When handicapping, sometimes the sure bet is not going straight to the source…

CAPTION: FILEP (jockey): “We’ll ask this lady—Madame, wouldn’t you agree when picking a selection, the JOCKEY’S STATS are by superior a reference tool then the mere ‘Past Performances’ of an ordinary race filly?” DIVA (horse): “NO NO NO! It’s about the Filly! Pick from the PP’s! Say ‘THE FILLY’! You’d pick ME!’ LADY RACE FAN: “Hmmmmmm…. And all this time I’ve just been betting my grand-babies birthdays…”
NY RACE TRACK CHAPLAINCY 10TH ANNUAL BRUNCH: 8.19.15
Seasoned race goers have conditioned themselves to look faaaaaaaaar down the home stretch in anticipation of seeing their duo of Diva Chalkchaser and Filep Szabo make that come from behind move, multiple lengths off the winner…
‘Where they at? What’s taking ’em so long? When they gonna make a bloody move?’
Same could be said about their cartoonist—‘When is A.E. Sabo gonna make a bloody move?’
Well, A.E. in fact did make a move: the new A.E. SABO STUDIO – home of OFF THE PACE has finally settled in a distinct corner of a historic downtown not far from Florida’s TAMPA BAY DOWNS.
And while web-fans question TEAM DIVA’s whereabouts, their new studio is creating cartoons for charities at work in the industry: JOCKEYS AND JEANS at THE INDIANA GRAND RACING CASINO and THE RACE TRACK CHAPLAINCY OF AMERICA’s WHITE HORSE AWARDS, profile pieces for clients such as THE JOCKEY CLUB, AMERICA’S BEST RACING and TEAM DIVA’s regular feature in the international feel-good racing publication GALLOP MAGAZINE!
So keep straining to see our heroes coming from behind—new TEAM DIVA cartoons will return again soon, fast and funny and always just short of the wire!
Best wishes to All!
