Great stuff, Pick'em. Shot at Roosevelt Raceway, 1953. Harness racing was a part of American culture back then.

Luck was the best show
On HBO I believe 6 years ago or so

I recently watched the 9 episode season again on amazon prime. It was better the second time.

Luck was pretty good. Think it lasted 1 season. Something happen with a horse dying and that is why it wasn't renewed? PETA get involved?

series was good, wished it would have gone on to see how the writers would have continued

Very true - I was actually there the night(s) they were filming.

Filmed at Pompano. Lots of drivers from that era participated in the shoot. Bill Popfinger plays the driver that stuck his heels in and got attacked by Pesci.

Easy Money(1983)...... Rodney Dangerfield and Joe Pesci..... harness stiff job where driver tanks in the lane going so far as dragging his feet on the track to slow the horse up..... Pesci jumps the fence to beat the crap out of the driver on the way back to the paddock.... a classic for what the games state of cheating is today.
