was at the Meadowlands about 10 years ago. went outside to watch the trotters warm up while waiting for the night tbred simul to start.
saw this horse flying around the track like a wild horse warming up. I remeber thinking "holy sh** who is that?"
long story short I don't have the harness program so I walk inside and there is this old buck sitting with the program. I ask him who the 8 horse in the 8th race is cause he is warming up like Niatross. He tells me the horse is 20/1ml and for some reason John Campbell gets on tonight for the first time. The old guy thanx me and says he's gonna put a couple of bucks in the race.
I dont bet the race. horse wires the field and pays $163.60 (yes i remember exactly) I was SICK.
then I am walking to the bathroom and I catch a glimpse of the old buck cashing online. he comes off the line with a PILE of hundreds and comes over and hands me 10 bucks and says " thanx kid i just bet 16 bucks in the race and collected $2,300.00 on that horse"
SICK
