It might be a "coastal" thing,but the 3 different "books' I used were pretty laid back....no bats or broken bones.

A co worker of mine was almost "de-legged" from a book last year, and this was over some Mickey Mouse $hit. (a few hundred)...We break his balls and recite the Eugene Ponticorvo scene when he walked into that joint and blasted that fat mess watching his ballgame while eating..I can't stand lame bettors who welch on thier bets...People that do things like that will be caught up to by the karma police sooner or later...

True story: Back when exacta were $5....I had a co-worker who had a 2,000 dollar tab one week....we settled accts every week. The courier was his friend. The courier gave 1500 to pay a weekly winner, and the guy who owed the 2,000 used the 1500 to "tent" his house for termites! And as far as I know ....that's where it stands to this day!

No matter how anyone stands on this, the bottom line it's sad. Greta was working her way through the ranks. Being a woman in the jockey business is not easy. It's sad she chose this lifestyle. "Bad choices, bad consequences"
She has nobody to blame except the woman in the mirror. Let's hope she comes out of this a new person free of the evils of addiction.
