Larry had a charming way about him that probably convinced many drivers to go dead on occasion. 😂

Well I read it.. I don’t believe he said that about himself.. Ronnie Gurfein probably felt that way about him.. In Jewish we would have called Larry a mensche… you couldn’t help but like him he was/is a nice guy.. but he was a gambler .. he just may have been a little more obvious about it than others.. 😂
His brother Peter was a real nice guy.. Is he still around?

I spent a summer running bets for a gambler at Monti and had the chance to spend saturday nights at Club Escoffier, I belive it was called..
Leon Greenberg brought Larry upstairs to his table after Larry's horse ran 4th and gapped the top 3 by double digit lengths- in those days there were only 3 trifectas on the card.
"Its bad enough you gap the field in a trifecta race, but on a Saturday night, Larry?"
