Still to this day holds the record for the largest entourage at Keeneland (a track that has seen Royals, POTUS, and all sorts of Rich & Powerful folks).

U can't touch this has over 384 million spins.

That's gotta be worth something right? ??

I know the payouts are low, but at 1 cent, check my math, but little short of $4m.

Damn, payout is .003 . I'd forgotten how low it was. So $1.1m.

Yeah....incredibly low. It can add up, and it is all passive earning, but damn....it takes a lot.

r u his PR rep?


I think there was a documentary about it a long time ago. IIRC, he was pretty candid about allowing useless people to stay on his “payroll” because he felt like he needed to take care of everyone.

Lot of people from that time period talk about Hammer being a badass. Did not want to beef with him. Which I found funny but apparently true.

Keeneland called it an entourage, I would have called it lots and lots of remoras on a really big shark.
