I could listen to Harry’s gambling stories over and over, what a guy.

Hahaha... I was at [grammar] School with Harry and whilst he doesn't mention it, he famously would bunk off in his camel coat to go betting on the dogs. I guess we 14 or 15 at the time and don't think he ever got detention for it! And when he was about to be caned, turned around and caught the cane before it hit him then faced up nose-to-nose with the teacher. He was then, and clearly is now, a brilliant brilliant character!

Love Alastair Down and Harry Findlay. Good interview. Would have preferred another sixty minutes

Make any snide observations you like but I suggest Down was one of the FINEST proponents of the English language I have ever read , Absolutely amazing talent the likes of which you will really ever observe,

Get back into that betting ring Harry Cheltenham needs a character like yourself legend of gamblers Respect

love these interviews,  wish they were more, and longer

Rumour has it Alastair Down is still pissed in that room

Read his book - it’s superb!

Hope he lumped on topofthegame  old Denman colours  it would of being lovely to see  Harry  win RSA or gold cup  this year in the old purple  colours

two legends of the game

Its clear these type of interviews isnt Alastairs forte lets just say. I sense Alaister really doesnt know or care that much about the betting side of things, hes more intoxicated with the whole racing vibe as a whole and is more about people and feelings etc. Nevertheless a couple of good nuggets from Harry.

Amazing stories

he looks pissed

The £2.5M bet on new Zealand rugby world cup as legendary.
He's better concentrating on the horse.

Great geezer Harry but got to lose some weight Harry no joke mate the heart is the engine and your as old as me we don’t live forever Harry but let’s make sure we will hopefully as long as we can mate it’s the heaviest I’ve seen ya it’s ok when your younger but please be careful your one of the greatest characters in the game keep it going but believe me you like your beer and your grub don’t let it soon takes it toll we all think we’re invincible with heath how wrong we are sadly take care H

Ask the man different questions, every one asks him where it started and about the all blacks bet, he has a life time of different characters he knew, different story's

It was Fairyhouse where Istabraq got beaten by Limestone Lad at 1/7,don’t think Istabraq as ever run at Limerick 🤔

What Pub is that

I wish the drunk would just shut up and just let Harry speak.  Can he say something without you cutting him off?

Whos listening 2026
