You are kidding, right. When you could actually find him sober, he had hands of stone. A second stringer at Monti and Freehold in his best years.

Completely agree

was involved with Brennan, Parker, and a few others as a small role player in the race fixing in the late 80s early 90s

I used JP on occasion and he always did right by me. I recall he had a drinking problem years ago.

He could be working for someone. Many big barns are short on help.

Was quietly told by NJ officials to disappear after many fixed races at Freehold in exchange for not being prosecuted.
