Better than having John Horne filling in.

       Racing sucks

[Harness racer]

I loved when he was at Ocean Downs!  Giving all the drivers goofy nicknames.   

[getreal]

I for one don't like him much, egomaniac.

[MIKE CAMPBELL]

   Anyone remember Jackie Lee?

[MIKE CAMPBELL]

My wife and I had dinner at Sardi's after a Broadway show and George was at the next table having dinner with Ernie Anastos. He recognized me and sent over drinks. Class act.

[Third Over]

I'm guessing the thoroughbred syndicate didn't work out as projected..

   Anyone remember Jackie Lee?

Anyone who attended Roosevelt Raceway from the late 60's through the mid 80's remembers Jack E. Lee.  I vividly recall someone on the main level, near the finish line, who would stand there and yell up at Jack if he didn't like the outcome of a race.. and ONCE I saw that person take his losing tickets, fold them up into his mouth, chew them and swallow them ;>>) (no joke.)  RR was an amazing scene, from Ed Sullivan at the Cloud Casino (rooting on David Deutsch) to the colorful group of trainers on the shed rows, to Lou Monte grubbing $$ for bets in the Clubhouse..
quite the show.

He stole that from Jack E Lee who gave every driver a nickname, especially at Freehold.
