Is LoneStarHorse David Milch?
 
Pretty sad that Milch has such a huge problem gambling on the ponies, I hope he gets help for his sake.

He could always blame it on that San Francisco **********

Does he throw $576 dollars chasing a 25K Thursday Pick 6 pool?

All kidding aside it wouldn't be surprising if he was doing most of the bridge jumping.

Some of my favorite lines are from the first season of Luck. I get incredibly upset when I watch that last episode. What could have been!!! Ughhh

Small Pick 4?

Interesting to study this very sad story. If Milch played 200 days a year for 30 years he would have had to lose $12,500 per day to drop this much. I guess that's possible, but I expect more to this story will emerge.

doubt he just lost on horses. Most people with a problem will
bet on anything

Here's the link to the full Hollywood Reporter story. It's a really riveting read. And really depressing.

The Santa Anita folks quoted paint him as some sort of gambling savant. :eek:

Yeah, but I thought his colleague put it really well:

"David was really good at handicapping — he was very, very good at picking winners," he says. "With such a complex mind, he could do these exotic bets. But it's what holds every gambler back: In the end, you do it too much."

Sounds like he was incapable of passing a race.
