A. bookmaker who began his seedy career by threatening young jockeys with death if they didn't "pull" their horses.
"Scandal on the Turf " the Los Angeles Times proclaimed. It was October 1940, a mere few months after Seabiscuit had won the Santa Anita Derby, and now this bombshell: "Six Jockeys Admit Horse Races Fixed." The Gambler and the Bug Boy recounts this dark chapter in horse racing history. At its center is Bernard "Big" Mooney, a flashy L.A. bookmaker who began his seedy career by threatening young jockeys with death if they didn't "pull" their horses. His unwilling partner is Albert Siler, a callow, eighteen-year-old apprentice rider (a so-called bug boy) from eastern Oregon. John Christgau tells how Big Mooney manipulated this promising rider and how Siler tried to escape the gambler's criminal grip without ruining his career. Christgau's book gives all the harrowing details of the unraveling plot and the botched court case that followed which riveted the attention of the nation. Told in full for the first time, this story brings to light a little-known but important horse racing scandal.Binding Type: Paperback

Very effective and nice lavender fragrance
This stuff works great and smells really nice. It’s not too strong. It has a nice lavender fragrance. I would purchase this again and again.

Smells like medicine
I am editing my review to give a better feedback. It smells great on a dog, just like cedar. I tried it on something else first, and it didn't have the same smell. It's good, I approve :)
Original review:
I am a fan of evergreen and woodsy scents, so I had high hopes for this. Unfortunately it smells "mediciney" to me, I don't know how else to describe it. Kindof reminds me of Vicks vaporub when I was a kid.. pretty disappointing.

Fleas hate the smell to death!!
So I bought this spray mainly for refreshing my pup during the day.
The smell of Furrest is amazing.
Fortunately for us, his fleas hate it to death ☠️.I seriously say to death because his fleas were dropping off him within mins of him being sprayed.
I love this product and I do plan to mention what it does for us.
