Harry Findlay on gambling, Denman and the Gambling Commission - Luck On Sunday

[@paulconey252]

Was at lifford on Sunday night,and I can now say Harry was 100 % correct,there was 1000s at the place so well done Harry.

[@grudeman]

What a legend, we need more Harry on racing TV

[@Nathrw]

What a brilliant interview. Harry is absolutely spot on in what he says about the gambling commission, they need to sit down with people like Harry to really understand how it works. If Harry was in any other profession he would be considered a consultant in his speciality, albeit in this case, it’s gambling and the commission really need to listen to this man about how it works, what drives people and to make a balanced approaches to suit everyone. Well done Harry, great interview and very entertaining.

[@AnthonyWilliams-ew3wp]

Many years ago, I was working the bag for my father, a Romford bookmaker, on a Friday night open card. Harry had a dog running. It was 9/4 as I recall. Harry ran along the line calling two grand bets with each of the six bookmakers. No cash shown. The dog got beat. He calmly walked along the line admitting he didn’t have a penny on him, writing cheques for each of us. What a character. The cheque cleared btw.

[@alanoshea2132]

I remember the good days here in Ireland early 00s, there used to be 6 bookies at my local track, the money that used to change hands was crazy. Now there's one bookie at the track and to be fair to him he will take a bet and give you a chance, but the games gone down this end in terms of betting.

I started backing the dogs during the pandemic simply for a bit of fun and loved dog racing so much, that after betting on horses for over fifty years I now only back the dogs, I would just like to point out that I only back small in many races and usually lose very little or win very little, but I just love it.

Too much greyhound racing means not enough dogs to go round.some races only have 3 and four dog .on a card so many non runners

[@WInnerwinnerchickendinner.]

The problem with greyhound racing is the game is bent and the money flows to the insiders. The regulators do nothing. Greyhound punters know about 'the job dog' every other race and newcomers are but off by the amount of cheating that goes on with no repercussions for the perpetrators.

Deman was an all time great, for me was ruined running with top weight in the Hennesseys on heavy ground, he could have and would have won 3 gold cups (ahead of Kauto) but he was bottomed out running those Hennesseys. Never seen one like Deman before, not seen one like him since.

[@colinanderson7384]

Don't think it was officially heavy either time he won the Hennessey and he won his first one at a canter. He also won his second Hennessey AFTER his heart issue.

[@CJ2727]

That year bolloxed him but let’s be honest, would Denman be one of the best horses we’ve ever seen if he didn’t win those 2 Hennessys with top weight? Not sure he’d be as well thought after as he is. Would probably be thought of highly as he won a GC but that campaigning of winning 2 Hennessy’s will stick in everyone’s mind for their lifetime

[@Dev-ek6qm]

He was no Kauto Star, ask Ruby he sat on both and says Kauto is the best he ever sat, great horse no doubt about that but if he was so great why didn't he turn up at Kempton on boxing day to have a crack at Kauto Star over 3 Miles, my guess is he would of got hammered imperial commander style 99 lengths plus, there is more to racing than the gold cup but Kauto star cemented his place in history by being the only horse to regain his title after losing it and even Ruby Walsh would say he wasn't the same horse at Cheltenham, now that's what I call great
