Storytime from the book:

With today’s less than desirable college football schedule, and the #BreedersCup yesterday and today, I thought about the horse players.

In books everywhere, the horse players are front and center for big weekends like this one.

Every year, guys...
fly in, bring the bankroll, and send it all day. Multiple tracks, multiple races, doesn’t matter.

Even the little guys get caught up in the action. Meaning, Downtown Benny, a $2 show bettor at NY tracks only, somehow would scrape together a $100 BR and take his shot.

The guys..
who play ponies are characters. You have to be to do it. Think about it. You are betting on a horse to run around a track with a little guy on his back. With a bunch of other horses with little guys on their backs right next to them.

A sound investment for sure.

Breeder’s Cup..
