I once had a teller fail to "shut off" after the start.

The favorite broke on top by 3 lengths, so I put $2 show on it.

He did the same thing in the race on 5/26.

I believe that was the race Montalvo was suspended for. Joel Cambell rode him on 6/9.

I'm not saying I know how much but do remember once going to the paddock at the Big T in my younger days to bet on the five. As the jockey on his horse passed he looked directly at the guy next to me and his hands moved to the side indicating "7" to the guy. I looked at the guy next to me who smiled and looked just like the jockey.

The seven won by five lengths.......and so did I

Time to start playing backgammon in the park for a living.
