I could be wrong but I believe he DROPPED DEAD later that year; so we'll never know if it was a 'one time' thing. I'm thinking he might've gone back for more the next year.

You know how it is: if you don't HAVE a BIG DICK, you get an IMPLANT (cause you just need the biggest one around).

This is the way to go these days: from the Yankees, to the Sheiks and IEAH.

Well considering he was hardly a newbie, I'd say he tended not to do that and there was a particular reason he got Derby crazy beyond the norm--he thought he had a TC winner (as did a lot of people waiting for the anointed one to simply start the 3 races on his way to Secretariat, Jr. status) who had a weird flop just prior and in that race of all things. Since he then had a Derby winner in War Emblem when Point Given didn't get it done, he probably got the 'gotta win one right now dammit' out of his system. Couldn't prove it but then again, don't have to. The only person I need to convince is me and I'm sold. I'm sure he'd like to've won another but his catharsis was taken care of.
