ana race tracks as an Eskimo
knows about the price of seats at
tight In Madison Square Garden In
fact she asks In the taxi on the way
to the race track, how the horses know
which way to run and do they have to
be told when to start.
Oracle was down to San Diego to
see the sights and Jake kind of liked
her looks when he saw her In the
hotel lobby. OF course he didn't know
she was 50 dumb, or maybe he wouldn't
have asked her to go to the races with
him. Jake got a program and showed
Oracle how each horse was rated, but
she didn't get any of it.
Look" she says, "you mean to tell
me Flytrap's the name of horse
that one down at the end Of the list?
Sure Jake says. why not? I've
heard of worse names than that"
''But why do they have him down
at the end of the list? You said he
was twenty-to-one. What does that
mean?"
Simply this" Jake says. Hes 80
good they WON'T put him up at the
head of the list They start him way
down at the end SOS all the other
