Barney again has the bookies by the short and curleys

GOOD old Barney Curley didn’t half liven up the scene with those well-publicised gambles in England on Monday.

Just how much was won by three horses scoring, two trained by Curley and the other by Chris Grant, we will never know.

What we do know for sure, however, is that defeat for a fourth horse, also trained by Curley, saved the bookmakers a lot more grief than that inflicted.
