Someone was slagging him off last week, because a couple of his picks didn’t come in. Fook me, but at the prices he’s giving out, you don’t need many to be up.

The Stewards report from a race at Downpatrick yesterday seems like nothing in isolation except for the link between the bits in bold:
The Raceday Stewards enquired into the withdrawal of Karloss trained by Mr. C. Byrnes. Evidence was heard from the trainer concerned. In his evidence Mr. C. Byrnes stated that Karloss slipped in the trailer and sweated up on route to today's fixture so he felt it was in his best interest to be withdrawn. He further stated that the owners of Karloss were traveling behind him so they brought Karloss back to his yard and that is why he did not arrive at races with his other runners. Having considered all the evidence, the Raceday Stewards referred the matter on to a Senior Racing Official for further investigation.
The Raceday Stewards enquired into the apparent improvement in form of Anyway (GER), trained by David Kenneth Budds, placed, first compared with its recent form. Evidence was heard from the trainer concerned and The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Handicapper Mr. A. Shaw. Mr A. Shaw stated that today's winning performance marked a significant improvement on Anyway's (GER) previous form including his last run when beaten forty six lengths in Punchestown.David Kenneth Budds stated that he gave Anyway(GER) a break after his last run and that he is a lazy horse who benefited from the application of cheek pieces today. On further questioning he stated that he has the horse more than eight months, that he is owned by his father Mr. P. Budds and that they bought the horse from Mr. C. Byrnes. Having considered the evidence the Raceday Stewards referred the matter on to a Senior Racing official for further investigation.
Now Charles Byrnes had three winners at Downpatrick plus a fourth horse, a 7/4 favourite, that finished tailed off after the horse in question made a mistake with the jockey losing his irons as a result. Some cynics might suggest that Karloss was never on the trailer which is why it failed to arrive at the course and that the former owner of Anway and trainer of those other winners, Charles Byrnes, had this horse as part of a multiple Bank Holiday plot. It was Anyway, the unexposed and gambled on horse, that made the doubles, trebles and fourfold that much more lucrative. Imagine how much the return might have been had the fifth horse not made that mistake.
The sort of plot Barney Curley was famous for doing. And if one googles "Charles Byrnes and Barney Curley" it is uncanny how many articles come up with both names being mentioned!
My horse Bluelight Bay is running in the Cambridge shire tomorrow. I would have fancied him but we got drawn 2 which I think makes it impossible we booked Saffie Osborne who is very good and he’ll love the quick ground
I managed to miss all his recent winners but have seen this and am on.
Avoid at all costs
Bump just given a 50/1 winner
Missed this one, had 3rd in the arc, tip from him. Listened to him the other week on a live podcast, he makes it sound so simple, he starts at the bottom and works his way up the list. He’s been at it for about 15 years, some good some bad.
Grand National to be reduced to 34 runners from next year. Turkeys voting for Christmas springs to mind
Peanuts: presumably, the reduced number of entrants will impact on the high value prices available and, therefore, the potential big money winners your model identifies so impressively?

Nice course, poor facilities, rather "non-league", but a great day out.
Fifteen courses left to do.
