yeah but the movie is the suckers of the horse racing movie. BTW if you ever want to learn how a car lot REALLY works, watch Suckers.... I worked in the car sales business for a year and a half.. suckers is the closet thing to the truth that i have ever seen.
that part of the movie when they were in the grandstand and he had the woman hitting on him and the guy was bragging about how much money he made in business and how he didn't need anyone's money, then after hte race asked him why he didn't tell him what he bet because "he wasn't made of money" is soo damn classic.
it's a no win situation. if I give you a wager and it loses, now i owe you money or at best, i'm a worthless loser. if I don't' give you the pick and I hit I either 1) really didn't bet it or 2) I'm a loser because i don't like to share.
you don't know how many times I'd win a nice race at a track (i usually gamble at home but when I go to the track) and you have what I call "window spotters".. women who do nothing but look at the teller to see who has won a nice race, and then follow you around the track like the woman in the red dress and to a lesser extent the woman in the green dress did the main character.
and him going around asking everyone they liked and why and everytime they said something he'd cross it out. that was too funny. but the REAL kicker was when that horse in the paddock gave him the "seabiscuit" stare and he "saw it in his eye" he was going to win. I almost cried laughing.

I remember we used to have this cable channel that showed nothing but trailers for upcoming movies... I timed the cycle and knew EXACTLY when that trailer would play ever hour and made sure I flicked over to watch it.
