    Ah, so we have confirmation that Mr. Angus does illegal things.

    Yeah, but running a racetrack and owning horses isn’t illegal

    Yes, we finally have a first name for this character. Given the cat eyes, “Tabby” is quite fitting.

    It seems that he’s running an illegal gambling racket. That might explain the fixed-odds bets. Although I think that parimutuel betting is probably mandatory for all tracks in the U.S., fixed-odds bets are much more likely for illegal bookies. Bookmaking is illegal everywhere in the U.S., I think with the possible exception of Nevada. Even then, I have a feeling that they need a license from the gaming commission.

    Well, that caption should answer a lot of questions about what Angus does when he’s not putting ships in bottles.—I have to think Kolossal didn’t know that Angus owns the track. Otherwise, I don’t think he’d be fool enough to run Angus’ own horse there without Angus spotting it – to say nothing of ripping off ol’ Angus on the bets.Of course, every crook thinks they’re smarter than everyone else, and no one will catch them.

    Good morning guys

    Angus owns the track and the horses? I know where my bets would be at his track!

    Bad idea Kolossal. And, RIP Rubin “Hurricane” Carter. One example of the law not always getting the right man.

    You just know that Angus doesn’t really believe that his prize horse got winded from studio lights. “That could be,” he says. Fat chance!

    I thought that race horses have ID numbers tattooed on their lips.

    Movie studios are a poor way to launder money. Overhead is incredible and profits and losses too closely monitored (and its usually losses). Service industries are best. I believe the Vatican Bank is very good at it (for a moderate piece of the action) but Pope Francis is trying to get them out of the business.

    Kolossal could greet Angus with a .357 magnum squeeze off 3 or 5 rounds ……. then just walk away ….. then call DT and explain .. I bet his chances would be better.

    I suppose if I’d been named ‘Tabby’ I’d turn to a life of crime, too.

    I mean, look at how Vader came to be.

    A man can only be called ‘Annie’ so many times before he snaps.

    Well then, Mr. Tabby Angus, it could be that your horse got hot and winded from studio lights at a photoshoot. Not from secretly being run in a race at your track by a rat-fink, cheating underling with an ego to match his name. Oh, no; that could not be….

    Morning all. Nice to know one can come back from a vacation and find out all is as it was in Tracyville. The thrills, spills and chills of each story can sustain the average cadet through the most ho-hum days. The excitement is like a major caffeine boost! Hey, I can dream, can’t I???

    Is Angus a “classic” character, or a Staton/Curtis creation?

    There have been rare instances of tattooed horses being switched. However, it’s when both horses have the same owner in most cases. No wonder there were so many winning bets; you had to have Quickdraws connections in on it (trainer, groom, jockey, etc) the track vet (check tattoo) and any other witnesses. Now Kolossal can make more money next time by betting against QuickDraw, who might be 2-1 due to his previous race. Hey, our moon girl should be a jockey….she’s got a built in electrical device so she can cheat without risking bring caught with a battery, lol

    He came from the “Gould mine”!That’s a very clever pun, but I believe the answer to the question being asked is the opposite of what your pun implies. I think this character is a creation of Staton/Curtis.
