This is Part II of the podcast with Hank. Part I focused on his relationship with and stories about Jimmy “The Greek.” Part II dives into Hank’s long career in sports gambling and sports media. The taping of the interview occurred several weeks ago.

  • 6:37: What should horse racing do to appeal to a younger audience
  • 8:05: Horse racing is their own worst enemy

  • 30:20: His opinion why legalized gambling outside of Nevada has been frowned upon
  • 32:20: On his favorite type of wager
