You must have run Gretna then,Scothunter, I knew Alf Pennycook he always had good Dogs.

 

 

Alf was a true gent and yes he had some cracking dogs, I wonder if he ever regretted selling some picture?

 

He did get a good price, but I heard he regretted it.

First got to know him, when he did Lazer treatment on my Whippet X Grey, and yes he was a Gentleman.

 

I heard he got 12k for him.

 

Did you run dogs at Gretna regular? I ran them there from the late ''s up untill a couple of years ago.

 

I heard he was offered 12k but turned it down then was offered 17 and sold it, only what I was told, don't know if its true.

 

 

He bought it for £7k and sold it for £12k that was believed to be the case anyway, like you say he had quite a few good dogs in his time.

always said this dog was jinky,but what a f*****g dog it was.in spite its fault.

 

Could be a proper crank at times & i saw him jack a race at Catford in the Boxing Day Marathon. Amazing dog when he wanted to run, theres been nothing quite like him since.

 

totally agree mate that dog was a freak of nature 100% unique.

 

Maybe not that unique, have you seen this post?

I meant to say 6-4 when i was typing , yes that was what i used to be under on here been on here for about 3-4 year as this now though .... I was only about 14 - 15 when they were placeing decent bets so i never actualy had more than 50 of my own money on and to be honest i wouldnt know jack about prices as iv never been a betting man myself dont gamble on bandits horses or dogs anymore and when i did gamble the dogs it was a friend betting but i do know the kind of money going on these dogs i remember a brindle dog come over and i was 6 or 7 at the time cost 3k and hit the hair rail on his first trial me grandad put him on the table and stitched him up told me to hold the collar first dog i ever paraded i was about 11 or 12 will a big black dog about 27" or so the worst dog ever i put in a box he used to kick the sh*t out you lol bugger for pissin his bed to the auld C**t. No idea about the gambling of coursing dogs though i hear decent money gans on them but the boys i know involved usualy run for the other blokes dogs mostly travelers i know thats into the saluki types .

that's some money did't know that much you could retire on that no need to gamble he went to jail though for summit look were gambling gets you you either make it or break it

 

I think some of it was credit but then he started chasing his loses & borrowed off of loan sharks. There was drugs & firearms all tied in with the case as well.

a few year ago we had a bet well into the thousands and one of the lads had a fare bit in tick as well,needless to say it didnt get beat, it got f****n destoyed.when i took the dog back to the kennels the trainers wife was at the tally van.she was shouting over how did we do ,this was for so the other customers could here .it was almost worth losing just to see the look on her face when i told her.
