THE late Irvinestown native Barney Curley has been described as a hero to the gambler and a scourge to the bookies. Most famous for his betting coups in 1975, 2010 and 2014, the late 81-year-old – who passed away from cancer on Sunday – was also a well-respected horse trainer and philanthropist. Mr. Curley, who abandoned his training to become a priest, won millions of pounds through his betting coups, but he was much more than a professional gambler. The 1975 betting coup at Bellewstown Races saw the unfancied Yellow Sam win at odds of 20-1, with Mr. Curley getting friends across Ireland to head to the bookies to lay large bets.
