thank god there is people like Barney in this world, thank you Nick for giving us this interview, absolutely compelling
What a character, all about the value, lucky you done your research nick, RIP Barney
A true legend. I’ll never forget a story, true or not, of Barney having a horse running at Windsor. He arranged to stable the horse overnight at a trainer’s near Windsor. The horse box turned up with two horses onboard. Identical to look at. The day of the race the substitute horse went off and won. Brilliant. Doing the bookies is a sport of its own. RIP Barney
R.I.P Barney - What a man.
R.I.P. Barney - LEGEND - Ar deis Dé go raibh a anam dílis
rest in peace barney could listen to him forever clever man and very generous with his charity work a true legend of horse racing
i think the people hes trying to help should help themselves we been sending them money for years they are no better off
THE K IDS HES TRYING TO HELP WILL GROW UP AND THERE KIDS WILL NEED HELP
Another character gone.
Great interview.
sorry i dont agree with him
May Mr.Curley Rest In Peace.Gone,never to be forgotten.
agree made racing better in many many ways
he surports charITIES for african children ant it about time the fathers did the same
What a legend ...RIP Barnley Curley .
One of the best gamblers good at his trade
a truly wonderful man
For someone to set up a charity in a country thousands of miles away to help the poor is commendable to say the least. This man was a legend.
Mark my words, he was a genius the late Barney Curley.
Greetings from Trinidad & Tobago West Indies . I followed Barney Curley blindly from my neck of the woods . Who will forget this guy .
nice interview by Nick it felt like he had to tread carefully encase Barney went mad at anytime
Patience and value, words to live by.
If Barney ever rang me about buying a horse, I wouldn’t be asking questions! The house would be on the market if need be 💙. My one and only idol … beast of a man 💙
Will never b another one as good as barney rip
I just was turned onto Barney by seeing him rant on live RaceTv! It takes a Gentleman to admit and confront your wrong doings in life .What a brilliant, incredible life he lived , gonna research him more ! Can only imagine the 💰 fortune he left behind to match his legacy ! R.I.P. 🙏
this man is a saint,
Rip Barney ..I could listen to him all day
we forget sometime to complement a great interviewer Nick
The Best.
Got to admire the fellas honesty
Iv never seen a horse win easier than magic combination for Curley it won in Ireland 🇮🇪 then 2 weeks later hosed up in the imperial cup at sandown , handicap sure thing 👍👍
I think Barney is right about being a good person. I have often thought if anything happened to my girls. the only way I could survive losing them would be to channel my love into other people. Strangers. I think people suffer most when they have built up all this love for someone who disappears. Love has to go somewhere. And rather than lose himself, Barney did just that. Good for him. A cute hoor, as they say.
i agree and very genuine nice words
Excellent interview,what a guy has so much more to tell
What a legend and done so much work to help others. People throwing accusations at him then turn a blind eye when Sir Mark Prescott runs horses down fields for a handicap mark and call it genius...
@Pa. D Look at Elliot and McManus handicappers or that farce with Sire De Berlais at cheltenham. People hail some trainers as genius yet when Curley did it he was chastised. Curley tried his very best to stand up for punters and support betting shops. As for the idea DAFA paid their expenses thats pure nonsense and mud slinging for the sake of it.
DAFA is dormant ?? did you do any research or just spout the first garbage that came into your head ?
Anyone who thinks they all run them straight is wet behind the ears. Curley was called to task and your man gets away with it because Curley is an Irishman and Prescott is part of the British establishment.
Spot on reg akehurst was known as king of the handicaps for years. He was actually cheating,the secret is knowing he was cheating
@Pa. D once backed one of curleys at Kempton it had won a race 3 years previously off 107 it ran off 59 backed from 16s in the morning down to 5-4 . It won pulling a cart. And your right it was never heard of again
Yeah done a lot for ‘ charidy’ - then again so did Jummy Saville, he never got busted either
Amazing bloke.
We. Will. Never. See.
The. Likes. Again. Barney. Was
A.gentleman. Proper. Gambler
Great. Trainer. He. Could. Lay

Fascinating man and an absolute legend to boot
A Legend indeed = Barney Curly
My brother Geoff. T.C. "knows" Barney pretty well ;-)
Geoff. took Barney on the back of a Quad to sell him Coolstown Stud. For a.hole 'barney o hare' = looser ( bar one ? no bar none :-P
"" BOYLE SPORTS = NO. 1 "". I know him ;-D

He’s an old pussy
One of the most entertaining interviews I have ever seen 👍👍
Top notch interview
Much more interesting than he appears.
