    In my latest interview for Star Sports I talk to legendary on-course bookmaker Barry Dennis. In part 2 he talks of Frankie Dettori’s magnificent 7, John McCririck helping him to win £100k and the hours of work that went into Bismarcks http://www.starsportsbet.co.uk/interview-barry-dennis/

    Thanks Lost Soldier, he is, I was nervous about doing it because in all the years I’d known him on course he’d always just barked at me! He was actually very charming, Final part live now http://www.starsportsbet.co.uk/interview-barry-dennis/

    …I don’t Post here very often!

    …but loved the Barry interviews. I used to be an ultra Lingfield AW regular in the 1990s/2000s, who would bet with Barry when his prices were best. would often ask for fractions and he would say “what are fractions”?

    Barry projects a gruff exterior, but I think he might be a Teddy Bear really…
