Too long, I can't watch.

How does the story end?

That’s the problem isn’t it? When does it end?

  Well hopefully it ends the way Larry wants it to, with one final big score and dying in bed with 3 gorgeous women in a Las Vegas Penthouse Suite..

Could be. Can't argue the Mafia guy fascination. I watch everything Michael Franzese puts out. He was the real deal, of course.

I watch him too! That gas operation was unbelievable!!

[Fuguzzi]

More money than the mob was making in Vegas. Staggering take! Do you remember all the hoops he jumped through and schemes he needed to invent to launder that money?

Hey I’m all for a TV series on all these crooks. A different one each week in a limited series might be entertaining. Unfortunately it would be hard to be a limited series 

THATS A GREAT IDEA. A TV SERIES WHERE THEY GO TO A DIFFERENT TRACK EACH WEEK TO EXPOSE THE CHEATS. NOBODY WANTS TO SEE A GUY LIKE THE FAKE ROLLA DUDE WHO NEVER COULD COMPETE WITH THE MOB GUYS WHO CALLED THE SHOTS. ROLLA WAS THE GUY THEY JUST GAVE $200 TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY. HE IS BUSTED AND LIVING IN A STATE HOUSING SECTION 8. NICE GUY BUT NEVER WAS A PLAYER BUT SURE WANTED TO BE. HE LOOKED UP TO MANZI AND HERVE.

If you read his book, he is John Gotti ( minus the heavy violence ) in driver's colors. I like how he says they fixed every race at Monti. I went up there at least 1,000 times racing lower echelon horses for decades for myself and others. Never got an inkling he was in control of anything and if he was in the race, to me he was basically an auto toss. Certainly not a force to be reckoned with usually.

THANK YOU. I TOO WAS AT MONTICELLO AND SAW HIS DRIVE LIKE A CLOWN. IN FACT I DONT THINK I EVER SAW THE GUY WIN A RACE. JUST LIKE YOU SAID LARRY ROLLA WAS A NOBODY WHO ALWAYS WANTED TO BE SOMEBODY. IF YOU ASK THE AVERAGE PERSON AT ANY NEW YORK TRACK WHO HE WAS, YOU WOULD GET ANSWERS LIKE OH HE WAS A JANIOTOR, SCHOOL BUS DRIVER, OR GROOM.

I was also there, he was a colorful character. I can't say all the stories are true, but they aren't all false. You have to give him credit, he's ridden this for a long time, and the stories don't change.  Liars can't keep stories straight.

[Fuguzzi]

I give him 50/50  with the real 50 inflated.  Some lies you can keep straight. i have had the same Eva Longoria fantasy for years. Every detail is accurate. consistent and in place.

COLORFUL CHARACTER HOW? THE GUY NEVER WON A RACE AND IF YOU WERE THERE YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT THE BIG TIME PLAYERS NEVER WENT TO LARRY ROLLA. LOL HE WAS A NON FACTOR.

[Fuguzzi]

  sadly true.

Wildwood Jeb gets a 32.2 second quarter after Jimmy possibly squeezed Benny with Seahawk Hanover who breaks.. Benny put up an objection but they left Wildwood Jeb up   Worst Cane Pace in history, But Larry Rolla's crowning achievement.

Louie P. is a friend of mine and is related to Lawrence. He was nice enough to give me an autographed copy of the book. Good people.

[Fuguzzi]

Never said he wasn't a good guy. Always warm and engaging. let the fish stories roll in his golden years. maybe in 15 years, i will recall how i won a Hambo and got a wiseguy to pay half the field to go dead
