- Here towards the end of his life, Granada TV invited The Guru of Halifax, the founder of Timeform, Phil Bull to expound on his theories, his views and his experiences. The program doesn't disappoint as it follows him at home and on the track.
I've been trying for years to get a copy of this, to no avail. I've always been a big admirer of Phil's. Many, many thanks for putting it up on here.
The joy of TH-cam!!! I know what it's like to find this kind of thing. My father had a documentary about Lester made about 1970 Nijinsky's year on tape and when he died he was left all his videos. That was to be the prize - alas it wasn't there my step mother had recorded an episode of Dallas over it. I'm still trying to find that video but I'm glad to have been of service to you.
@@roderigodetriano hello sir, did you ever find it?
Thanks for sharing this is my grandad
I am so pleased you got to see it William
Im a Bull ,im horse racing mad,may be related.lol.
Great man. He never forgot his roots despite being probably the most recognisable person in racing after Lester.
Thanks a million for posting this and many other great racing videos including so much coverage of Zafonic's Guineas
It's all my total pleasure so glad you enjoy them
wow remember this at the time many thanks for posting
I've read Phil Bull's life story ; he was an amazing man and a shrewd punter . His best gambling years were in the late 1940s and 50s . He said that latterly he was now in the 4th division ; his scattergun approach to backing three horses in the 1982 Derby bears witness to that belief , especially as Robert Sangster had told him how good Golden Fleece was held in the highest regard . Great man , sadly missed .
If you can get 3/1 about a 6/4 chance it's a bet with a capital B.
Phil Bull.
The essence of winning money on horse's.

Great documentary - lovely to see the old Newmarket stands before they built that ghastly giant Wetherspoons masquerading as a stand now
Brilliant again Rodrigo. Phil bull what a legend of the turf but Jesus Christ Sangster gave him Golden Fleece at the lunch !! Back it Phil !! Scatter gun approach on the day
Did well overall with the winners at York and Doncaster but his reading of the jockey club stakes was shocking. Even getting things wrong after the race. Ardross always going well.
Phil knew better than to bet on the strength of "tips", no matter who they came from. He wrote about it in his "commandments" section in "The Mathematics of Betting" back in the 40's.
Phil Bull where are you now when racing needs you. When a horse wins at a stupid price no one asks why did it win.
Do you have the 1995 champion hurdle please
Nice cameo from Susan Rossiter-Peacock-Sangster-Renouf.
Eccentric but a genius
Can anybody confirm if the title of that documentary was called Citizen Bull? Many thanks for displaying it and which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Could well be Mike. It was recorded by my late father John Tyrrel (JT) and we are missing the opening title credits
Yes title was Citizen Bull
@@davidmartin903 . Thank you very much for confirmation.
good man
Enjoy the journey :)
I thought Amyndas was going to win it :-(
...and Lady Wotsit, “Now this table I’m MUCH more interested in, this is MY table (thank goodness I’m not sitting with this little man with a funny beard who keeps following me around)”
rumor is in a match race phil had a very large bet on one of the runners and a big saver on the other one........
🤐🤐🤐
Hahaha given the 1982 Derby winner by its owner and then swerved it backing the next 3 in the betting….proper judge 😂
@@MickKedian lol he was such a loser! he only made money betting on the outcome of close finishes in the early days by positioning himself right on the line .....then when that stopped being any good he gambled back everything he had previously won , total loser hehe
@@MickKedian he would have made a good santa impersonator though
Good job they didn't have in-running then or he'd have done his brains.
AND TODAY SHOPS PAY DOUBLE RESULT
Phil Bull is a legend. This documentary however, is dull.
What were you expecting ?
After"Wassle won the presentation was a cringe making spectacle,he was virtually snubbed.
39.48 - the queen moonlighting as a waitress.
Phil 🐂
Very interesting to a racing fan but how a non-racing fan would’ve found this interesting even then is a bit puzzling. The interludes from Freddie Jones didn’t work for me at all. Some quite amusing bits like PB getting the Derby all wrong, and Sheikh Hamdan seeming very uninterested in his prize presenting banter.
All punters, even someone as shrewd as Phil Bull are wrong more often than they are right. The Derby is always a potential banana skin for all of us, as the horses are so lightly raced by the beginning of June. No surprises though about Shake Handbag, all these arabs are miserable so-and so's, but he's got a face that would turn the milk sour.
@@Pazuzu1964 your comments about Shake Handbag 👜 😂
@@Pazuzu1964 priceless post
phil bulls***
Coming from someone wearing a shirt like that has absolutely no place to attack other's.
Armindus has won it , Armindus has it won ..........then he didn't :P what a loser Phil Bull*** was
He had a saver bet on Ardross so I'm sure he did OK?
@@jackjamieson1120 99% of people LOSE gambling i would STRONGLY advise everyone to stay well away and never ever do it , i'm ahead BUT i have my own "ways" i.e methods and none are easy
@@jackjamieson1120 plus i have seen lots of evidence that the "game" is still as corrupt as it ever was
Why the constant attack on Phil?
conceited no all and hypocrite
genuine question , why do you call him a hypocrite ??conceited no question but why was he a hypocrite ?
You clearly didn’t know him
" know "
Pathetic ignorant post! By the way what is a ' no all' 🤔
' no all' 🤔
