One thing I remember about Mr Frisky is the arbitrage that was possible as a result of humongous betting on him in Puerto Rico. If you had bet every other horse in the race in Puerto Rican parimutuals, and bet Mr Frisky at Churchill Downs, you could have constructed a guaranteed win of over 30% of the total amount bet, regardless of which horse won the race.
