Bart Cummings

[tombomb]

I wouldnt post this lightly, but the rumor is the cup's king has passed away tonight.

I hope i am wrong

 

[paul22]

If u dont mind me asking, where did you hear this?

 

[tombomb]

Obviosuly its very sensitive. Hopefully the topic can be removed, and i will be banned.

but i believe it to be true.

Fingers crossed this post isn't here tomorrow morning

We would have known by now if Bart Cummings had passed away.

I believe this rumor is totally without any foundation at all.

 

[ash_1050]

None of the major news sites are reporting it, would be a bigfooty exclusive at the moment if true, here's hoping it's not.

Edit: He isn't a Melbourne supporter is he, that would make most people keel over in surprise.

I'm not too sure. Who in their right mind would make up a rumour such as this?

 

[pizzor]

Hopefully it is just a rumour would be shattering for racing

Where on earth would you recieve such information?

"1st on twitter. bart cummings has passed away. unconfirmed...

hotcopper a website also has a thread on it as well

google "hotcopper bart cummings passed away"

but they could be wrong as well

 

[Rough_Edges]

Still nothing on any of the news websites.

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Hotcopper as in the Aussie shares website?

 

[pacemaker]

I am sure some news storys will develop

Hotcopper as in the Aussie shares website?

It is an investment site so I guess so, I just typed in Bart Cummings passed away it that came up with another thread on it. But it could be total bull

I found this! Doesn't sound good for an old fella!

 

[pacemaker]

Yeah I saw that but thats only for tests. You would think from that stroy that he is a bit sick but still ok

 

[pacemaker]

I don't think it is true, I think some bloke has made the rumour up

 

[ThePezDispenser]

We all like to think so but at his age nothing can be taken for granted!
