Wayne Lukas, and the billionaire owner of the San Diego Chargers pro-football team, Eugene Klein. Meanwhile, three fun-loving gamblers, Miami Paul, Dino Mateo, and Big Bernie believed that Winning Colors could be the unlikely female winner of the 1988 Kentucky Derby.When the gamblers unknowingly place their longshot bet with members of a suspected drug cartel at a racetrack in Tijuana, Mexico, they must figure out how to claim their prize -- without getting killed in the process.

While racing motorcycles at age 15, he was incarcerated in a Mexican jail (he was released after six days, completely rehabilitated). He began his gambling career by sneaking into Hollywood Park and Santa Anita at age 16 by giving degenerate looking gamblers free betting tickets in exchange for pretending they were his parents. Mark made a 5,000-mile sail boat journey through the Panama Canal and then on to the island of Jamaica, to attend Caribbean and South American horseraces. He completed these gambling junkets alone, via bus, to gamble at the local thoroughbred racetracks. Blond and blue eyed, he stood out from the local horseplayers. He was robbed a few times. He was a participant in a $1 million win on the 1988 Kentucky Derby with two other gamblers through a bet placed in Tijuana, Mexico. Cashing this wager and getting back to U.S. soil alive was the adventure of a lifetime. He has owned interests in 34 racehorses. Mark has enjoyed a long career in commercial real estate in Southern California having transacted over $3 billion worth of transactions. With his wife, Renee, Mark raised over $750,000 for City of Hope Cancer research through events held at the Santa Anita racetrack. In May 2018 the Supreme Court ruled to allow State legalized sports betting. Mark believes that public interest in gambling and sports in general will reach new levels, and he plans to chronicle the lives of adventurous risk takers who aim to win the benefits from life-changing horseraces, and other kinds of sporting events.

Excerpt from By Jumna's BanksOf course, Mama! I haven't been out four months yet, and have met Captain Macdonald about half - a-dozen times: it is quite too absurd! He is a pleasant enough man and very nice looking too, but, I don't feel in the least bit in love with him - I have hardly thought of him at all.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Yes, 'tis my iced peg, and his--" "Do let me hear your story, Mr. Crofton, and don't mind Jack." "Well, Miss Crawford, after our labours and lunch were over, we were placidly resting in the shade, smoking the "pipe of peace" quite happy, careless, and contended." "Idle after dinner in his chair." "Hush Jack! Go on, Mr. Crofton." "When an elderly female appeared on the scene, carrying a Moorah. She placed the Moorah at a very short distance from us and then placed herself on it, side ways to us, and proceeded to contemplate the sad sea waves, (meaning the muddy canal water)." "Not ruddy, fat, nor fair was she!" said Jack. "She had that stupid, listening look, which I have noticed in most deaf people, especially when they put the hand up to help the sound into the ear. So without saying anything to each other we both concluded she was hard of hearing: and this belief was confirmed almost immediately, by her remaining stony and immoveable during some very loud and shrill calls for "Miss Gerad! Miss Ge-rad!" Well, as we were the first comers, we stayed where we were and continued our conversation as though it had never been interrupted. After we had exhausted several subjects, we naturally turned to her, and I said--What did I say, Crawford?" "You said--What an evil-tempered-looking, fiddle-headed, old frump that is,"--gently waving your pipe in her direction. And 1 replied, mildly: 'She certainly aint a beauty according to our lights, but an ivory man might value her for tusks!'--When--you c...

About the Book Titles on banks and banking cover the history and activities of financial institutions that accept deposits from the public and create credit. Lending activities may be performed either directly or indirectly through capital markets. Being very important to the financial stability of a country, banks have over time become highly regulated in most countries, with banks required to hold liquid assets equal to only a portion of their current liabilities. Banking evolved in the 14th century in the prosperous cities of Renaissance Italy, but this was really a continuation of ideas and concepts of credit and lending that had their roots in ancient times. Since the 14th century a number of banking dynasties have played a central role – notably, the Medicis, Fuggers, Welsers, Berenbergs, and Rothschilds.Also in this Book Books on personal finance investment provide suggestions on how and where to invest; that is, allocate money with the expectation of receiving some benefit in the future. While this might also cover investment in real estate, the focus is mostly on investment in financial assets, such as shares, where the return consists of capital and dividends, interest, rental income, or some combination. Investors are generally advised to adopt a specific investment strategy, and to appropriately diversify their portfolio of assets.And in this Book Economics reference books deal with the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. As a social science, in economics the focus is on the behaviour and interactions of economic agents, and how whole economies work. Titles in our collection may be categorized into microeconomics, which analyzes basic elements in the economy, including individual agents (like households, firms, buyers, and sellers) and markets and their interactions. In macroeconomics the emphasis is on the economy as a whole (i.e. aggregated production, consumption, savings, and investment) and factors influencing it, including the use of resources (such as labour, capital, and land), inflation, economic growth, and the public policies influencing these issues. These include monetary policy (influencing interest rates) and fiscal policy (influencing expenditures).About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.
