Nobody will win as much in 100 years!

If you search this blog you will see the previous post on the Barney Curley gamble. This was a clear cut opportunity, well telegraphed by the market and confirmed by activity and comment in a number of areas. I recorded a trade on a Curley runner for an article that will appear in a month or so, that’s how predictable some of these trades are.
Now we have a full explanation of the detail and planning behind this gamble thanks to the Independant newspaper. As the provocative titles suggests there was a lot going on this day to produce a huge payoff, but a bit of controversy as well. While it’s an interesting story, I’m not convinced it paints racing in the best of light.
Another Curley runner scheduled to run tonight at Sandown. As I write these posts in advance you will have to check if it is still running.

Not often you will hear me saying that, but when a Barney Curley horse is out and being gambled, you just have to sit up and take notice. Rather than an outright gamble though, it always worth having a go on the trading front. It can be a bit volatile, but it’s often quite clear where the money is going on a Curley horse. Yesterday we saw several horses traded at decent volume from big to much smaller prices. “Agapanthus” traded at a high of 8.20 before going off at 3.45, “Savaronola” 5.60 to 2.34 and “Sommersturm” 5.30 to 1.60. At that point it looked over but the Racing Post telegraphed another great opportunity on “Jeu De Roseau” which went from 16′s to go off at 2.38! What a day!
Rather than regurgitate graphs and stats, there is a good thread running on the forum with previous Curley excursions, you can read it here.
