Geez, for a million a month you'd think they could get the whole horse, not just a quarter.

Okay - that took me awhile but I got it eventually. Godfather reference.

Mmmmm, I think it's the quarter that contains the nose - the part that goes over the line first.

Imagine the pressure a jockey must feel riding horses owned by the zetas,no wonder they had so many winners.

Re: A New Alert
Wonder what percentage of their winnings the jockeys have to kick back for protection?

Re: A New Alert
More details coming out on the race horse aspect. Rumors that they were paying $10K to have opposing horses held at the starting gate. The classic is that apparently the stable was commonly referred to as the "Zeta stable" by people at the track. Apparently the Feds are now paying for the continued care of at least 12 of the over 400 horses owned by this syndicate.

Can you handle the $200,000USD in maintenance costs?
