History of The Game: Tom Fool [01:18]
Take a look back at legendary Tom Fool and the race named in his honor with Richard Migliore. The Hall of Fame horse had one of the finest campaigns in racing history as a four-year-old in 1953. His sterling 10-for-10 campaigns was enough to earn him Horse of the Year over fellow legend Native Dancer. When his full career is taken into account, it is no wonder he is considered one of the very best of all time. The G3 Tom Fool, run in his honor at Aqueduct Racetrack, has been won by horses who are impressive in their own right. The Mig looks at three of them - King's Swan, Groovy, and Ghostzapper.

Betfair trading - ramblings of a scalper [08:21]
I normally trade football at HT but it's so damned slow and there's a good chance I'd make a recording to find out there are no opps to scalp so thought I'd record a horsey market pre-race and provide some commentary on what is going through a trader's mind when looking at the market. Unplanned so a lot of rambling. If it helps the newbie trader then that's all I can ask for! If you make a career out of it, send me a nice bottle of 15 year old single malt. I could just trade and record that but you won't know why I did something or didn't do something. In fact, it's the non-activity that will save you from emptying your bank! Excuse the bongs and bings - it's a signal that some football match was about to kick off. Fun of Geek's Toy! Oh, and the term is "BSD". ;) DISCLAIMER: gambling and trading are high risk activities. There are no guarantees that you will make money. You may lose more than you initially risk and accept responsibility for your own losses.

Buckpasser - 1966 Horse Of The Year [11:49]
Buckpasser (1963--1978) was an American-bred Thoroughbred racehorse who won nine of his eleven race starts for international record winnings for a two-year-old of $586090. He was leading broodmare sire in 1983, 1984 and 1989. Buckpasser was a bay colt that was bred and owned by Ogden Phipps and foaled at Claiborne Farm in Paris, Kentucky. He was by the Horse of the Year winner Tom Fool, and his dam was the stakes-winning mare Busanda, by the Triple Crown winner War Admiral. Busanda's second dam was the Blue Hen broodmare La Troienne (FR). He was a half-brother to several other horses that included the stakes-winners Bupers (won $221688) and Bureaucracy ($156635). Buckpasser was inbred in the fourth generation (4m x 4f) to the French racehorse and an influential sire Teddy. Racing official Dr. Manual Gilman said of him, "Generally, every horse has about a hundred faults of conformation. I would defy anybody to pick a flaw in Buckpasser." Renowned horse painter Richard Stone Reeves said, "Buckpasser was the most perfectly proportioned Thoroughbred I have ever seen." Only two horses, Secretariat and Affirmed, have since been "in a class with Buckpasser". en.wikipedia.org
