I can remember one day in particular. The chief had won the feature with some hoss with stickers that paid like $20 or something. Gene (the CID ) had made a nice score since he always bet the chiefs hoss'. He was extolling his virtues in an extra loud, (even for him) diatribe. He was in CID form. (Called In Drunk). You could tell that he genuinely loved the guy. It was beautiful to watch. Mr. Jerkins gave him the thumbs up on the way by. It was just such a Saratoga moment. If you've ever exited the track past the fountain, you've probably heard Gene. RIP Chief
