What’s his story?
Not great..but adequate
Had lots of friends in the Garden State days...Fahy..McNi chol, Brennan , Morrill , Wrenn..Cat man........they thrived until the nights of the big money stake races..and JC BillyO..Mike L Ronw showed up
They would lay low
Then came the famous Freehold Exacta Triple..with Brennan ducking for cover......when they tracked down who carried the money to whom...they found Morrill...Brennan and Parker

George got lost for a year..Morrill became a "financial advisor" to one of his ohorse owners..and Parker "quit the business" to work with riding horses in the Carolinas

Any other business..they are indicted.. and would never get a license again
