I had a love hate relationship with Skip Away. I loved watching him run but hated betting on him at Short prices.
I remember being at Monmouth Park for one of his races (I think the Iselin) in either a 5 or 6 horse field and the track didn't allow show wager, for fear of creating a minus pool. For some reason that really irked me as I wanted to bet against him finishing in the money assuming that there would be several "jumpers."
Oh Well RIP big guy.
