The Guys $12.76 Rated: PGSynopsis: In the wake of the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington D.C., of September 11, 2001, Jim Simpson, the creative director of New York City's Flea Theater Company, wanted to stage a theater piece which would deal with the human impact of this tragedy. When Simpson met journalist Anne Nelson, he discovered a true life story which dealt with the September 11 incidents in an intimate but affecting manner, and he encouraged her to adapt her story into a play; the drama quickly became a major critical success, and Simpson made his screen directorial debut with this film adaptation. Joan (Sigourney Weaver) is a veteran journalist who through a friend finds herself taking on an unusual assignment: Nick is a captain in the New York Fire Department who lost eight of the 12 men in his company while attempting to evacuate the World Trade Center towers following the terrorist attacks. Nick has been given the responsibility of delivering their eulogies at a series of memorial services, but Nick has no experience with such things and isn't sure of what to say. Joan volunteers to help, and over the course of several days she interviews Nick, finding out how much (or how little) he knew about the men under his command, and together they try to find the words to honor each man's memory, and pay tribute to their sacrifices in the larger picture of a national tragedy. Sigourney Weaver, who appeared in the initial Flea Theater Company production of The Guys, is also the wife of director Jim Simpson; Bill Murray, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, and Amy Irving are among the actors who have also lent their talents to the show.

The Big Horse $13.99 "The big horse," in racing vernacular, is the animal that brings fame and fortune to a stable. He's the heavyweight champion, the All-American quarterback, the four-legged Michael Jordan of the barn. Seabiscuit was once Tom Smith's "big horse." A generation ago, Secretariat was Lucien Lauren's. In 2003, Funny Cide was Barclay Tagg's. In sixty years as a trainer, P. G. Johnson had never had one -- until Volponi. P. G. Johnson was a blue-collar wizard, a hardscrabble tough guy who had come east from Chicago, determined to make his mark on New York. And he did. He became leading trainer at all three New York tracks -- Saratoga, Belmont, and Aqueduct -- as well as at Florida's Tropical Park. And he did it without ever winning a Triple Crown or Breeders' Cup event, or having "the big horse." "I never knew how to kiss rich people's asses, and I got too old to learn. If no owner was going to give me a big horse, I figured I'd have to find one myself," he said. He did that, in his seventies, buying a mare for $8,000, breeding her to a $20,000 stallion, and in 1998 producing Volponi, the horse that would change his life. In October 2002, weakened by surgery and radiation treatment for cancer, P. G. watched Volponi -- the longest shot in the field at 43 to 1 -- bring home more than $2 million by winning the Breeders' Cup Classic, the richest race in America. The following summer at Saratoga, McGinniss -- journalist, investigative reporter, and horse racing obsessive -- began showing up, more Tuesdays with Morrie than Guys and Dolls, at P. G.'s barn in the predawn hours to listen to the inside racing stories and lore P. G. had gathered. McGinniss came to appreciate that Johnson was not only a stellar horseman but an American original whose wit and wisdom carried far beyond the confines of the racetrack. As for Volponi, the big horse had given P. G. the perfect Disney ending with the Breeders' Cup victory, and, indeed, Disney soon bought film rights to P. G.'s life story. "He'll be even better next year," P. G. had said, but by the time McGinniss got to Saratoga, Volponi had not won a race in nine months. His faith undiminished, P. G. continued to race Volponi against the best, at Saratoga and beyond, until in the end it came down to the 2003 Breeders' Cup Classic in Santa Anita, a race only one horse in history had ever won twice. As fires burned in the Southern California hills, Volponi -- with Funny Cide's jockey, Jose Santos, in the saddle -- ran the last race of his life. This book is about what happened that day, about what came after, and about much of what had come before. It's the most exciting, rewarding, and heartwarming story about the world of horse racing that you'll ever read, by one of America's finest writers, at the top of his form. |

