lol.
Walked into Hawthorne harness during a near-blizzard in Jan '86 with two friends. 2 minutes to post. One friend and I had to use the john and we told the other guy (not a gambler) to find out who Magee was driving and gave him $36 to wheel him 1st/2nd in the exacta for two bucks.
Come out of the john and the guy who bet handed us the ticket. The race had just started. We expected we'd have Dave Magee, but the non-gambler had read the program and found Dean Magee was on the 1 horse and stopped reading.
The 1 horse was 80-1 and ran second to an 15-1 shot. Ex paid $1800. Dave Magee ran 3rd as the chalk.
