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?"

  • Trigger: Where is the MAGA republican sympathy for Texas First Lady Cecilia Phalen Abbott.  From Mexican immigrants, devout Catholic, marries gov greg in 81', tree falls on him while jogging in 84'.  Cecilia hasn't been fucked in 40+ years.

  • Trigger: It's a pleasure betting tracks like Harrington, and LBJ today.  You handicap, and driver's are trying, apprecative of the big stage, or just big purses.  Fucking faggots picking their spots - toop trainers and drivers stiffing day and night if it all ain't perfect.
