Pretty sad that Milch has such a huge problem gambling on the ponies, I hope he gets help for his sake.

Does he throw $576 dollars chasing a 25K Thursday Pick 6 pool?

All kidding aside it wouldn't be surprising if he was doing most of the bridge jumping.

Small Pick 4?

Interesting to study this very sad story. If Milch played 200 days a year for 30 years he would have had to lose $12,500 per day to drop this much. I guess that's possible, but I expect more to this story will emerge.

doubt he just lost on horses. Most people with a problem will
bet on anything

Not sure but I thought I read he was an owner as well..Inexperienced horseman without help can blow a boatload at auction..

Here's the link to the full Hollywood Reporter story. It's a really riveting read. And really depressing.

The Santa Anita folks quoted paint him as some sort of gambling savant.

Yeah, but I thought his colleague put it really well:

"David was really good at handicapping — he was very, very good at picking winners," he says. "With such a complex mind, he could do these exotic bets. But it's what holds every gambler back: In the end, you do it too much."

Sounds like he was incapable of passing a race.
