. You open yourself up to serious manipulation.

    On the subject of cash out, I backed a horse last night at 6/1 which is now 5/2 and one at 14/1 which is now 7/2. (Gigilo's selections, not mine.)

    365 are offering me 90pc of my stake as cash out.

    It's always been the case as far as I recall. It works the other way too - I recently cashed out a big drifter for 90pc of stake as well.

    Benny - this is exactly the same as my experience.

    Grasshopper - I don't believe there was a coup. What concerns me is that a horse involved in a conspiracy was judged to be lame at the start and then trotted up sound as a pound a very short time later in the stables. Do we put this down to coincidence?

    Was a good interview and on a weekly basis the best racing show out there

    Luck was half in awe/ half intimidated. Just let Barney speak and a fine guest for a routine Sunday's racing
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Yes, I caught up with it this evening at the RTV site.

    A bit disjointed, I thought, in terms of the chronology and narrative but compulsive viewing/listening.

    I'm still trying to figure out what was "the best horse in the world"...

    I googled DAFA and found the charity's website.

    It's very out of date.

    I wonder how much news of the work being done out there is being spread around. Hopefully today's TV discussion will help advertise it but it doesn't look good when the latest pictures and blogs are four and five years old.

    Some great stories from Barney that hadn't been heard before.

    Noel Meade sending back Omerta to him as he wasn't ready and Joe Donnelly overpaying 150k punts to him for a bumper horse!!

    This is still the bit that's got me most intrigued.

    I've tried some superficial research and got nowhere.

    The idea of something much better handicapped than Halling proved to be is the kind of thing that gets my juices flowing.

    I liked the bit where he said he went to Thurles, not for a race meeting but for some sort of social event where he knew he would be seen by lots of people, meanwhile his horses were doing the business elsewhere.

    The horse in question was Manduro I believe. Curley has ties with Baron Von Ullmann.
