For those of us who like a bet one of the best strokers ever to saddle a pony died yesterday .A true legend .Made a reputation as a man never to be trusted, his own mother wouldnt even breastfeed him as he would bite the tit that fed him.Convinced the owners of Carrig Willie that the horse was useless they sold it for coppers his missus bought it and a few weeks later it won the Irish Sweeps Hurdle .Mick pulled more strokes than a teenage boy in borstal .RIP