Great interview. Many thanks.
Barney Curley what a great guy
One. Of.the.good.ones.rest.in.peace.with.your.son
My hero Barney Curley TOP MAN
what a fascinating man .... they don’t make them like these guys anymore ☘️
He’s a pussyhole 😂
A legend and what a story about yellow sam that massive gamble in 1975 remarkable
Nice interview nick
Superb interviewer.
That was a cool introduction ..
Great interview. 👌
Really good bloke, some bad decisions some amazing all paid off. Ledgend in his own right.
the only man that ever beat the bookies😊 good man barney😊
vincent donnelly ...& Sir Mark Prescott 😉
Barney was a legend! He stung the bookies and then used the money in a good way.
He treated the bookies with proper contempt.
and punters
The bookies treat the average punter like mugs. I've been restricted by Hills not for winning to much they congratulated me on my winning run but said they could only offer me sp as I was constantly beating the prices because I would place bets the night before so feck the bookies they treat us with contempt.
A great role model , the biggest influence in my world.. the racing establishment overlooked his wise advice and missed a very big and genuine opportunity to make racing better.
Saw him at Wetherby races years ago, when he was part way through a sequence of winners that thrashed the bookies.
True Irish man well done barnie
R. I. P you genius
What a racing brain
I had a mate who was a punting mate back in the 80s we just gambled for a living and it was better than it is now and gambling for a living was much better than working in a proper job .He could read Barney Curley like a book and we got some cracking gambles up there were quite a few good shrewd trainers back then and that is what they were shrewd and trainers have to be to survive but they do give of little clues don't just go by the bare form some call it cheating but smaller yards play there own game .
Is it cheating or is it obtaining a workable handicap mark?
Fair play to you Barney
Amazing story 👌🏻
He's right about Noel Meade. He's the most honest trainer out there.
OMG Noel Meade 😭😭😭😭
Was Carberry the most honest jockey lol
Good to know the real Barney Curley the bad bwoy of racing. Enjoy your new life Sir.
The insurance scam guy that Barney talks about became infamous after being taken to task by David Frost on tv . It can be found on RUclips . I read Barneys life story and the book about his notorious betting coups ; both fascinating books .
Anyone have a spare copy of Mr.Curleys' life story for sale,none available on Amazon?
Barney,legend
good on you Barney, you're giving a lot back
Clever Clever man is Mr Barney Curley
Legend
Leave Barney alone ❤❤
What a legend he was, get to know the person before you comment, the punters friend, he and Jimmy white my heroes. They care about other people less fortunate than themselves.
Barney may you rest in peace with your loved soñgerard
Excellent
Rest in peace. Barney Curley.
It was three years ago yesterday - a particular passing. But many others thought of. Not Barney Curley, mind.
Rip barney
Come back Barney
One of my Irish heroes ,maith thú Barney
In a nutshell, regarding horse racing and betting Barney Curley financialy won. Take a bow to Barney who not only beat the bookies, he fucking kick their arses til the day the died. Respect.
the best
Great man
And that Luke Harvey's an underacchivier.
and he saved mccriricks bacon
McCrirrick knows nothing about racing . 😂😂 brilliant that
Dont have a go at poor Luke lol
@@leedsboy64 he was a brave man over fences
@@JonJonJonJonJonJonJonJon agreed as all jump jockeys are
Oliver Reed! another of our great heros
Good shout
Brilliant interview, love Barney, but it shows you what us punters are up against, we don’t stand a chance! Wonder what Frankie did with his painting 🤣🤣🤣
Only win at football.
R. I. P
I was working at an insurance brokers , our boss put 80% of our clients with Vehicle and General , when they went bust it was total carnage , never new Barney was involved , innocently of course
Hero
Same God for everyone , only one God , simply explain and most possibly true!@
RIP Barney
About 20 years ago i was at ascot when he put 10 grand on a horse,it wasnt one of his own,i looked at the form of the horse he had backed and couldnt understand why he did because it didnt look to have a chance even though it was fav,it was struggling all the way just like i thought it would,i would be more interested if he told me about the losers
I bet you backed the winner at 10/1 too.
