"I have never had so much success (or fun) with the punt. Thanx heaps and great
punting to all!”
"I am very appreciative of the efforts that go into producing this outstanding information."
If ever racing men sit down to talk about famous punters, there is one name that will always be mentioned - Eric Connolly.
He was a racehorse trainer in the good old days' but mainly he won a legendary reputation because of his enormous success as a punter. He bet in tens of thousands of pounds when men were earning just a couple of quid a week, back at the turn of the century and then in the 1910s, the 1920s and the turbulent 1930s.
