Coupla things-- interesting that both both Beychok and another of our guys (Brian Wagner) both do the same thing, both out of New Orleans, but on opposite sides of the political fence.

I once met Clinton\'s mom at Saratoga, but Carville being a horseplayer is news to me.

I have a picture of Carville and myself at FGDS - I held the Racing Form up in front of us - my brother asked if I did that to show the date \"I took him hostage\"...he loves the horses, and was truly into it until a young man workng for a candidate in the state appraoched him...the horse playing disappeared for 30 mins at least.  Priorities, I guess.

Truly a fun guy and the quickest wit I\'ve encountered.  Anyone wants the pic, I\'m happy to send along.  Not pretentious at all, he was sitting by himself at the 2nd floor bar, I parked myself there next to a DRF opened without anyone reading it...he appeared alone 5 mins later for some great DRF conversation.  He knows what TG is BTW.
