Handicapping / HORSE VIDEO ~ MUSICAL
« Last post by RUFFIAN on October 22, 2017, 09:54:59 AM »THIS IS TOO COOL NOT TO SHARE!
It’s easy as Secretariat in the Belmont. It’s called “Fugue for Tinhorns.”
Never heard of it? Oh yeah, you have. You just didn’t know what it was called.
Neither did I until I looked it up.
If you do one thing today, play it {LINK BELOW} It will make you smile.
The clip is from the movie but it debuted on Broadway in 1950.
It’s from the musical “Guys and Dolls,” which has a strong gambling undertone to it.
It still holds up pretty well.
I saw it in Chicago and at the Hollywood Bowl,
which you should do whenever that venue does theater.
If you didn’t click on the link and are still wondering, it starts:
“I got the horse right here, the name is Paul Revere.
And here's a guy that says if the weather's clear, can do. Can do.
This guy says the horse can do. If he says the horse can do. Can do. Can do.”
