Can you explain the TROT reference?

Trot, was Sandy's nick name on the NYMEX exchange floor. Also a shout to The Thorn, now you know I go way back bitch.

Maybe and maybe you used AI like I did ... Although it was hard to find images of the women to see what they looked like. Had to go to Imdb ... ngc3

I didn't know he was involved on the exchange I used to see him in the paddock. Long wool trenchcoat, looking and acting like a gangster. Ben Steall, Rene Poulin and Jimmy Marohn among his to go to clients for "dead" drives. $200 cash usually did the trick.

I never had a problem with Andy. Now, Russell Bagon was a different story
-
I don't think Cat Manzi got an envelope he just bet against himself. His signal to whoever was betting was to sit with the out rider at Freehold. Some races you would think is it really possible. I remember the final to some series, he won almost every race leading up to the final and he had a choice of 5 or 6 and his pick was 1/5 and he got a 4th place check.

We was one of the early guys on the NYMEX exchange. Horses were his hobby, long with broads, and other extra Curricular's. Now he's involved with TB's.

Catman was in my opinion WAY overrated. I had no use for this nasty cokehead.

Ha, Russell would brag about how he had a young George Brennan under his thumb at Monti when GB was getting started.. Was banished to Florida to ply his trade at Pompano
-
Skeeter Pines would hand out the envelopes outside of Yonkers gates ( he was banned from Yonkers) than head up to one of the OTB parlors in Orange County and pound his numbers. He would do it quietly as a crowd would gather around the window he was betting.
Always Trifectas, and only one race a day leaving out 3-4 drivers and playing multiple combos with the "live" drivers so it looked like a real race.
Hilarious. I have not bet YR since the '90's

Dead on accurate. A current driver at Monticello, a winner, not a loser once told me Russell once broke into Billy Parker's trailer while he was day racing and stole $40,000 cash along with a couple of other guys. Billy found out but didnt even do anything. I trust my source, so I must believe it is true.

Heard that a long time ago. $80,000

On January 13th, 1994 chargers were filed against Russell Bagon, Dennis Fawcett, Tom Merton, Danny Ricco, Joe Napolitano, William Maroney and Phil Bogner for race fixing at The Mighty M. The story said if convicted each could face up to 10 years in prison and a $500,000 fine. I don't recall any follow up story with any fines or convictions.

Russel ultimately died young, Tommy Meerton and Dennis Fawcett had their careers effectively ended, Tommy, IMHO, had reak talents as a driver. I truly belive he could have had a major career. Dennis was a nice kid and an above average driver. Danny Eicco ended up in Fla. Got in trouble with the FBI down there, I think. Unsure about the other two. I knew Phil Bogner, Race fixing sleaze who I wouldnt talk to beyond discussing the weather,

Cat Manzi was never a great drib=ver. Only a good cheat. why do you think he'a working for chancelleries?

You about 4 years late on this one

I was introduced to Andy Herzog by my friend Brad Sheiner (RIP) at the "Mighty M". He had a private box and people would follow him to the window. LOL! Andy's dad "Lefty", owned the Lefty's restaurant in Monticello. Best onion soup and burgers in town. Was always packed on the weekends. I saw Andy almost every night at the track. He was a big gambler then. What has haapened to him? It's been over 30 years since i've seen him.
-
If I recall correctly it was Andy who gave $$$$$ to Dennis Fawcett, Tom Merton and Danny Ricco. And as I recall a deal was reached because Andy said it was simply a loan, not an "envelope" to go dead with their horses.
Their punishment was to be tossed and not face criminal charges for those three. Tommy is back training and driving.
I saw Danny lissted to drive but there was a lat change a couple of weeks ago.
Again, this is based on my crappy memory

Last time I saw Andy was 10 years ago, the last time I had horses racing at Monti. He had a box in the deserted grandstand with TVs for simulcasting and a SAM betting machine plus the usual entourage. He also had many horses racing at the time at different tracks with that questionable outfit from Fla. Cant think of the trainer's name right down but they were somewhat successful

Langley or something like that, I think

Didn’t he use Tracey and Josh ?

Don was her father. He might have been out of the picture. The stable was in Tracey’s name but Josh Mark’s ran the show. He could certainly light em up.

Yeah, I knew who ya meant I do remember a time when don was listed, then tracey of course, not Josh
