From a previous thread

I assume the links with IEAH were common knowledge but in case it wasn't.

Was talking to Chuck about this today. When I worked in downtown Manhattan I would run to the John St. OTB at lunch to bet the early double every day. The place is full of degenerates and homeless people looking to warm up, with the occasional horseplaying trader wandering in. On this specific day, A One Rocket went off as the favorite, stepping up in class from $7.5K (which at the time was the ABSOLUTE BOTTOM LEVEL NYRA race, and any horse running there was talentless, crippled, or both) to $20K, which even on the inner can have some salty types. Despite these black marks, suit after suit came in to bet $500, $1000, $5000, including one woman who had no idea how to even make a win bet (she had to ask me for advice) yet got down for $3000ish. Of course, he aired, and the IEAH bunch there got an earful from me and several other of the legitimate horseplayers there. They knew the score with Martin, and chose to ignore it.

I've hated them ever since, despite my interest in Big Brown.
