A friend of mine and I were
A friend of mine and I were working for Chris Christoforou Sr at Buffalo in 1977. He had a green gelding at the time named Willowbrook Todd. Todd was a great handicapper! He liked to paw in the cross ties; one day Tony said "Todd, who's the winner of the first tonight?" Todd pawed 3 (or however many times) an sure enough that horse won at a price. We hit quite a few races--and even a few daily doubles that way!
