Crooow:This music would work better with women in bikinis shaking all over the place. I guess that's true of any music really.
When I saw th first picture I hoped you'd have one like this....Stanford would be so proud
I'd be the bad cigars and ugly sports coat type of racing fan.
I can't find an image of Leo Devoe from Get Shorty.

Back in the late 1800's (maybe 80s or 90s I don't recall) Leland Stanford (CA governor and university founder) supposedly made a bet that a horse, when galloping, had all four feet off the ground. Anyway he commissioned a photographer, Muybridge (yes I did have to google that part) to prove it by taking pictures...he did.
Why on earth do I know this....I have no idea, my head is full of all sorts of useless crap.
You are thinking of the episode when Hos was riding Hop Sing like a rented mule...the precursor to Broke Back Mountain.
I knew of Muybridge's work on this -- didn't know that Stanford had commissioned it.
