Serling told me a great story when I went downstairs to visit him at Saratoga last year---he was at a table with a son of W. T. Young, Steve Crist, and some other influential breeding person...
Anyway, they start talking about Flower Alley, and I guess Andy didn't know off the top of his head that Distorted Humor was FA's sire.
Anyway, so they start talking about Distorted Humor, and Andy recalls a time he caught him to win (down at GP I believe) and he paid $36 for the win. So, W. T. Young's son says something like "wait, so everyone remembers this horse for all the good foals he's sired....and you remember him because he won you $36?" Andy says "No....it was actually $8.20...I bet him to show."
Obviously I made a little more than $22 on this race....I bet that exacta backwheel about as heavily as I've bet an exacta backwheel in as long as I can remember.
But yeah---if I got loud and annoying for a week or two before this race--I'm sorry....but I really, really, really was obsessed with this race. Complete obsession.
