YMMV / The Sopranos S 4 E 5 Pie Oh My

• Genius Bonus: Or, Athlete Bonus. Tony's strategy to win the first horse race is to have the rider hold back until the final lap, and with the shorter race, tells the rider to have the horse go as fast as it can for the whole race. Both strategies succeed. These are Track & Field techniques: the first is for long distance races like the 400m and 800m, and the second is for short distance sprints like 100m. Tony may have not have the making of a varsity athlete, but he still picked up a lot.
• Special Effects Failure: Tony and co. cheering at what is obviously Stock Footage of a horse race.
