The odd couple when Oscar is getting tips from a midget groom that is too short to be a jockey is an absolute classic. That is the episode where my signature came from.

Easy Money. From when they go to the bar with the tip to when "Nicky" pulls the rider off the sulky... Classic.

I liked The Sting with their OTB setup. Past posting, using the Western Union line. Gondorph was tremendous.

McHale's Navy PT 109 (1964) when their horse is smuggled into the track under Capt. Leadbottom's nose.

The race horse on the boat is classic!!

Tim Conway was about as funny a dufus as TV ever had....
