Yes, I accidently got behind him the other day and their was about 15 people within 5 feet trying to get a sniff of what he is playing...I wouldn't be surprised to find out that he sweeps cards at AP on a regular basis.....

I'll never forget, last year I am chillin in the paddock, Hobby has two horses in the race, horses are gone and he comes up to Calabrese and shooting the ****, about 8mtp. I hear Hobby go, "The public is nuts for betting my one horse, and the other horse is 10/1 and is better". Calabrese goes right to the windows (There are windows within 10 feet in the paddock, one live teller and 3 machines)

I go up to the window and put 200wp and $100 exacta box with Bird Charm, Hobby's horse and another. Hobby's 3/1 ran last, while his 10/1 ran 2nd with Bird Charm winning, for a $100 exacta and I think a $10 place price.
