i know "Wilfy" he is a regular in Hogans in Bishop Auckland, i recall that last year he disappeared for a few days after having a bit luck on the horses. He told me that he went to Scarborough for a break so he may be down that way..especially if he has won again. I believe he uses Bef Fred bookies over the road from the pub
