10pm 2005-05-04 ALL NEW!
WHEN JOCKEY IS SHOT DOWN, POLICE GO DOWN THE STRETCH AND LOOK FOR KILLER AT RACETRACK -- The shooting death of a Panamanian horse jockey puts Detectives Fontana (Dennis Farina) and Falco (guest star Michael Imperioli, "The Sopranos") on the track of a pack of colorful suspects who inhabit the competitive racing world, forcing them to nudge jockeys, trainers -- and even a rich owner -- to discover who would murder the rider over his desire to ride one particular horse.

Let's see if SOMEONE finally portrays racing as something other than CONTROLLED by mafiaoso types.

I have some lingering memories of something like the plot for L & O actually happened in England some years ago.

Any one else recall the specifics?

Racing used to play a bit part in the show when Jerry Orbach was still on the show. Lenny Briscoe knew the ponies RIP

Did he shoot the Panamanian jockey thinking he was really Mariano Rivera?

It sounds like the horse is a suspect in a murder! His mob connections were not mentioned. :D :D :D

If he is a suspect he'd better be damn careful or he might lose his head.

Was the thinking in this episode?Put a bullet in the head of the image of horseracing?Aside from the bad writing(they must have buried the good writers with Jerry Orbach as a tribute),bad acting,lack of a ending,it wasn't that bad.

AGAIN NOTHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT RACING......WHY IS IT YOU GUYS WERE NOT SUSPECTS AND THE WRONG JOCK WAS SHOT.....JOCK WAS STIFFING THE HORSE AND NO ONE MENTIONS AN IRATE BETTOR AS A
SUSPECT.....MAYBE I SHOULD WRITE A SCREENPLAY.....DO RACING SOME JUSTICE.... :bang:

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WAS THE END-----I THOUGHT IT WAS TO BE CONTINUED BUT NOT...I'M BEWILDERED...BUT THAT'S NOTHING NEW.

They did bring the concern of milkshakes out. But they casted racing as shady as usual. Drugging, holding back,bought 'hidden', and so on. Now I know why the didn't use the NY names, it would be a black eye to the track.
