My theory might be another "jump-in" gone terribly,terribly wrong, and his fellow Quinquistadores" were smart enough to know they'd never get him close enough to the Statue of Don Quijote of La Mancha by Cinco De Mayo weekend and thereby ruining everything,..So, the next two places of noblity were possibly the shrubs at Don Richardos and Los Feliz Ave, another choice to toss "one of their own" in his final resting place, flipped for it, and hey, Cinco De Mayo in front of the fight, and fellow warrior resting peacefully face down in gravel on the big hill of Los Feliz, whats the problem ??
My theory is that he bet $40,000 of "fat tony's" money on
37-1 "icudawudashuda" to WIN in the 4th, and it came in 2nd.
Fat Tony told him to PLACE the bet. Oooops
