PLUS THREE FROM PATRICK
Favorite Canterbury characters through the years:
The Swami: This selective, long-shot bettor is such a savant that he once studied dozens of losing tickets blowing in a high wind near the paddock and pointed at a winner accidentally discarded by a gambling friend.
Elbert Minchey: A jockey and horsemen who found happiness with a Litchfield lady, Carol, who was his ninth wife.
Dark Star: We're approaching the second anniversary of his death. Canterbury weeps his loss on a daily basis.