What's the chances? Doctor: 50/50! Ah sure I've backed worse lmfao what legend. RIP
He was my hero bookies are leagalld gangsters rip peace my man
4 years ago on dec 15 he was able to say it as it was i think he mellowed now .I ALWAYS AGREE GETTING THE VALUE IN BETTING
wIsh i knew that 45 years ago. I PUT IT INTO PRACTICE ONLY THE LAST 10 YEARS .WITHOUT LISTENING TO THE ADVICE FROM ALL
THE ITV 4 INFO WORKING FOR THE TRAINER AND OWNER ..I HAPPENED TO GET ONE BIT ADVICE FROM THE WINNER OF PASS IT ON
AT 66,1 JUST BEFORE THE RACE ? these trainer and jockeys and itv all work together .TOP JOCKEYS LIKE RICHARD JOHNSON ARE ALL
WORKING FOR THE BOOKIES .they advertise for them too .B.CURLEY WOULD TELL THEM TO GET LOST I LOST LOTS MONEY FOLLOWING
JOCKEYS LIKE RICHARD JOHNSON .since the penny dropped most my winners are 8.1 plus never ever back a fav any more
Look at laying the favs in these 'jumpers bumpers' 8/11 4/11 1/1 all beaten this week n it's only Tuesday .
The guy knew a thing or two about horses
Most comments about Curley will be based entirely on ignorance. Training genius.
Why did Nick ask him who was dopping the horses and then went on to mention Brian Wright and Graham Bradleys court case?
Libel, and barney knew not to say too much...
Dopping ?
Blocked the one telephone 📞 line to the track and placed bets all across Ireland 🇮🇪 and won 3 million 💷💷💷💷boooooom
Yellow sam.
But never got a penny."Murphy's Stroke" is the movie.
I lived because bellewstown race course, I was there that day.
@@stephenburke5967 Murphys Stroke, was in England.
@@michaelboyle5805 which track and which trainer pulled this stroke"Murphy's Stroke".
Racing was a different game then....all these games are over
Yes and everything is always trying.
really
@@flapperjj95 " Always trying " is Mark Johnston's thing .Has it everywhere on his website. This man is a qualified vet and just broke the record for total winners trained in the UK. A likeable man but some of the stunts he has pulled over the years with handicappers defy belief. Up there with Akehurst and Prescott easily.Clearly they are not always trying !!
Luca Cumani was the same when he first started.Not what you know but who you know, in racing as it is in
life.
What about the attempted coup 2 out off 3 on Sunday the 5th Feb at Musselburgh and Southwell. Three horses all dble figures all went off odds on.
@@chris-xv4bn Johnstone is trying I've known several work rider down there. I even know Keith Dalglish who trains now and was a top jockey for Mark Johnston I don't think Keith is as honest as Mark but he doesn't have the same horses.
the reggie bell o f horse racing
the bookies were terrified of him i mind i was in bettin shop about 15 years ago i was puting a horse on then all of a sudden i seen staff behind counter panic a messge was sent to there computers dont accept big bets on the 7,00 wolverhamton it was gambled from 12/1 in to 4/6 fav that nite barny trained it that horse won easy that nite i never forget that was in the newspaper next day how much the gamble was how easy it won
Tbh he's set me up but it's impossible for small owners and trainers to make money in this game being honest
The subtitles are joke. Haha can't interrupt a Derry Accent
did my man burp at 2.03?
The Moral of this story is, if Barneys son had not sadly died so young then he would have kept on his path of Mein Fein landing gambles EVERY other week from 150/1 to 1/10 with form figures of 00000/0000/000000000/////// :P Barney lands gamble with horse off the track for 5000 days suitable epitaph
Some Craci ‘ Fine lol .Fuzzy lol Must a broke his heart ‘ True words ‘ Couple words . Lol
So thats how he started out with Savundra !
I can't understand putting your own money on someone else's advice. I had Saint Roi, Al Boum Photo and Chosen Mate on the Friday. I didn't see any tipster put up three winners. Where I fall down is on how to profit from picking winners. I've taken more out of my paddy power account than I've put in, but not by much. I gave up on place pots when I realized I was getting more winners easily enough and picking the first two home in my selections, but maybe losing the placepot and not not getting anything. I don't have a system of betting. My 3 tips to live by: 1. Never back with money you can't afford to lose. 2. Don't listen to 'experts', pick your own horse and know why you've picked it. 3. Always look for value.
Get into bed ya headcase
I started to read a book called "The Sure Thing" probably the worst written book I've ever tried to read!
Don't be silly.
Strange how people NEVER tackle a successful pro gambler on the morality of his livelihood ... Now if that was a loser gambler there would be all the usual "Oh don't you realise the harm you're doing to your family?" and all that. Curley did just 12 months honest work in his life in the chemical plant.
