Great stuff Master.  Gam Wah where the money was paid.  When I was broke in the early 60's, climbing the fence at Orbach's and Fortunoffs.  In the late 60's when things got better I had a $6,000. claimer that did REAL well for me sitting behind Fast Gun with Matucci.

No more Seminar. Bee Bop's father held shop before every race. He didn't know a thing about handicapping and couldn't pick a winner but the Seminar was always on.

Pink and black is right Sam.  Lucky Child was a JFA working his way up the A-B-C ladder winning whenever Gene wanted until one fateful night when Gene got caught on the wrong side of the bridge when it went up and they put Gilmour up and he wired him from the 8 in C-1 and Lucky Child was immediately moved up to A-3 and was still the best. Of course Matucci got caught up in the Moonstone Bay fiasco along with Mike Santa Maria and things went downhill from there.
