The Sure Thing: The Greatest Coup in Horse Racing History
__________________
The bookies always win.
But one man has been proving them wrong for four decades.
In the summer of 1975 Barney Curley, a fearless and renowned gambler, masterminded one of the most spectacular gambles of all time with a racehorse called Yellow Sam. With a meticulous, entirely legal plan involving dozens of people, perfectly timed phone calls, sealed orders and months of preparation, Curley and Yellow Sam beat the bookmakers and cost them millions.
They said that it could never happen again.
But in May 2010, thirty-five years after his first coup, Curley staged the ultimate multi-million-pound-winning sequel.
