Big Brown load in the Belmont!
I used to go to the track all the time with my Uncle V. We used to drive to Belmont on a Sunday afternoon after church. He was a $2 bettor but he often won. He loved cable cause he could get the replay. At one point in his retirement he would go to the track three times a week. He showed me how to bet and not lose my shirt. Now I talk to him about the races when I visit. We will watch the Belmont together. I would have put a bet in at OTB but Nanny Bloomberg has destroyed it and it soon will be a thing of the past. The mob bookies are all gone now except for football since OTB took all the race action. But in the sixties there used to be a horse parlor in an apartment on Court St. where all the players would go to place their bets. Then OTB came in and the players all hung out there. Now both are gone. And the liberal yuppie scum are happy.
