Beyer in Argentina: Hemisphere Unapproachable?

[SlewsMyHero]

I love the last paragraph. It's classic Beyer.

When I bet a horse named Curius Emperor, and watched the jockey steady him three times before making a suicidal five-wide move, I cursed A. Giorgis at Palermo just as I would curse Joe Bravo at Gulfstream Park, and I searched for the Spanish word for "pinhead."

His original description to me was actually even funnier.

"pinhead" was not the original word, I'm guessing?

It was just something funny about travelling a long way for bad rides.

He can get that identical trip every day at TAM on the turf. No need to leave the country.

That was basically the joke.

I've never really paid much attention, but doesn't Laurel simulcast races from Uruguay? Are there separate U.S. pools for those races?

Does anybody ever actually bet those things?

Well, some things are universal.
