It doesn't seem to me there are as many colorful Runyonesque characters at the track as there used to be and that is sad. Of course, hardly anyone is going to the track anymore when you can play from the convenience of your own home and save on overpriced fuel.

What is the name of the British chap who has the muttonchops and the crazy hat? Now that is one colorful dude. He always roots for the Euros, unashamedly I might add.

He's an egocentric bore but interesting in very small doses. He was recently booted off second in some type of British "Celebrity Big Brother House" contest.

He's John McCririck