Guys and Dolls [Original Broadway Cast] $15.18 Guys and Dolls, based on the stories of Damon Runyon about New York gamblers, became a stunning success upon its Broadway opening in 1950. While Abe Burrows' libretto was much praised, the show's main asset is Frank Loesser's songs, which are unfailingly tuneful and which accurately represent the vernacular of Runyon's characters, from "Fugue for Tinhorns," a trio song full of horse racing slang, to "Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat," a revival meeting pastiche in which a gambler claims to have found salvation. "Luck Be a Lady," a gambler's ode to good fortune, became a standard. Winning as these are, love songs such as "I'll Know" and "I've Never Been in Love Before" are equally affecting. And that isn't even to mention the songs that became contemporary hits, "If I Were a Bell" and "A Bushel and a Peck." The original cast was headed by Vivian Blaine, a comic singer effective at putting across the humorous material, and Robert Alda, who proved to be a smooth-voiced, commanding lead. The original Broadway cast album was recorded December 3, 1950, and hit #1 in March 1951. It remains the definitive version of a score that has not been recorded as often as one might expect, given the show's perennial appeal. After a 1991 upgrade for the CD era, it was reissued in 2000 to mark the show's 50th anniversary. In addition to 24-bit remastering and a redesigned CD booklet with lots of photographs, this version contained as bonus tracks the four recordings released in 1955 from the movie soundtrack. This material makes an interesting gloss on the original recordings and is a welcome addition. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi Performers: George S. Kaufman - Staging; Douglas Deane - Vocals; Isabel Bigley - Vocals; Robert Alda - Vocals; Stubby Kaye - Vocals; Vivian Blaine - Vocals |

Cracking the Horse Racing Betting and Handicapping Nut
Want to be a horse racing handicapper? Maybe you think that gambling for a living is easy, exciting, fun? That depends on your idea of fun and excitement, as for the easy, ain't nothing easy about handicapping horse races and picking winners that will make you a profit and pay your bills. There is a lot of truth in the old wheeze, "How do you make a small fortune betting on horses? Start with a big fortune."
Making enough money from your wagers to recoup the investment, as well as overcoming the vig. (the amount the track takes out), and then to pay yourself for your time and effort is what is called cracking the nut. Anyone who tells you that picking winners for a living isn't brain surgery is right, it's tougher. If you die on the operating table while the saw bones is working on your brain, the surgeon still gets paid. If your horse dies in the stretch and doesn't win, you don't get paid.
Tell your landlord that you don't have the money for the rent because Sparkplug got nipped at the wire and your next bet will be on Homeless Shelter in the 4th at Palooka Downs. That puts a lot of pressure on you as you look at your racing form and try to decide if that slight edge in speed that the 4 exhibited in its last race will overcome its lack of pace. Gee, Bill, you sure must have gotten out of bed on the wrong side or something. Who's a Mister Gloomy Gus this morning?
Okay, wise guy, don't believe me? Try it and see how long you have the opinion that betting on horses and making it pay is easy. I didn't say impossible, but I did say it isn't easy. Why does a guy who makes a living teaching people how to pick winners and who also runs a handicapping service start by trying to discourage potential customers?
For the same reason they tell you to look to your left and then your right on your first day of special forces training and then inform you that the guy you see on either side of you won't make it. If I had you all in a room I could do the same thing with my handicapping hopefuls, but I can't. I also don't want to teach you or sell you information and then have you tell me, you promised I could make a lot of money betting on horses. You might, but I didn't tell you that.
Cracking the nut is tough. It takes a special kind of person. If you don't make a fortune betting on horse races after giving it your best shot, don't feel bad. I can't play the cello and my dreams of being a rock star were quickly dashed when I picked up a guitar. I still sing in the shower and you can still be a recreational horse player.
I'll let you in on a little secret, being a recreational handicapper and horse player is a lot more fun than being a professional horse player. The latter is a high pressure situation. The suicide rate is very high for gamblers, so is the divorce rate and let's not even talk about the health issues most will face. Therefore, my recommendation for the people who subscribe to my service or buy my information is to start out with reasonable expectations. Tell yourself you are going to do it as long as it is fun and see how far you get with it. For a few people, it will mean going all the way and becoming pros, for others it will mean becoming a good handicapper and having fun on occasional outings to the local race track or OTB. Others may find they just don't want to put in the effort and will stick with playing their lucky numbers.
Whatever you decide, as long as you're honest with yourself and don't do anything destructive, you've made the right choice. As for cracking the nut, leave that to a few of us crazies and the squirrels.
