So when you get one of these contracts, the best thing to do is head to the Turf Club and try to double your cash on the 5th race at Santa Anita. Now, which one of you wants to take Uncle Miltie's slip down to the OTB?

Interesting piece in this morning's Daily News detailing the government's inexplicable, hurtful witchhunt against one of America's finest leaders.

Federal prosecutors laid out their fraud and tax-evasion case against T. Milton Street Sr., the outgoing mayor's flamboyant brother, in court papers filed Friday.

The 36-page filing said that prosecutors might call as many as 47 witnesses to testify against Street, including his own son and a woman familiar with Street's wagering practices at the Philadelphia Turf Club. ...

If convicted of all charges, Street could face three years behind bars under advisory sentencing guidelines.

First thought: 'Tleast he wasn't fighting dogs.

Second thought: He bet on Barbaro in the Belmont, didn't he?
