Bangor Maine OTB, 1985 with a few friends from the Samoset playing the ponies <Patti as the DD>?.
Down most of my bankroll and heading out the door I looking up and see a horse at a Oklahoma Fair Ground, his name "Smoking Logan" at 75-1....With my last $20 I rush to the window and toss it down on him #7 to WIN....Patti shaking her head....
Four very buzzed guys staring at the tv as the call of the race blares: They are coming around the third turn, it's Smoking Logan picking them off one by one, Smoking Logan on the far outside....Smoking Logan with his nose up in the cool night air.....And it's SMOKING LOGAN BY A NOSE!!!! For the WIN, IT'S SMOKING LOGAN!!!!!.....:00hour
Cashed the ticket and did the call of the race the whole way home....We still talk and laugh about that trip....Well, all except Patti, she's heard the story far too many times.....:0008
