San Jose Strip Clubs: In a One-Horse Stable, a Forlorn Filly Has Come From Nowhere
So O’Farrell gave away the filly, unloading her on the horse broker John Shaw, who later told him she was the single slowest horse he had ever been around. Shaw sold the filly to Hunt for $1,000, and Hunt soon began to look for someone he could sell the horse to. He reached out to Snyder and asked for $4,500.
Snyder’s life savings amounted to $2,000, which he carried around in his boot because he was worried about being robbed. He told Hunt that was all he had and promised to pay him the remaining $2,500 if the filly won a race.
Hunt agreed and Snyder’s one-horse stable was back in business. But his filly still needed a name. He came up with Lisa’s Booby Trap, named in part after his wife and in part after a strip club in Florida he admits he likes to frequent.
