I remember one of my most annoying butcher jobs as a gambler came on a turf horse named Ay Caramba (sp?) that Eduardo Camaroni trained.
He beat Leroidesanmeaux by 3 lengths in some turf race at Gavea in Leroy's final start in Brazil.
After that race, Leroy went to Bobby Frankel and had won like 4 straight races in awesome style - the latest was a course record or near course record win in the Inglewood.
Ay Caramba was entered in some dogsh!t turf stakes race at a mile at Mountaineer - and was like 20/1 on the ML. He couldn't possibly lose off of his Gavea form.
Naturally he scratches ... a few days later he wins an allowance race on the turf at Churchill by about 3 lengths - goes off at about 9/2 - and I somehow missed that he was entered.
That Ay Carmaba horse ended up being a graded stakes winner over here.
Pico Central also hooked up in a turf race at Gavea against Hard Buck

Hard Buck was the blah horse of McPeak's who he took to Ascot for the King Geroge and QE Diamond and somehow got to run 2nd. He also ran 2nd in Dubai with him.
