then how do you explain barry abrams ever winning a race? or the guy that trains groupie doll? how did spend a buck win the derby and HOY with a trainer who had never touched a horse until a few months before that horse won the derby. a good horse is like a loaded gun, in the wrong hands it can still go off.

The star of Luck ? Really what show were you watching ? Stick to clocking the donkeys on the West coast. Leave the film and tv reviews to Fredo Ebert.

I thought Dennis Farina was the star of the show the way he choked out that wet boy in the restaurant restroom and tied him
up in the stall and locked it up using his tie like a MacGyver tool.

I agree HM.... Farina was great in that role and by far the most compelling character imo.

GoshDarn shame about the series. Michael Mann/David Milch doing a HBO series about racing @ Santa Anita? I knew there had to be a catch somewhere because it was all too perfect.

are you being sarcastic? He was begging for mounts when asked by Pincay Jr. what the story is about the rumors. Threw in hoping Baffert would be looking for him.. Dubai Worldcup also. He is coming back sooner than later, if you did not get that you have some issues. Kurt Hoover laughed at him and said he would be riding by Jan 31st. It will be sooner than that if he can still ride.
