Who's more pathetic? R. Anderson or R. Smolin?

I think Swoodal stole lines from the Henry Hill as a kid character in Goodfellas.

Good story, tho.

HE DOES WAFFLE BETWEEN REALITY AND DISNEY ALOT

"KEPT QUIET AND LISTENED"  WHAT HAPPENED?

When an old man is spinning stories about the good old days at Washington Park and other places he has raced if you sit politely and listen he automatically likes you. Dolbee called me just "Kid" so most of the horsemen we knew did the same. Plus I never said much back then, I would do whatever anyone asked me to do and I could be trusted to do it right the first time. I didn't do drugs and I always showed up to work on time. All small things but it's why these guys didn't mind me hanging around. I got more good tips back then then the rest of my adult years combined.

My father dragged me around to bars where he would drink and gamble shooting pool and he would drag me along to the track and poker games around the south suburbs. He made the rounds to all these secret big stakes games including poker games controlled by mobsters in Chicago Heights and I was always the only kid there. But I kept quite and never bothered anybody and when they would run out of food or drinks I would make a run to the store for them. Most of the time they would forget I was even there. Granted I never should have been exposed to some of this stuff in my early teens but life was very different back then.

To clarify one point in the last paragraph my parents were split. We lived in Tennessee and I would come up here and stay the whole summer with my father. If he didn't take me with him wherever he went then I had to stay alone in his run down apartments in shitty neighborhoods. So he didn't have much of a choice. Plus when he would get drunk I had to drive him home. I started driving him home illegally at age 13 in his Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. Cops never stopped us. Maybe they knew it was safer for me to be driving then him.

GO FUCK YOURSELF ASSHOLE!


I am not a victim nor have I ever claimed to be a victim!

I was simply explaining to Smolin why I was declining his offer to a backstretch tour.

I DON'T NEED ONE!

I have been everywhere he has been and then some.

I got started at an early age and I was explaining why.

Stop reading and go back to 

You guys bet .10 supers at racinos and pretend to be a big fish.

I've watched drivers bet more on one hand at poker than your welfare racinos handle in one race.

No wonder harness racing is going to hell, it's full of a bunch of wannabes.
