THEY WERE A FEARSOME DUO IN THEIR DAY AND IN 1999 LISTOWEL LEGENDARY JOCKERY LESTER PIGGOTT AND INTREPID PUNTER BARNEY CURLEY WERE AGAIN AT THE RACES BUT THIS TIME THEY WERE HONOURING TRAINER TOMMY STACK IN HIS NATIVE LISTOWEL. LOCAL PUNTERS THOUGHT THE DYNAMIC DUO WERE ABOUT TO UNLEASH ANOTHER BIG COUP AS THEY WALKED THROUGH THE PARADE RING BUT ALAS NO THEWY WERE THERE JUST TO ENJOY A DAY AT THE RACES LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.
