You mention a race dear to my heart. I bet Alysheba, and was as far as I know the only "public" handicapper to pick the horse before the race. More importantly, my friend Steve Nagler was producing the race for ABC, and had one iso camera left, and asked me which horse to put it on. I said Alysheba, they were in tight for the replay when McCarron almost came off, and it helped ABC and Nagler get Emmys.
A few years later Steve got another one when he had an unusual idea for where to put a camera during a race:
"Mrs. Genter, Mrs. Genter, you won the Derby. I love you, Mrs. Genter..."
