A Most Unusual Camera
« on: December 17, 2022, 12:39:43 PM »
62 years ago this weekend, (dec 16 '60) Rod Serling's legendary TWILIGHT ZONE had a wonderful episode many of us remember or can relate to.

Two petty thieves steal a bunch of stuff including a 'box camera'.  Its very special in that it could take pictures of the future. One of the first things one of the no counts took pictures of was the blank infield tote board before each race of a live tv card. 
Yes, the picture, like a polaroid, showed the final results of a a race about to run...the crooks laid the money diwn with just minutes to post, and scored big

...and the juicy story continued from there.

A definite holiday must view halfhour for hardass horseplayers...av ailable currently free on You Tube I do believe.

  • Calhoun: Thx I'm leaning to the 5 there.  Those CD/GP full field races look the best on the page. 1/2 length from being a G3 winner.
