Does anyone remember Harvey Pack?

[Holland Hacker]

One of my favorite "Packisms" was from when he was the handicapper with a fictional bankroll of $1,000 (or Whatever it was) on the first few Breeders Cup Telecasts and he would say he was "I'm going to El Paso" meaning he wasn't going to wager on this race as he could pick a horse or the odds were suitable.

I got the impression that is why the BC stopped inviting him to be the handicaper and went to Tom Hammonds and Mike Battaglia. We all know Harvey was a much better capper than the two of them will ever be.

I'll be looking forward to reading his biography, it should be interesting.
