Loved listening to the booing as he ran. When the choice is between gambling and witnessing a great horse's walkover, gambling will win out. God bless New Yorkers. Going forward I'll have to be less judgmental about the time Philly fans booed Santa Claus.

The booing was directed at the trainer.

I thought I heard the sportscasters saying it was because the walkover meant a race they couldn't wager on.

Milfer Farm is high atop a windswept hill in upstate NY. Very scenic and Bid is buried in his entirety next to Cure The Blues.
